People in charge. In the end, they got him. They always do. Stones arrest is already fading from the headlines were placed by the latest political crisis in the moment or a skirmish in the culture wars. Soon we will forget it ever happened. Before we do, its worth taking just a moment to consider a few basic questions about it if only because nobody else is going to. First, why did the Justice Department staged what was in effect a military assault on roger stones house . Stone himself asked that question over the weekend. Watch. The idea that a 29 member s. W. A. T. Team in full Tactical Gear with assault weapons would surround my house and i would open the door looking down the barrel of assault weapons, that i would be frog marched out front barefoot and handcuffed when they simply contacted me. As you know, its pretty standard for that to happen. Tucker its pretty standard, as you know. But is it pretty standard . To send dozens of federal agents with rifles to arrest an unarmed 66yearold man whos been charged with a nonviolent crime . Well, no, it is not standard. It is shocking. Any honest person who pays attention could tell you that. Roger stone, who was there, says there were 29 agents on the scene, along with 17 vehicles, two of them armored, and a helicopter overhead. If thats an accurate accounting, it means the feds tent more armed men to roger stones house in Fort Lauderdale donated to usama bin ladens compound in pakistan, just for some perspective on this. What was the justification for doing that . Prosecutors knew stone was not a flight risk. Hes broke. He doesnt even have a valid passport. They could simply have called his lawyer and told him to surrender. Thats the actual standard in cases like this. But they didnt do that. Instead they went with guns drawn. Who decided to do that . How much did it cost taxpayers . We spend the last few days trying to answer those questions. It tells you a lot about contemporary america that we couldnt. We still have an idea. The Justice Department wouldnt answer us. The white house which supposedly oversees the Justice Department, didnt even respond. Maybe they dont know the answer to those questions. Possible. They dont control Robert Mueller. Nobody controls Robert Mueller. Mueller can send armed men to your home to roust you from bed at gunpoint because he feels like it and theres nothing you or anyone else can do about it. Mueller has an unlimited budget and no timetable. He doesnt have to answer questions. He can do whatever he wants whenever he wants to whomever he wants. He cannot be fired. Mueller is the single most powerful person in america and yet nobody voted for him. He is a living rebuke to the principles of our democratic system. At the same time, our leaders tell us we need Robert Mueller, allpowerful unelected prosecutor accountable to no one to protect us from threats to you, yourself, here democracy. Nobody in washington catches the irony of this. Mueller himself is a threat to our democracy, the most powerful man elected by nobody. Our media dont ask questions about any of this or even acknowledge that it is a question. They have chosen sides. Heres roger stone from our show on friday night. Its disconcerting that cnn was aware that i would be arrested before my lawyers were informed. So thats disturbing. If it was a dangerous situation, which would merit the s. W. A. T. Team, well then cnns cameraman would be in danger. I dont know why they would be allowed to be there. Tucker so thats a fair question about who asks it and many began asking within minutes of stones arrest on friday morning. How did cnn know about a raid that was supposed to be secret . Did they learn from muellers team . Cnn reacted angrily to the question. We are reporters, they said. We are not state media. We didnt collude with the feds. We used reporters intuition. Yesterday cnn president jeff stocker dispatched his minions to bat down further questions on the topic. Speak on the fringes of the right, a Conspiracy Theory spread and it was about cnn and Robert Mueller. That we were tipped off by mueller. To embarrass roger stone and record his arrest. They are saying that its propaganda. A lot of people, including some mainstream commentators and journalists, started asking questions about this Conspiracy Theory. As journalists, we have to be very careful not to allow badfaith actors to hijack the conversation move the story away from what it really should be. Tucker [laughs] save that tape. Its one for the ages. It summarizes everything. Just to recap what you just heard. We journalists, says cnn, need to fight back against the fringes of the right who just want to move the story away from what it should really be. It goes without saying cnn decides. They decide what the story should really be, and if you dont agree, you are on the fringes of the right. In other words, shut up, you guys. Stop asking questions we dont feel like answering. But the show persisted because its our job. We asked cnns official spokesman and the kid that you stop playing media reporter a very subtle question. Did muellers office help you with your story . The response of course, feigned outrage. How dare you . You are right wing. Be quiet. But when we kept pressing them, an interesting thing happened. They didnt deny it. To be totally clear, heres the specific question that we asked. In federal Law Enforcement officials confirm the raid on roger stones house to cnn before it happened . Very simple question. When we pressed it, cnn dropped the fake outrage. They just refused to answer. Because of course cnn talked to muellers people before the raid. There was never any doubt about that. All the barking aside, mueller wanted the raid on roger stones home caught on tape and publicly aired as a warning to other disobedient witnesses about what can happen to you if you step out of line. Cnn was happy to oblige. Cnn acted as the Public Relations arm of the Mueller Investigation as they have before, and then they lied about it in the most selfrighteous possible way and sent those kids on tv to lie some more. It answers a lot of questions. No wonder cnn seems so eager to defend fridays raid and to belittle and attack and marginalize anyone who asked honest questions about it. Now they are no longer covering Robert Mueller. There working for Robert Mueller and you should know that. Kim strassel joins us tonight. Great to see you. Before we get into what weve been talking about, there was news today from the administration that the Mueller Investigation is reaching its final stage. Do you think thats true, and what does that mean exactly . I hope so, tucker. Two years of this is two years too long. We need some answers and it needs to happen soon. This could be the best and that happens in the country in a very long time. If it is indeed finishing up. Tucker well, what a distraction from a lot of important things that are happening. As someone who covers the criminal justice world for a living, us some perspective. Late middleaged guy, no history of violence, no passport, no firearms in the home. Under investigation for over a year. Emails and texts already in the position of the prosecutor. Would you send dozens of armed men to arrest him . Is that normal . No, of course not. Of course not. Of course its not normal. As you say, the Standard Operating Procedures here would be to call his lawyer and asked him to surrender. I think it gets to the other point of your opening as well. Mr. Mueller unfortunately does not answer to anyone. As a result, we can bring up these topics. You can call and ask the question why do you do it . He doesnt have to answer it. He doesnt have to answer to anybody in the end. That is one of the reasons that we should hope that all this is ending. Especially when you look at the list of people hes gone after and the crimes for which theyve been gone after. Nearly all of them crimes that he claims they have committed after he was appointed as special counsel. Not any for the time. Mackey was actually asked to investigate, at least not in america. Tucker is a constitutional question, how in a democratic republic and you have someone is accountable to no elected person, who was accountable to no voters. I thought all power and the government emanates from voters. But mueller stands apart. How can this be constitutionally allowed . While, legal scholars have had a lot of problems with the special counsel law for a long time, partly on reasons that you just mentioned and also on accountability questions. Look, in theory, he can be fired, okay . What we both understand is that politically cant be fired because of the brouhaha that would come up with any work to actually tell him to step down. Tucker so why doesnt apart from what you think of trump or maybe you believe trump is a secret agent working for Vladimir Putin, but even if you believe that, why wouldnt and you are liberal, why wouldnt you be very worried about a prosecutor who is operating wholly outside the system and accountable to nobody . If you really cared about democracy, that would terrify you, wouldnt it . We have seen the left change their view on all kinds of things, tucker. This is the party that at one point cared about abuse of Law Enforcement tactics. They cared about the things you just mentioned, accountability, making sure that there was accountability and democracy and that someone had to answer to someone else. But when it comes to donald trump, they are quite happy to throw all of that on the other side. Its a very frustrating to people like me whod been trying to write about mr. Muellers probe in an objective way and look at the evidence out there in an objective way and say look, would anybody like to see what happened to carter page happen to anybody else on the basis of the Opposition Research they used . The democrats should be very worried that a future Justice Department might do this to one of their candidates, and no one should want that. Tucker i will defend that candidate if it ever happens. I mean it. I think its very wrong. Kim strassel, thank you for that perspective. I appreciate it. Michael caputo was an advisor to the Trump Campaign. Hes had his own expenses with the Mueller Investigation. He joins us tonight. Thank you for coming on. I held judgment on the owner for over a year. I wanted to think the best, former head of the fbi. Watching what happened friday at roger stones home has ripped the veil off the diet, that he is an authoritarian nutcase to do Something Like that. We were surprised by . After what we saw what went down with Paul Manafort detail by detail without any cameras present, it matches exactly what happened to paul. I think just like when it happened to paul, people are going to complain and scream to the high heavens about how soviet this tactic is. It will do nothing. It will fall on deaf ears. Robert mueller and by the way the department of justice has verified that they can do this to anyone in america. I was surprised, i guess, for a minute but the one thing i cant figure out is you know, the camera is going to serve roger stone better than it does the mueller team because look what we were all able to witness. Tucker thats a really good point. So are you convinced, as i am becoming, that mueller did this for a reason, not just because he doesnt like roger stone. I should note i have texted a lot with roger stone come as many people in the media have. Stone was always saying things like i know mueller is reading my texts and being provocative. He clearly was reading his text. But that this was designed to send a message to other people mueller is investigating that if you step out of line, we will hurt you. Right, and im a witness in this jackpot, but my attorney whose former new York State Attorney general, former u. S. Prosecutor, told me you can flip from a witness to a subject to a target in the blink of an eye with a group like this. Anybody who they have talked to, i think theres a couple three dozen hooves theyve interviewed. This was a message sent to us that at any time you can get a knock on your door and 29 men will come with automatic weapons which by the way not only more than they sent to go after bin laden, its 29 more men than the they sent to benghazi to pick up and defend our own men. Tucker i mean, defending im not defending putin. Putin has never done anything like this in this country, i have to say. We dont live in terror of putin during this year. You know what . He does it all the time in russia. For all of us who have been concerned about russias involvement in our elections, we have to realize that we are now living in russia. This is what Vladimir Putin does. I lived there for seven years before Vladimir Putin took over. It was happening then too. Thats where we are today. Tucker well, i dont want to live in that country at all. The one thing im really concerned about his rogers funding. Thats why im trying to help them raise money. Roger stone, go find me. Com. Hes going to have to come up with 100,000 every two months until this thing is over because hes fighting it to the end. Tucker its unbelievable. Michael caputo, thank you very much. We have a fox news alert. Police a five Police Officers have been shot in the city of houston. Trace gallaghers on the story and joins us now. Trace. This was a narcotic war being served on the southeast houston home and police have confirmed one suspect was inside the home and a neighbor says she heard at least a dozen rounds being fired. Houston police have confirmed five officers were shot, two of them are critical. Three are stable. All five have been taken to Memorial Hermann hospital which is a level 1 trauma center. Police say one suspect is dead, and despite numerous reports of one or more other suspects being barricaded inside the residence, police have no word on other suspects. In fact, s. W. A. T. Teams are on scene using robotic cameras to search for any other potential suspects. We should note a neighbor did say earlier that he could hear police trying to negotiate with somebody inside, which is not to say there was someone inside. Along with houston police, the Harris CountySheriffs Department and department of Public Safety are also on scene, and Texas Governor greg abbott is allocating any needed resources. Five officers shot, two of them are critical. Three of them are stable. Tucker. Tucker trace gallagher, thanks a lot for that sad story. The 2020 campaign is ramping up, and the leading candidates are racing left so quickly it will make your head spin. Mark steyn has been watching carefully and he joins us with his assessment next. Tucker the 20208 democratic president ial field is big and getting bigger. Kamala harris of california has tried to be the most leftwing of the candidates. Suddenly thats not so easy. Hillary clinton has said she hasnt ruled out a run. Expect an announcement any day or a nonannouncement. In the sunday interview, the ceo of starbucks Howard Schultz that he might run as an independent. He was immediately attacked by democrats as the jill stein equivalent. Chaos, basically. Fox washington correspondent Kristin Fisher has been following it and joins us tonight. Kamala harris spend a lot of time in the speech going after President Trump and his policies. She called his wall a medieval vanity project and she called his policy of separating families of the border at human rights abuse. As for her own policies, though, she is proposing tax reform that would reverse republican tax cuts, criminal justice reform. She says shes running so no parent has to teach their young son that Police Officers and im quoting stop him, arrest him, chase him, or kill him because of his race. She also wants universal prek and debtfree college and medicare for all. On that last point, another possible 2020 contender is calling Free Health Care as false a promise as the wall. The starbucks billionaire Howard Schultzs infuriating Many Democrats by threatening to run as an independent which could split the antitrump vote and help him win a second term. I am seriously thinking of running for president. I will run as a centrist independent outside of the 2party system. We are living at a most fragile time. Not only the fact that this president is not qualified to be the president but the fact that both parties are consistently not doing whats necessary on behalf of the American People and are engaged every single day and revenge politics. Since we are speaking of revenge politics, Hillary Clinton may be considering running again. Cnn is reporting that clinton has told people shes not closing the doors to the idea of running in 2020 but there are other reports that say that that report is not true. So its still a long shot but tucker, i think it is safe to say that President Trump wouldnt mind running against her again in 2020. Tucker that would be a remarkable race. We would cover that gladly. Kristin fisher, thank you very much. Author and columnist mark steyn has spent endless hours of the dog track and always went so hes a perfectly handicap all political races, including this one. Mark, great to see you. Bad mechanical hair is not going to run. We are not going to be see third Hillary Clinton term. Tucker who jumps out . Does anyone jump out is interesting, as saying something unexpected. May be the trump of the cycle on the left. Was interesting i think about this cycle, thats another reason why hillary is all wrong for it, is that this time around and its unfortunate for Bernie Sanders himself, but actually everyone is running as bernie. If you look at Kamala Harris platform, free prekindergarten for everybody. Even if you think thats a good idea, do you want a secretary of prek in washington organizing that for 350 Million People . The universal health care, the universal free college. This is a party that is actually moving left at an astonishing rate and the difference between now and then when hillary ran is that basically everyone is bernie. Everyone is bernie and theres no room for hillary. Even old joe biden, when he stands up there, he doesnt even know the term systemic racism. He keeps calling it systematic racism. Systematic is what slavery was. All of the editors clean that up for him in his speech but hes basically trying to be Bernie Sanders too. Tucker poor guy. He is too old to be woke. What about burning himself . Does he have a shot in a field full of lookalikes . Well, thats an interesting question. I happened to be, every so often, in the adjoining booth in my corner of Northern New England at the diner to bernies key advisors. They actually figure out that if you are as old as bernie and running against a 74yearold incumbent is your best shot, its an interesting question. Whether the reason bernie can get away with fullblown socialism is because he is so old and that when you actually hang it around someone in the relative bloom of youth like Kamala Harris, whether that doesnt actually make the full horror of the unaffordable lavishness of the programs seem more evident. Tucker thats a deep point. I think its easier to take from bernie because he really say welcome hes kind of a legitimate soviet. Hes old enough. He is like the genial old uncle. Seems less menacing. As for the starbucks guy, when polls are closing in florida at 7 00, thats the only place in america where the lines are longer and slower than starbucks. This is a natural career move for that guy, i would say. Tucker hes the worlds biggest operator of homeless shelters now. Great to see you. Thanks a lot, tucker. Tucker good to see you. We are often told with there are no problems at the border, there is no border crisis and you are in that case if you think otherwise. Tell that to the latest mass caravan headed straight for southern border. We will on that with buck sexton after the break. Tucker gavin newsom recently replaced jerry brown as the governor of california. You may be read he has designated his wife the states first partner. Thats how hip and modern gavin newsoms. Thats not all. Hes also deciding he doesnt want to live in the governor s mansion in sacramento anymore. Instead, newsom is moving into a 3. 7 million estate in an upscale suburb. These him has kids and he calls the neighborhood more kid friendly than sacramento. The problem is gavin newsom cares deeply about climate change. He says that a lot. He cares a lot more about it then you do. Hes a really good person. Firm ardent environmentalist like newsom, the california governor s residence is a Perfect Place to live, within walking distance of the state capital. A no emission commute. His new home is an hour roundtrip for the entire entourage, the frosted window suburban entourage. Its a big carbon footprint. There goes the planet. Theres another problem too, may be a bigger problem. Newsom also cares about diversity, he talks about diversity a lot. Probably about as much the tonsil climate change. For diversity aficionados, sacramental is heaven. In 2002, Harvard University in Time Magazine described sakamoto as americas most diverse city, the citys Public School students speak 43 languages. 40 percent dont speak english at home. You would think gavin newsom would want his kids right there in the center of all that diversity. But no. Instead, hes moving them to one of the least diverse neighborhoods in the entire state of california. Its a place where the demographics look like 1950. In other words, its very, very white. Which is something that newsom thinks is very, very bad. Or says he does. But does he really believe it . Not really, because hes moving his family there. Youre starting to figure out how this works . You make policies that totally change the country. Then you attack anyone who criticizes those policies as evil. And then force them to be quiet or fire them if they want. And then you personally move as far as you can away from the effects of those policies, preferably behind a wall somewhere. Thats the trick. To be fair, its not just gavin newsom who does this. They all do that. All of them. Well, its well established at least on tv that theres no crisis at all on the u. S. Mexico border. The very idea of that is. Trump and republicans continue to live out basic facts. The truth is theres no crisis at the border that justifies a government shutdown. There is no crisis of the border. Youve got to start from the place that every thing the president is saying is fiction. So its very hard to negotiate with someone whos dealing with a madeup problem. Tucker those guys that literally say anything. Theres nothing they wouldnt say. Now theyre saying its a madeup problem. Its all just a fever dream, product of your deranged imagination. But wait. There is that 12,000 person caravan coming up right now from central america, and mexicos new governors making it easy for them to get here. Or did we dream that up . Buck sexton is a former ca analyst. Hes been on the border and drives us with an update. Its made up, this crisis on the border. Does that comport with what youve seen . Members of congress that say that either havent been to the border havent take the times become members of Border Patrol or immigrations and Customs Enforcement about the many layers of crisis that are occurring right now the border. On one friend, you have not increasing very serious medical cases. This is problematic in a number of levels. You people showing up, as we know, there are two children who died in custody. They were ill when they entered custody but there many people in our coming into Border Patrol custody, in many cases they are surrendering so they are actually seeking out Border Patrol. Knowing that they are going to get medical services. They are having to set up screening facilities, frontline screening facilities for Border Patrol today with people showing up with h1n1 flu, scabies, a whole litany of different communicable, very serious diseases that they have to be treated for, courtesy of the taxpayer, that often requires taking them to the nearest hospital which takes one or two, depending on the sector, Border Patrol agents to accompany them to the hospital. All of this paid for by uncle sam. Then you also have to deal with the drain on resources. Border patrol guys are single, we have enough problems as it is. They had closed at 30,000 family units alone. It doesnt include unaccompanied minors, people trying to cross illegally the oldfashioned way by themselves, that are showing up and turning themselves in. Whats happening is Border Patrol is being turned into a de facto red cross on our board of herbivore coming up with serious illnesses, diseases. People who are eight or nine months pregnant. This is happening in increasing numbers every month. The problem of the border is getting worse while people are on tv going saying theres no problem. Tucker its not happening in the neighborhood. We need to bring this awesomeness you described into the neighborhoods of people making policies. Let me ask you, since youve spoken recently does to people who work there enforcing immigration law. Do they think its a crisis . No doubt at all. They are certain as a crisis. Its getting worse. When you look at the strain and drain on overall border resources. That includes the enormous and now even bigger, because of the shutdown, backlog and the courts. It includes the weight that the assailant system has not been addressed so congress has to pass loss. If you understand the system, there many different ways to gain it. You can come into the country effectively and skip the entire line and stay in the United States and even though you wont get asylum in the, youll be in the interior of the u. S. It has to be addressed by congress. Theres also a crisis of lawlessness. One thing that i think thats interesting as soon you see these people on tv saying you cant light of the fbi. He cant light of the federal government when it has to do with the mueller pro. The same laws apply. The same laws about lying to federal officers, Border Patrol in immigrations immigrations and Customs Enforcement. People are showing up, renting, borrowing children from other people. Thats fraud, tucker. Its illegal. Tucker how many of these do we prosecute . Under 100 for the last 12 months, of the estimated thousands that are probably occurring. They dont really know. Didnt have the time. They dont do g a checks at the border. They dont have the ability to process. They have overwhelmed the system matches with medical request but with lawlessness because u. S. Attorneys wont even take up the cases now of, as i was told, 30 somethingyearold saying they are teenagers so they can skip to the front of the line. Thats illegal too. The same love that since people like stone possibly to jail for alleged lying to federal agents can tucker none of those people volunteered for the Trump Campaign. If they had, they would be in jail right now. Probably smart not to do that. Buck sexton, great to see you as always. The arrest of roger stone is being as Proof Positive of russian collusion. Does it actually show that . We will unpack it after the break. Tucker the fbi sent enough firepower to roger toms house on friday to overthrow third world government. His wrist is needless to say being taken as proof that russia stole americas lunch money or burned our toast or act our cars or subverted our democracy or something. This past weekend, as she often has, nancy pelosi speculated that russia must have something on the president. What do the russians have on donald trump . Politically, personally, or financially. What is putin blackmailing President Trump with . Personally, politically, or financially. I asked the question, what do the russians have on donald trump politically, personally, or financially . The russians must have something personally, politically, or financially on President Trump. Tucker over on pbs, Eric Swalwell of california claimed that trump is a proven russian agent. Couldnt expend quite how. Heres the exchange. At what point do you draw the line and not accuse the president of the United States without any evidence of being an agent of russia . He has betrayed our country. I dont say that lightly. I worked as a prosecutor for seven years. Between the country. We want evidence before you say that. He works on their behalf. After it was revealed the russians were attacking our democracy, he went to a press conference inside russia, keep doing it. Speed we are familiar with that sequence of events. As a prosecutor, that wouldnt be evidence in court. You know the difference between hard evidence and circumstantial evidence. Im still not hearing the evidence that hes an agent of russia. I think its pretty clear. Its all hiding in plain sight. Tucker hiding in plain sight. Does roger stones and prove once and for all that all these people are agents of Vladimir Putin . Glenn greenwald joins us tonigh tonight. Is that, can we say now conclusively that the russian collusion narrative is true in the wake of this indictment of roger stone . No, it actually demonstrates if anything the opposite. Let me address those horrific mccarthyite clips you just plain nancy pelosi and Eric Swalwell claiming that trump is controlled by the kremlin, something that we heard throughout the 50s in 60 lodged against democrats. With the same amount of evidence which was none. In almost every important instance, including right now in venezuela, giving arms to the ukrainians who are opposed to the russians, bombing the russian client state in syria, imposing incredibly harsh sanctions on russian oligarchs, trump has acted contrary to the interests of the kremlin. The most important example of which is probably trumps very vehement denunciations of the germans for buying natural gas from russia, one of their most important exports on which their economy depends rather than buying it from the u. S. Really weird behavior for somebody who is being blackmailed by Vladimir Putin and keeps doing exactly the opposite of what putin wants. The roger stone indictment is like all of the other mueller indictments, and that is the number of people that mueller has indicted for why the original mueller letters that he was supposed to find out, namely whether there was criminal coordination between the Trump Campaign on the one hand and russian government on the other hand with respect to the 2016 election, that number is zero. That was the number before roger stones indictment. That continues to be the number after. Its not an investigation is complete, but its coming up on two years. Its a year and eight months. I dont know what the future holds. Maybe mueller will someday die people for that. Maybe he will cure cancer. But as a journalist, all i can do is say what has happened up until this point and up until this point, there been zero indictments up on question. Tucker very quick. Why what, if the mueller people sent dozens of armed agents to the house of an unarmed middle aged man to do something that couldve been done through lawyers, why does no one in the press they wait a second. That seems like overkill. Cnn wasnt not only not objective. They were super excited by it. They sent one of their correspondence that has connections, it may work for the fbi, to cover it like it was the o. J. Chase. This is one of the problems. The press has completely given up its adversarial role and it comes questioning prosecutorial power, with the cia doesnt with the fbi does. Robert mueller is the most like this godlike figure and as long as you do abuses to people they dont like, like roger stone, they will sit and year. Tucker yeah, i think you are exactly right. We should push back. I hope i have enough integrity to push back when the next prosecutor does it to someone i dont like. I really do. Glenn greenwald, thank you very much. Richard goodstein is a lawyer and former advisor to bill of Hillary Clinton and he joins us tonight. I just cant nancy pelosi and Eric Swalwell are telling me, and i know them both, that now we have the goods, the indictment of roger stone which to the untrained eye has nothing to do with russian collusion. But to the russian collusion truth there is, its Proof Positive. One of my missing about this indictment . First of all we had evidence of collusion from Paul Manaforts lawyers when he disclosed secret polling data to Russian Military intelligence. So thats collusion right there. It enabled rush out, if they were so inclined, and theres evidence they were, they could identify what the swing voters were and where to go after them. The Intelligence Community in the u. S. Has thats exactly what they did. Tucker there is no Intelligence Community. Every Intelligence Agency so you dispute the fact there are intelligence agencies. I bet all of your viewers take issue with that. Tucker there is no Intelligence Community. They are not 17 separate i didnt say 17. Tucker there is no consensus on anything in real life. There is no on who hacked podestas emails. Lets not pretending we know things we dont. I heard your guest earlier in the show, the vehemence about how roger stone was treated. About how horrible mueller is. I have we seen 1 ounce of fat addressed by donald trump or his minions towards the russians for interfering with our election . I would say no. That proves to me what nancy pelosi is saying which is that something is going on. Why would there be 100 contacts and not one of them more than a dozen trump people, why did they live time after time after time . Tucker let me ask you as an american. They are two separate questions. Russian interference with the federal government just did to roger stone. As an american, presumably you care about civil liberties, are you okay with that . Heres a guy whos not a flight risk, the who theyve been investigating, spying on him for over a year but, couldnt destroy evidence. Its ridiculous. Are you okay with sending dozens of armed people to his house to rust and barefoot . The evidence is that there were dozens. There may have been a dozen. I discount what roger stone says. Tucker i saw the tape that they set up with cnn. They were heavily armed people. Tucker why would you need an automatic weapons or arrest roger stone . I dont know that mueller is the one who says how this many people as opposed to two or three. Secondly, i think mueller is probably sick of what he got from Paul Manafort widgets attempts to destroy evidence and obstruct justice and change peoples testimony. He saw evidence that roger stone was doing the exact same thing. Thats where he said ive had it. Tucker is that the prosecutors job to punish people principally . Make sure they dont do it again. Tucker intimidate and frighten so they obey. Frees him so he can do on they brought him in and they let him out on bail in 10 minutes. They did this to scare the crap out of him and tell the rest of us if you disobey this unelected god figure whose power is uncontested by anybody, then were going to hurt you. Hes not elected. Hes a republican. Live voters ultimately elected the people tucker firing him. The acting attorney general code. Democrats if you fire him, he will be will be impeached innately. This is someone democrats they have no oversight by an elected official. Does it bother you . Seems like the opposite of democracy. Has oversight over the Justice Departments. They funded and they can bring people in for questioning. Tucker what would happen if you tried to fire Robert Mueller . Youd be accused of working for Vladimir Putin. I dont think you are referred democracy. I worked for someone who stood up to richard nixon. Tucker it was a different time. We are out of time unfortunatel unfortunately. Richard goodstein, great to see you. Thank you. Its easier than ever to be ruined by the crowd rushing to judgment. How do you survive in an age where the online mob ropes free. Michael wrote joins us after the break. Tucker you may have read about a wave of layoffs in the media last week. More than 1,000 people lost their jobs, mostly in online news. Some of the biggest losses word buzzfeed. About 220 employees got fired there. Buzzfeed is run by a guy called jonah. Eight. He is and just in media ceo. Hes an icon in the tech world. He is a living embodiment of the values of modern big business. He first became famous a number of years ago when he attacked my key for running sweatshops. The attention from that helped him break into the media. From there, he helped run the Huffington Post and eventually buzzfeed. As a boss, he transition smoothly from that leftism of his youth to the new and far more lucrative version of wall capitalism that so many ceos now practice. He spent a lot of time extolling the virtues of inclusivity and diversity and attacking conservatives as racist. At the same time, perretti crashed the efforts of its own staff to unionize. He argued it wouldnt be right for buzzfeed because unions are only good for replaceable employees. Buzzfeed staff were apparently so special they didnt need unions. Turns out they did. Now more than 200 of buzzfeeds employees understand they were in fact quite replaceable. After firing them, perretti tried to weasel his way out of paying his employees, threatening their unused paid time off until the public outcry became so great that he finally caved and paid. This is very common, perretti told them. Its true. Greedy, stupid bosses who buy a pass from the Business Press by mouthing progressive platitudes are indeed very common. They are everywhere, unfortunately. Whats rarer are humane bosses who care about the people who work for them. We could use more of those. Mike rowe has a new Scholarship Program trying to send Young Americans to trade schools. In doing that, hes willing to work with a bunch of different organizations, some of which not everybody likes. For doing that, hes been accused of selling out. Mike rowe joins us tonight. So mike, i mean this in the best way. I like it when you are attacked because unlike most people get attacked on social media, you write these long very thoughtful replies that actually inform us. This is no different. What happen here . Thank you. Full disclosure. I sold out years ago. Middle of the night on the qvc cable shopping channel, my very first job in tv. Yeah, yeah. I was seeing in the opera back in the late 80s and i got an addition for qvc in the next thing i knew, i was telling things in the middle of the night that i could neither explain or justify. We all do it we have to do to make a go of it. Here in 2018, i cant tell you anything you dont know about cognitive dissonance or the transitive property or confirmation bias. All of that stuff, right now with the big fat umbrella of logical fallacies spread over top of it. I see it in my world every single day. Even on a Nonprofit Charity where i give away half a Million Dollars a year to kids who want to apply for a work ethic scholarship. If i take money from a company or an individual who wants to help me in that effort, they need to comport with what ever list you have in your mind of approved networks, personalities, and causes. Once upon a time, we distance ourselves from people that we didnt necessarily agree with. But today, we distance ourselves from people who sit too close to people with whom we disagree. This isnt Headline News but in my little world, six years ago it started when i had the temerity to talk to glenn beck and bill maher in the same week about the same topic. Peoples heads exploded. Tucker how do you respond . Does reasoning work . You wrote a very, i thought, thoughtful, which people should its on facebook. Look it up. A thoughtful response to someone who said you sold out. Does it work . Does region convince people anymore . Look, facebook has its pros and cons. To be honest, oneonone, i dont know. I feel like today people are so dug in behind whatever position they espouse that you simply arent going to convert. Facebook is a public forum. Ive got 5 Million People on my page and the reason i take time to try and have something that passes for thoughtful discourses because it gets passed around. There are people out there in the middle who are willing in this case for instance to say maybe charles cope isnt the person that ive heard he was. Maybe Tucker Carlson im going to get killed tonight. Tucker he is. Hes definitely the menu think he he is. [laughter] i dont mind. To me, its not a problem because im a public figure running a public charity. I can take a public platform and turn this kind of nonsense into what might be a thoughtful back thoughtful backandforth that might in fact change someones mind. Lets face it. Its also great publicity. Its hard to give away half a Million Dollars to the lens of work ethic. Mike rowe works. Com right now if you want to apply for a work ethic scholarship. I am reduced to shameless plugs on your show because i dont really know how else to put that message out there. Without inflaming somebody whos going to start the sentence with mike rowe, always been a fan of yours but. So you sat down with that son of a gun over there and said this. Now all of a sudden you are on the nautilus forever. Tucker we believe reason and decency will reemerge. Thats why you always have a space to shamelessly plug anything on the show. Mike rowe, thank you very much. Think about the buzzfeed story. The ceo spent most of the last five years telling you what a decent person he is under mistreated his employees. Thats the acid test. Lots of people jump up and down, moreau printing is definitely the coin of the realm at the moment. About hes morally superior to you, check and see how he treats his employees. Find out who his kids think of him. Theres no other test. Thats it for us tonight. Tune in every night at 8 00 p. M. , the sworn enemy of lying pompo pompocity smugness. In the mean assume, sean hannity from new york city. Sean ive always loved that dirty jobs show. Mikes a great guy. Tucker, great show. This is a fox news alert. We are now monitoring a very serious situation tonight out of houston. Multiple Police Officers were shot while serving a markets warrant. The suspect is believed to be dead. Were going to keep you posted. We start tonight, though, with hannity watch on the deep state and turn to Robert Muellers ongoing witch hunt.
