Ralph northam has now confirmed he was in the controversial picture in 1984 medical School Yearbook showing someone dressed in a k. K. K. Robe and hood and another wearing blackface. Northam did not state which costume he was wearing. But he did issue a statement that reads in part im deeply sorry for the decision i made to appear as i did in this photo and for the hurt that decision caused then and now. This behavior is not in keeping with who i am today and the values i have fought for throughout my career in the military, in medicine and in public service. The Virginia Republican party is condemning the picture saying, racism has no place in you virginia. The pictures are wholly inappropriate. And Governor Northam appeared ad in blackface or dressed in a k. K. K. Robe he should resign immediately. This marks the second time in recent days that northam drawn heat from republicans. He was called out to sex plain his support for a failed measure to permit full term abortions. Listen. If a mother is in labor, i can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered and kept comfortable. Resuscitated if that is what the mother and the family desired. Then the discuss would ensue. Northam worked as a immediate rat rick neurologist before being elected to the state senate in 2007. Its notable that northam was quick to condemn the racial violence that rocked charlottesville in 2017. And virginia democrats might be less resistant to fight potential resignation of northam because the Lieutenant GovernorJustin Fairfax is an africanamerican democrat. We will come in with breaking news if it happens. Tucker . Tucker it looks like it might. Trace gallagher, thank you very much. As you saw on tape, northam came out in favor of infanticide this week. Not exaggerating. Northam said it slowly and clearly. You just saw it. Then he reiterated his views in case he wasnt clear the first time. Today in a statement he said abortion of any stage this is a positive good listen to this carefully. Because reproductive freedom leads to economic freedom. In other words, abortion is virtous because it makes women efficient employees, better and more dutiful servants of northam donors. They can work longer hours without worrying about anybody but their bosses. He is in fair of that as is the democrats that serve their own master in the private equity class. But the press covered this. But the reporter of the Washington Post the real crime is republicans complaining about Ralph Northam. Abortion bill draws g. O. P. Outrage against Ralph Northam, democratic legislators. That is a headline. Republicans whine too much. Infanticide, not a big deal. Then all of that changed you heard today. The first day of black history month. Big League Politics uncovered the photo trace just told us about. What is so interesting about it is that Ralph Northam spent a lot of his last Campaign Calling his opponent racist. Again and again and again. The closing flurry of the campaign was ads putting up the republican opponent up against pictures what happened at charlottesville. Atrocities of charlottesville. There is no evidence that the opponent was racist but northam said 9 a lot. Strikingly northams opponent never took picture of himself in blackface or a klan robe. So there is irony of the story. As of now, a number of prominent democrats Kamala Harris among them, called for northam resignation among this. There are many in his party, particularly in virginia, standing by him. They personally oppose blackface and clap robes but they dont want them relegated to the black alley. They want them safe, legal and rare. Private matter between a politician and his donors. For now, Governor Northam will be kept comfortable, you can be certain of that and he will be resuscitated if that is what his party desires. Dave ruben hosts ruben report on youtube. He joins us. Do you find it striking, dave, in the week that the comments come out on camera they are unequiv unequivocal. He says that you have a right to kill the child. Then the yearbook photo looks like it end his career tonight. Yeah. I dont know that a politician could have much worse of a week than he is having right at this moment. Tucker, something we disagree on. I consider myself prochoice begrudgingly and 20 weeks should be the cutoff. I know that is an imperfect position. The left has gone so crazy on abortion. It was illustrated by what he said this week. That that is making decent liberals have a harder time taking moderate positions. When it comes to the photograph, only in the last two or three months we were dealing with the high School Yearbooks and brett kavanaugh. There was going to be no chance that people on the left would be willing to give him a Second Chance or explain himself or anything else. It is unclear now whether he is the one in the blackface or the k. K. K. Hood. He didnt say which one he was. By the rules that they are establishing he has to step down. Look, its awful. Nobody should be doing that kind of stuff. But that said, there is a slight piece of me that thinks we should caution this idea of the mutually assured destruction based on what all of our pasts are. That is not a pass on any specific thing in this or anything else. But we should worry about where it will lead us as a country as were all imperfect people. This is a case where i see no situation where he cant step down. He is from the party that calls all of you guys the conservatives racists. How can they possibly defend him now . Tucker i think that is right. I just keep thinking this. I lived in this country in 1984. I was dating the same girl i am with now. It wasnt that long ago. Nobody i knew had picture of klan robes. I dont want to add to the pileon but where was this . That was weird behavior in 1984. Im here to tell you. You are older than me. I was only 8 in 1984. I dont remember anyone doing that. But people do all sort of weird things. People wear weird offending Halloween Costumes and all that. Tucker they do. You are right. People have a right to wear or say whatever you want. It doesnt mean you wont have fallout or face repercussions for that. That is fine. But by the rules we are playing with now, they cant let him off the hook. If they do, it would fuel the fire that the really far left progressives are always stoking, which is that the establishment or the main part of the democrats or whatever he is, is racist. Then they really is a point. I think they have to get rid of him. We have to figure out a way to acknowledge people change over time. I dont know what his personal beliefs are. Yet, he called his opponent racist as you pointed out before. I dont know that there is any evidence of that. We live in a time where most of the people who were calling everyone else racist and bigots and home phobes and the rest of homophobes are those that are dealing with it. Tucker thank you for the wise analysis. Appreciate it. Thank you, tucker. Tucker democrat and radio host and frequent guest on the show and a former aide to Chuck Schumer and he joins us tonight. Do you find it strange, chris hahn, you can come out in public and say its okay to kill a child who has been born, which is what he said, and then he said it again. Everybody is like that is not a big deal. Infanticide. Killing a human being, whatever. They are okay with it. On the basis of a yearbook photo he will probably resign, i presume, by the end of tonight. Is that strange . I discuss infanticide thing ad nauseam. He was not calling for killing of babies born alive. He is talking about the difficult endoflife decisions for babies born disable and may die unless kept on reus thation. Save resuscitation. Lets save that for another day. He needs to resign now. He has to go. No apology here. He may have changed. But serving in public life is a privilege and it shouldnt be tainted by the stain of racism. Tucker im not going to argue. Im against racism. I make an argument against it every night on the show for which im called a racist. Im totally opposed to racism, i mean it. I wonder what the standard is. Keith ellison was a member of the nation of islam who called for a black ethno state and worshiped Louis Farrakhan as a godlike figure but that is totally cool because why . Look tucker seriously. I dont know all the details of that so i dont want to go down the path. Tucker he was a member of the nation of islam and called for a black ethno state and vice chairman of your party. Nobody said anything. I mentioned it 30 times on the show. Nobody cared. What is the standard . Exactly. The standard here is clear with Ralph Northam and what he did. He needs to go immediately. There are a lot of people in politics right now like steve king in iowa who need to go immediately. Too many people play around with racism and get to state. Tucker calling for black ethno state im not exaggerating. We detailed it many times on the show. Maybe there sangerment in favor of that, i dont know what it would be. Why is that okay . Steve king, he didnt call for an ethno state. Called for white nationalists. Tucker im not here to defend steve king. He says he didnt say that. Keith ellison did and the number two man in your party. Why is that okay . Tell the rest of us what the standard is. Why is it all right that Steve Scalise said he was david duke without the baggage and he is the number two ranking republican in the house of representatives . Tucker okay. There are a lot of things that need to be sorted out. We need to get to a place where we dont have racism, and we dont have people stoking racial issues in a bad way. Or in the government. Tucker i agree with that 100 . I agree. People should not be punished or rewarded on the basis of their skin color. That is the definition of racism. Not only is it happening, it expanding in this country and the left is pushing it. Yes. Tucker they should be ashamed of that. Let me ask you this they allow them to stick around for a long time. What about poor ed gillespie, they are not my politics but there is no evidence he is a racist. He is a decent man, actually. The northam character called him a racist, repeatedly. And heb is the one in the blackface with the klan outfit. Does someone owe him an apology at some point . No. Gillespie ran a campaign tucker okay. He ran a campaign all about the statue of robert e. Lee. What does that stand for . Who is that appealing to . You know who that is appealing to . Can i tell you who that is appealing to . Its not true. 1984 Ralph Northam and people just like it. Tucker i live here. Okay . Yeah. Tucker right across the river from virginia. He dud not run a campaign that was going all about robert e. Lee statue. There is no evidence he is a racist. I dont think there is a picture of ed gillespie in blackface or a klan hood. If the guy in the klanhood is calling you a racist maybe you deserve an apology. That is all im saying. Do you think or no . I dont think he deserves a apology. His campaign did racebaiting. Not just the robert e. Lee statue. The hoodies are coming to get you. Look, it is what it is. Its politics. That is what it was. That is the campaign. Ed gillespie not even from virginia, not even from the south. Tucker that is a separate argument. Appealing to the type of voter that would have been in that picture in 1984. Tucker i will say the campaign didnt find the picture but neither did the Washington Post. Washington post is not a serious newspaper. Its a joke. Nor his primary opponent. Tucker look, i agree. But the post got, kind of a newsletter run by the richest man in the world jeff bezos really a shameful publication. But it got forensic with ed gillespie, quite. They couldnt find a yearbook know toll of the guy running yearbook photo of a guy running for governor . Why do you think that is . This is some of the worst Opposition Research i have seen in his life. How none of his primary or political opponents or the local papers or the National Press for that matter found this picture is beyond me. This was a hotly contested race. You would think they would leave no stone unturned. They would have talked to friends from college to find out what happened. They did not. This was poor Opposition Research by everybody involved here. Its time for him to go. Tucker not even Opposition Research. Just like reporting. Its interesting. Maybe we can get the Washington Post guys assigned to Ralph Northam and how they missed this. The geniuses there. I have done Opposition Research in my life. The first thing you do is try to find pictures of them from when they were in college. This is not, this is not tucker you were good at that. When it came to brett kavanaugh. Find out what he is about. Tucker this is not a newspaper. This is a newsletter for the Democratic Party, as you well know. Chris, great to see you. Thank you. Nice to see you, tucker. Well, across the country, democrats have been pushing for abortion to the moment of birth. We are not making that up. Its hard to miss. But when the daily caller henry rogers asked members of congress about Governor Northam and his defense of infanticide they pleaded total ignorance of it. Watch this. Do you agree with Governor Northam comments yesterday about late term abortion . I have no idea what he said or what happened there. Do you agree with Governor Northam late term abortion comments he said yesterday . I dont know what he said. You have no idea what he said . Do you happen to agree with Governor Northams comments about abortion, late term abortion yesterday . I have not seen anything. Not heard about it . Ive been at retreat. Tucker they must have been zen buddhist retreats. In big sur or something. Unbelievable. Lie. Nancy pelosi said she had no idea either. Watch this. Considering the comments from Governor Northam yesterday how does it make it harder for the pro life democrats in the party, or does it cause problems . House Speaker Pelosi im sorry. I dont know what he said yesterday. Tucker yeah, just dont know. I dont have the interstate access. If only northam wanted doctors to wear blackface while committing infanticide that would have gotten attention. Abbey johnson former planned parenthood director and now an activist and joins us tonight. Thank you for coming on. It is so interesting how an entire party can push a policy position and refuse to talk about it, much less debate it. Why not just say yeah, were for this . They are lying. Look, they have all seen the clip and they all know what he said. But i think even now, prochoice democrats are going ew, is that a little too far . We dont know. Do we support this guy . Do we not . Its so extreme. Even the pro choicers on social media say wait a minute, what are we talking about here . People in the own party dont know how to defend this. Tucker this is completely extreme but its not necessarily a surprise. I mean, professor singer at princeton, leading ethicist has been pushing for infanticide for a long time. He hasnt been drummed out of academia. Some of the bills, the one in new york, pending on long island, vermont, virginia. They all sort of say the same thing that the viability Means Nothing at all. The one in vermont is so extreme. At least in the other state we have the lie of the health of the mother, which means anything. But at least you have to give some sort of excuse. But in vermont we are talking about elective abortion through the date of birth. We are talking about if the woman is laboring with her baby and she decides right before the baby is about to come out. You know what . I dont think i want to do this anymore. Then the doctor or whatever has the ability to take the life of the baby. When you look at what Governor Northam said, what does it mean . The baby is born alive and then what . The parents get to decide what will happen to the baby . Does it mean we starve the baby to death, do we suffocate the baby . We dont know what it means. Its insane that a pediatric neurosurgeon is championing the sort of bills. I guess what bothers me most there is no public conversation about this. I think as you said that a lot of people think of themselves as the pro choice and they dont want the government to get involved. I dont agree with that personally. I understand where they are coming from. I dont think they are bad people. I think this is too far. I dont think anybody in america supports this stuff. Most people dont know it is happening because there is no conversation about it. Honestly, this is not new. Colorado, there is a doctor in boulder, colorado, aborting babies up until the date of birth for any reason for many, many years. Its happening in albuquerque, new mexico. Its happening in maryland. This has been happening but im thankful now we have a National Platform to talk about the issues. It is happening. Its not just happening to babies who have terminal illnesses. Late term abortions are happening on live, healthy, viable babies. I think prolifers need to start saying they are here illegally and maybe gavin newsom will ride to the rescue and chain himself to planned parenthood door. He probably would. Abbey, thank you very much. Thank you so much. Tucker as we have been telling you, there is a lot going on in state of virginia tonight. The governor there, Ralph Northam hanging on, appears to be, by a thread. Will he resign . Well be the first to bring it to you if he does so in this hour. The president may have to declare a National Emergency if he wants to build a border wall. What would it detail . Is there a precedent for it . We have facts on it. Stay tuned. C. Man 1 mine. Caused liver damage. Vo epclusa treats all main types of chronic hep c. Vo whatever your type, ask your doctor if epclusa is your kind of cure. Woman 2 i had the common type. Man 2 mine was rare. Vo epclusa has a 98 overall cure rate. Man 3 i just found out about my hepatitis c. Woman 3 i knew for years. Vo epclusa is only one pill, once a day, taken with or without food for 12 weeks. Vo before starting epclusa, your doctor will test if you have had hepatitis b, which may flare up, and could cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. Vo tell your doctor if you have had hepatitis b, other liver or kidney problems, hiv, or other medical conditions. Vo . And all medicines you take, including herbal supplements. Vo taking amiodarone with epclusa may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. Vo common side effects include headache and tiredness. Vo ask your doctor today, if epclusa is your kind of cure. You should be mad they gave this guy a promotion. You should be mad at forced camaraderie. And you should be mad at tech that makes things worse. But youre not mad, because you have e trade, whos tech makes life easier by automatically adding technical patterns on charts and helping you understand what they mean. Dont get mad. Get e trades simplified technical analysis. This is it guys. You ready . To have epix . Absolutely. Woooo youd laugh. Oh, ow. [ chuckles ] youd cry. Look, look, look, look, look, look, look,. Maybe even laugh while crying. What the fertilizer . Sounds pretty great, right . Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight just say, add epix and it can all be yours. Its easy to upgrade. And you dont want to miss out on everything epix. Tucker the Government Shutdown ended for the moment, temporarily. But the battle over a border wall continues. Speaker of the house nancy pelosi vowed she will never fund that wall under any circumstances. The president promises he is going to build one. So that seems to leave the white house with one option. Declare a National Emergency and order the building of a wall on the southern border. That sounds like a pretty radical solution. But is it . It turns out National Emergencies happen all the time. Somehow very few of them receive any attention at all. In 1976, Congress Passed the National Emergencies act. That law grants the president the power to declare a state of emergency in response to virtually anything if he thinks its necessary. National emergencies can be renewed annually and routinely are. Congress can only block the emergency with twothird vote. Broad law and applied a lot. It began in 1979 when president jimmy carter declared National Emergency to keep the iranian Government Property entering the united states. That emergency is still ongoing despite being older than alexandria ocasiocortez for example. Since that date, american president s declared no fewer than 58 National Emergencies. 31 of them are still ongoing. The average state of emergency in the country lasted nine and a half years. What are the energies . Some really were emergencies. September 2001. President bush announced state of emergency to give white house Greater Authority to mobilize the military, call the National Guard and perform counterterrorist action. Its been renewed each of the past 18 years. So that was real. We also had a decade long National Emergency to combat the swine flu. President trump declared three National Emergencies already. I bet you didnt know that. One of them sanctioned those who used social media to influence elections. The dastardly mass donians macedonians. Another National Emergency punishes anyone who works to under mine sovereignty of lebanon. Lebanon. You see the point here . In washington, protecting the sovereignty of the far away middle eastern country very few americans will ever go to qualifies as a National Emergency. Protecting our own country sovereignty is, immoral. We are not overstating that. Just this week, four freshmen democrats in the house cosigned letter to demand lower funding for the border enforcement. Its virtous vir tuous to protect others. But wrong to protect ourselves. Douglas mcgregor retired colonel who worked to defend the country and author of margin of victory. He joins us tonight. Do you think its wise for the president to declare National Emergency to secure the boarder . Without question. 30 million illegal residents inside your country violated your borders disregarded the rule of law you have a National Emergency. That is absolutely the case. Secondly only the president can address this. He has Constitutional Authority to do so. He needs an executive order modeled on what i have written and i think is now widely appreciated inside the Fox News Community that effectively says look, secretary of the army, your mission is secure to border. You have 30 days. Use whatever forces you need. Write up the rules of engagement and provide you with whatever funding is necessary. You will secure the border. Now while the army does that, we can proceed with building barriers. We have an Organization Called the u. S. Army corps of engineers. They can be tasked to build barriers. Tucker well, i thought they were for flood control. They have all sort of missions inside the united states. But army forces are engineers. Brigades of engineers that can be put to work on the border and build barriers. He doesnt need special permission. He has the Constitutional Authority to act as the commanderinchief. He doesnt need any help from congress at all. So this is a National Emergency. Let there be no doubt about it. Tucker you are confusing me. I live here. It was my understanding that the point of the u. S. Army forces was to guarantee the sovereignty of countries we will never visit and candid cant spell. Sovereignty for lebanon for example. Is that not the case . Good news, we have thousands of soldiers, sergeants, lieutenants, captains, lieutenant colonels, majors who guard and secured other peoples borders so they know exactly how to do this. All we are trying to do is defend our own border. When you defend it, you defend it. If someone tries to cross the border illegally, you stop them. Once you stop them, you can biometrically tag them so you have them in a database and you turn them around and send them back. You tell them if you come back again, you will face prison time. You will be prosecuted for violating our laws. That is how you expel people. You dont just leave your borders open to say here is a camp, move into it while we decide what to do with you. The president can outline the legal restrictions in an executive order. He needs to do it as soon as possible. Tucker so this would not be the first time that the u. S. Military secured the u. S. Border . That is why we have a military. The army was there from 1846 to 1946. Tucker exactly. Why are the white house lawyers telling the president that he does not have the authority to do that . That is an easy answer. The president surrounded himself for the last two years with people who are there to subvert him. To obstruct his agenda. Everyone is there to tell him no. That is not an answer he should accept. He has the authority, he needs to act. I was glad to see he took the secretary of the army with him to visit the border when he went to texas. I hope the secretary of the army is thinking about this. That is his job. Does the secretary of the army have Constitutional Authority to make policy . No. But he has a constitutional obligation and mission to defend the borders of the united states. Tucker right. Colonel, thank you for that. Interesting. The president spent the last week depending the government power to have an armed squad squeeze you in the dead of night for the crime of alleged perjury. Roger stone was seized in Fort Lauderdale barefoot and he joins us to respond to the media glee in the face of his arrest. Thats after the break. Coaching means making tough choices. Jim youre in but when you have high Blood Pressure and need Cold Medicine that works fast, the choice is simple. Coricidin hbp is the 1 brand that gives powerful cold symptom relief without raising your Blood Pressure. Coricidin hbp. Tucker well, since the arrest of the Longtime Donald Trump adviser roger stone the press have rallied around those who arrested him and specific interpretation of events. They say it was justified for the f. B. I. To show up to overthrow a Central American country. Stone says he was upset by all that, he must be lying. F. B. I. Had information to he might try to destroy evidence. So they went in with an appropriate level of abremention. They had every reason to believe he would destroy evidence. He threatened witnesses or a witness. He was playing with the hardball facts. How does he differ from other people with a raid by the f. B. I. . Not that different. The guy spent the entire day in front of the news cameras. Clearly he was traumatized. Tucker who put that guy on tv . Its a disgrace. The former c. I. A. Director john brennan speaking of disgrace insinuated that stone was hannibal lector long lost cousin. Keeping with the procedures of the f. B. I. , they were conducting an arrest and executing search warrant. Lets not forget roger stone has fair amount of unstable activities and comments he made. Stealing someones dog. Telling someone prepare to die. This is not somebody to trifle with. Tucker trifle. Brennan who you saw talking once lied to the public, you me and the rest of us about killing civilians with drone bombs. But that is not a big deal. He still got a cable contract. What does roger stone have to say about the coverage of his arrest . Well ask him. He is on the set tonight. Roger stone, thank you for joining us. Are you under a gag order . No. The judge said today she is considering one. She asked for the government and the attorneys to submit thoughts about that. Im going to refrain from speaking about the specifics of the indictment because i addressed it in the extent im going to. Im interested in what happened here. One of my neighbors now signed sworn affidavit who was walking their dog. The cnn crew, the struck showed up half an hour or 35 mince before the f. B. I. I live on a dead end street. The street was sealed. They were allowed to stay in the position in front of my house. If i was dangerous, which is the premise of this raid, why were they allowed to stay within the danger zone . Why were they put in harms way . The idea im a flight risk is ridiculous. I dont have a valid passport. Although i support the Second Amendment i dont own a gun. There were no firearms in the house. I have been under investigation for two years. So what information did the f. B. I. Have i would destroy evidence . Why would i wait tucker i dont know. Brennan who is a liar, john brennan dog kidnapping. Ill address that at the appropriate time. That is not true. I have written on Animal Welfare rights for the daily caller and i worked hard to stop the government conducting inhumane scientific experiments on dogs and cats. Tucker when you are a dog lover of the first john brennan purgerred himself twice before that. The steele dicier and the fisa warrant Steele Dozier and the fisa warrant. And breaking in the computers to look into torture by the c. I. A. Tucker mislying about killing people with drones. But he is not prosecuted. Like mr. Comey, mr. Mccabe, rod rosenstein, mr. Wray. General clapper, of course, who said no, there is no metadata collection process. Then Hillary Clinton herself. All those people purgerred themselves but i purgerred themselves. Tucker ask about the day of the arrest, a week ago today. You said cnn was in the perimeter and that was a raid that must have been considered dangerous. There were automatic weapons. One had two side arm. A lot of guns. Why were they allowed to stay there . I dont know. I hope senator Lindsey Graham and the republicans would get to the bottom of it. I would like to know who signed off on the raid. The main reason that the gag order concerns me is because i need to be able to raise the money to mount a defense. Tucker right. They have unlimited taxpayers dollars. Three platoons of left wing Ivy League Lawyers to prosecute me. They have enormous amount of material in discovery we have to go through. Three terabyte according to the press relief. So unless they go to stonedefensefund. Com and i have a forum to promote it i dont tucker i dont understand. What grounds could they end your First Amendment rights . They gagged Paul Manafort in his trial. Because i would be prejudicing witnesses. Pardoning me. Id be prejudicing a jury. What was the purpose of the raid to poison the jury and hold me up as public enemy number one. Tucker to use cable news channel as a p. R. Operation to get their message out. If they gag you and take your First Amendment rights away, does it mean they are no longer allowed to leak to cnn against you . Its an interesting question. The purpose of the gag is so i dont poisoned a potential jury pool. They have poisoned the jury pool but comparing me to pablo escobar. Tucker its onesided. They can arrest you with the Armored Vehicles and the stun grenades and force you not to speak in public. But they can still say whatever they want about you to news organizations. And leak. I mean in two years of leaks as you know i was going to be arrested every over tuesday destroyed my business. The censorship of my show on info wars. And the censorship of my Facebook Page has hurt my book sales dramatically. Im a New York Times bestselling author. So this is part of the plan. Destroy you financially so like general flynn you have to plead guilty to something you didnt do. Tucker unbelievable. You are always welcome on the show, gag order or not. Thank you. Thank you. Tucker and former adviser to the Trump Campaign who spent time around the Mueller Investigation and joins us tonight. What is, michael caputo, the right course for some warped a gag order . It does seem strange in a country that when i grew up in bragged about what we said we thought was true but what happens if you say i have a First Amendment right to speak and im going to . If you are roger stone and that is the way you make your living in the madia, speaking about the current events, speaking about the investigations. You put a gag order on a guy, that is like telling Robert Mueller he is not allowed to investigate anymore. I mean you are going to cut back his ability to make enough money to pay his bills. Let alone pay his legal bills. This is a bit different than Paul Manafort. Manafort was not a media commentator. Manafort was a political consultant. Giving him a gag order didnt affect his ability to make a living. Roger stone is already broke because of the investigation. They have killed his ability to make a living as a consultant. All he has got is his media commentary. Now they are going to cut that back, too . Tucker it seems like fairness is the baseline that everybody wants or should want. So if you are telling a man you are no longer protected by the bill of rights and not allowed to speak in public. If you do, you will go to jail. Shouldnt anyone in the Mueller Office who leaks to the press about stone go to jail . No doubt. I think as well, lets not forget the leakers at the house of the Permanent Select Committee on intelligence, Senate Select committee on intelligence and the others leaking right and left, every day, all day long. Apart from roger stones testimony before the house were leaked, we know where the leaks are coming from. The great thing about this case, i hate to see him one of my best friends in front of a court and dragging these things out probably has to raise 50,000, 60,000 a month to keep up with the legal bills. But the one thing we get to see is shame shif chairman schiff and the representatives and the others leaking the information to the madia brought in front of the media brought in front of the jury in this case. And cross examined. Ill tell you this. Roger stone is one of my best friends, perhaps my best friend. I was his driver 30 years ago. I talk to him not every day, but every other day frequently for 35 years. I havent been able to speak to him since the moment of his arrest. Roger stones attorneys are taking a real hard look at what the judge is going to be upset about. Out of abundance of caution, none of us close to roger are speaking to him right now. Tucker be careful. Michael caputo, thank you very much. No kidding. Tucker nice to see you. Thank you. Tucker governor Ralph Northam of virginia has just released a video statement on twitter. In the video he makes it clear he will not resign from the office as a number of prominent democrats called on him to do and is determined to term out the full fouryear term. Many said he should resign over the nearbook photo yearbook photo where he is either dressed in the blackface or the klan hood. This candidate called his opponent in last years race a racist. Well, with more now apologizing for the cherokee tribe for taking a d. N. A. Test. The latest on politics is the politics of the moment. Is that good for the country . After the break. Well explain. Is tucker increasingly politics is not concern of fringe left. Politics that dominates the national conversation. Elizabeth warren apologizing today to Cherokee Nation for taking d. N. A. Test. That is not allowed anymore. Meanwhile ahead of issuing the Party Response to the state of the union address, the 2018 georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams written an essay demanding more identity politics in Miles Per Hour in american life.

Met with a russian lawyer in trump tower. The pivotal event of the last decade. Perhaps generation. Before and after that meeting, young mr. Trump made some phone calls, very suspicious phone calls. And all this assumed those phone calls were either to Vladimir Putin himself or to his father, the president. Donald trump jr. Talked to had a phone call and then made a phone call right after that to a blocked number. And then he called right back to a blocked number. So we know that this blocked number may very well be donald trump. Sandwich between those calls back and forth between john jr. Is a blocked call. And we wanted to know did that come from the president . Was the president involved in the planning or the approval of this meeting . So we said lets subpoena the phone records and find out. The timing right in the heat of this meeting makes it sound like he was calling somebody to report about the meeting and what was going on with it. Tucker blocked number. It can only be three things, the president , Vladimir Putin at the kremlin or his handler, somewhere in russia. Well it turns out it wasnt any of those things. It turns out that donald trump jr. Was calling a business associate. Oops . But dont let the facts induce any selfreflection. Please. Dan bongino is a former secret Service Agent author of spy gate attempt to sabotage donald j. Trump joins us tonight. If i goat a call from a blocked number you are saying its not necessarily the president . Tucker, lets be clear, there was never any evidence whatsoever that don jr. Called his father after this meeting. None. What you just played with adam schiff and i believe it was swalwell, that was nothing more than a conspiracy theory. This was another one of those, tucker, if true stories. You know, if true that don jr. Called it was never true. There was never a scintilla of evidence. Here is what is interesting, tucker. They seem so fascinated about the communications amongst don jr. After this Infamous Trump tower meeting, right . But what they wont tell you is what is already on the record is the two russians that showed up did have meetings after the don jr. Trump tower meeting. One of them met with fusion gps who prepared the notes and the other one went out to dinner with a lawyer who is a close friend to the clintons whose wife was a higher up in the clinton administration. But dont worry, nothing to see here, folks. Dont worry. Were only concerned about the blocked number phone call. Tucker how could a floor rid conspiracy nut, a russia truther wind up as the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee . How does that happen in a normal country . And, tucker, receive no serious push back. If you and i were to go on the air with a widely debunked, what you thought to be a fact that he called his dad and he didnt, its not in dispute anymore, we would never hear the end of it from anyone. Conspiracy theory. The title would be thrown out forever. This is now the fourth or fifth time we have seen a prominent democrat run with a debunked hoax antitrump story and, tucker, almost nothing happens to their reputations at all. Its brushed off like nothing ever happened. This was the key component to their whole collusion conspiracy. They met with these evil russians and then don jr. Talked to dad, except it didnt happen and the russians were connected to the clintons. Tucker let me ask you really quickly, news of the day Ralph Northam say he is not going it resign suggest he and his party are prochoice on planned. I couldnt run with it because i couldnt verify it people in the Democratic Party probably knew about it a long time ago if i had it in october. I can prove that. Tucker maybe can you come on next week and we can do a forensic reexamination of where it came from. Dan bongino, have the best weekend. Thank you. Good to see you, tucker. Tucker we hope you do too. We will be back monday night, the one after sunday at 8 00 p. M. The show that is the tuck smoktuckjudgejeanine pirro sitt. Have a great weekend.
