tucker: wow. we are off into performance art. let me ask you a political question, maybe you will do better withtu that. maybe you will use the fax this time. tucker: i m starting to have my doubts. do you think that it is wise politics, the democrats did really well in the elections in virginia and new jersey, to lead with impeachment? the last time a party tried this was the republican party in 99, they impeached the president in 98 and in that midterm election they got pounded for doing it. do you it s smart for democrats to have their publicist, maxine waters, talking about impeachment? is that a wise thing? are you happy i m not? let me correct you on the facts, the last time the republican party led with us was when republican members of congress who advocated impeaching president obama over his birth certificate and many republican members of congress did that.em you don t have the democratic party leading with tucker: which republican member said? congressman bl
congressman blake. tucker: 1 out of 435, i don t even remember, was there another one? do i have to give you an exercise on how to use google? you can easily check the facts on your own, hopefully your viewers will too. maxine waters is not leading the democratic party on this issue. quite frankly, tucker: articles of impeachment were filed today in the house. i will a barrow where i m wl aware of it. what it does tell me is that the republican investigations that are going on in the special counsel investigations demonstrate that they are giving her good material to work with. tucker: one up to answer a question straightforwardly? just answer the question. you had steve cohen from memphis just today, today, said, and filed it officially, president ought to be impeached. i m not saying nancy pelosi told him to say that, she s probably constant. but there s a movement, a bunch of guys doing that, what you
given the size and amount of rain expected to fall. i hear 25 inches, maybe three feet in isolated areas, that can cause a great deal of problems, potentially deadly problems. that is a great deal of concern here from corpus christi to galveston, texas. clarissa? 25 inches. ed, thank you so much. within the hour, emergency officials may tell people that if they have not already evacuated, it s too late. their focus will have to be finding the safest possible shelter. federal emergency workers have begun off loading supplies in the past of the storm. bottled water and generators will be available in the aftermath of the hurricane. congressman blake represents most of the area. his district stretches along the texas coast from south of corpus christie to the coast.
memo. we haven t seen the memo yet, just to the extent it s relevant. nbc has also been told the same thing. alan? well, i just think it s a very, very high bar to get over obstruction of justice for a president who, in fact, is the head of the unitary executive branch that includes the fbi and the justice department. it s just a hard, hard barrier to overcome. it doesn t mean that the accumulation of circumstances and we re seeing them drip by drip now may not ultimately get us to that point, but we re not there yet. congressman blake, republican from texas serves on the house oversight committee, he joins us. sir, what can you add to this discussion tonight? you just met with the cia, you got a briefing. tell me what you can tell us. well, i can tell you that we ve got a situation now where a lot of stuff is coming from anonymous sources, the earlier stuff. obviously you ve got the alleged comey memo. but you ve got a media and folks
all right. obviously politics here front and center. is there any way to avert a shutdown? congressman blake, good to see you. i really appreciate you taking the time. you said you want to work the senate. in particular senator ted cruz to go ahead and get enough votes in the senate to get rid of obamacare. here is what some of your colleagues in the other chamber have said about the likelihood of that success. in the united states senate, we will not repeal or defund obamacare. we will not. the only effective way to truly stop obamacare, and i think we ought to do it. to stop it would be totally reverse it. we don t have the votes to do that. you really think you can get enough votes to do this. you re confident in that? listen, anything is possible. you have to remember that the founding fathers set up a government where there are two chambers. in the congress. we ve passed and done our job in
