Hey, man. Its a big nothing burger. Really . Why is cnn constantly, like, russia, this, russia, that rate ratings. Tucker before we continue, that he be just as a little creepy. Privacy is vital to the functioning of our society, not to mention to Human Happiness come itself. Unfortunately, it appears to be disappearing in this country thanks to the digital resolutio resolution. Also, by all accounts, or for whatever its worth, van jones is apparently a nice guy. Everyone who knows him says so. That said, how wonderfully revealing this exchange is. The russia story is a nothing burger . We knew that. If only they admitted as much on cnn. But in private, they know it, too. He remembered the tape released just yesterday in which a scene and producers conceded that his boss, jeff zucker, demanded that cnn chose to drop actual News Coverage and are there is been much more time on the russia conspiracy, since that story line makes more money for the network . It is, as corrupt as you imagin
What they found out, let them explain what happened next. Posted an apology after cnn identified and tried to contact him. He apologized for some of his other posts that were racist and antisemitic. Cnn is not publishing the users name because of his apology, his removal of all the offensive posts, and his pledge not to repeat this behavior on social media. Tucker there is a lot to unpack here. First, one of the biggest News Organizations in the world spend a ton of money and a ton of time trying to find out who made this video. You probably do not care who made it because why would you care . Some dude on the internet is not that important. But cnn felt it was vital. Why did they feel that way . In politics, all of this narrative response, even if it was a joke. Whatever it takes to beat your opponent, in this case, trump, is worth doing. This is often research opposing his him. Then there is this guy, his name, cnn is keeping it secret. Where are they doing that . The adjuster them e
These emails are a textbook example and evidence of criminal intent. That is potentially a violation of the espionage act. Treason. Tucker yes, the espionage act. The very one that sent julius and Ethel Rosenberg to the electric chair. They stole the plans to the atomic bomb. Donald trump talk to an attorney about adoption law. Both massive threats to the physical and moral security of this country. Cnn thought so. Its three hour morning show spent a total of two hours and 16 minutes discussing russia today. That left just under 8 minutes for the new Health Care Bill being debated in congress and 2 minutes for sports. Pretty much nothing on anything else. 93 of air time devoted to russia. Keep in mind, that show was shot in new york, not in st. Petersburg. Mark stein is an author and a columnist, and also canadian, so he knows what a moral frenzy looks like. He joins us tonight but mark, ive never seen she wouldve thought somebody lit a cigarette in a restaurant forgot to recycle. That
Maintain our borders. Hours away from a Government Shutdown. Ed henry has the latest. The house passed a bill to keep the government open until february 16th. The senate will vote in just about 2 hours. The latest vote suggests that would fail. That would mean the first Government Shutdown since 2013. The last thing President Trump wants is to mark his first year in office this weekend with a Government Shutdown. There is a feeling among some of the president s top advisors at the white house tonight that maybe Chuck Schumer the Senate Democratic leader overplayed his hand making this all about daca and falling into a narrative to save 800,000 young people who were brought to the country illegally, he is willing to shut the government down. Thats why the president and his aides tried to brand this as the schumer shutdown. Something that is taking hold on social media tonight. Particularly the president tried to show he is taking charge by summoning schumer over to the oval office this
