they choose different corporate tax they do all of this other stuff that is not toductive trying to get around taxes. when we lower that tax rate, they won t shelter theirt income as much anymore. there will be far less tax evasion, they won t choose these forms, companies will come back and you will see tax revenues rise dramatically over the next ten years. i m estimating that this will raise somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.3 trillion net, which will allow us to do all sorts of other things for o the rest of the country, especially the middle class. tucker: i hope that s true. i m rooting for that. i have to say. thank you.ha thank s you. tucker: great to see you. is this the end of the weinstein company? new information on today s board meeting, apparently harveynd weinstein was there. details next. stare with me into the abyss
is all developing and it s sort of unbelievable with each new thing we learn, so there s a very real sort of feeling where this might get to the point where someone who is representing weinstein will get charged. tucker: that would not surprise me at all. thanks for that. thanks for having me. tucker: a new report says that the fbi has uncovered evidence of a major russian bribery effort just before the obama administration s approval of a deal back in 2010 that gave russia control over large amounts of american uranium. why would the obama administration gave russia control of that? great question. to answer that and others, with invited chief national correspondent ed henry, who has the very latest. good to see you. major exclusive from the newspaper because it s raising new questions about just what kind of relationship the obamas and the clintons had with russia amid all these other investigations going on right now here in washington about the trump campaign and alleged ru
they get applauded across the spectrum because people are so giddy and eager to hear more about this russia and trump story and one their stories get completely debunked it just kind of everybody agrees to ignore it and everyone moves on and they pay no price. at the same time, they are feeling and pleasing their sources by publishing the sources that the sources want them to publish. there s huge amounts of career benefits and reputational benefits and very little cost when they publish stories that end up being debunked because the narrative they are serving is a popular one, at least within their peer circles. tucker: gosh, that is so dishonest. i think all of in journalism have gotten things wrong, i certainly have. a if you feel bad about it, you really do and there s a consequence. do you really think there s that level of dishonesty in the american press? i think what it is more than dishonesty is a really warped incentive scheme bolstered by this very severe groupthink th
aggressively pursued a producer on one of his shows, the mist on spike tv. took her to dinner and then afterward suggested he go to his hotel room. she claims that she very firmly denied this offer. she said she only wanted a professional relationship. he still allegedly pursued this relationship. after three months she claims she had to get her lawyer to contact the weinstein company and ask them to have him stop. tucker: that s a bad sign when a lawyer gets involved. what s the claim count on the story so far? do you have any sense of how many women have come forward? it has really gotten out of control at this point but we do know for sure at this point that the number of women making allegations of assault and/or harassment is over 50 right now. tucker: over 50. does each one represent a legal action do you think? it depends on the state. in new york there are currently probes into two allegations of sexual assault against mr. weinstein. one of the women who shared their
her stories in the new yorker and another woman whose identity we do not know. tucker: those are criminal probes by the state? yes. tucker: so harvey weinstein is, or is no longer affiliated with this company? this is where it s tricky. after all this talk of him really wanting to go in and fight for his position, we learned that he resigned, but he does still have a 23% stake in the company. it remains to be seen what s going to happen. many directors and actors have been very firm about the fact they have no desire to work with him so if the company is going to be bought, he would have to be bought out by whoever decides to come in because anything that will profit him. tucker: when this broke, lisa bloom was center stage representing harvey weinstein and basically making assurances that everything is fine, it s cool. when it got out of control she fled the scene. has she reemerged? have you seen her recently, or is she in hiding? she actually was with blac chyna, one o
