in fact, i think my passport has expired or will expire in a few days. tucker: that was roger stone on the show a few minutes ago. there is a lot going on today. he was, of course, arrested this morning, charged with seven felonies. let s set aside the validity of the charges against stone and the validity of the entire russian collusion narrative. we have a lot of time to debate both of those. what does the arrest of stone itself reveal? so a group of heavily armed agents, very heavily armed agents look at the tape stormed his house at the crack of dawn today, far from being a safety measure, doing that radically increased the risk that something would go wrong during the arrest and get someone hurt or even killed. it s happened a lot. stone said it best, if they wanted to arrest him theyo could have just asked. this morning at the crack of dawn, 29 fbi agents arrived at my home with 17 vehicles with their lights flashing, when they could have simply contacted my attorneys and
gear. tactical gloves, one agent carried two separate rifles in addition to his side arm. the man in front of him appeared to have a flash bang grenade on belt. the whole team scrambled over stone s lawn and pounded on door. stone appeared. he was barefoot and wearing a t-shirt. the agents slapped him in handcuffs. before they let them away to jail, stone told the ages that his wife was upstairs with their dogs. stone s wife is deaf and didn t understand what was happening. stone was worried that one in the men in tactical gearor might shoot her by accident. tragedies like that regularly occur during law enforcement raids and that s why federal agents don t raid the homes of people like roger stone. there is no need. stone has no history of violence. he doesn t run an international drug cartel. he hasn t been charged with murder or even with spying for vladimir putin. roger stone is accused of lying during the course of the russia investigation. under normal circumstances, during norma
it s not proven. it s one side of the story. not so skeptical anymore. yeah. that interview you had with telling. you brought up to pint to him and he seemed genuinely confused. you brought up this premise we are establishing the fact now with this case with stone that contact with allegedly unsavory individuals with potentially foreign intelligence ties is a big deal, right? we can all agree, point stipulated. if that is a big deal, then how is it that the clinton team that has already admitted that some of their people went out and dealt with foreign intel people in sworn depositions, how is this not a big deal for them, too? but the press and the media seems entirely unskeptical about this at all. they were more concerned this morning about the story how they beat everybody to the punch and made it to stone s house other than the basic facts of this case, which don t seem to be applying blind justice to both sides. tucker: what i don t understand is how you. could look at that t
accused stone of a crime for which he was not accuseded or charged by the prosecutors to the extent of the indictment. no, he was charged with obstruction of justice and witness tampering. i m going to wait and see what the evidence is. i don t wish anyone ill will. tucker: we ll be waiting. i will probably be in prison by then. scandals in his life. tucker: people with scandalous pasts are guilty. we know that.as this is not mccarthyism, it s very different. chris, thank you so much. w he will do anything to win. tucker: he is a bad guy. is he immoral. all right. thank you so much. well, the president has cut a deal with democrats t to reopen the federal government. what is in that deal, exactly? we have taken a close look and we will tell you what we have found after the break.
randy credico was the source who told me the material was significant, dynamite, a bombshell and so on, and that it would be released in october.t there is also, i think, a reference to dr. corsi in here. dr. jerome corsi, who told me in an interview when he was in italy august 2nd that the wikileaks disclosure would come thereafter and one immediately after that in august. that all turned out to be incorrect. so there is no evidence that i received anything whatsoever from wikileaks, that i knew the subject oror the content of this material. this is being used to silence me. tucker: that allegation is not even in here. the allegation, as far as i can tell from reading it, is that you lied to this congressional committee. have you spoken to the president about this? i have not. but, again, if you watch cnn or msnbc, you wouldn t know that because they act as if stone acted as the conduit between the trump campaign and wikileaks or between donald trump and wikileaks. when the pres
