to fight back against the fringes of the right who just want to move the story away from what it should really be. it goes without saying cnn decides. they decide what the story should really be, and if you don t agree, you are on the fringes of the right. in other words, shut up, you guys. stop asking questions we don t feel like answering. but the show persisted because it s our job. we asked cnn s official spokesman and the kid that you stop playing media reporter a very subtle question. did mueller s office help you with your story? the response of course, feigned outrage. how dare you? you are right wing. be quiet. but when we kept pressing them, an interesting thing happened. they didn t deny it. to be totally clear, here s the specific question that we asked. in federal law enforcement officials confirm the raid on roger stone s house to cnn before it happened? very simple question.
tucker: i saw the tape that they set up with cnn. they were heavily armed people. tucker: why would you need an automatic weapon to arrest roger stone? i don t know that mueller is the one who says how this many people as opposed to two or three. secondly, i think mueller is probably sick of what he got from paul manafort which is attempts to destroy evidence ang obstruct justice and change m people s testimony. he saw evidence that roger stone was doing the exact same thing. that s where he said i ve had it. tucker: is it the prosecutor s job to punish people preemptively? make sure they don t dodo it again. tucker: intimidate and frighten so they obey. freeze him so he can do d tucker: they brought him in and they let him out on bail in 10 minutes. they did this to scare the crap out of him and tell the rest of us if you disobey this unelected god figure whose power is uncontested by anybody, then we re going to hurt you. he s not elected. he s a republican. t
team? cnn reacted angrily to the question. we are reporters, they said. we are not state media. we didn t collude with the feds. we used reporters intuition. yesterday cnn president jeff stocker dispatched his minions to bat down further questions on the topic. speak on the fringes of the right, a conspiracy theory spread and it was about cnn and robert mueller. that we were tipped off by mueller. to embarrass roger stone and record his arrest. they are saying that it s propaganda. a lot of people, including some mainstream commentators and journalists, started asking questions about this conspiracy theory. as journalists, we have to be very careful not to allow bad-faith actors to hijack the conversation move the story away from what it really should be. tucker: [laughs] save that tape. it s one for the ages. it summarizes everything. just to recap what you just heard. we journalists, says cnn, need
revenge politics, hillary clinton may be considering running again. cnn is reporting that clinton has told people she s not closing the doors to the idea of running in 2020 but there are other reports that say that that report is not true. so it s still a long shot but tucker, i think it is safe to say that president trump wouldn t mind running against her again in 2020. tucker: that would be a remarkable race. we would cover that gladly. kristin fisher, thank you very much. author and columnist mark steyn has spent endless hours of the dog track and always went so he s a perfectly handicap all political races, including this one. mark, great to see you. bad mechanical hair is not going to run. we are not going to be see third hillary clinton term. tucker: who jumps out? does anyone jump out is interesting, as saying something unexpected. may be the trump of the cycle on the left.
