It was a long hearing covered breathlessly from media around. What did we learn . Pretty much what we already knew in november. Russia makes up stories, it was them who dreamed up that the moon landing was faked almost 60 years ago. No one doubts their capacity for mischief. But after months of probing, there is precisely zero evidence that the russians had any effect on election outcomes. That does not mean we did not learn anything. We did. Fbi director comey is obviously selective about which investigations he is willing to talk about. He confirmed that the bureau is investigating the Trump Campaign and at the same time he refused to say whether it is investigating felony leaking by government officials who destroyed general Michael Flynn. Im just asking you the american people, youve already assured them he take it very seriously. Can you assure them that it is going to be investigated. I cant but we seriously take classified investigations very seriously. Tucker we also learn something about director comeys political views. Asked about brexit, comey had this to say. Where they have a preference for candidate who had a preference for brexit . Yes. Tucker how can comey possibly know what the russian leadership believed about brexit . He couldnt without clairvoyant powers. Opposing the European Union is the same as being a russian stooge, that would be the implication. The current state of the democratic party. What is the political stage after hysteria but just before total loss of motor function and unconsciousness . That is what it was like for hours today. Our battleships werent sunk and our towers did not collapse on in 2011. There is a year we should mark on our calendars. It is still going on, it didnt end on election day. Tucker keep in mind, pearl harbor and 9 11 pulled this country into the world altering global wars that dragged on for years. Did he overstate . No, not according to his colleague. She described russians actions as an act of war. In terms of trying to understand this, i think of a spider web with a tarantula in the middle. And the tarantula in my view is Vladimir Putin. Who is entrapping many people to do his bidding and to engage with him. Tucker at [laughs] at [laughs] never mind dont actually catch their prey in a web. The number one super villain and almost certainly our next adversary on the battlefield. Texas got so worked up about this that he read the buzzfeed dos year like it was a real document. Although the hearings, at which he declared, we were attacked by russia. Thank you for joining us. We were attacked by russia. How do we respond . Do you think we should use longrange or shortrange icbms . We should expand the sanctions we have and continue to investigate what they did and today we learned from the fbi director contrary to what you said, there was new information that there are members of the trump team who are under terminal and counterintelligence investigations. Tucker i was aware of that that. Hold on, i want to take what you say seriously. I absolutely do. You said we were attacked by russia. That is not a small thing. An attack doesnt just invite a counterattack, it demands one. My question is, a Carrier Strike should they be mobilized immediately . Should we notify our european allies . What is our next step in our counter attack . It should not be a warmer embrace of russia the president clearly said he wanted to do. We should expand natos role, not contracted. We should talk tough with russia. We have a secretary of state who received a medal of friendship. Tucker i do not think they are a friend. I dont think anyone thinks that they are our friend. But we should talk tough in response to an act of war . I cant imagine a more irresponsible response to an act of war than talking tough. Expanding nato we need a real response, do you not agree . How can we do otherwise . Not every action requires a military response. There are cyber warfare as you can conduct. But tucker, take a step back. Never in the history of our elections has a country attacked us the way that russia has. It was an electronic attack. It was not by a bomb or through a missile or bullet. They attacked us and try to influence the outcome of our campaign. I will be the first to say they did not change any vote tallies. Tucker im taking you seriously. They attacked us and you say it does not require military defense. What counterattack is really necessary . What would that look like . Sanctions, nato, lets be real. We can squeeze their economy. Their economy is in a free fall. We should isolate russia from the rest of the world. Tucker will not hurt putin really badly . Will he run out of vodka or move into a hotel or something . Thats why we had a hearing today. When i go home and talk to our constituents, they want to know if we are going to do anything or if the next election will see two, three, four of our adversaries try to influence and get their preferred candidates . Tucker im speaking half and just because i think this description of this is hysterical. You are a sitting congressman, one of your colleagues is a senator calling it an act of war. The russians are listening to this, i dont know how you can describe something as an act of war and recommended in response to pitted moves like i dont know, sanctions. Really . Sean theres nothing we have more sacred than our democracy. Tucker you are saying this is war and you do want to do anything about it. I dont want to do what you want me to do. Tucker lets be really specific. What should we do . Im taking you seriously. Work with our allies in nato so they are also not as dependent on russia for the liquid, natural gas. One of the main sources for a lot of Eastern European russia is. Tucker so we should ship you just said you want to make europe less dependent on russian energy. We are the largest natural gas producer in the world. Are you for Gas Producers selling their gas in europe . Are you for that . I know the Natural Resource defense fund is against that. For helping our european allies tucker im laughing at your response. You are saying we should help europe become Energy Independent but we should not sell them natural gas customer of course we should. We should help others do the same. People at home, they take serious our elections. Republicans and democrats can go at it back and forth, but as an outside midler comes in, thats off limits. Both parties should say we will not tolerate it. Its an opportunity for republicans and democrats to unify and say never again will we allow ourselves to be in this mess. Tucker as soon as you define the effects of russian meddling, hacking, warmaking, whatever you are calling it, on our election, i think you will have a chance of bringing people to your side. You cannot provide an answer, though. I can. Russia sought to tear down Hillary Clinton and lift up donald trump. Our intelligence agencies have concluded that. I believe them, do you . Tucker i dont know, sometimes. I have a right to know more about how they reach their conclusions but they sort of missed 9 11 and the fall of the soviet union so i think its fair to be skeptical. Theres no counter evidence. Tucker you heard the fbi director today save that Vladimir Putin hated Hillary Clinton. Hated her. He personally hated her. Do you think he made that up . Tucker how would he know Something Like that . We dont even know ourselves. How would he know the innermost thoughts of why would he allege Something Like that . Because of intelligence reporting. Through electronic sources that are in the public report that the Intelligence Community put out. Tucker there is no indication of how we could note Vladimir Putins most innermost thoughts about Hillary Clinton. Should we trust the people who collect intelligence . Tucker declaring war against a sovereign country as you are attempting to do, we have a right to know on what basis you are doing that. If you are telling me you know what Vladimir Putin believes, i think its fair to ask, how the hill would you know that . The he said he hates her per. I asked for evidence, ive received it. Tucker on that very specific question . You were satisfied that he would know what Vladimir Putin felt . Are you further convinced that Vladimir Putin believed Hillary Clinton would lose . Yes, yes. Tucker so not only is Michael Flynn clairvoyant, Vladimir Putin is as well. Hes the only one in the world. The desired outcome was Hillary Clinton will go into the office so badly bruised. Tucker doesnt all of this undercut that theory . The effect is to badly undercut the administration of donald trump. If Hillary Clinton had one night, i would still tucker why would he be behind a gambit like this . This hurts trump, why would putin want to do that . He has a guy in there right now who wants to roll back sanctions. And reverse the role of nato. Tucker if he said i believe you, congressman, im going after russia with longrange bombers. I would say ratchet up the sanctions. Isolate russia. Make putin pay for this. In 2021, i dont want to be sitting with you and talking about a different country that has been attacking our election elections. Tucker thank you, congressman. President trump had a lot to say tonight during a rally in louisville. We go to Kristin Fisher who is in louisville. Nice to see you. Hey, this was quite a rally. President trump said multiple times tonight this place is packed. And it was. He started out with greatest hits, promises made and promises kept. The issue that started it all, building a border wall. To be a rich nation, we must also be a safe nation. Thats why im following through on my promise to secure, protect, and defend the borders of the United States. It that is what supporters here wanted to hear about, republicans on capitol hill wanted to hear about another campaign promise. Repealing and replacing obamacare. As we move toward the crucial houseboat on thursday, the seventh anniversary of obamacare is very painful passage this is our longawaited chance to finally get rid of obamacare. The longawaited chance, we are going to do it. Were going to do it. One of the hospitals biggest critics is rand paul, tonight, President Trump had this message for him. I happen to like a lot senator rand paul. I do. I do, i like him. Hes good. He is a good guy. And i look forward to working with him so we can get this bill passed in some form, so that we can pass massive tax reform. The key word there, pass in some form, leaving the door wide open to some big negotiations if and when that bill gets to the senate. The other big question heading into tonight is it does President Trump bring up the two big hearings today that happened on capitol hill . In the end, he only talked about one of them. Judge neil gorsuch, hearing is now underway in the senate. I urge members of both parties to swiftly approve his nomination. He is an outstanding man from an outstanding family with an unbelievably wonderful wife. President trump talked about the judge neil gorsuch hearing but no mention tonight of the bombshell testimony from fbi director james comey confirming it Ongoing Investigation on whether or not there was any collusion between the Trump Campaign and russia. Tucker in some form. The line of the night. In some form. Tucker fbi director comey is not the only big name to appear on the hill today. A confirmation hearing for judge neil gorsuch, a full 47 days after the president nominated him to the Supreme Court. A lot happened, for more in details we to trace gallagher. Hey, several Democratic Senators have already vowed to oppose neil gorsuch and block his nomination from coming to a final vote in their opening statement, they tried to tie gorsuch to President Trump billing him to a as a threa to workers and women. And brought up merrick garland. Obamas nominee. The senate sd nominated by a president who lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes. During their 10 minutes of opening statements, republican senators applauded neil gorsuch calling him an extraordinarily talented with the highest levels of professional qualification, including integrity, competence, and temperament. They left outpatient but that was evident by the three hours gorsuch waited to speak on his own behal i have ruled for disad students, prisoners, the accuse accused. Undocumented immigrants. Sometimes i ruled against such persons. The showdown begins as democrats get their first chance to question judge gore such, Chuck Grassley was a Committee Vote on gorsuch by april 3rd in the full vote in the senate later that same week. Tucker trace gallagher. Thank you. National Communications Director for the working families party, a progressive third party hostile to the nomination of judge gorsuch. He joins us now. Thank you for coming on. Thank you so much for having me on tonight, thank you for something you said last week. You and i may not agree on a tremendous amount but last week you were interviewing trump about the health care bill, and you pointed out that if centerpiece was a massive tax cut for investors, the other side of the coin was millions of people who are going to actually lose their health care coverage. Tucker i dont know if the tax cut is the centerpiece. It certainly component. Is an odd place to put the tax credit in my view. Tucker i appreciate that, joe. Let me ask you about the judge here. Let me tell you why a bring up the meat of what i want to talk to, the Supreme Court nomination. I am sure you do not agree with a lot of the beliefs the judge has but the core question is, can he interpret the constitution faithfully . Im figuringly your problem is with this guy. Heres a letter that you sent to democratic members of the senate. You said he has an extreme ideological agenda supported by some of the most dangerous ultraconservative and White Nationalist groups. What does that even mean . I think this means that neil gorsuch is someone who is shown through his long record that every act he has taken, whenever given the chance between siding with a corporation or a workingclass person, every single time he has picked the other side than i wouldve picked. I dont know if youre following tucker so you are saying white supremacist organizations. He have every right to disagree with his decisions but you are trying to tar him with the brush of White Supremacy and my question is, on the basis of what evidence did you say that . Gorsuch trump has this muslim ban he is trying to pass, it has been swatted down by judges twice. One justice away from someone who would overrule those Lower Court Decisions and make a muslim ban the law of america. I thought america with the land that believed in religious freedom for all people and i have not heard gorsuch forcefully denounce a muslim ban. Tucker [laughs] because gorsuch has not come out during the nomination process i think is what you are saying during his own nomination process and attacked trumps travel ban, you call him a white supremacist . Thats so unfair, its hard to believe youre actually saying that. Its one of the core questions of Public Policy right now, whether or not our country is one that has a place for people of all religions or whether trumka be allowed to pass a band. Tucker he began four days of his hearings where he could be asked that, by the way, a Supreme Court justice job is not to formulate Public Policy, is to interpret the constitution. And determine whether it is constitutional or not. And he has fallen way short of the standard of saying tucker you tried to tie him to white supremacists. I just want you to that is an unfair thing to say and you should not think things like that unless you have reasons for saying that. Denouncing trumps muslim ban becomes close to that line. Tucker is that the standard. There are a lot of problems with the nomination of gorsuch. Tucker you said something appalling and unfair. Lets move on. Tucker i think our viewers understand and you understand that something thats indefensible and you should concede it. Your point is that he is against working people. Right . Choosing between corporations and a working person, he chooses the wrong side. This case he was a judge on with a truck driver, going through illinois a truck driver had to pull over and the brakes on his trailer were frozen on a freezing cold subzero day. To protect his own safety and maybe even save his life, he disconnected his trailer, drove away to safety. In the end, his employers fired him for doing that. The court cited against the only way he could have protected his job was sit in a freezing cold subzero truck and risk his life. Tucker im not sure you understand what the Supreme Court is or how it works. I agree with you, every person watching, you should not be fired for leaving a freezing cold truck. Neil gorsuch does not agree with that. Tucker his job is to interpret the law as passed by the congress, not the court. If the actions are consistent with the law, theres nothing you can do about it. That is what the job is. Every time he is asked to make a decision, he always chooses the side of corporations. Tucker why are you complaining to your friends hey, pass a law protecting people whose trucks break down . The court sided
