Some folks of the white house tonight. They are very troubled, obviously, that the story got out. They are trying to figure out how it got out, how all of this happened. It was a very small circle, tucker. You had the principles, the president , secretary of state rex tillerson, h. R. Mcmaster, there were National Security advisor, the deputy National Security advisor for strategy, dina powell, then, a handful of aids in the oval office, as well on the russian side. You had to the Foreign Ministers foreign minister sergey lavrov, the Russian Ambassador to the United States, sergey kislyak. They would have had some people there, as well. The Washington Post in breaking the story is quoting current and former u. S. Officials. So, somebody dished the contents of that meeting. What happens in terms of this intelligence to current and u. S. Officials. We dont know what the actual content of this was. But it it is said to be dealing with intelligence regarding with threats to our security, particularity, threats to our airlines. This may be relevant to the stories we have been telling you about laptops being banned on airplanes coming to the United States from the middle east and now europe. We have a number of statements that we have received from the white house dressed in the last few minutes. First of all, from rocks with tillerson, secretary of state, during President Trumps meetings, a broad range of subjects were suggest. They did not discussed sources, methods, or military operations. The statement row from h. R. Mcmaster, who is a National Security advisor, when he came out to stakeout just a few minutes ago, and read this and then did not take any questions. Lets watch here. There is nothing of the president takes more seriously than the security of the american people. The story that came out tonight as reported is false. The president and the foreign minister reviewed a range of common threats to our two countries, including threats to civil aviation. At no time, at no time, were intelligent sources or methods discussed creative and the president did not disclose any military operations that were publicly known. Two other senior officials that were present, including the secretary of state, remember the beating the same way and have said so. They are on the record and should outweigh the cons of anonymous sources. I was in the room. It didnt happen. Thanks, everybody. Thanks. Tucker h. R. Mcmaster sing te president did not inappropriately leaked classified information. Dont forget, tucker, when you are the president , you are allowed to release anything you want. The reaction in the white house, somewhat shocked. Talking with an Administration Official that told me that the fact that someone would like this is astonishing, shows an extraordinary lack of concern for National Security. I am not sure how much more we will find out this evening. The communication shop has that they are done talking about this. Because this information was classified, tucker, its not known how much level of detail well be able to get on all of this. Well keep plugging away. Tucker. Tucker thanks a lot, john. Its almost like they are people in washington who like to undermine the relationship between u. S. And russia. Back to the question of hysteria. Critics of the media often say that donald trump is to administering the american partisan sea and a time there is truth to that. But it is also true that in covering trump the way that they have, many journalists have degraded and humiliated themselves. Their callous examples of this but watch this one, as a maker from another network describes a conversation she had last year with Kellyanne Conway. This is a woman, by the way, who came on our show during the campaign, and what a shell for trump, and extensive fashion, then, she would get off the air, the camera would be turned off, the microphones taken off, and she would say, i need to take a shower. Because she disliked her candidate so much. Tucker i have no idea if Kellyanne Conway actually said anything like that. I do know that tv anchors almost never reveal what their gas have set off camera and for good reason. People come to tv studios so they can speak on tv. They do not come to the expectation that the private conversations will be broadcast to the country, especially when they are not present to defend themselves. In the more than 20 years of working to become i have never seen that happen, trust me, ive heard a lot of weird things on and off the air. Television networks dont have his and dumb i can in a bathroom for the same reason. Even in media, there is privacy, those are the rules, or they were the rules, that was before nbc videotape donald trump without his knowledge and then leaked that tape 11 years later to the Washington Post in an effort to destroy his president ial campaign. That was not news coverage. It was political activism committed by news outlets. But none of the usual media watchdog types said a word about it. Then or now because of trump, all bets are off. Many journalists believe it is literally impossible to be unfair to donald trump or the people who work for him. Extremism in the pursuit of trump is no vice. That is the view in newsrooms. You hear tim conversations all around washington. A city devoted 91 for Hillary Clinton last fall, media figures, smart people, people who had perspective, they dont anymore. They have succumbed to trump hatred that is so intense, it has destroyed their judgment and in some cases, affected their character. I see it all the time, normal people see the president s flaws and they do exist, they see crimes and conspiracies. The rest of us may complain that trump is on dumb like undisciplined and impulsive, fair. They regard him as a single greatest threat to westerns of levitt dacians sends atomic weapons. Watch. I think this is a potentially marcy dangerous situation on watergate. There is a coverup going on on to keep us from going numb back knowing what happened here. Tucker a coverup of what exactly . That part is often alleged but never explained because it is not necessary to explain it. The speaker isnt offering analysis, he is preaching to those who are already converted. His listeners already know that donald trump are evil. They dont need details, they want a sermon. Instruments are mostly what they are getting these days. Donald trump, and much of his rhetoric, and many of his actions, poses a danger to american democracy. Tucker wait, did you say democracy . What with these people know about democracy . Is under the same group that calls on the Republican Party tf his nomination of the g. O. P. Convention . I think it is. The same one that calls for the presidency to be taken from trump at the Electoral College before his inauguration . Even as they call for trumps removal from office, just four months of his job, democracy, what you are looking at is a kind of conflict of interest. We dont allow reporters to cover their spouses or kids. Why dont we . Because they wouldnt be able to see clearly. Their emotions what cloud their judgment. They are level given the way a fair coverage. Hate has the same effect on people. It destroys your view of reality. In the end, it blinds you completely. That is where the American Media are right now, stumbling around in a sightless rage, screaming. Somebody ought to reel them in before they hurt themselves in ways that cant be fixed. Byron york has been around for a long time. He is the chief Political Correspondent for the the Washington Examiner and he joins us. Byron, i am not defending the president in noting that something in the coverage of him is different than i have seen in 30 years and it is bad. And the Mika BrzezinskiKellyanne Conway think im i think it is a special case. There is a drama that has gone on between joe and mika, kind of a codependent relationship, msnbc, that program at least, was quite positive to donald trump for quite a while, then, they got really down on him but it has gone back and forth. Tucker all the times ive had someone sit on the side, we have seen it a million times, a democratic member of congress Say Something nasty about his party or give a nuanced view of something, i would never even consider revealing that on the air because it is a private conversation. In a larger sense, i do think there was a realization, as trump neared the nomination last year, and it became clear that he was not going to go away come i think there was a realization that among some of the press, they thought that the threat that trump presented was so severe, so dire, that they needed to change the way did business. People in the press spoke openly, the New York Times said that we will call out the lies. Indeed, he began to see the word lies and false and falsely claimed to not kind of stuff anf new stories, that you had not seen before. They felt it was important to change the way they operated to some of the standards that they observed for many, many years. Tucker some of those standards are immutable. It doesnt matter who you are covering. You are assigned to cover idi amin, you still have to be fair, you have to tell the truth, you cant ally in the service of a political agenda, period, or you are not a jural analysis. Why dont they pull themselves out of the game when they cant be fair . Let me give you an example of a spreading further than just journalism, it touches on journalism. In 1964, Barry Goldwater running for president , a magazine published an article which are number of psychiatrists said that he was a psychologically ue president. After the election, goldwater sues for libel and wins. Something called the goldwater rule emerges in the psychiatric perfection, which is, you dont pronounce on the mental connection of a person you have not examined. Tucker [laughs] go to call. That goldwater role stays in effect for 50 years until now. And now, you are seeing psychiatrists, psychologists all over the place, talking about donald trump. This is from an article in the new yorker just recently, said, with regard to trump, however, the goldwater role has been broken repeatedly, more than 50,000 Mental Health professionals have signed a petition stating that trump is too seriously mentally ill to perform the duties of president. Tucker there is something about this president that brings out the worst in his enemies. Heres the the fundamental question, though. Is not simply a matter of being blinded to trump and hating so trump that you cant cover him fairly, though that is happening. They have suspended judgment on the other side because they just like trump so much they are withholding any kind of tough coverage on his opponents come on the left, and that is just lying. It is. There is no doubt about it. First of all, trump is the biggest story, there is no doubt that donald trump is the biggest story, hes president of the United States, the president is always the biggest story. But i think what has happen, the white house has come to eat all of their news coverage. And we arent seeing very much on the opposition. There is a belief, i think, you see this sometimes, if trump says it, its wrong, and of people who are calling him on him are criticizing him are therefore right. Tucker that is the assumption and it is really distorting all of us. Is destroying our media. Byron, thanks a lot for coming on. Thanks, tucker. Tucker the most irate elements of the left seem to have moved from protesting to rioting, to violence, Political Violence. Up next, we will ask the leader of the antitrappers instance by some on the left are embracing violence and why no one is saying that.

Tucker for decades, americans have viewed Political Violence is the kind of thing that troubles other countries, sadly, but thankfully, not our own. That is not the case anymore. Across america, the diehard antitrumpers instance has repeatedly embraced violence as a means of expressing their rage. Light it up [bleep] move in this direction [bleep] [chanting] [whistle blowing] tucker kevin zs is the codirector of popular resistance, a the aim of making this country ungovernable, until President Trump leaves office. He joins us tonight. Thanks for coming on. So, what is your home address . 402 402 lake avenue in balt. Tucker how would you feel if viewers who disagreed with what you said showed up at your house and started screaming at your kids. I dont have any kids but they would be targeting the wrong person. Im not a public official, i am not putting in place our proposals for changes in law, that creamer has former employees. Tucker i should say the reason im asking the question, what you alluded to, the fcc commissioner who is backing policies that you disagree witht they hassle his family. His house is off the road behind another house and we were standing outside in a public sidewalk, holding signs, saying support Net Neutrality. We were not threatening anybody coast be what im not saying that you did anything illegal. I am saying is awful. Its not awful. We did the same thing to tom wheeler when he was the fcc chair. It helped to finally convince them to do the right thing. Tucker because you are threatening at home. Why not go to his office . Why not write a piece for the New York Times . Why not come out on this show . Because he is not listening to us. He is making the decision. He will repeal hundred neutrality. They will let comcast you just agree with the policy. I disagree with the approach. He is our decided the issue. Tucker how do you know . Because he said it. He made public speeches. Tucker hes got opinions, youve got opinions. The point is, you were going to his house come about as a threat. He is no longer a verizon lawyer. Tucker i am not here to defend his views of network neutrality. I am here to defend that you can have a reasonable conversation without threatening someone. The reason i will go to his house is because he does not listen to people. Tucker why do you represent the people more than he does . He has more comments ever then in the last campaign, on the fcc camped on my comp and page, when tom wheeler didnt listen to those people, we want to his house, too. Tucker his candidate won a president ial election, are you kidding me . It doesnt matter. Tucker how does our system. It requires a legislative process in order to make decisions. You have to evaluate the comments fairly, you cant have a biased opinion. He is still acting like a verizon lawyer. We want him to hear us. Tucker why not just his him in the face . That is not going to work played tucker if it did work, what do . We want him to hear us. We want him to hear us and we want the movement to build. The movement didnt build, i dont think violence will be an effective tactic tucker it is implied violence when you show up at someones house. Its a threat. Be intentionally made no threats. Tucker when your side of the issue of smashing store windows, dressed in masks, hurting other people, i dont understand your lawyer, you are a reasonable guy, why dont you stand up and say that you are discrediting me . What you are doing is immoral. Nobody ever said that because you agree with their aims. We understand people have diffen and their choices tucker is not a legitimate tactic . In my view, our goal tucker look at what is on the screen. You dont build a ms movement tucker is not a legitimate tactic to smash windows . That people who organize. Tucker there is time worries using violence im asking you a philosophical question. I cant ask answer any question when vi
