We are not quite sure because testing in this country is so minimal. New yorks Nassau County meanwhile, 83 people are being monitored for possibly carrying the disease. If Governor Andrew Cuomo has freed up 43 million in emergency funds for that. A few moments ago, the president held a News Conference about the coronavirus. He said the situation in this country is under control. Speak of the is coming along well and in speaking to the doctors, we think this is something that we can develop fairly rapidly vaccine. The United States is now we are rated number one. We are rated number one for being prepared. This is a list of Different Countries i dont want to get in your way. We are not going to loosen the travel restrictions, thats what saved us. Had i not been mike alluded to it, had i not made my decision very early on not to take people from a certain area we wouldnt be talking this way, we be talked about many more people would have been infected. I took a lot of heat. Some people call me racist because i made a decision so early. And we had never done that as a country before, let alone early. So it was a bold decision, it turned out to be a good decision. Tucker during that News Conference, the president announced to his putting his Vice President , mike pence, in charge of this potential crisis. So the headline tonight is the coronavirus is coming in some small way at the very least, its already here. What does it mean for us in the United States . Fox news medical contributor mark. Dr. Marc siegel is in omaha, hes been in there for a couple days, more than a dozen cases were sent to omaha for quarantine and monitoring. Doctor, thanks so much for coming on from omaha. Hi, tucker. Tucker how do you assess what the president said and put this news, if you would, from california, into context for us. I think we are concerned now about entering another phase of Community Spread here in the United States, as you said. We have some concern about it but i also its a growing war in the country, but i also want to offer it some comfort tonight because im standing outside the Global Center for Health Security at the university of Nebraska Medical Center. Weve been here for two days, as you said, and the doctors here, the nurses here, even the patients here are playing the role of investigating this virus. We found out its more contagious than the flu we think. We found out how its spreading. Find out that these patients are responding to treatments, theres no antiviral drug appears to have some benefit to it. And these doctors and nurses are leaders around the country. You know what they are doing . Theyre getting on the phone, theyre getting on conference calls, and teaching the Medical Centers around the country how to deal with an upcoming quarantine situation. Take a look. I was not frightened until yesterday. This footage is from inside the coronavirus quarantine unit at the Nebraska Medical Center in omaha. So this is my room and the quarantine. This hospital is at the very nucleus of the american effort to defeat the disease. They just started Clinical Trials for an antiviral medication. We spoke to dr. Andre kalil, who is running the trials, and hes optimistic. I think that the data that we have available suggests its promising. Late last night, the 15th patient arrived in the quarantine unit. We saw the patient coming in from sacramento. Coronavirus. Some of the best physicians in the country are right inside your trying to figure out what the coronavirus is and how to treat it. If the coronavirus spreads around the country, are you going to be able to teach other Medical Centers around the country . We are, and we have been for many years. Dr. Jeffrey gold is chancellor at the university of Nebraska Medical Center. Watch whats going on in singapore, and western europe, et cetera. If they cant contain the virus, i would say we are next. Dr. Gold walked us to the building to the Quarantine Center where doctors seem to have things almost under control. These are the elevators that bring you down into the quarantine unit where the patients are being kept. In another part of the Medical Center we went to the entrance of the bio containment unit were coronavirus patients go if they are in serious condition. This is the main entrance to the unit. Comanager of the bio containment unit. If the store is open, the door on the inside cannot open. The drug trial is happening inside, but most of the action or inaction is back in the quarantine unit where patients wait in solitude to see what the future holds. You know, im isolated and i have three people a day that come in at breakfast, lunch, and dinner and thats the only contact we have. Tucker, tonight, you saw on the piece, who i interviewed, the patient broke a tooth she couldnt get a dentist into help her fix it because of the quarantine. They had to send in mondo, tucker tucker. Back to you. Tucker amazing story. Dr. Siegel, thanks so much for that report from omaha tonight. As infections of coronavirus search around the globe for the first time, they are now more new cases outside of china then within it, thats of course if you believe the numbers from the Chinese Government. Should we believe those numbers . A gordon chang is the author of the coming collapse of china, he joins us tonight. Thanks so much for coming on. How would you assess the state of coronavirus in china right now . We dont know, tucker, because as you point out, the Chinese Government really has not been telling the truth. They say that the number of new infections has gone down, and that would be a great story, but unfortunately, it coincides with what xi jinping, the chinese ruler, wants to do. He wants chinas workers to go back to their job places, so im afraid that all these statistics showing a subsidence of company vid 19 are really meant to support this whole notion of getting china back to work. We should be very suspicious of those numbers. Tucker whats interesting, if you take a step back, is that the promise of globalism is that the world will cooperate, right . That we will all act together in concert for the benefit of everyone. All of a sudden, globalism seems like a weakness in the middle of a rising pandemic. Youre absolutely right. When you have globalism, when you have international commerce, when you have a lot of tourism, these diseases spread very quickly and one of the important things that the u. S. Date, the Trump Administration did, was at the end of january, to impose these travel restrictions in these quarantines, and thats the reason why we do not have an emergency situation in the United States today. If we had kept our borders open, and thats exactly what china wanted us to do, we would have a problem. As President Trump has said, he took a lot of heat from the chinese. They went after him every single day with propaganda asking him, demanding that he open the borders to the u. S. He didnt do it, and thats to the credit of the president of the United States. Tucker propaganda that many in our press corps repeated uncritically, its racist to close the borders, racist against china, one of the most racist countries in the world, by the way, but it was somehow racist of us to stop lights from china. What do you think the actual Economic Situation is like in china right now . I think the chinese economy is contracting. Oil demand is down 20 year on year. Theyve canceled a number of very important events including the canton fair, which was scheduled to be in april. We have seen maybe only a third, maybe 40 of chinas workers have actually returned to their jobs. Housing is at a standstill. On and on. Car sales for the first 16 days of this month were down 92 , so china is in contraction right now. Tucker and finally, are you satisfied that we know exactly where this virus came from . No. We dont. We have a lot of information which goes both ways, but the authoritative reduced medical journal said that many of the initial cases did not come from the wet market, and thats the predominant theory, that it started in the wet market. It also couldve started at that p for biosafety lab. Im not saying that thats the case, but you cant rule it out, because theres a lot of science right now that is casting doubt on this notion it came from the wet market. Tucker yet. This is the problem with global partnerships with countries you cant trust. You cant trust them. Gordon chang, thank you for that, good to see you tonight. Thanks, tucker. Tucker there was another democratic debate last night. The last democratic debate before the South Carolina primary this weekend and then super tuesday. So how do democrats feel after having watched it . Well, it turns out the world that keeps coming up again and again and again is nervous. Meaning panicked.

Tucker last nights Democratic Forum on cbs wasnt the final primary debate of the season, but its likely the last one that will matter. Between tonight and the nextba debate, a total of 21 states, andta that includes the biggest ones, california and texas, will hold their primaries. By then it will almost certainly be over. So you think the candidates would usete the time to talk abt things that voters care deeply about, and for a brief moment, one of them actually did that. D in his first answer, Bernie Sanders brought up wages. He said they ought to rise faster, which is true. How could we just possibly go up with the open borders sanders has demanding . Thats an unanswerable question, but at least he mentioned it, thats exactly what is the front runner. When you talk about things people care about, they respond. Michael bloomberg is not the front runner. Hed like to be. At one given his chance to speak, bloomberg went right to the issue he believed voters care about most, the fact that Bernie Sanders is a secret russian agent. Vladimir putin thinks that donald trump should be president of the United States come anda thats why russia is helping you get elected. It you lose to him. Tucker so thats what bloombergs consultants told him to say. The lesson here is obvious, go into political consulting, even dumb people get rich. At least one audience in america was powerfully moved bybl bloombergs attack, the other candidates. At the very mention of Vladimir Putin, the stage erupted. Suddenly the debate sounded like a radicalup book club from the 1970s. Old people yelling about the cold war. Russia, russia, russia pete buttigieg, who was 38 but seems at least a century older, jumped in with his theory. What trump and his paymaster Vladimir Putin actually want, explains the tiny robot from south bend, is political chaos. Buttigieg seems totally convinced that no one had ever said that before. By this point, the moderators at cvs just gave up. The chaos putin is hoping for a descendant the debate stage. Sanders decided it was the perfect opportunity to indulge his real passion, which is attacking america, a country he clearly hates. Herere he is explaining to the american criminal e justice sysm is actually more repressive and communist chinas. We have a criminal Justice System today that has not only broken it is racist, more people in jail than any other country on earth including china and one of the reasons for that is a horrific war on drugs. Tucker o oh, the war on drugs. It Bernie Sanders talks about that in every speech he gives. A declining country with a sad underemployed middleclass obviously needs to smoke a ton more weed. Thats bernies solution to the malays, fire up bubble, numb o out, maybe you wont notice. Fr wheres all this we going to come from . Bernie has a plan for that. Black people are going to sell it to you. No kidding. Watch this. And ill tell you what else we are going to do, were going to provide help to the africanamerican, latino, native American Community to start businesses to sell Legal Marijuana rather than let a few corporations control the legalized marijuana market. Tucker thats a real clip, by the way. So first they fill black neighborhoods with abortion clinics, now the front runner is encouraging more black kids to sell drugs. But somehow this is the party black america. It doesnt sound like it. But whatever. Joe biden changed the subject by making very loud noises. Biden has lost his ability to speak clearly, thats got to be frustrating for anyone. In bidens case, it led to a series of redirections. Watch. You talk about when were talking about with bernie. Bernie in fact hasnt passed much of anything. The fact of the matter is look. Look, the fact is im not a time, he spoke over time and im going to talk. R heres the deal. Heres the deal. The fact of the matter is, look at h whats happening here. Look at whats happening here. Tucker the crowd roared because screaming always elicits wars from crowds. Our animal brains at work. But for those who are trying to follow what biden was actually sane, deaf people for example, reading it at home on closed captions, it was a profoundly confusing moment. By the end, his train of thought didnt simply get lost, it hopped the tracks and became a fiery derailment plunging off the bridge into the gorge below. I would make it clear id make it clear to china, we are going to continue to move closer to make sure that we can, in fact, prevent china prevent north korea from launching missiles, to takeau them down ad if we dont why am i stopping . No one else stops. Tucker why am i stopping, he asks. Because disjointed sentenced fragments are counter productive in a president ial campaign. The good news is at least biden still knows a verbal culdesac when he gets one. A few months from now will be reciting Allen Ginsberg poems. Elizabeth warren was there too, shes not going to be president , thats a good thing, shes awful. Maybe the most unpleasant human being to ever run for president. Youd be in paraguay by the end of the first Elizabeth WarrenAdministration Just to stop the noise. Warren seems to know this, she can tell that she is doomed. If nothing else, shes not stupid, and shes decided to spend her remaining time destroying michael bloomberg. And really thats a nice way to go out, if you think about it, its a service to the country. Unfortunately, last time it didnt work. Instead, warren just humiliated herself. I was visibly pregnant. The principal wished me luck and gave my job to someone else. Pregnancy discrimination, you bet. But i was 21 years old, i didnt have a union to protect me and i didnt have any federal law on my side. So i packed up my stuff and i went home. At least i didnt have a boss who said to me kill it the way that mayor bloomberg is alleged to have said to one of his pregnant employees. Tucker wait a second. We have news emerging. Did you just hear Elizabeth Warren say there are w circumstances in which encouraging abortion might be wrong . Wow. Dont tell planned parenthood, shell lose her funding. Meanwhile, her story abouter her own pregnancy, the one you just heard, could have beento the mot depressing moment of money. The story is a lie, everyone knows it is. Its been conclusively debunked by her on tape, but warren keeps telling the story anyway with exactly the same inflections and pauses and hand gestures. Keep in mind, this is a person who was once a tenured harvard law professor. She wrote a genuinely good book at one point. People respected her. Now . Well, now warren is up there degrading herself with some transparent whopper designed to show you how impressed she is. By the time this was over, warren will be Hillary Clinton, pacing her backyard with a bottle of wine and sending bitter tweets about trumpet midnight. No normal person will have lunch with her after this. Its pathetic and sad, but its not just her, its universal this year. Everyone in the democratic field has been greatly diminished by this. And its not because theyre all dead people. Not all of them are bad people. Its because their ideas are absurd. Dana perino hosts the Daily Briefing and cohosts the five. She is one of the experts on whats going to happen. That was a good runn there. That was a good run, i loved all that. Tucker i am confused after watching this by the way, im enjoying it and i hope this goes on foreverr. Because its 12 das of christmas, but why are some of these candidates still in the race do you think . I think a couple of things, one, our Party Structure is no longer Strong Enough to try and out. The debate structures are terrible because what they basically done is giving you these thresholds to hit both in fundraising for how many donors yousi can get and then in the number the amount you can get in the polls, and that has not narrowed the field at all. The other thing thats quite interesting is that Elizabeth Warren was basically trying to do what Chris Christie did, which is he was taking out everybody else in that last debate instead of President Trump, who was the front runner. Elizabeth warren spent most of the night going after mayor bloomberg, who she seems to have such disdain for because he actually earned a penny and became a billionaire. Lots ofke pennies. My friend, who teaches at aca university him and hes not a big liberal, of course, but he said Elizabeth Warrens style reminds him of the students he least. He and i think all of us went to school with somebody like that, right . Th and i was surprised that somebody likei Mike Bloomberg didnt turn around and Say Something like the story of you getting fired for being pregnant when your teacher is a lie. But nobody calls him out on it and she lets Bernie Sanders skates. All those things that Bernie Sanders was saying, nobody even touches him, they just leave them alone, no wonder hes the front runner. Tucker its bizarre. Elizabeth warren, who is a legitimately smart person in my opinion it has said interesting ithings in years past has totay degraded herself i think. Attention is also probably looking at a Vice President ial slot. I think she honestly knows that not happening. Biden likely to win South Carolina this weekend. Maybe not by a time, but hell win and then by super tuesday will be clear shes not going to be able to make it. Tucker so that i mean,ke bloomberg still i think it seems like the main potential challenger to Bernie Sanders. Did he come out last night stronger or weaker would you say . I mean, if the worst debate ever was last week, then you can only do a little bit better and i think Mike Bloomberg did a little bit better. And mostly in the superle tuesdy states, hes pulling kind of third or fourth and a lot of those states. Hes been able to get some recognition, but the debates are not inspiring. I do think joe biden winning in South Carolina might make people wonder, is he a better option if you want an alternative topt burning . But even that seems farfetched. I think that the Bernie Sanders thing is happening and you start to see even people like Speaker Pelosi have to say let the chips fall where they may. All the candidates are great, im just going to sit back here and not worry about it and theyre going to end up with somebody that is mcgovern in 1972. Tucker watch biden announce his victory in North Carolina over the weekend. Hes tired though. Hes tired. Tucker that was mean, but probably true. So pelosi today just said look, if sanders is the nominee, of course im on board because im a loyal democrat. Do you think thats true . Is nominee, and he would have to think is the most likely, will democrats in washington get behind him do you think . Yeah, i do. Because what do they really wa want . They want power. Hes the only ticket out of town, he better better get on board. I do think they will and they will put brave faces on and there will be some people who will behind the scenes nobody will save on the record except for somebody like a James Carville who is willing to, but if hes going to be the only one that there theyre certainly not going to start Bernie Sanders and if Bernie Sanders can show that in South Carolina he can have a more diverse population vote for him like he did in nevada, i think its very hard to take that away from him. Tucker i think thats right. The great. Dana perino, thank yu so much for that very thank you, see you later. Tucker in one of his less lucid moments last night, joe biden claims that half the country has been killed by guns in the last decade. If thats true, why is it so crowded . We will tell you. Plus we will investigate bidens increasingly ambitious claims about his personal history. This is like a New York Times wedding announcement when you have a harvard degree, times ten. Well be right back. Ss in america. Tmobile has the first and only, nationwide 5g network. And with it, you can shape the future. Weve invested 30 billion dollars and built our new 5g network for businesses like yours. While some 5g signals only go a few blocks, tmobile 5g goes for miles.

No one gets you a bigger refund or you get 100. Yep, get your biggest refund or we pay you. Guaranteed. And heres another reason to switch to jackson hewitt. Tucker during the democratic debate last night, joe biden made a remarkable claim about the level of gun violence in this country, watch. 150 Million People have been killed since 2007 when bernie voted50 to exempt the gun manufacturers from liability. More than all the wars, including vietnam from that point on. Tucker vietnam . More than that. At 150 million . Thats almost half the country. Dead in ten years. Thats a lot of empty buildings. Similarly biden meant to say 150,000, thats roughly the number of gun homicides in this country during that period, but democrats are doing their best to drive that number up. How . By attacking police and letting criminals, real criminals, go free. Instead of fighting gun o violee by fighting actual criminals, theyre trying to destroy the enemy and take guns from people who didnt vote for them. With assault weapons ban. Two assault weapons bans were . Theres just been a big study on this question from Johns Hopkins peer at the party of science is ignoring it but the answer is no. They dont work. Second amendment advocate joins tonight. Thanks so much for comingg on. Have you noticed there seems to be a connection between the vehemence of junk, guncontrol advocates and their lack of knowledge about firearms . Some of these people, biden is a perfect example, the round comes out of. If they dont know what a musclk is, and if theres sort of posing as experts, am i imagining this . Your not imagining it. Thats exactly what theyre doing and to me thats the most disheartening aspect of this. We are talking about one of the most important Constitutional Rights in this country, but these individuals were calling themselves leaderse dont know the first thing about the subject theyre talking about. They just get the talking points, get in front of the camera and then spew a bunch of misinformation toer millions of people and in the people believe it. Tucker so whats interesting is that the same people who lecture you constantly about science and Climate Change and look at the data, assiduously ignore the data when it conflicts with their socalle social engineeri. Johns hopkins, a new study showing that assault weapons bans do not or theres no evidence to show that they do reduce mass shootings, so this would and a lot of studies have shown us, including the federal governments own studies during the clinton administration. Why is this not kind of death for assault weapons bans . Theyey dont work, so why are we still pushing them . Well because, agenda. At the end of the day i want to go back to this point because its their overall goal, which is controlled. They dont really care about what t the facts actually say. If what they want is to restrict the Second Amendment into oblivion. Thats their goal. And at this point in time from what weve seen from all of the candidates who have been on stage talking about the Second Amendment and gun control, so forth and so on and people talk about confiscating weapons, at this point we should all understand that, that they have an agenda to restrict the Second Amendment into oblivion. If this isnt about saving lives. This isnt about trying to find a balance but have a conversation because if it was, they wouldnt be talking about how they beat or destroyed the nra, they were talking about, okay, how do we balance protecting peoples rights while trying to, you know, save lives in some manner that makes sense and thats actually possible without taking away peoples Constitutional Rights that as far asha im concerned im not willing to give up for the sake of saying, you know what, i do feel a little bit safer when im not actually s safer. So thats the problem with this conversation as a whole. They really dont care. What they care about is gaining control. Tucker controlling the population. An armed population is hard to control. If they cared about gun violence they would focus their efforts in places where gun violence is the biggest problem, but of course there against that. Its great to see you. Absolutely. Please finish up, put a bow on it. So for them its too multifaceted for them. They dont actually want to do work, they dont want to roll thee sleeves up and get the jobs done because when you talk about the places that have the most gun violence, its a social economic issue. Its not a gun issue. Because if it were a gun issue, we see this violence widespread across the country. We dont, just concentrated in very specific areas and there are patterns to all of these areas that are not being addressed. But that would require them to actually care and actually do work. Instead they go into this place is in the essay we will give you guncontrol and then leave and never show up again. Tucker if someones trying to make you powerless and helpless you should be nervous. Thats a sign, thats not a good sign i dont think at all. Great to see you, thank you for that. Absolutely, thank you for having me. Tucker joe bidens chief claim to the presidency is longevity. He was in the senate a long ti time. Im 50, he was first selected the year i was born. So all that time in office obviously has given him a tremendous set of accomplishments to brag about. To hear biden tell it, he is the single most accomplished politician in the history of this country. He is a statesman, hes a thinker, scholar, lover, and a fighter. Hes a national hero. I am spent more time with xi jinping than anynt world lear by the time i left off sms this is a guy who i was able to convince should join the international agreement. No one up here ever dealt internationally with any of these world leaders. Im the only one thaty has. Domestic abusers cant go out and get an ak47. That bill, along with you didnt right that bill. I wrote that bill. I wrote the bill. Took out of the hands of people who abuse we will have a fact check look at this. Looked look at the factcheck. The halfway mark. I wrote the bill that set up ha i helped set up that office in the presidency and the president s office. What we did with ebola, i was part of making sure that pandemic did not get to the United States, saved millions of lives. Why should anyone have faith that youre the one who can get this done now . Because im the only one that ever got it done. Tucker [laughs] im the only one that ever got it done it all kind of makes you feel better for al gore. While he did was claim to invent the internet and they never got past it. People were mocking him to this day. Meanwhile, joe biden, that guy gets up early. Hes setting up drug courts on thursday, meeting with xi jinping on friday. Before the weekend is done he stopping ebola. This guy is an animal, hes a savage and with the recent discovery of his arrest in south africa, you wonder what else he has done that he simply forgot about or hasnt taken credit for yet. Maybe joe discovered viagra. That would make sense. Maybe he invented yoga pants. Thats another achievement biden would certainly be here to brag about. And by the way he would deserve praise for that. Maybe next week will reveal that after taking on corn pop with a chain he went home and came up with a peanut butterhe sandwich. And you know what, lets go even further. Biden is taking credit for writing a lot of laws. Howw do we know he didnt write the greatest law of all, the constitution of the United States . Why not . We are already tearing down statutes of the other founders. Let a new founder take their place. Ak joe biden. How we card from another national monument, radio show host, author of what really happened and he joins us tonight. This guy clearly doesnt get a lot of sleep. With that many compliments, its like he never stops moving. Youou know, omer simpson used to say doughnuts, is there anything they cant do . Now we can say the same thing of gjoe biden. He can do anything. I think i think this is one reason why legislators at whatever level have a hard time moving up to the executive branch. He mentioned al gore. John kerry, you know, i voted for the 87 billion before i voted against the 87 billion so that was pick and choose. And you know joe biden has just taken it to its logical extreme here. I mean, he does everything. You notice though, last night, he didnt take credit for voting for the iraq war. He had to be reminded of that by Bernie Sanders. At least Bernie Sanders at least Bernie Sanders admitted hey, i make some bad boats now and then. You never hear that from joe bident. Hes never made a bad vote. He didnt mention Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings either, but thats the way he is. You know, you didnt get you didnt mention some of the other what about the dash he knew eight president s, three of them remember that when . Tucker [laughs] no, i dont. Thats quite an admission. Ss but you know, hes been around for 50 years. He was Vice President of the United States, youd think thatu he would be secure. Hes so overeager and insecure, kind of desperate to prove that his life meant something. How sad is that . How poignant is that to watch . It goes back too to college. T remember, he goes to speak to the black College Group and he says i was the first white student at delaware state. You know, and then hes he says he quit the basket the Football Team at delaware, which is a division i school. Now hes he was playing, he was a varsity got a letter at the university oft delaware. Probably he would have been the starting quarterback. He could have beaten out joe flack oh, you know, the guy who won the super bowl for the ravens. You know, everything that it. Ens, he was involved in you know its amazing, remember in 2008 he was brought onto the ticket, the democratic ticket because he had gravitas . I mean i thought at the time it was absurd, but i mean now, its really sad that hes and they didnt even ask him last night about the south african adventure, you know with being arrested. Only he wasnt arrested and he was in looking for Nelson Mandela. And Nelson Mandela wasnt even tucker fighting apartheid. Exactly, he was on the enemies list. He said to me once, you have to do the time, dont let the time to you, prison changes a man. How the car, great to see you. Always a pleasure, talker. Tucker thank you. Theres no shortage, as youve seen, both hilarious and bizarre moments to last nights debate. Dave portnoy will assess what we saw. But first tonight, the New York Times is been a leader in pushing the russia collusion hoax for years now. The president is suing the New York Times. That hasnt happened in a while. A sitting president suing the New York Times. The attorney for the president of the United States in that case joins us next. Tucker r the Trump Administration won victory in federal court today and its ongoing fight against the nations many sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants. To break his correspondent Trace Gallagher has the details on what happened. Ery, trice. This is a big battle victory for the president because it means he might go on to win back the war. Remember back in 2017 the administration moved to withhold about 400 million in federal grant money from cities and states that had implemented sanctuary laws m and policies where they refused to cooperate with federal immigration authorities when it comes to dealing with illegal immigrants. The cities and states quicklys filed lawsuits and a series of lower courts ruled in their favor. Later, the more liberal third, seventh, and ninth Circuit Court of appeals upheld the lower courts decision saying the administration had to give up the grant money. But now the second Circuit Court of appeals in new york has sided with the administration and because there is now a major conflict tween the various Circuit Courts, its likely the Supreme Court will step in to make the final call. And aside from the court leaning4 conservative scotus has repeatedly along said the federal government maintains broad power over states when it comes to immigration policy. Record. Tucker interesting, Trace Gallagher, thanks foruc that. Sure. Tucker the white house is open for yet another court win. Today the trumper Election Campaign filed suit against the New York Times for libel over the russia collusion hoax. Specifically the lawsuit concerns and oped the paper published in march of 2019 that explicitly accuse the Trump Campaign of reaching a quid pro quo with the russian government in 2016. Senior Legal Advisor to the term Election Campaign, joins us tonight. Thanks so much for coming on. Thank you for having me. Tucker shall summarize for the nonlawyers among us what this suit alleges. First, its very important to clarify that this is the donald j. Trump for president inc. Campaign, that is the plaintiff and the victim in this suit, not the president in his personal or official capacity. And so what we are suing for is to hold the New York Times accountable for their false and malicious statements that were published on march 27th of 2019. There piece alleged and claimed in fact that there was a quid pro quo or a conspiracy between our campaign and russia for an exchange for emails from Hillary Clinton in exchange for prorussia policy and lifting of economic sanctions. That is provably false and the times new on march 27th that that was false and they published it anyway with actual malice, which means that they knew that it was false at the time of publication and also that they willfully ignored the truth, so it wasnt just even an intentional disregard for the trip, but they willfully ignored everything that was on the record. Our lawsuit in fact shows at least four prior instances of the times own reporting that has debunked that claim and of course the Mueller Report fully exonerated the president. Tucker okay, so youre saying that because they ran reporting showing that the claims in the oped werent true that they mustve known that they werent true . Of course they knew and of course they knew and they ran with these false statements anyway and they made a factual assertions that were knowingly false at the time and they never reached out to the campaign to verify or even for comment before they ran the story. And so of course america stands for freedom of the press andec freedom of speech, but that limitation on that freedom of course is when you knowingly publish false claims with actual malice. Tucker right. Accusing someone of treason, as they did. What are you asking for . So we are asking for damages in the amount of the lens of dollars, which isnt specified in the lawsuit, but we are going to show that at trial and look forward to a full vindication. In holding the New York Times accountable. This is not something that any publication or any publishing platform should ever do and their intentionally misleading their readers and in fact the even went so far in the response to our lawsuit to continue to mislead their readers by saying thatat just because this was published under the flag of an oped that somehow this was an opinion statement. No, this was a statement of fact that was ran as true and when in fact it was knowingly false, provably false and they had absolutely no legal right to run this. Tucker right. Factcheck the opeds that i know. Maybe they dont anymore. Jenna alice, thank you so much for that, interesting story. Thank you. Tucker so we talked to dave portnoy of balls sports last week about the president ial debate that he saw, he almost choked on his beer watching that one. Weve asked him to come back.

Tucker Democratic Leaders in washington say theyre feeling very concerned after last nights debate. But what did viewers think . Dave portnoy isnt technically the president , but he has he is the founder and head guy at barstool sports. He came on last week to assess that debate. Hes back tonight. Dave joins us. Thanks for coming on. You werent super impressed by bloomberg last week. I think its fair to say. You use the word vomit several times in your description. Did you reassess review after watching last night . I dont know if i reassessed. I dont think anybody came out looking good yesterday. He blended in. Im not sitting here singling him out. I mean this was a this was a war, this was like anchorman when every news station has a weapon and theyre just hitting each other with it. It was sort of embarrassing. Again. I dont know if you watch it, theyre all raising their hand, theyre all screaming over each other. I absolutely do not know a simple question, why cant they turn up the microphones when their time is up . They do it on a ton of game shows, your time is up, your microphone is off. I could win this debate because i would just never shut up. I would never be intimidated to stop talking. If you just talked the longest the loudest, eventually you get the floor. But honestly,nd i tweeted this out. If i was an alien and i landed on earth and this is who are supposed leaders were, the people competing to be the president , i would invade. I mean, its embarrassing. I dont know if its any different than republicans or n this process, i mean, there has to be a better way to do this. They just scream at each other and look like morons. It looks like a kindergarten with no teachers in it. Its disgusting. Tucker so ive got two questions. At one why would you invade, because they look so weak, they be easy to take over or you t would invade for their own good, or both . I would probably invade both for their own good, but theyre all going to be looking at each other, battling each other and then you can walk right by them into the white house. Its literally insane. These are supposed to be intelligent people screaming at each other. And by the way, i also just lie. I would never shut up and i would lie. I would just our stats, figures, nobody knows. You can say anything, nobody knows the real time if its true. And by the time tomorrow rolls around, couple stats i checked, yeah, biden can go out and stay everybody in america was killed by guns last year because we are still alive. Unless you screw up that badly, nobody knows. Its just a shout fast. Thats all it is. Thats what politics are. Tucker shouldnt the moderators . You have them at your office. What is that . Shouldnt they be shouldnt they be keeping control . Its really simple. Shut the mic off. You have 30 seconds and r then u press a button, your microsoft, youre screaming at air. Is that revolutionary . How hard is that to do . Heyis buddy, your time is up. You get muted. The span, that show around the horn, they do it all the time. Your time is up, beep, you cant talk anymore. Instead they just scream at each other. Its insane. Tucker youve got some loud guys in your office, you dont put up with this kind of stuff, do you . This is what it looks like, but heres the thing, i want to put our guys running the country. We are idiots, everybody looks at us and says barstool sports, brat humor, theyre yelling at each other, locker room environment. These are the people who criticize us. These areot the people they e worse than we are. I want to say this, im wearing an armani suit, its one of the reasons i came on because of burning if elected i o dont wat him to steal it from me so i wanted to get some use permit. Tucker if Elizabeth Warren gets elected, by the s way, goig straight to prison. Its going to be too busy. Again, im smarter than they are, they just yell at each other and al gore around the corner. Erhonestly, shut the microphones off. This isnt just democrats, republicans, they just scream at each other, make stuff up and everybody just looks around in the audience like what just happened, how could anybody pick up between . How . Tucker one of the great debate assessments effort. Dave portnoy, barstool sports, thank you great to see you. Back tomorrow from 8 00 p. M. , the throat with a sworn enemy of mine, verbosity, smugness and groupthink. Sean hannity takes over the hour now. Sean thank you. A lot of news tonight and welcome to hannity.

Democrats are in the midst of a fullblown political crisis. Last nights debate was a national embarrassment. That p
