absolute [ simultaneous talking ] and i say 1 thing? i want to give the last word. he makes a point when he says this is retribution a thousand times and donald trump is want to put people in jail and what he actually said as we are not going down that path. this is a genuine point. in 2016 when running i did not dismiss nor did hillary. 1 of the things i understood people liking was he says what he means and means what he says. yet in the 8 years since every time he says something controversial here this progression. he didn t say it. oh he didn t mean it. it was taken out of context. he was just joking. where did that go? how come i never here yet he said it. he sent his to put him in jail. he met and he s come to. by the constant backtracking from what the man said? 2 things that i think are
documents with you it says that they are the property of the federal government it says you negotiate make a deal, it s not criminal. it does not mean negotiate. the presidents record. it does not say you can negotiate to take documents with you. just to understand the presidential records act is not criminal. i think the documents, i m allowed to. it will stop them? obama took them. nixon took them. obama did not take documents. oh he didn t? take a look. reagan took them. the national archives says that president obama did not take arguments. you know we took them more than anybody s joe biden. he has 1800 boxes and nobody even knows where they are. and nobody talks about him mister president that s not accurate. i think it s going to set the record straight here, they took documents including vice president pence when they realize they had documents they turn the back over. the differences that you waited to turn yours over. and it was a year and a half effort
of, but i was glad he let bygones be d bygones. he s my president now. he s about to be the 45th president of the united states. the long history of the republic, i think we go and get behind him and give him a chance. tucker: what i think is not interesting,h he didn t just let bygones be bygones, he reached out to you without prompting and just called you and said geraldo, i m moving to washington but i want to see you before i go. did i get that right? you let me give you 30 seconds on what happened. when i got back, i was with the family inn africa and europe ovr the holidays. i came home and the first thing we hear is that the republicans in the house of representatives are disemboweling, trying to deconstruct the ethics office and trump stopped them dead in their tracks. i tweeted out, there is a new sheriff in town, drain the swamp. the g.o.p. is in charge of washington, trump is in charge
