Media, if people dont believe us. One of the reasons they dont believe us is because of the way the last election was covered, which was overwhelmingly in favor of one candidate over another. That is not surprising given that there is no politically diversity in the press corps. Politico did a study on this. How many registered republicans in the White House Press corps . Zero. Thats a huge problem, dont you think . Im a registered independent. I think it is important to be neutral when you are covering politics in the white house. Tucker do you i agree with you. You think of the people covering the white house are objective . I do. We went to read their twitter feeds . I cant speak for every member of the association. s i think it is very important to be neutral. I think it is important to report the facts, it is important to report robustly with the president is doing. I think you should do that regardless of whether the president is a republican or a democrat. Tucker i agree with th
Dastardly enemy, and anyone who questions that, is probably a tool of Vladimir Putin and therefore, a traitor to our country. One current member of the House Intelligence Committee put it this way. Why were the russians in the white house . And i mean that seriously. They had just attacked our democracy. They are being there is exactly what we have all feared all along, is that donald trump would Say Something to them that is not really in line with u. S. Policy. They are not our friends. We should share nothing more than pleasantries, certainly not National Security secrets. Tucker congresswoman stephanie murphy, a democrat from florida, went a step further than this. She demanded the u. S. Government stop speaking to russia at all in any way. There is no such thing as appropriate contact with a hostile foreign government. No word on whether she applied that same standard to barack obama recent deal with communist cuba. Nobody is arguing here, even a
Trump Administration, that rush is
Thats all the time we have left this evening. Please stay with the Fox News Channel for all night, continuing coverage of this breaking news. The president firing the fbi director james comey, bret baier is next. We will see you back here. An important show tomorrow. Bret a massive political shock wave hits washington. I was flabbergasted, to say the least. The president did not fire the entire fbi. He fired the director. Speak with the goal was to act on recommendation of the Deputy Attorney general and the Attorney General. The administration has to answer the question why now . Bret President Trump writing the letter that he believes comey cannot lead the fbi. Essentially puts the nail in
the coffin for President Trump to fire him. Bret tonight, new questions. Did the president hint at comeys firing a month ago . We will see what happens. Its going to be interesting. Bret What Happens Next in the russia investigation . Catastrophically compromise the investigation. The investigation
Thats why we have a president. You will concede that. I think thats a valid argument and thats the argument that was made. Thats one of the arguments that persuaded the Supreme Court today. Although, keep in mind, that the court only lifted the stay. It will hear the merits of the case in october. But, yes, you are right. But, as i said, the stronger argument against this travel ban is its really bad policy. It doesnt accomplish the goal which is notomake america safer. Tucker it doesnt. You would argue the counter case that the more immigrants that we have from say somali coming into the country the safer we are . What point are you making. What i would argue on Policy Grounds this ban is both too broad and not broad enough. Let me explain. Heres why its too broad. It denies muslims from six predominantly muslim countries. Tucker let me stop and correct you. It makes no reference to religion at all. It doesnt badge muslims. It bans people who live in six countries the Obama Administra
Bill. It would be limited to repealing the obamacare is of individual and employer mandates and the medical device tax. The measure would go to conference to cut a deal with the house. After the procedural vote, Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell pledged to keep working to get there and noted democrats doug two struggled with passing obamacare. We watched a similar process seven years ago. They had a lot of differences. We are going to sort this out with a so thoroughly open amendment process and a situation where 51 votes can change the bill. This democratic leader tried to convince moderate republicans to oppose this effort. Dont be fooled by this ruse. A vote in favor of the motion to proceed will mean deep cuts to medicaid, it may be even deeper than in the house bill. It wont be an easy lift going forward, but leadership was able to get past the first hurdle and has an opportunity to keep working at it to keep a Campaign Promise going back
seven years. Bret live on the hill, thank yo
