operat itself? absolutely. killing abu bakr al-baghdadi it was a victory for the united states and it was a great day for all americans whether on the left, the right or the center. but instead, some in the media and the left, although i repeat myself, seem to be incapable of viewing an issue outside the prism of what is good for donald trump is bad and what is bad for donald trump is good and so immediately after the story broke you saw a cascade of attempts to either downplay the significance of the mission or to find a negative angle from which to spin it. john harwood from cnbc, for example, compared killing baghdadi to killing an ant. cnn this morning had a story on the home page called how does killing baghdadi affect the impeachment inquiry. and of course tucker: actually had that? not even kidding, on the front page. and of course you have max boot, who takes the cake, as he normally does, with stupidity and decided to defend baghdadi from the charges of being a cowar
liberals, these so-called liberals. what i called illiberal liberals. they stand for the complete antithesis of liberalism. if they don t believe in free speech, they don t believe in tolerance or fairness or anything. they just believe right now in screaming at anyone that doesn t fit their narrow worldview, there narrative of events and when that is applied to something like the death of baghdadi, the leader of isis, it is a shocking moment. i thought last night, frankly, was shameful. thousands of americans who thought that was the right way to respond, it shames themselves and they shamed their country. tucker: i thinknk that s exactly right, piers morgan, thank you for that, good to see you. good to see you. tucker: an attorney, former u.s. army captain and we think a reliable voice on questions of foreign policy, great to see you. great to be back. tucker: put this in context for us, what does this mean for the united states? we are impressed by the
tucker: i live in his country, i m not for some crazy person getting the nomination. i m not attacking joe biden. i feel sad the whole thing is imploding. what are you going to do when it does implode? i think it s amazing that joe biden with all of this ukraine stuff is actually held up as well as he did and iai wod point out the last ten democratic contested nominations, the person in first in the pollsra in december won a grand total of three times. howard dean was first. john kerry was sixth in december 03 and 5 weeks later carrie has the nomination locked up so i think we just don t know. could cory booker win? he might. tucker: if cory booker wins we all have to leave the country so don t even say things like that. you know that s true. let me ask you if biden doesn t get it i m not rooting against biden, not being mean. but if he doesn t, where does that leave noncrazy nonsocialist democrats? are there really going to support elizabeth warren? that s a sinceret question
there shielded harvey weinstein. so my question is you ve got noncrazy people at the helm higher up, roberts at comcast, where everyone says is a decent person. steve burke, the ceo of nbc universal. why has no one asked them what nethey think of this and why thy are continuing to employ thesehi guys? comcast, they have stood by him. they stood by and he lacked, stood byys nbc news. i was on your show when i broke the story of variety with them at lower allegations two years ago in 2017. nbc news at that time released a statement that says we knew nothing about lower. we found out about the allegations, a woman came to hr, now we know that woman was brooke nettles and we fired within 24 hours. if they ve been saying the same thing, they ve been singing the same to them for two years. it s hardye not to backtrack and say just kidding, what we set for two years actually isn t the truth. tucker: so how about oppenheimer is profiting from hawking products on the air and
late 20s and early 30s, why be surprised that something like socialism has an ever greater purchase on them? tucker: it s totally true but we are robbing them of life s great pleasure, which is becoming an adult. absolutely, absolutely, and that s at the core of it. and en s solution, if we just had more government credits for this so you could hire somebody from yemen or venezuela to look after your child that doesn t correct the problem. tucker: a no, hiring other people to raise her kids is not the answer to these problem. great to see you tonight, thank you so much. thanks a lot. tucker: in case you been gone for the last several years, not so long ago, all of official washington insisted the russia hoax was absolutely real. now they rea demanding we beliee that the investigation into that hoax is fake, it s a conspiracy theory. okay. we will get details after the break.
