Believe me, is the United States of america. Tucker the president also denied allegations he pressured to fired fbi james coming to advance in an investigation of former National Security advisor Michael Flynn. Did you urge james comey in any way, shape, or form, to back to me investigation against Michael Flynn . No. No. Next question. Tucker donald trump is a volatile president. Hes impulsive, he changes course on a dime, sometimes without claiming why. Hes elusive about what he really believes that he talks and tweets about himself too much, too much for his own good or for the countrys good. By the way, hes not always a great manager. The white house is actually pretty chaotic right now, but not just media spin. Its real. If you voted for tom, you already know this. You probably knew it back in november when you voted for him. But what you also knew, and what has Worth Remembering right now, is that there are worse things than what we currently have. So, the left badly wants to
remove donald trump from office, not with votes in the next president ial election as you typically see in working democracies, but they want to remove him right now, today, using legal action or impeachment, mass protests, whatever. It doesnt really matter how it happens. By any means necessary, they often say. The left wants to do this for a number of reasons. But mostly because they used to be in power but they arent anymore and they would much like to be so again. Okay, so, lets imagine they get their way. Trump goes a mayor and tried once again. What happens then . This is worth thinking about because the Democratic Party of right now bears almost no resemblance to the Democratic Party of ten years ago, much less the Democratic Party you grew up with. It has changed in ways that ought to worry you. The modern left is no longer an ideological movement. Instead, its an organized movement around Identity Politics. Thats the idea that every american is a member of a subgroup, usually a racial category, and the point of achieving power is to win spoils for that group. Another word for this is tribalism and its the most divisive possible way to run a country. Because its not about ideas and based instead on immutable characteristics, Identity Politics is inherently unreasonable. There is no winning arguments or even having arguments. If there is only victory or defeat for the group you belong to you. Your gain is my loss by definition. In the end, every group finds itself at war with every other group. It is the perfect inversion, the perfect pro version, of the american ideal. Out of 1, benny. And it never ends well. We know this because it is the story of much of the rest of the world. And the left has brought here to america. Once you understand this, you begin to see the futility is dealing with modern progressives as just another political faction, people you can reason with or perhaps convince. They dont want to argue. They want to win. The old rules that you are member, those mean nothing to them. The left doesnt believe american traditions are noble or worth preserving. On the contrary, anything old must be destroyed. That would include the basic institutions of our society going back to colonial times. The nuclear family, freedom of speech, traditional religious faith, the rule of law, all of these are under direct and open assaults by the left. This is not an exaggeration. They are not pretending anymore. They are saying it. Indeed, the left has grown so impatient, much more than ever, that it is now unable to acknowledge the basic legitimacy of any Government Act they disagree with. Every Executive Order here is an opportunity to demand massive resistance to the law itself. Every expression of conservative opinion is a chance to get somebody else fired. Every fake hate crime is the opportunity to demand new concessions that are granted even when the fraud is exposed. Now, beneath all of us, which is the monster under the bed, as a threat of violence. At this stage, only the fringes are calling for that, but the rest of us know its there. We can feel it. Sometimes, especially recently, we can see it. And that is the end, or the beginning of it. Violence is what separates politics for more. Its a point or hurt feelings
become dead bodies. The point at which countries become ungovernable part of the people that can begin leaving for somewhere else. You dont want to get there. The most important thing our leaders can do is prevent that from happening yet increasingly, they are refusing to pay the kind of arguments we used to have in washington centered around tax rates are trade agreements. Suddenly, that seems antique. Heres what we are talking about now. Watch what happened with mees two progressives were asked on this show whether they would condemn a political violence. Because of his race, he was pulled from his truck and smash room had with a cinderblock until he sustained a brain damage. It was a hate crime if there ever was one. It all happen on videotape, helicopter caught it, and it happened and Maxine Waters city. But she did not denounce the attack preyed on the contrary, she all but endorsed the attack. That puts her outside the pale, endorsing violence, that is a line, she crossed it. I dont know if we would have our current president if that was a line. She has a right to say what she thinks. Tucker is that a legitimate tactic, to smash windows . Is not effective. Is it legitimate . So, its okay . There is time when losing violence i am asking you a philosophical question. I cant answer every question when violence is appropriate or not. Tucker i cant answer whether violet is appropriate or not. Okay. Until they can answer yes, on hesitatingly, we are in danger. Dana loesch is a radio host d a spokesman for the National Rifle association and she joins us tonight. Use those clips, you have been awake in america for the past nine months. Do you think that the left is very different from what it was two years ago and do you think they are ready to leave the country if they succeed in eliminating the president from office . Tucker, thanks for having me. It sure does feel different. It feels way differently than it used to. I get the sense this is what really troubles me. You mentioned tribalism. There are people on the left who
are so try ballistic, tucker, that they are not willing to admit what is truth. They want to be right. They prioritize being right, prioritize winning an argument, over what is true and over what is correct. And we have seen mistrust in the clip that you play. We have seen this over and over. It seems as though that they take personal offense whenever you point out, this is what you are pushing, promoting, simply doesnt add up. That is a problem. We should never get to the point where we are more for a tribe then we are for truth. Sadly, these individuals, they seem to be so triggered about it, to use their terms, that it does push them to the point of violence. Violence is not civil discourse. Violence is not reasonable discourse. It is of the last refuge of the coward. It is the last refuge of the person who cannot make their argument intellectually. And that is what we are seeing from a lot of those people, particularly on the fringe on the left. Tucker i agree. Here is what i think has changed. There have always been wackos on the fringes of american politics, ready to take up arms and hurt up other people and been neighborhood rather because they are for. I get it. But what i am shocked by is that the leaders on the left havent said anything about it. When you press them, is it acceptable to shout down a speaker, do smash store windows, to take to the streets, block traffic, those are acts of violence. They will not condemn them. That is different. No. They wont. And that is shameful. For all of the individuals and some of the people on the left, i see them on social media, tucker, i know you do come too. You talk about them on your show. Ive seen you debate them. There are individuals who say i guess we will take up arms because we didnt get our way in the election. They think that is going to be easier than going out into the street and changing hearts and minds . What a lazy response. They cant go out to vote to somewhat make them think they will be able to win some kind of conflict. Its insane. Elected officials need to be able, they should, they are required, it is their responsibility to be able to
control the passions of their side and say, you know what, there are better ways to go about this. Instead of attacking people when they are on College Campuses or attacking people in the street because you dont like the inauguration or for damaging property. They need to be more responsible for the passions, tucker, that they are inflaming. Tucker these are not partisan points. By the way, i would like to see leaders on both sides and the Congress Make an articulate defense of basic american values. First among them, freedom of speech. You have a right to say would you think is true. A period. There is no hedges on that. Hate speak is not a legal category. That is all a y. So much a stand up for that and the right of people to do that without fear of violence. I dont hear anybody saying that. Why is that . Thats a great question. I hear people who are on the right side of the aisle sang it quite frequently. I know people like you say it, people like me say it. But on the left, though, tucker, Maxine Waters, or the people you
spoke to in the clip that you played at the beginning of the segment, what is so wrong with saying that violence is unacceptable . If we see violence on our side because they always had, remember the tea party, they always have the tea party was so violent, if we were to see anything like that, what didnt happen, we would have called it out because that is not what we are about. The left needs to figure out what they are about. Tucker, we are rolling towards 2018, we are rolling towards 2020. Folders already told these people, the fringe, we dont buy your Identity Politics. We like jobs, trade, manufacturing cap. Can you people please get back to the point . That is what theyre based told them. They are not doing it, tucker. Tucker they dont believe it. I think thats it. If you have Maxine Waters, who is endorsing racial violence, which she explicitly did, after the l. A. Riots, and she becomes a folk hero, that is a huge red flag i think. Dana loesch, thanks a lot for joining us. It was great. I agree. Tucker special Counsel Robert Mueller has performed less than a day of work for the
congresswoman Maxine Waters is confident what hell find. Heres what you just said. We are going to learn a lot about the connections between this president , his allies, and the kremlin. It is going to be very revealing and i know a lot of people dont like to hear the word impeachment but i believe that its going to lead right to impeachment. Tucker is it responsible or wise to throw out the word impeachment so confidently and casually before the facts are in . Exactly candace is a former dnc former advisor. He led the trump war room and he joins us now. Thanks for coming on. Thank you for having me. Tucker i am playing by rules that are clearly out of date. But i thought the democrats are calling for an independent investigation because they wanted to know what the facts were. Here, we have an independent investigation, run by someone whose integrity i dont think anyone is calling into question, and yet, they skipped right past the investigation are calling for impeachment. I am not calling for impeachment. Other democrats i know are not calling for impeachment. There are certain individuals are calling for impeachment. I encourage you to have them on the show to talk about that. That is not where i am. Where i am, we need to ensure that this investigation is allowed to go forward, this investigation is well resourced, this investigation is not interfered with and the way that these investigations have been interfered with in the past by this white house. B1 is so, how are we going to do that . I think we have to remain vigilant. Theres a lot of ways this administration can screw with us investigation, and that means cutting off resources, that it includes interference. Lets remember tucker i dont think it is. By statute, if im mistaken, please, call into the show and set me straight if you are a lawyer fluent in this. But i think as a matter of fact, independent counsel has a budget that is not subject to the whims of the white house. It an independent counsel is different of a special prosecutors in the past. This is within the hierarchy come over the chain of command. Tucker im aware. Its not exactly i read of the announcement
yesterday. Come Department Of Justice filed a spiritual counselor not . Tucker yes. I think that is reassuring. You never want anyone with the power that an independent prosecutor has, who is totally beyond the control of anyone, that would be a dictatorship. You would never want that. The last time we had a an independent counsel or something similar that could be fired by the white house, they were, his name was archibald cox, during the watergate scandal. Tucker heres the thing. You are saying you are not for impeachment but i just cant let you skate that easily on that, considering there is a brandnew New York Times piece about 20 minutes ago, pointing out that the democratic grassroots are not only for impeachment, but a number member of congress, number people running for office in off year elections, there is a National March for impeachment. Maxine waters says i know that there are those that are talking about that we will get ready for the next election, mimicking her more cautious colleagues, no, we cant wait that long. We dont need to eat that long. We need to impeach. She said we dont believe in elections. I strongly encourage you to have Maxine Waters on. I told you what a make of it. We are not at impeachment. We are out investigation. We need to make sure it is not hindered by this white house, that we can get to the facts because the fact that we know right now are pretty damaging. Tucker here is the leader of Democracy For America. We cannot have congress sit back and let this play out with trump and his stooges. Congress needs to impeach trump. This is the New York Times. This is a movement on the left to shortcircuit the democratic process. They are saying we cant wait for the stupid election. You can cherry picks are Democratic Leaders but what most of us are calling for tucker the head of Democracy For America . Im a democrat and i am telling you what we are calling for is a robust investigation to get to the bottom of this. We need to protect our democracy from the intervention tucker i am gratified to hear that you are committed to our systems. Absolutely. Tucker our centuries old system. Centuries old. Tucker you are think i might you want to say, your colleagues and allies wont say, word one about this investigation until it wraps up, years from now, we find of the facts. That is what youre saying . About the investigation . Tucker the one run by Robert Mueller . I think people can comment on it. I dont know how it is tucker you are applying political pressure to someone. If you are yapping on television bob mueller is susceptible to political pressure in the news. Tucker what would be the poignant that you would say that he would be susceptible to pressure in the news by us democrats calling for us . That is just outrageous tucker no mortal man is above pressure. Period. Got it. Tucker there is no reason to comment on this. Is there . Unless you are trying to apply pressure to Robert Mueller or the many attorneys working for
him. That is the real thing. So, why would you comment on it . Until we get the facts . The issue is not commenting on investigations. The issue is calling the fbi director before you are in the oval office and telling you to knock off the investigation. That is a problem. That is interfering in the election. Tucker that is also over and we moved onto a step that you have been calling for four months. On the white house has ceded to pressure from the left, perhaps very foolishly. If you are thrilled about that, thats a bad sign. They did it. Im not the only one thrilled about it. Republicans tucker im sure. Im just saying, you called for this and now, you are going to see your friends in the Democratic Party saying that its not enough, we need to remove him from power. We cant wait for voters to decide. You cant say thats wrong . I have said repeatedly on the show that i think that impeachment is not the right move. We need to be insuring to this investigation goes through in a robust way. Tucker good. Then, you know what . Your within the bounds as far as im concerned. I hope you stick to that position. I will. Tucker believe in the rule of law and democracy. Zac, thanks for coming on. Donald trump destroyed jeb bush by calling him low energy but now the white house is being accused of lethargy weighed on my multiple scandals. Up next, Charles Krauthammer will be were here with my voice a Trump Administration get back on track fast. Also, The Economist Magazine predicted the donald trump residency what amount to an economic and catastrophe. Well ask forecasters what this guy is still firmly in place above our heads six months after his victory. And my impractical wardrobe changes, those all set . Not even close. Oh, this is probably going to shine in your eyes at the worst possible time. Perfect. Were looking at a real train wreck here, am i right . Wouldnt it be great if everyone said what they meant .
