He can express any views he was. Wants. The big mistake was not recusing himself. When he tweeted he would make sure trump doesnt become president and has an insurance policy, he could not be fair and just. By not recusing himself, he violated his position of trust. I would not go too far and blame it on the top authorities of the fbi. They didnt know. When they did know, they demoted him and took him out of the investigation. I think its a blemish, but i dont think its a fatal flaw in the investigation. I think there are deeper and more fatal flaws. Ultimately i think it was the right decision. Tucker dont those texts suggest why he didnt recuse himself . Its one thing to express a political opinion. Do i it for a leaving. Living. He was suggesting that his opinions would drive the crimmial investigation that he was conducting. Thats subversion of justice. Thats the issue. He denied under oath that in any way he was influenced by his hatred for thump in any of his professional decisions. When he said to his friend, we will stop him. We need an insurance policy. Whether there is the reality of interference or the perception of the thumb on the scale thats enough to recuse yourself. Thats why Rod Rosenstein should recuse himself. He is a witness in this case. The idea that you can be the Chief Prosecutor and the main witness at the same time is such an obvious conflict ever interest, that i dont understand how he can continue to go forward running this investigation. We have at least 2 major conflicts of interest. I think it does raise some questions about the inteeingitty
the centerpiece for the russian collusion Conspiracy Theory that overwhelmed the workings of government. That Meeting Looks like it may have been a set up designed to sabotage the Trump Campaign. We look at this. There is a brand new piece out today. He joins us tonight. You took a close look at this meetings. What did you conclude . Thanks for having me on. One of the most important things to look at, there is one key to it the russian lawyer that is supposed to be the test of the proof of collusion. This was a client of Glenn Simpson who produced the clinton funded dossier. How does this happen . How did this comination happen . How are all of these people in the same room . Thats the point that was obscured almost all of the time
of in the press. Once people look at that fact, things become clearer. Tucker so explain, the famous russian attorney who said she was in there to talk about russian adoptions and others say she was peddling dirt on hillary clinton. How is she a client of simpson . Talking about adoptions was part of an effort to roll back an act sanctioning russian officials and associate of vladimir putin. Simpson hired by the clintom campaign to it produce the dossier unearthing trumps ties to russia is working on behalf of prokremlin interest. Thats what she was doing in that meeting. To roll back american
legislation on putin regime officials and other associates. Tucker so a Glenn Simpson client is key to the case in trump kluged colluding with the russian government. Why is this not a widely known fact . Look, i think what happened here is i think that we have seen fusion gps and seen the press take a picture. The picture is of donald trump and other Trump Campaign members in a meeting with a russian lawyer. Then they wrote the caption underneath. What does the caption say . Collusion. The other caption the real caption is something else. The facts are different. The facts that she was there working on a case that simpson is also working on. They are partnered on the same job on behalf of the prokremlin
interest. Its an enormous issue that has been misreported since the story first broke a little more than a year ago now in 2017 reporting the 2016 meeting. Tucker its an amazing fact. A years ago i never would have believed any of this. Thanks. Great reporting. Violent in washington and charlottesville, the press tried to ignore it, but it happened. Its on tape. Mark stein joins us after the break to discuss what happened. Also a lot going on over the last week including news from the Creepy Porn Lawyer, things we missed when we were out of town. We will revisit them after this. Paying too much for insurance that isnt the right fit . Well, esurance makes finding the right coverage easy.

Tucker yesterday was the anniversary of the unite the right rally in charlottesville, virginia, where a woman was struck by a car driven into the crowd. If you followed the Press Coverage leading up to yesterdays event you expected
to see thousands of hooded clans man on horse back in d. C. To celebrate the killing. White supremmesy is where were. Thats a lie. Its not a crisis. Its not even a category. Its rare. You could live your entire life without meeting a Single Person who believes anything like that. Most of us have lived lives like that. This is a generous and tolerant country. People who tell you otherwise are try delusional and trying to control with you fear. The people milled around and got why would ought. What is a growing crisis is lest wingviolence. Here is the scene yesterday in washington. Antifa calling for the destruction. United states of the america. [shouting]. Tucker Benny Johnson took the time to interview protestors. They would like to torture and kill the president. What would do you to donald trump . Murder him. [bleep]. [shouting]. You have to pin him down. [bleep]. If it came down to it and it was a group effort, we would do him like the nazi. What would you do . [bleep]. [bleep]. Tucker in charlottesville, protestors screamed at the cops. [shouting]. Tucker in d. C. They attacked police with bottles does fireworks. This is not the far right. Its the left. Cops on motorcycle were pushed trying to pass through the crowd. In charlottesville a nbc News Reporter was assaulted by a screaming progressive. Watch this. [bleep]. [bleep]. What the . Dont worry about me. Tucker amazeingly nbc news did not even cover the assault on its own staff. The left did it so it would have undermined their storyline. Screaming leftists throwing battles and calling for the destruction of america and the murder of the president. Cnn described this group as an antihate group. Because its the opposite of hate even if its the same as hate. Scary. Lying works over time. Thats why they do it. Fox. Com ran a piece called Antifa Clashes with police and journalist in charlottesville and d. C. That was too close to the truth for many on the left and they complained. One tweeted this in other words objective truth is bad when it obstructs the goal which is gaining power. Lie or else. We can say what is obvious. The people decrying fascism are crushing those who disagree with them and threatening violence as they did yesterday. They can call it antihate all they want but they would hurt if you they could. Mark stein is an author and columnist. We are happy to have him back. You saw the video. Those are antihate groups screaming and throwing things. Yes. Actually, threatening to kill people and Wearing Masks and having all of the attributes of fascists. I am one of those people when you look at them. You see the little pajama boy types talking about wanting to kill people. Its easy to laugh it off and say, they dont really mean it. They are not into it. But in fact when you look at what is going on the increase in the level of targeted intimidation of people who happen to have a political disagreement with them, i think we are approaching the point where someone will get killed over this. The media will play a large part in that. When they say the thugs on the street intimidating not just
political targets but general, passing Motor Vehicle traffic, the media like cnn who called them antihate groups are a big part of the problem here. The glamorization of violence. Tucker of course. You can understand why the crowd is in a frenzy because they believe what they were told. That there is a massive White Supremacy movement on the verge of taking over. Where are these people . I have lived in this country for 49 years. I am not familiar in any large group that thinks that. I dont know a Single Person who believes that. This is a lie. Its a real problem . Really, where . What are you talking about . You are wrong there, tucker. There are 17 White Supremmists in America Living in their parents basement. And somehow the media presented this as a nationwide phenomenon. They have done that as part of a strategy to delegitimize people. Not White Supremmists but people right of center. Tucker exactly. Its trying to denormalize the Republican Party and restrict n restrictions on free speech lead to this. When you say we cant have this guy come and speak to us at american colleges because he believes that america should have tighter immigration controls, you end up with people who are incapable of making any argument and can only punch you in the face. The alternate to free speech is just to blow things up does smash stuff and thats what you
see on the streets. Tucker it does seem like we are all complicit in this. I never hear anybody say, i reject the premise of your argument. Everything you are saying is nuts nobody says that. One side is absolutely bent on preventing me from saying what i think is true and the other side is passive. Its not parity. Its not even close. No, no. I think thats where we dont push back on it hard enough. I think frankly, its a seduction. When you have comedians, for example, waving the severed head of the president. The comedian doesnt want to it actually sever the head of the president. Thats too much hard work for her. But he is turned on by it and others are turned on by it. Maybe there is one sufficiently
turned on by it. You may run into the assistant deputy undersecretary of whatever from the white house that you saw on tv when she it a restaurant. And you might beat her up. And Maxine Waters would encourage to you do that. We have people who are on the same continnium as the killers who think the answer those guys were witty and amusing and intelligent People Killed by guys who dont know anything except how to kick the door down and kill you. Thats these guys in antifa are the same thing. They cant make an argument. They are morons. But they are morons who have the scent of blood in their nostrils. Tucker when you give up on speech, you wind up with violent. Thats right. Tucker thank you. Because i was gone last week i missed a ton of stories including the Creepy Porn Lawyers future political plans. Mark will have a recap on all that happened. A new poll shows democrats against free markets. One joins us after the break. A hotel can make or break a trip. And at expedia, we dont think you should be rushed into booking one.

Get 0 apr on select 2018 lincoln models plus 1,000 bonus cash. Capitalism. I am too. The democrats are not skeptical of capitalism. I never hear anybody on the left criticize apple or amazon or the private equity people or the people making out under our current economy. Why is that . I think you are confusing the Democratic Party with the left. The Democratic Party as constituted can funded by capital and their leaders will tell you that. There is a movement on the left that criticizes the Democratic Party. Bernie sanders and alexandria ocasiocortez. Tucker you are half right. I dont remember the last time i heard anybody on either wingof the Democratic Party criticize
jeff bezos . Really. Amazon is a good example. A lot of people on the left believe that amazon is an example of the monopoly problem. Tucker they are quiet about it. They embraced socialism. Can you give me an example of some place it worked . Other than the Northern European countries. [overlapping talking]. Tucker lets be real. I think it works well in the United States for the elderly. They live under a wonderful form of socialism. They have Single Payer Health care and basic income in the
form of Social Security and they love it. It works well for the very old. Thats the reason they are politically engaged. Tucker no, you cant have socialism for part of the population. Its a comprehensive system in which everybody participates. The left is calling for that now. Bernie sanders and alexandria ocasiocortez are saying we need universal health care. More than 32 Trillion Dollars over a decade. Doubling the entire federal budget. Dont just tell me we will pay for it with savings. How exactly is that going to work in a country already incapable of pays its debt . You think medicare for all is expensive. Try the alternative. Not doing it will cost throe
billion dollars. 34 billion dollars. Those are 2 big numbers but we know which one is smaller. Under the President System you dont. You get more for less money. Thats the art of the deal. Tucker wouldnt you need to close the border immediately . If you get Free Health Care and you have open borders which we have thanks to the left, how is that sustainable . Why wouldnt everyone move to your country and partake of the free stuff . They would, correct . You cant have socialism and open borders at the same time . We dont have any version of open borders right now. Tucker we have 20 Million People living here. Its a capitalist idea you should be comfortable with that. Tucker no, no. [overlapping talking]. Tucker it the reason we have
open borders is the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are being bought off. You cant have generous Social Welfare and open borders. The truth is we do. If you want to move here, you can. We cant deport you from the say the of california, for example. Is that sustainable. Could you add another 100 Million People with low education levels and no skills to a universal health care . Our tradition in the United States has been that immigrants to the United States before they are citizens dont get access to most Social Welfare programs. They pay taxes. Lots of taxes but they dont get access to government programs. If you just maintained that status quo, there is not a Funding Challenge at all. Tucker hold on. I am not allowed to use
profanity in the air. But bs is what you just said. There is a democratic politician in american that will say we are getting universal coverage but noncitizens can partake . Thats how the Affordable Care act works. Tucker thats not true. Simple question do you think there is any democrat running for president who would look in the camera and say we need medicare for all but not noncitizens . Yes. I think Bernie Sanders got criticism because he said remember, [overlapping talking]. Tucker i am aware. If he says that, i will give you 1,000. He is not brave enough
