secretary of defense here tonight. we know last week he made a surprise announcement at his first thank you rally saying yes he s indeed choosing general james mattis for defense secretary. but the fact that two will be up on stage together, certainly notable, especially given that is the military friendly town. so donald trump hoping to cash in on the energy here almost to validate his pick for secretary of defense. and we know trump has many thank you tours and rallies ahead. just two this week alone and thursday he ll be in iowa and friday in michigan. you heard him taking credit for what he said is a $50 billion investment by softbank. what are you learning about this? reporter: i have to say not a lot of detail coming from the trump transition team or the company tonight. but certainly a little showmanship on the part of the president elect today really trotting out on the ceo of the company and trump towers there before cameras gathered. contours of the deal are $50 ....
i think what we need to focus on, whether it is black or white or or straight, making sure that we have hate crime laws like this throughout the country, that protect people like this individual that was brutalized by those four maniacs. to be when i don t believe in hate crimes laws. i don t think we should prosecute people based on their thoughts. you don t think is a hate crime? tucker: i think hate is involved, i m merely saying it is a separate category. i m also opposed to lying and downplaying something that is obvious. it is clear that this man s race and political position played a role. absolutely. tucker: that is not all clear from the accounts that were prevalent today. the associated press, and the first account, didn t measure tl angles. i wonder why that was. i don t know. what i can say here, the charges came down from the prosecutor, the final arbiter, there is no arbiter of the case. people reporting the facts, which is, this individual was charged ....
does it affect to change reality here? do they believe that two-state system is impossible, that is the talk in israel. now, that it is appears to be the new framework for a discussion, that is a fundamental change. special correspondent for the network, 25, 26 years. good to see you, thank you for popping in it you saw this news conference. play identity here a few minutes ago, the president and the prime minister as well. what struck you most from what we heard from the two gentlemen? what struck me most, netanyahu arriving, and the press conference, if i was a palestinian leader looking at this i would be deeply concerned. it was a love-in between the trumps and the netanyahus, that means between israel and the united states. there it was a mention that netanyahu made about the movement, the friendship with trump, saying, it was long overdue. a side mention of the relationship between he and president obama for a long time. that is what struck me. it is a new deck of ca ....
and glove with the president on selling the healthcare plan, the president sends out four tweets about predecessor wiretapping him. did that help or hurt? that was not part of the campaign trail. how far off course did that take you? i think it was there s really often into new territory. there is part of what the intelligence kmo committee is investigating. late today, the justice department told them it immediate more time to review the request. the spokesperson sean spicer said the president made the stupid charge. spicer dodged some of the wiretapped him. now they are trying to weasel out of it. i think the grown up here is mccain who saying put up or shut up. they have gotten away with the fantasy that there were 3 million fraudulent votes casts. this president does not get called into account for putting out false statements. even though it involves something of historic magnitude an it doesn t seem to stick with donald trump when he fly out lie ....
another seems to open. enter, the new york times front page story of a secret plan by trump associates said to be backed by kremlin about the armed conflict with russian allied forces within its own borders. in other words, while the fbi s investigating an alleged back channel during the election between russia and the trump campaign, there may be another previously undisclosed back channel between russia and known trump associates. but before we dive into the times report, a little context. throughout the entire russia controversy, the president has repeatedly denied having any russian business ties. i own nothing in russia. i have no loans in russia. i don t have any deals in russia. russia is fake news. russia is fake news. but that s a relatively recent claim. in 2008, for instance, donald trump jr. told an interviewer, russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets, say in dubai and certainly with our project in soho. we see a lot ....
