declaration of independence, abraham lincoln s top hat from his fatal night at ford s theater, and jaclyn kenny with her new born son taken in 1960. tucker is up next. tucker: good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. for months you ve watched politicians and journalists assert with confidence that last november s election was in fact a sham. he was not a wake-up call to the political people, it was not a cry for help from the crumbling barn harlan, it wasn t a sign that the ruling class is corrupt or the government was need of reform. it was none of that. it was a fluke engineered by the russian government because they are evil and they hate our values. so far there is not been much proof that any of this actually happened or any proof at all, but we did loon tunick learned tonight that the president trump sat with blood where prudent at dinner, but any case all of this russian narrative has changed the rules here in washington maybe forever. the russians are ....
so many ways to look at this. because you asked about sean, that s one way. another way is also what this says, maybe much more importantly, about the president of the united states, and how he has learned from the first six months about the way he wants to craft his white house with people who are loyal to him. people who know him, who are new yorkers. and are much more fluent in the language of trump than in the ways of washington. we re going to talk much more about that. jen palmieri, white house comes director for president obama and of course, you will know her from the hillary clinton campaign where she also served chief of communications there. jen, thanks for joining us. give us your reaction to this. all right. can jen? can you hear me? all right. we re going to try to work out the connection with jen palmieri, we ll bring her in soon as we have her. going to scaramucci, and i m sure sean believes that he s not the right guy for the job. and he d been we were ....
want and i will vote yet. dean heller is the only republican standing for reelection in a state that went for hillary clinton. and he has a fellow republican who is the governor who doesn t like this bill. he s in a tougher place. i m not exactly sure what mitch mcconnell could come up with that would move mr. heller into the yes column. his rhetoric has been pretty emphatic. if you have got rand paul who is the least likely of the 10 at the conservative end and dean heller at the more moderate end, if heller thinks it s too frugal, the more you push it one way and make it more generous, you will lose the frugal folks. arthel: let s take a listen. this is still a work in progress. though the leader of the united states senate is very good at establishing coalitions to see that legislation passes. but it s still a lot of work to be done to determine whether it gets to 51 votes. maria: what is your gut? do you think it happens this week? my gut tells me this is very difficul ....
democrats. members of congress here here from both sides of the aisle to talk about wa happened today. let s turn back to the breaking news, the washington post explosive report that the president of the united states is currently under a criminal investigation for the obstruction of justice. responding in a statement, a spokesman for the president s attorney did not dispute the post report, saying only the fbi leak of information regarding the president is outrageous, inexcusable, and illegal. joining me now, the washington post s sari horwitz, one of the reporters who broke this tire. sari, this would seem to confirm what james comey appeared to indicate, what many have been sort of hinting at, but squarely you guys have nailed down that apparently robert mueller is looking at obstruction of justice. yes. you re right, chris, that the former fbi director in his testimony did seem to be laying out a case of possible obstruction. but what we found out that, indeed, the speci ....
everything i have been a able to decipher up to now, half the benefits go to the top 1%. i have been in congress a long time. i remember another president who was able to railroad a tax code through the congress during the 1980s. and the wall street bankers the corporate presidents took that money and outsourced our jobs from the region of the country that i represent. so there s no requirement that money be invested in america. even if they get it. so it s a really lopsided to the top to the same class that is has cause sod many of the problems we re facing today in regions like i represented. frankly, as a member of the defense committee, i have to say we re a nation at war and for any president who be sort of hanging out at a tax cut to the very wealthy at a time we re at war, there isn t a veteran in his family. i think it s really dangerous and no matter who they are, trump or the establishment character like mitch mcconnell, they are obsessed with the estate tax. they ....
