wish to opine. one of the day do do not be spurious when writing to us. things are watching tonight, i am bill o'reilly. please remember that "the spin stops here" ." we're definitely looking out for you. >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." in an ideal world, the revelation that susan rice deliberately unmask the names of trump tenses and team members put selves into self reflection. consideration that may be of political appointees by on her ideological flows without restriction could be a poor idea and a democracy, but were not an ideal world it all. instead, all that talk about election hacking by russian saboteurs. >> for whatever reason, the hard right has always chosen susan rice to be their villain. >> not only was russia behind the attacks, that's what the purpose to help term.

>> this attack that we've experienced as a form of war. it's a form of war on our fundamental democratic principles. >> it's amazing that in that relatively small campaign, small circle so to speak, that you would have so many people with so many deep connections to russia. my impression is i wouldn't be a rise that after all is said and done, some people end up in jail. >> tucker: they're going to jail. by the hysteria, looks like the rice story will be here for a while. trump a claim that rice may have committed a crime.e. rice's spokesman described that is ludicrous. matt miller once ran the department of justice, he joins us now. so we've had every night for the past three months of debate on this show on the facts of the case and i'm agnostic. i think russia probably wants to do bad things to the united states and always has. but what do we know? we still don't know anything. and so what i'd like to ask you about tonight is the

psychological component to this. is there a purpose for democratt to make all policy discussions about vladimir putin and russia a purpose beyond just sort of answering why they lost? >> i think the purpose for democrats and i would hope it'sy the purpose for republicans as well is to findcr out what happened. i think the biggest question is was there collusion between the trump campaign in trump associates and the russian intelligence services and,mp investigating a question of one committee at and congress is investigating well and another is humbled its investigation. that's the reason. >> tucker: the mounties are on the case. the fbi and i presume you're not suggesting they're in the pocket of the trump administration. and you've got the congressional committee is working on this som good hands. but the obsession with -- just say so. >> i wouldn't say it's in good hands. >> tucker: the department of justice is on this.

you think we just came back and say we will find out and make judgments them. instead you saw the montage we ran. you have one congressman which member of the intel committee saying thatre people attacking susan rice are racist. then you have another member of congress saying he knows exactly why vladimir putin does this, he is in his head somehow. they're declaring war and you have a fourth saying people should go to jail.e and talk about getting overve that. this is a psychological condition at this point.et they don't know anything we don't know and yet they're calling for jail. that's crazy. >> i think we know that the president of the united states is under a federal criminal investigation into whether his campaign colluded with the russians. that is potentially the most serious scandal in american history. we know that the president of the united states in the campaign said things very favorable to russia.ou we know that as president, he equated what happened to united states vladimir putin murdering of journalists, ordering of dissidents. even if there was no collusion,

what the president has done to endorse and is bad enough. >> tucker: today, his administration indicated in public out loud that we're ready to go to war in syria. that is directly at odds with russia's central foreign policy right now. that's not doing the bidding with vladimir putin. that's the opposite of it and the democrats are so addled with the insanity of this conspiracye that they don't even recognize that's happening. >> i think it's a desire to find out what happened. >> tucker: if trump is doing the bidding of unseen russian saboteurs and vladimir putin himself, why in the world would he be attacking russian involvement in syria today and threatening war? >> let's see what happens.t let's not ignore the fact that several days ago, his administration said getting rid of assad is no longer a priority. something of huge reversal ofon u.s. policy. several days later, lo andd

behold, assad green lights gas on people. >> tucker: that's a fair criticism.en if your point is is he doing the bidding of vladimir putin you're insane. you see the difference? houses doing the bidding of thought and repute in? >> this one isolated thing. if you look at it today. if you like the pattern of trump's behavior, his repeated calls for the breakup of the european union with united kingdom leaving the e.u., playing footsie with nationalist parties in france, undermining k our allies and angela merkel and germany. those are all things that wants. >> i have friends who are democrats who are rational high iq people who make the same phone and they sound like larouche followers. they take things that are not connected and string them together into this theory of everything. are you really saying that anyone who is in favor of bags it or suspicious of

multinational organizations like nato or the u.n. is on payton's side? that's unreasonable. >> course not. i'm talking about all of the troubling patterns. if these were just donald trump's isolated policy positions and there wasn't this history of contacts between campaign, there was collusion being investigated but the fbi has found contact between the campaign. if we didn't have donald trump in public in the middle of theou campaign calling on the russian intelligence services to find hillary clinton's email, this campaign benefiting from a russian intelligence, that we might sit back and go yeah, they're isolated. >> tucker: i'm trying to take you seriously. again, i'm not a supporter of vladimir putin's. but you're alleging a secure? conspiracy so fast it undermines the foundations of our democracy. there are thousands of russian citizens living in the united states, heavily concentrated in and around new york city. they potentially pose a security threat. do you believe we should and turn them until such time as we find that they don't pose a threat.

>> of course not. that's silly. that's absolutely silly. >> tucker: if there are unseen russian actors to undermined. >> we don't put people in prison that we cannot prove committed a crime. and it was one of the biggest embarrassments in our history. >> tucker: i didn't support it then. should we take action against russia?ne of the trend to undermine our wouldn't we attack them quebec's big wish and take military action because we don't want to start world war iii.r >> tucker: your senator from maryland said this is an act of war according to democrats so why wouldn't we. f >> i don't think it was an act of war. i think it was an act to subvert, to undermine our democracy. i don't think the next thing to suggest that we go into nuclear war. >> tucker: i am not a democrat democrat. >> we need to get to the bottom of what happened. the sideshow says donald trump has tried to do. split is only one line for inquiry in america.

why did susan rice a political appointee spy on members of his transition? you're doing the bidding of putin. my question is what does this have to do with the last election? maybe russia was one of them. but the democratic party has to figure out how to win back the country and how to serve the country. has nothing to do with the oil. crisis or the wage crisis or income equality, which is real or automation. has anyone spent time thing c about those things and not justh putin? >> of course we are. i think it's possible to do more than one thing at a time. it is possible to go back and work on a message, it's possible to focus on solving the opioid process. we shouldn't ignore the fact that the president of the united states might be ignoring it. >> tucker: it is consumed all newsroom inn every america and the fbi andoo the commercial commodities. here's my question. it's not a non sequitur. the opioid courses his killing ten times the amount of people. anyone in washington behaving as

if this is a civilization ending crisis, which is is. talking about russia or, i think it's frivolous. do you agree? >> i would disagree that the president of the dead states being under criminal investigation is frivolous. you don't think that's important?s >> tucker: is to serve their voters in the democratic party lost millions of people who had voted democrats and had been devoted to trauma.li has there been any people sitting down saying let's put it aside. and talk deeply about why wouldn't appeal to them? it has a month thought of that? 's people you're equating to things for it on the political side, there absolutely is a conversation we need to have about how to win the next election. the concerns we have about donald trump are serious concerns about the government of the united states and whether it was subverted by a foreign power and whether there are people in the white house who had close ties. as big whenever had to someone

about this, there's a lack of blinking that freaks me out and i think your going to give me a flower or something. no offense to you. thanks for joining us. well, there is plenty more to be learned about susan rice's behaviorbe about all of this but democrats are already declaring her totally exonerated. today, congressman of california said this. >> it certainly is of theory in search of villain and the reason the hard right has always chosen susan rice to be there villain. >> tucker: but is it really that simple?se as american citizens, you'd think we have the right to know if our government was spying on us and to what extent they might be spying on us. we also would have the right to be skeptical when a political e appointee with a long trackwe record of lying in public admits to spying on her political enemy and claims it was no political intent. at the very least, you might s want to know more about that, wouldn't you? but you don't have that right, says congressman. be quiet, stop talking, anyone who asks questions must be a tool of donald trump or more

likely of the criminal in itself. a disloyal american in other words working for the benefit of a hostile foreign power, trader. when did this happen? the left used to care about civil liberties a lot more theei republicans in a lot of cases but that was 50 years ago. now the progressives control america's most powerful institutions, questioning the establishment as a threat to their authority. the civil liberties of individual americans have come with the limitation on their power so they ignore them. liberals have become the man and the rest of us can just shut up and obey. time now for twitter storm. our forecast of the most powerful weather patterns. our friends brit hume and the former obama white house advisor

ben rhodes. it all started with brit retweeted a fox news story about don lemon refusing to cover the susan rice story. he tweeted this, is just amazing. the story is clearly news and refusing to report it is not the behavior of a news organization. doesn't seem controversial. but ben rhodes replied this way, "bullying people into covering routine work of any senior national security official as news is a clear effort too distract the questions about trump and russia."ct the russia thing again. brit responded this way. "bullying? please." if it was so routine, why did rice falsely claim on pbs she knew nothing about it came back" great question. why are you lying about it. ben rhodes responded this way, another response to brit who said "not one single intel expert has asserted anything, but men daily routine. stop chasing trump's fantasies." nothing to see here, be quiet and obey. that's our twitter storm. up next, there are 5-year-olds who weren't alive last time the u.s. toppled a middle easternex government.

that's mean it's time for a new war. we'll debate it was a republican senator. despite warnings from the trump administration, some cities are still deciding to become centuries for illegal aliens credible talk to the mayor of lansing, michigan, who seemed determined to turn down federal funds. we'll ask him why. stay tuned. s. s. we'll askyou always pay

u.s. do about that? the washington forces appear to be gearing up for war in syria. donald trump repeatedly agreedas to keep the u.s. out of the conflict but today indicatedru that position could change. >> i think the obama administration had a great opportunity to solve this crisis a long time ago when he said the red line in the sand. and when he didn't cross that line after making the threat, i think that set us back a long ways, not only in syria but in many parts of the world because it was a blank threat. i think it was something that was not one of our better days of the country. >> tucker: meanwhile, u.n. ambassador nikki haley also warned of a possible war there. watch.nw >> yesterday morning, we awoke to pictures to children foaming at the mouth, suffering convulsions, being carried in the arms of desperate parents. when the united nations

consistently fails in its duty to act collectively, there are times in the states that we are compelled to take our own action. >> tucker: represents oklahoma and serves on theut homeland security and intelligence committee. she joins us tonight. the first thing that struck me about ambassador haley's remarks apart from how horrifying this gas attack was her certainty about who did it. it i'm willing to believe the assad government did it.ie they've done it before. but this took place 24 hours before she made the statement. it's an incredibly complex country with the number of actors we don't even know. that seems unknowable. how could anybody know for certain who did this 24 hours later? >> aircraft flying over the area when explosions happen, only to folks who do that and the area and that would be the russians and the syrians, assad. so we can be pretty confident

that it wasn't the rebel forces flying any kind of aircraft over there. they don't have aircraft to be able to fly. see you can't have a great deal of certainty on and this is not the first time that we've seen assad use chemical weapons. he is used chemical weapons year after year after year. there's a lot of focus on it for years ago when he was using chemical weapons but his continued use chlorine gas.'v because this not a defense of k the a assad or jima or their attacks of war, merely an acknowledgment that i've heard many people say we know for certain they went to buy the and we know that.we and to base policy on summing 24 hours later does seem premature. >> that is an area that we watch closely in the intelligence community. we're able to track and see flights coming in and out andat able to watch and have satellite view on what's happening on the ground to be contracted today with the occurring. we have pretty good eyes in the sky what's occurring. >> i will grant that for the sake of argument. to progress this idea, common among everyone in washington in order to fight isis, we need to take out assad. of course he is fighting isis, maybe imprecisely and ineffectively.

how would that work? it makes isis stronger? s >> isis is really burst out of 2 conflict that fell apart. one of them, isis is fightingea against assad and the other is the vacuum that was created in iraq. assad has been a ruthless thug killing his own people the civil war that rose up there in syria, fighting against him. isis is simply joining into that. a lot of recruiting worldwide, joining them fighting against assad. so isis main recruiting tool has been assad and if you go back to the earliest days of the civil war everyone in the region was focused on one thing, theas removal of assad. because of the idea that you take out the guy that isis doesn't like will make isis weaker. pardon my skepticism but it does raise the question if you take them out, we could just push tomorrow if we wanted. who would run syria?

>> that has been the issue that they locked up on years.ot they're waiting for someone organically to grow up and be the big dog in the area that everyone respect. that's not going to happen. there is no unified rebel force fighting against assad. it is a whole collection of basically neighborhood watch groups that this town all know that there life depends on assad going down. they're not unified with each other. they fighting for their familief and also fighting against assad. is the key thing that i hear from leaders in the area as we have got to have united states engaged to help select the next leader of the international community come behind them and basically find a horse and be able to bet on that horse. this is about rand's involvement.t the big issue here is around. >> i heard that exact argument was in iraq and that in fact was to increase the power of iran over iraq. verbatim, we should stay the hill out of syria. the rebels are just as bad as the current ridging. what you beget for our lives? zero. that's from donald trump at 2013. he went on to say how would you treat syria as president? i would let them all fight each other and focus on the united states, make our country

great again. stay out of syria. do not attack syria. bad things will happen. how did the guy who ran on not attacking syria wind up today with no warning at all encouraging, hinting at a war with syria? >> the engagement with syria and the way that happens is you get the intelligence information, tracking what's happening on the ground, deal with the realities of 4 million refugees scattered all around the world. destabilizing the entire region, see women and children gasping for their lives and realize the entire world is waiting on the united states to make a decision. >> tucker: the dissidents executes people for their body parts. once you make samantha power the moral excess of other countries a justification for going to war with them, where does it stop? >> does have a direct effect on us and that is the issue. isis wants him do us harm. al qaeda finding in their region means to do us harm. these are folks that have planned and correlated and prepared attacks to be able to come and the big issue with syria still is iran. iran is trying to form what they call their crescent running everything from lebanon all the

way to yemen. they are a direct threat when t they move into syria and a right next to israel. if you want to be with the stabilize the democracy and the eight area like israel and stay with allies there keep living unstable, stable as was happening. you've got to be able to stabilize what's happening in syria. >> tucker: up next, lansing, michigan, just made itself a sanctuary city besides mornings, they will lose federal funds. they've accidentally been breaking the water in flint. went from senator to the president very fast with very little vetting from the press.y a new biography coming out next month, talks about his life before the senate. got new details on that. stay tuned. senate. stay tuned. senate. got new details on that. it's the simple things in life that mean the most. boost® simply complete™. no artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners, plus 10 grams of protein

you're fair.th >> tucker: i try to be fair and i also try to get to what are the principal is underneath the policy. i just want to know when it's okay for cities to ignore federal law? just kind of going forward. >> probably never. i think we have a federal system as you know, you're pretty smart guy. i was hoping wett were going toe able to have a smart discussion. i passed an executive order i'm sure you have a copypy of it that we think comports with federal law. my attorney looked at it and we discussed at length with my chief of police and it basically put in writing was already in our notice operon day. it was what we're doing but we didn't have a written policy. i thought it was important at this time to put it into writing so there is no confusion with our officers or our citizens. sometimes you have to go back and look this stuff up because we have federal state and local. and we have responsibilities. my number one job is to keep people safe. iak take it very seriously. for 12 years i have been mayor and public safety is job one. after that, economic development

so of donald trump or jeff sessions think that they canha increase sessions in our community, and be happy to have a discussion with them about it. we are not ready to federalize a our local lansing police department. >> tucker: they are not asking you to federalize, but not to subvert thatbv oral law and i don't think legally it's your prerogative to do i've asked other mayors the same that. question. if your position suddenly became that we are not going to enforce the federal laws on tax evasion or child pornography or gun possession and, people look at you and say you don't get to do that because you don't read the federal laws, your subject to what?nd you would say i don't feel like it? what would be your response? >> i'd say this and again, this is great. let's have a recent discussion. let's bring in fbi. we have a great relationship with federal authorities. fbi, atf, and ice. it is not attacked on relationship rate we rely on them, they rely on us. when we need them, their their most the time and when they nee, us, we are there.n

they say go catch john doe violent criminal, we cut their backs.reth but we are not -- we've got about two dozen officers at any given time for 120,000 people and citizens. immigration enforcement is not a priority for us. it just isn't. but to keep the queen be safe. we are not immigration officers. >> tucker: you're going to lose as you know because the attorney general announced it, federal funding which i know that you rely upon. >> i don't believe that for a minute. >> tucker: they are telling you what is going to happen if they push it and can get it done. >> i'm telling you i'm willing to fight them. i'm telling you i'm willing to fight them. >> tucker: apparently you are. >> this is a system of laws. >> tucker: i'm aware of that. got it. you're saying you're ignoring those laws because you want to and you're losing federal funding. if your job is to protect the city will come a should do what you can for the people of

lansing, why would you risk that step to make a moral statement? >> i didn't look for this fight. this fight found me.l i'm trying to avoid this fight.r public safety is my job. i didn't wait for jeff sessions or donald trump read i've been keeping the citizens safe. don't get me wrong. j they're doing the heavy lifting. were not looking for donald trump's leadership and if you want to talk about what makes people safe, what makess people safe in terms of the police's relationships with community. it's about building bridges and bridging policing. it's about civility. >> tucker: i've heard this a thousand times in the asset same question every times or perhaps you can answer it.r: you have any social science since criminology is a species of that that shows that when you don't enforce immigration laws at the local level your city get safer? that there is a causal relationship between the two? you have any research on that?

>> this is the research we have. community policing works and again, what i issued myy executive order is a statement of what were already doing. crime is going down in lansingng and we build -- we believe in community policing. we believe the police have to have -- and this is something my police studies and talks to other chiefs. they're about building relationships with the community and building credibility and police legitimacy.s if you're saying that occupying force in seeing an occupying force that people don't trust. >> tucker: an occupying force in your own country, people come into your country illegally,y, your job is to enforce the laws of police officers and you somehow feel guilty because you're an occupying force in a city that you live in, that youl country, how does that work? all of a sudden you're oppressing them?oe >> with all due respect, but i'm talking about is that our police have worked hard to build a relationship. it's what we do. again, we have a federal system. it's not too much.

it's easy for white men like us to say that who are in the majority who enjoy what we enjoy, but the fact is produced when i was taking you seriously in the beginning, but now it's the finish. and a white man. >> try to walk in another man's shoes pretty walk a mile in somebody else's shoes. >> how about believing in laws? >> where a government of laws and not of men which is why we believe that what we have is working.aw >> slow down.. white men's views are less valuable? i'm being judged because my skin color? that i thought it's unfair pretty now i think it is fair. you would attack people on their skin color. >> by considering somebody else's perspective, that's all. did you ever get pulled over for driving while white? >> tucker: now are just getting into completely crazy talk. f you're making generalizations based on race and to meeting your offer.

we are out of time. >> keeping people safe is what we do. >> tucker: spare me.ti >> it's what we do every day. >> tucker: good luck, mr. mayor. 16 million speak language at home and that number is rising weight quicker than many may realize. it's critical that they make english the official language to keep the country together. if anke trump's last name has made her one of those hated cmen in america, how the first daughter is punching back afterg critics. stay tuned. ated women in america, how the the ft daughter is punching back after critics. stay tuned. hey, ready for the big meeting? yeah. uh, hello!? a meeting? it's a big one. too bad. we are double booked: diarrhea and abdominal pain. why don't you start without me? oh. yeah. if you're living with frequent, unpredictable diarrhea and abdominal pain, you may have... ...irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea, or ibs-d. a condition that can be really frustrating.

>> tucker: americas historically been an english-speaking country for the last several hundred years but increasingly that is not the case.ha in 1980, 89% of americans spoke english in the home. that figure has fallen dramatically as today more than

20%, 60 million people speak something other than english at home. increasingly the u.s. is a multilingual country. in california the biggest state voters just repeal the law that required english lessons or school lessons and public schools be taught in english. the head of u.s. english decided to make english the country's official language. you speak five languages, born in chile, international person. you're not against other languages. what you think it's important to mexico i speak spanish at home with my american wife. >> tucker: was important to make english the national language? >> because it's always like most things in life, it's difficult to pass in this country. english is the language of the world today. i travel all over the world almost every month. when i'm in this country, my country, i speak english, and if you speak to me in any other language, i would answer you in any other language. we who speak english or not against people who speak other languages.

we are against idea of the government functioning and other languages like belgium that you mentioned the other day, et cetera. >> tucker: because it divides the country. >> we were founded by a linguist and cement assists in 1983 home, he was himself an immigrant. he came to this country and he was very concerned that the country would be eventually divided along linguistic lines. like ukraine end. russians speaking the other side, ukrainians speaking and lobby for instance. many, many countries have that problem. >> tucker: at such an obvious point and yet the resistance to this is very strong. here he read on the photo sent a couple years ago described it as racist.

what is the motivation? >> you just ruined my dinner. >> tucker: i felt the same way. what's the motivation for people who don't want english to be the national language? >> there are several motivations. generally, 83% of people in this country have proof of it being it an official language. it's not on what is called progressives or leftists might call them anarchists in thisic country bread we have a group of people, a small group makes a lot of noise but who are trying to divide the country along t linguistic lines and, along with, along everything. and what we're trying to do is absolutely normal. instead of trying to function anyone of the 350 languages that we have in this country, we want the government to teach english to immigrants and to help them assimilate. they have a system where if you emigrate to israel, they give you money so you don't have to work for six months. they send you to a full time and

you learn how to be in every israeli, you learn how to speak hebrew, et cetera. they help you assimilate. e and that's what we should do in this country. >> tucker: because they don't hate themselves maybe that's the key. were out of time unfortunately. i could talk to you for hours. great to see you. t up next, an actress is lashing out at the first lady of the united states for not selling the jewelry off her hands. you won't guess who the actors in question is. we'll have our panel of experts coming up. various: (shouting) heigh! ho!

always listens. it's how he loves in business, it's how he is as president. >> tucker: aaron elmore is a former campaign spokesman, and julia turner worked at the security council during the bush and obama the years and both a join us tonight on the set. firstly you, is she a spokeswoman for her father? >> absolutely. i think she's been kind of the golden media child since day one of the campaign. it seems like there are no design of her own. she doesn't seem to be excited about giving media. she hasn't done a lot. that's partially why this interview was a big deal because she's not out there every day in front of the cameras defendinghy herself, defending her father. if you watch the interview, the first half really kind of read like an indictment hearing. laundrythrough a whole list of criticisms at her. the first ten questions all began with you been criticized for, or your codex has said this. >> tucker: kind of like they did with kelsey during the

clinton years. >> exact like that. chelsea was a little younger, she got a pass.>> it would be different. it was a good interview and a sense that it was wide ranging in spite of the criticisms. she got to share and policy positions and she also got to share a little bit of her personal life which was great. she talked about living in d.c. and coming from new york and all of that kind of thing.ki >> i think she's a terrific spokeswoman and she is obviously so articulate and poison seems like a really nice person. but her views are not the views of most trump voters from what i can tell at all. does that matter? >> i looked at her a lot, interviewed her and settledd different topics and she always describes herself as apolitical. but the issues that she felt strongly about our women's issues, school choice, child care, reporting taxes to be more beneficial for women so i think she's drawing in a whole new audience that benefits her father as well. we went interesting. try this one on for size.

that the republican is president, the first lady is expected to dress like a poor person. wealthy actress alyssa milana attacked melania trump for wearing rings on your fingers in her official portrait. those rings can be sold to feed the poor. which i guess they could be. i thought that many times as i watched barbara tries to back streisand. >> out fancy tile you've got over there. don't think we didn't notice.e. >> tucker: thank you. is that a fair criticism? >> no. she now what was worse? she's worth $45 million. she's not living in a shack by the beach. she is living in a $1.3 million house in beverly hills. i shame on her for being another limousine liberal. >> tucker: a house iner beverly hills is really not in. >> if you're worth 45, what would you only have a $1.3 million house?

i would go a little bigger. >> to the point is she's not giving all her money to the poor. >> tucker: melania trump seems to me, what do i know, someone who recoils from politics anduc does not want to be a symbol of anything and does not want to be involved in the debates. why the effort to pull her into this? >> people are desperate to pull her into this. every day, theirs is pressured to get her to washington, to live in the white house with the president, a huge deal is made about the fact that she is separate and apart from her husband for six months. people don't like it. i don't quite understand that part of it. i don't understand is that the more traditional part of the debate, recoiling at the idea that this woman wouldn't sort of follow her husband whom, the highest in the light but my client. >> tucker: its total war. trump is so evil that there's nothing you can do. >> his supporters criticize thee same thing.

why are they together? why did she stay with baron instead of going with her husband? my point being, the criticisms coming from different sides. not all from levels i don't think.ci stu and i don't ask questions on people's marriages. good to see you. up next, you might think after eight years you know pretty much everything, may be more than you want to know about president obama but a biographer says that is not the case. it got a new book coming out nextr month. he's not talking. that is stopped us from getting intriguing revelations from that book on obama's life before the presidency. stay tuned for that. vers? yeah... yeah, then how'd i get this... ...allstate safe driving bonus check? ...only allstate sends you a bonus check for every six months you're accident free. silence. it's good to be in, good hands.

just checking my free credit score at credit karma. what the? you're welcome. i just helped you dodge a bullet. but i was just checking my... shhhhh... don't you know that checking your credit score lowers it. just be cool. actually, checking your credit score with credit karma doesn't affect it at all. are you sure? positive. huh, so i guess i could just check my credit score then. oh! check out credit karma today. credit karma. give yourself some credit. sorry about that. hi, i'm frank. i take movantik for oic, opioid-induced constipation. had a bad back injury, my doctor prescribed opioids which helped with the chronic pain, but backed me up big-time. tried prunes, laxatives, still constipated... had to talk to my doctor. she said, "how long you been holding this in?" (laughs) that was my movantik moment.

my doctor told me that movantik is specifically designed for oic and can help you go more often. don't take movantik if you have a bowel blockage or a history of them. movantik may cause serious side effects, including symptoms of opioid withdrawal, severe stomach pain and/or diarrhea, and tears in the stomach or intestine. tell your doctor about any side effects and about medicines you take. movantik may interact with them causing side effects. why hold it in? have your movantik moment. talk to your doctor about opioid-induced constipation. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. so how old do you want uhh, i was thinking around 70. alright, and before that? you mean after that? no, i'm talking before that. do you have things you want to do before you retire? oh yeah sure... ok, like what? but i thought we were supposed to be talking about investing for retirement? we're absolutely doing that. but there's no law you can't make the most of today. what do you want to do? i'd really like to run with the bulls. wow. yea. hope you're fast. i am. get a portfolio that works for you now and as your needs change.

investment management services from td ameritrade. >> tucker: there's probably no better way to put your entire life history under the microscope than to run for president, but astonishingly the haone big exception to this rule appears to be barack obama. considering how quickly he rose to national prominence, much of his past underwent amazingly little vetting before he became the president as many have noticed. now a new biography may prove that the making of barack obama appears to fill in some of the

gaps yearsap ago. hosted his own podcast and has talked to the author of this book a couple of times. thanks a lot. thanks for joining us.s. this book comes out next month but was amazingly as talking to your conversations about him, american apparently got material after obama left office that nobody else got. what is there left to know about him after 10-year office in the public eye coursework he left at the idea that he has been so well coverage. in fact he said there's not even a good magazine article about obama's time in the state f legislature. i got him to open up on some things that he will reveal in this book. one of them is a -- he found ath manuscript that president obama wrote with his best friend athe harvard at the time, at harvard law school that's 200 pages long, 140 pages on the race. may have derailed his run for

president. >> tucker: render the guy called robert fisher who i have never seen interviewed ever, we got a copy on an excerpt of this book, it's almost 1500 pages long, we've got a small part of it, this never publish menes escaped from barack obama, which is admittedly a racist culture precisely because american society is so racist, cannot realistically expect white america to make special concessions to blacks over the long haul. the greatest testimony to the forge of racist ideology as it affect not only the minds of whites but the minds of blacks as well. he goes on to say it's so racist you have to sneak reforms passed white people. >> if an opposition researcheryo in 2008, this is the type of thing in our politics today that could derail a presidential candidate. but he is so critical of the media and their attempts to vent

obama but he thinks they did a terrible job. for instance he raised obama's biography, he was amazed that the media took that kind of on skeptically as if that was ath pure nonfiction book that everything he said was fact.t. he's alluding in his biography he's going to pick parts some of that. >> tucker: garo was a liberal, g i think he's a bernie voter, he's an academic, he has written extensively on the civil rightss movement. he's not a right to bring her in anyway. is it your impression of that there are things in this book that are going to shock readers? >> that's what he said he said there's a lot of in this book that's not known, go to shock readers and reshape how we view? president obama whether you're a conservative or liberal. >> tucker: so striking how little we know even at this point. thanks a lot for the preview of that, it will be a big deal when it comes in next month. that's about it for us tonight, the show that is a sworn enemy of mine, pomposity, smugness and especially of groupthink and

that's pretty common. "hannity" is up next, don't miss it, have a great night, see you tomorrow. ♪ >> sean: welcome to "hannity," and tonight in just a few minutes, sara carter, bill bennett will all join us, but first from the very moment that president trump put his hand on the bible and to swear an oath to protect and defend this great country, the alt radical left just right from the media, they have been working overtime tolt push their partisan agenda and destroy president trump's presidency. the big question tonight, why did the obama administration unmask members of the trump transition team and maybe even the president-elect candidates trump himself ? why did they weapon eyes and politicize the use of raw intelligence? that is tonight's
