>> i'm erin burnett. breaking news, defiant and speaking out, trump former campaign aide sam nunberg refusing to comply. >> this is exactly what the white house did not want to hear. you have to wonder. what does sam nunberg really know? >> unprecedented comments from the former trumpcare campaign aide. >> have never witnessed anything like this. >> tucker: who writes news copy? russian bots. non-english speakers for sure. sam nunberg speaking out! who is sam nunberg?re he was a pretty obscure part-time political consultant from new york city who is currently been strugglingg witha substance abuse problem. he's actually pretty nice guy but you probably never heard of them. almost nobody had heard of them. now the media are telling you that nunberg could be the key to this whole scandal.

unlike john dean, nunberg was nowhere near the decisions pretty were to the low level of the term campaign. he left almost a year and a half before the election. if there was a rush of conspiracy, sam nunberg would not know anything about it. more likely, what was going on yesterday, nunbergrg brilliantly played the press. it turns out friday he is talking to robert mueller'st investigators which is another measure ofhi how absurd this independent counsel investigation is if you're to sam nunberg. others have been charged with perjury after doing interviews with mueller's investigators. nunberg will not be. why? he just admitted in public to being an alcoholic and then acted like a lunatic on television for hours. it's the perfect preemptive insanity defense. mueller can't c indict him. after yesterday, no jury would convict sam nunberg. was that nunberg is planned? we don't know. if it was coming out of the people interviewing him yesterday would've figured it out because there is nobody dumber than most cable news

hosts at cnn and msnbc. how dumb? dumb enough to see russian saboteurs under every bed. russia, the actual country, is grim and hopeless. it's got a lower than replacement birthrate.n it's got waning power on the world stage. one military base outside its borders. it's not a major player anymore. but the imaginary russia, the one you can television every night, has never been more powerful. the dnc and nbc news, vladimir putin is diabolical and omnipotent. putin put trump in office. he gave the senate nomination alabama to run more. he empower the nra. he likely handpicked seasoned masters of espionage like sam nunberg and carter page to undermine our democracy. it is delusional. they ferventlyly believe it. meanwhile, back in the real world, evidence mounts that the actual problem is not the russians are vladimir putin. it is the corrupt and decadent and resolutely stupid leadership of our own elite.

that's why trump got elected. in reaction to them. that's why the european union is in the process of collapsing. this weekend in italy, when we ere talking about speed 25, the ruling party there was crushed while antiestablishment candidates won big. voters of the pool showed were deeply unhappy with economic policycy that had enriched a few while stealing the future from young people. they hated the immigration policies out of crush their culture under waves of migrants. sound familiar? there as here, the elites have failed. they can't admit that. they can't face their own failures. instead they blame the unseen hand of russia. former obama official samantha power said that out loud in a tweet. russia won the italian election, she explained. maybe samantha power and her friends and msnbc and the rest have no choice but to keep pretending n. if the ruling class admitted the truth about russia, they would have to take responsibility for their own ineptitude and failures and they won't. the insanity continues. christy setzer is a democratic

strategist, and a connoisseur of the russia story. this italian thing happen. i'm not saying it still is more than to happen this year but it's another domino that is leading clearly toward the dissolution of the european union, toward the order in europe and in this country. russia did that? >> it's possible they played a role. it's possible. we have seen, ande these two things can t both be true at the same time.gs it can be true that organically, independently we are seeing across the globe these movements that are populist that are anti-immigrant that have a lot of different things in common. and also it being true that-i russia sort of is stirring the pot. we have recently found out that russian trolls were spending a million dollars a month in 2016 in the u.s. elections to stir the pot, influence our elections. on tucker: weight. democrats bend over a billion dollars.

i am not saying russia is not trying to destabilize the united states. i am saying it's irrelevant. if you look at the poll numbers, they pretty consistently show that people are dissatisfied with the leadership of the people in charge. that's why trump got elected. as my brexit happened. that's why scandinavia is about to turn. that's why we almost had marine le pen in france. the elites, rather than accept responsibility, blame and unseen foreign. >> i think both things can be true. it's true on one hand that there was unrest among the country that was unhappy with the leaders that they had been given for the last i don't know, decade. at the same time, it's also true that russia has been grooming donald trump for years. that's what the steele dossier said. >> tucker: hold on. i don't think it's fair or honest to say that the allegation is that russia is just helping populist right-wing

movements. the claim is also that the russians are helping bernie sanders, right? they were helping jill stein. of course -- >> they were helping anti-hillary clinton candidates. >> tucker: the most left-wing cable station there is. rolling stone. >> pro russia station. >> tucker: may be the obvious is true which is that people in charge as represented by the morning show on msnbc or whatever, do you know what i mean? the people who have been making policy haven't taken into account the votes of -- views of voters. rather than learn something from what's happening, they are blaming forces that aren't there, the russians. >> the russian forces are in fact they are. i think all you have to do is listen to not just samantha power. you can listen to anyone of -- our own secretary of state. >> tucker: i don't care because none of those people is

wise, beginning with samantha power whose foreign policy is left the region in tatters. >> she is also not in power. >> tucker: she is not but she is implicated in the disaster that is the world 2018 that democrats are reacting against. do you think there's any coincidence that the russia hoax is being used to discredit anybody, anyone who challenges power. >> i deeply disagree with calling it a russia hoax. if we can go back to the origins of the russia "hoax" work, it went back before the 2016 election. that's when we learned about it. from one of the debates, she talked about, hillary clinton talked about 17 intelligence agencies have concluded russia has been trying to metal. i hate that word because it is so weak but have been trying to influence u.s. elections. we didn't listen to thatt story.

>> tucker: there is no evidence, no evidence has emerged that it's real. i want you to think about something written in rolling stone today by a left-wing writer. someone who hates trump. "by an amazing coincidence, virtually all the anti-system movementss that so terrify the political establishment two years ago i've since been identified as covert or overt russian destabilization initiatives run by putin." it's not clear to you that this is a reaction against voters who are mad because nothing is working for them and rather than listen to them, the elites are like oh, it's not our fault. it's putin's fault. you don't see that? >> i think, one more time, the -- >> tucker: i'm amazed someone as smart as you doesn't see that what ties claimsuc that implicae bernie sanders and donald trump's may be defensiveness on the part of the people in power.

you don't see that? >> i believe both things are true. there was populist unrest in our country in 2016. i also believe then russians bh saw that, leveraged it, took advantage of it, and fan the flames of it so they could install somebody they saw as willing to -- >> tucker: there is no evidence they did that. >> there iss plenty of evidence. the trump tower meeting. >> tucker: i can even. i wanted to keep this at a higher level because when we get down to the details gets so frustrating that i can't continue. thank you. brit hume's fox senior political analyst. you have been in thehu media foa long time and television. when you saw sam nunberg yesterday, did you think to have put himould modified were bureau or i wouldn't have put him on?t >> i very much hope i would not

have. it was worth noting that before the day was over, cnn's erin burnett said "i smelled liquor on your breath." could she been the only o acreae notice he was probably drunk? plainly a very troubled soul. as a a journalist, you don't hae to make a psychiatric diagnosis to recognize that somebody you are talkingg to me not be, you know, okay. and whatever this person says may be questionable. and yet this guy held sway over the airwaves for hours on end, particularly on cnn. others picked it up and it got quite a ride yesterday. the principal thing that made the headlines when he said that he wasn't going to cooperate with mueller. by this morning, that was gone and he said he was going to w cooperate. he has very little choice. that was a nonstory that lived all day long because it feeds this narrative that there is wrong andterribly that we have an unqualified president under the influence of russia and god knows what else. >> tucker: so to make that point, you have someone under the influence of alcohol to humiliate himself.d

not only that, degrade the person who is interviewing him. i wonder if there is a cause long term when you do stuff like that. >> i think what we are looking atre is there's been a belief fr the longest time that they trump election was illegitimate and there's been a sense in the media that his election constitutes a national emergency because he is such an unqualified character and so likely to lead us off a cliff that it's the job of the media to join the resistance and find out must be behind his election, what scandals must lurk they are in to take himnd down. i think that's a plainly what this is all about. the media has clearly joined the resistance. the coverage of this i think has been, in the mainstream media, at least, one-sided. aa number of stories turned out badly. cnn, a group of senior people saying they had word that when

comey testified that he was going to testify he had never told donald trump he was under investigation. then he testified the opposite. you wonder how stories like that, there've been several, can get past these journalists. i think they are on a crusade. >> tucker: i remember when the russians hacked the national powerth grid. dopo you think it might help -- but they didn't, of course. do you think it will help the rest of us getting agitated to remind ourselves it's political advocacy. no expectation of objectivity or news. what you are watching is one side waging partisan battle against the other. >> strikingly effective. your previous guests, she really didn't want to let go of the narrative that is out there that russia had an important effect on the election. the evidence, as you point out, it's extremely light at best. anything that russia did to the tune of $1 million a month is dwarfed by the rest of the

spending and the other things that influenced the election. it is something that's held onto for dear life. i think it's distorted coverage. i think it has enraged the people who see things more clearly than that. on and on it goes.oe you see it particularly in the character assassination of devin nunes, chairman of the house intelligence committee, whose had to put up with unlivable assault on him. they continue to this day, that he's the guy who's at fault when you know that on the democratic side, feeding the press, there's this unbelievable leak fast out of the committee and it goes on on. >> tucker: it's true. over at msnbc, they called nunes a russian agent. two years ago you would be fired for saying something like that if you couldn't support it. >> it borders on hysteria. it is so over-the-top. you don't have to be a trump admirer to realize that things are being cited are wildly out of proportion to anything real

beneath them. >> tucker: it's insane. i know people who hate trump who agree with that. britt,ha thank you. fox news alert. another fixture in the trump administration is stepping down. national economic counselor gary cohn says he's planning to leave thee administration. ed henry joins us with details. >> shortly after a denial from president trump that there is no truth to the idea he can't bring stability to his white house, his lead economic advisor is heading for the exit. the president is right there is turnover in every white house, there's been a particularly large number of departures lately.ar hope hicks to rob porter, multiple press secretaries, communication structures. national security advisors and chiefs of staff. what's significant about gary cohn, he was a key architect of the tax cut and the regulatory reform that has propelled the economy. with the p markets getting volatile, there is no denying there's a big loss for the president. he lost a high-profile battle to

try to stop the president from moving forward on the tariffs, white house officials are insisting cohn is not running out because of that one dispute. two months ago the president boasted he wanted cohn to stick around for a long time. it's going to feed the narrative that there is chaos at the white house. the president noted he likes conflict, he likes different points of view. diversity of thought is supposed to be celebrated. former chief of staff reince priebus said critics may pounce on the meandering process but the focus should be on the results of the president is getting. not sure a lot people will agre agree. or reported. >> tucker: ed henry, ladies and gentlemen. good to see you. top republicans are demanding a new special prosecutor to investigate abuses of several liberties by the fbi. what does that mean? will it happen? details coming up.

♪ >> tucker: top house republicans are formally calling for a second special counsel. house oversight chairman trey gowdy of south carolina and judiciary chairman bob goodlatte is needed to look into abuses of fisa surveillance. a former u.s. district attorney joins us. joe, you know a lot about special councils. are you for it? >> absolutely. it has to happen.

the inspector general to whom this investigation has been given has no subpoena power. he has no authority to interview anybody outside the department of justice or fbi. he cannot interview fbi and doj employees who have left. he cannot interview clapper, brandon, sally yates. the bottom line is you have to have a grand jury. it's fascinating. we have a grand jury and special counsel in russia gate where there has been no crime in here with the fisa violations where there have been huge numbers of crimes committed by various people in various departments, we have no grand jury. >> tucker: part of the reason you have a special counsel is to restore public faith in the system itself. it seems to be making public the fisa requests for the warrants will go a long way to ending the debate. cannot happen? will it happen? >> it should happen. i cannot conceive of anything in

those affidavits that would compromise sources and methods. it's ludicrous that they haven't been released. they should be released. the american people have a right to see themth because remember what this is all about command fisa is part of it, there was a brazen plot by senior officials at doj and fbi in the obama administrationin and senior obaa administration intelligence officials toin exonerate hillary clinton falsely and frame donald trump if hillary lost the election. we need a grand jury. we need the fisa applications out. we need it all done, and we need it done now. >> tucker: here is a new angle on this than i want to get a response to. fbi agent peter strauch who still works at the bureau, may have known about a breach of hillary clinton's private email service but apparently didn't do anything about it. n' fox news thatd during the final months into hillary clinton's server, irregularities in the servers metadata were found and it

indicated a potential breach. strzok took no action in response, according to sources. maybe he was too busy scenting anti-trump text messages to his mistress or whatever. t does that seem out of the ordinary? >> it is absolutely out of the ordinary. here's what happened on top of that. james clapper who was the director of national intelligence under obama, when he found out hillary clinton's server had been compromised but they are required by law conduct a damage assessment. he refused.fu clapper refused to do a damage assessment and that's why strzok decided not to investigate the compromise of hillary's server. >> tucker: on what grounds did clapper, the same one who under oath lied to congress and the public about spying on americans. on what grounds that he refused to do a damage assessment? >> because he wanted to protect

hillary and he could do it and he had the consent of the president not to do an assessment. by that i mean the consent of president obama. >> tucker: wow. that's pretty shocking.u, thank you, joe. i appreciate that. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: a group of physicians are calling on doctors to shame gun owners during checkups. an amazing story. it may happen. stay tuned. while i was overseas serving. it was my very first car accident. we were hit from behind. i called usaa and the first thing they asked was 'are you ok?' they always thank you for your service, which is nice because as a spouse you serve too. we're the hayles and we're usaa members for life. see how much you could save with usaa by bundling your auto and home insurance. get a quote today. when it comes to travel, i sweat the details.

>> tucker: most cable new >> tucker: most cable news shows are varied. they cover a lot of topics. on msnbc, joy reed is the exception. herschel has one topic. how everyone who disagrees with her is a racist. she is not a civil rights advocate. she just came model maniac. >> no secret trump harbors racist attitudes about brown and black people. we areis just another western nation. feeding on the fear of nonwhite and non-christian immigrants. olump issues in an emboldened kkk and an alt-right that will have a place in the white house. we grapple with what it means to have a president stained by racism. >> tucker: that's the whole show really. every week. no need for you to watch. though you might be tempted. when you are joy reed, the answer to every question is bigotry. the only variable is volume. this past weekend she melted down completely over joke the president told about nancy pelosi. watch.

>> he reportedly also said that nancy pelosi has been trying to come up with a line as good as "lock her up." her line, says donald trump, is mow the grass. mow the freaking grass. that isn't going to stop ms-13. mow that freaking grass. that sounds like an dispersion or a slap at immigrants, and mexican americans. that's how i'm reading it. >> tucker: [laughs] of course you are reading it that way. in reality, trump was just erdiculing pelosi over proposals the border can be secured with proper lawn care. >> we have a responsibility to protect our borders. fencing, technology, mow the grass so people can hide in it. let's talk about where a more serious structure might be

necessary, fencing or mowing the grass so people can't be smuggled through grass. >> tucker: [laughs] is pelosi the secret grand wizard? we will see of joy reed denounces her. she will denounce us too. can't wait. ready to get a gun-control lecture when you go to the doctor. an editorial in the annals of internal medicine urges physicians to publicly start campaigning for gun control. the editorial said "don't let your concerns for perceived political consequences get in the way of advocating for the well-being of your patients and the public. p dr. christine laine is the editor in chief of the annals of internal medicine. she joins us. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: i was reading about this and you said at the annals that the massacre in las vegas. you to do this. i got me thinking with this have prevented that? if you had told steven paddock that guns were dangerous but he wouldn't have open fire?

>> no, that's not exactly what our proposal is. ourr proposal is to treat fiream injury like a public health problem. one opportunity to do that is, in the exam room, for doctors to talk to their patients who are at risk for injuring themselves or others with guns about how to deal with it more safely. >> tucker: so you're not an expert on guns. would it make you uncomfortable if i gave you medical advice? >> yeah, that would make me pretty uncomfortable. >> tucker: me too. that's why i wouldn't do it. >> i am not an expert on guns but i'm a medical expert and part of what physicians do is assess risk and help talk to their patients aboutut mitigatig those risks. >> tucker: oh, assess risk like when you send tens of millions of doses of opioids to appalachia and killed people. where were you then? just wondering. can't help it since you bragged laout your risk assessment

abilities. >> while, risk assessment, we do assess risks. it wasn't doctors that sent tens of millions of doses to opioids to appalachia. >> tucker: yes, it was. >> we assess risks of high blood pressure, smoking, risky sexual behavior that puts people at for infection, when people are elderly and at risk forre falls, we ask about area rugs in the home. we talk to patients about seat belts. there are lots of different risks we assess. this proposal is to remind physicians that whenys they hava patient with at risk for harming themselves or others to ask about whether they have guns in the home and talk to them about more safely storing those guns or other interventions that cant make them of their family safer. >> tucker: would you acknowledge that there are people who ought to have a gun in the home?at if you live alone in a tough area where there is a lot of crime, home invasions. would you ever say you are probably better to have to have a way to defend yourself?

>> as a physician, i would not. i don't think that would be in my purview to do. certainly it is people's right in the country but if that person was at risk of harming themselves or others, i would be counseling them that maybe it would not be safe to have a gun in the house. >> tucker: what if they weree atay risk of being harmed? ifke the point is harm reductio, as you claimed it was, then if someone was a deliveryman for example in a tough neighborhood delivering the newspaper or delivering to bodegas at three in the morning. would you say it's better to be armed? >> tucker there is data out there that shows if people have access to a gun in their home, it doesn't keep them safe. they are at higher risk for completedth suicides or a gun homicide. people that have guns in their home. >> tucker: so i guess -- >> your assumption that having a home gives you safer, there really are data that refute it. >> tucker: yeah, i don't that

you know the data really. when you take suicide out of it, it's a totally different picture. that's a separate question i would love to ask you. whether you are against suicide. let me ask you, are you saying there's no circumstances where someone is paper with a gun? is that your medical position? >> no, what i was saying in the systematic review published in the annals of internal medicine that looked at 16 studies that evaluated the risk of a completed suicide or gun homicide by whether or not the patient, the person have access to a gun in the home, the risk for both those things, completed suicide and gun homicide, was higher in individuals. >> tucker: i am familiar with those statistics and they are misleading. i am surprised you are starting them because i think serious people know that. if i said i am disabled and live at the end of a long road where the police can't get there within 10 minutes. they are been home invasions. i feel f i need to protect myself with a gun. would you say you don't need a gun? what would be your advice?

>> that is the patient's choice. if the patient was depressed and at risk for suicide or was having homicidal ideation or had cognitive deficits, i would probably counsel them that it was more safe for them not to have a gun than to have a gun. >> tucker: i think that's fair. ir you are worried the person is going to kill themselves, you are right. the u.s. and organization have taken a strong position against suicide it sounds like. >> yeah. >> tucker: not all physicians have. >> physicians that are for suicide. i don't think there are too many physicians out there that advocate suicide. >> tucker: i don't know, like their entire state of oregon whe it's legal in a lot of physicians participate in it and advocated for it. there are a lot of physicians in this country and europe or for suicide, as you know. >> you're talking about a completely different issue. you're talking about assisted suicidee for people that have terminal illness and her at the

end of their life. that really has nothing to do with the gun debate. >> tucker: people shoot themselves with guns all the time when they are in terminal pain or are facing a illness. you are saying suicide is okay with a physician but not alone. is that your position? >> tucker: suicide with a gun is always pretty messy. >> and not something physicians support. >> tucker: oh, but suicide with a needle is okay. suicide with a needle can be okay but suicide with a gun is always wrong because it's messy, is that what you're saying? >> it's wrong because physicians assisted suicide is not done with injection drugs.ti you are talking about euthanasia which is not legal in this country. >> tucker: huh, okay. well, youu are dead at the end f matter what. doesn't seem like a moral category. >> i thought we were going tohe talk about firearm injuries. >> tucker: we were with the majority of firearm deaths are

suicides, as you said. you are trying to protect before from that. i was trying to get to the nub of what you believe but it's not enough to come on in give platitudes. i was trying to get you to do that. >> if you give me an opportunity, i will. >> tucker: i - think i have. doctor, i think i have given you six or 7 minutes.in i think you have had a chance to explain it. i appreciate it. thank you. the nra says it's fed up with dishonest journalists and is time isthem their running out. what does that mean? dana lash joined us next. stay tune. take this left. if you listen real hard you can hear the whales. oop. you hear that?

sheriff promised he was going to release. where is the focus on that? or the political class that's left on mental crisis spiral out of control. instead they are writing about myut musical tastes in "newswee" and focusing on my appearance and me as a person and my husband and law-abiding gun owners across the united states. instead of acting like the watchdog of the people. who watches the watchers? >> tucker: if you're going to try to take people's guns away, don't you think you have a moral obligation to protect them better than our elites are doin doing? >> yeah, that's what i don't understand who we're looking at multiple systemic failures coming from the government that failed to protect us. all the while, we have this individuals telling us you can trust the government to protect you. really? they didn't with sutherland springs andan garland, texas and san bernardino and they didn't in parkland and didn't in

charleston. i could go on and on. there were balls dropped in every single one. the political class has been largely silent. they haven't been moved to make sure the background check system works, like wayne lapierre has called for. this is where the focus, that's where the focus should be. to the point of people trying to say somehow fact-checking media is violent, the progressive left has been violent for a long tim time. h i can't take seriously the criticisms of people c who ignoe the fires in ferguson and ignored antifa violence in so many other things and they want to act like it's threatening to fact-check media. >> tucker: i am laughing because if you are asking sincere questions about the people in charge, you are obviously working for vladimir putin. good luck with your russian masters. >> i had russian salad dressing this week. >> tucker: thank you for joining us.

i appreciate it. facebook isfa moving forward wih the messaging app designed to get your children hooked on social media. and rearrange their brains completely. can anything stop big tech? we will ask someone who is trying. stay tuned. liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night. hold on dad... liberty did what? yeah, liberty mutual 24-hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. don't worry - i know what a lug wrench is, dad. is this a lug wrench? maybe? you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. here's something you should know. there's a serious virus out there that 1 in 30 boomers has, yet most don't even know it. a virus that's been almost forgotten. it's hepatitis c.

hep c can hide in the body for years without symptoms. left untreated it can lead to liver damage, even liver cancer. the only way to know if you have hep c is to ask your healthcare provider for the simple blood test. if you have hep c, it can be cured. for us, it's time to get tested. it's the only way to know for sure.

♪ >> tucker: 15 years ago facebook didn't exist. today dominates our lives. shapes our conversation, even to some extent determines the way we think. americans spend close to an houe every day on facebook. the company wants more. facebook is rolling out a new app messenger for kids aimed at children as young as six. more than 100 child development experts have warned that this is a bad idea. could be a disaster. serves to addict kids to social

medias earlier than ever. massive implications for society. the company seems to be ignoring that. this ceo of common sense wrote the book "talking back to facebook." thanks for coming on. have i mischaracterized with this app is intended to do? >> no, i think you nailed it. this is about social media for the kindergarten set. it's basically getting hooked, kids at younger and younger ages. six, seven, eight on social media platforms like facebook. it's crazy. we don't need it. that's why the experts suggested that. >> tucker: we >> tucker: credo heavy social media use among young people t leads to social maladjustment, depressio. the implication is that it can really hurt people, gravely hurt them. why would facebook want to do it? >> because it's in their own economic best interest. you are trying to hook people at younger and younger ages to the brand and the concept. it's an economic incentive.

obviously it is missing out on all the negative, unintended consequences you just referred to. this is a no-brainer for a parent. why would you want your 6-year-old using facebook or instagram? this should be a nonstarter for parents. >> tucker: i am sure rj reynolds would like to come up with a new cigarette that is kindergarten friendly. we say no, you can't. adults can do that but society does not allow cigarette makers to sell to children. where are we allowing facebook to do this? we know it harms them. >> it's an apt comparison. it's like candy coated cigarettes. hooked kids at younger and younger ages. we think this is not a good ide idea. it brings g up the broader issue of how do you get your kids away from the screen, enjoying the outdoors in the world around them. you don't want them sitting on social media platforms in kindergarten or at any age. >> tucker: yeah, i mean, it

affects kids' ability to read and retain information and think clearly. is there any legislative effort to pull back? are we passive in the face of a threat to our children? >> there is a lot of good stuff coming on this kind of issue. there is stuffff here on the west coast in terms of looking at addiction research that needs to be done around social media platforms. you are seeing greater privacy concerns. you are seeing a number of different legislative efforts to try to either encourage or require o companies to respect e young kids and their audience. that's going to grow. we passed a bill called the erasure button. kids who made dumb decisions could erase them. i think you're going to see a growing public outcry and i think you're covering it helps. >> tucker: i hope so. i mean, i can see them marketing maps to babies to teach them how to crawl.
