tv Tucker Carlson Tonight FOX News July 2, 2018 5:00pm-6:00pm PDT
5:00 pm
joining us. what did you think of the show? send me your thoughts,@sandra dlat smithfox. i'll see you tomorrow morning from 9:00a.m. to noon. hope you are having a wonderful start to your holiday week. tucker carlson is up next. >> good evening, well tomorrow to tucker carlson tonight. progressives have always been ang dwri, indignation is their signature emotion a year and a half into the trump administration, their rage has finally consumed them. the left is spinning completely out of control. just two weeks ago, only a few fringe figures called for abollishing border enforcement. now that the mainstream view in the democratic party. >> it's strayed so far from its mission, it's supposed to be here to keep americans safe. what it's turned into is frankly a terrorist organization of its own. >> we need to rebuild our
5:01 pm
immigration system from top to bottom. starting by replacing i.c.e. are w. something that reflects our morality. >> c.e., a group of incompetents. they're foe used more on toddlers than terrorists. >> get rid of it, start over, build something that works. >> kirsten gillibrand and elizabeth warren are thinking about running for president. they take don't positions lightly. if they're calling for the end of national borders, what they're calling for, they think their party is with them. and they may be right. alexandria is definitely with them, the son to be congressman from new york's 14th district. a self-identified democratic socialist. what does that mean exactly? last week the democratic socialists of america issued a statement of their beliefs. abollish profit, abollish prisons, abollish cash wail,
5:02 pm
abollish borders. abollishing prisons? a country with thousands of murderers every year. ? you would be long gone along with every other normal productive person and what was once america. refugees from your own country. something like that happened in venezuela, people in our country working to make it happen here. suddenly some of them are prominent in the democratic party. this is wetting scary. if you pay attention it will ska you. i think our so-called interest electric trul leaders would guide this in a responsible direction. but they're not. instead the leaders are adding to the cycle of extremism. consider the reaction to the rerm tierment of justice anthony kennedy. left wing law professors are calling for democrats to expand the number of seats on the stream court and pack it with liberals for a leb permanent majoritity. ian samuel wrote with 10
5:03 pm
liberals and five conservatives would be, quote, incredibly generous to the republicans. and they agreed with it, if it happened the court legitimacy would evaporate overnight, but they don't care. they would have power forever. republicans could pack the supreme court, tonight, they have the power. everyone knows they won't do that. only the left is embracing extremism. progressive mobs threaten public figures. progressive figures cheer them on. "washington post" writer jennifer ruben explaining that sarah sanders deserves a life sen tension of harassment from the left are the crime of working for donald trump. >> sarah huckabee has no right to live a life of no fuss, no muss after lying to the press, inciting against the press. these people should be made uncomfortable. that's a life sentence, frankly. >> tucker: she has no right to live a normal life because she disagrees with me. nothing liberal about language
5:04 pm
like that. it is pure authoritarianism. the past few week, the old democratic party vanished. bill clinton couldn't get elected by tad's democratic party. he can't appear at campaign rallies they might scream at them, who. in the coming months, we will bring you reporting on what the democratic party is fast becoming. other channels want to hide the details, they don't want to scare you. we think you have a right to know what is happening. tammy bruce joins us tonight. if you think of all of the kind of famous democratic figures, moynihan, long-time democratic senator from new york, bill clinton, no chance. they would be even taken seriously as candidates now. so dramatically has the party changed. why is this never noted in public? >> i think what is interesting, the leadership is so far off pr the base itself, democrats may not even realize how serious this is. i'll give you an example.
5:05 pm
in a new harris harvard poll, when asked whether or not people wanted i.c.e. to be abolished, 78% of republicans said no. 59% of democrats said no. and 75% of independents. 6 out of every 10 democrats also said no. the majority also felt there was not enough border security as well. they seem to be abandoning their own base. i think that's because they have really the veneer, donald trump's existence and his success has stripped the veneer off of democrat leadership. republicans are seeing this as well. republicans are surprised if the repeal and replacing obamacare. we have gotten establishment that in a way seems to be pretending to understand, well, the eye deols of the left and the right. but all along, have only really been concerned about the machine itself. now donald trump, who is honestly working, the one working for real progress on all
5:06 pm
of the issues, has upset everyone across the spectrum. but particularly, the left. and i think that this is a wakeup call for democrats and for liberals who have presumed that some one like dianne feinstein was serious. or that these other individuals knew what they were talking about and weren't lying to them and they need to consider they have been. >> tucker: i guess i'm, i can't get past the fact that so much of this is being unreported. here you have the new democratic nominee in the 14th con congressional contradict in new york, the famous political figure in america. describes herself as a dremmatic social interest of new york. her state. issued a statement saying no borders, no profit, no prisons. and nobody asks her about that. do you agree with that, what do you think of this? are you against borders, profit, and prisons? shouldn't she be asked, shouldn't democrats be asked to account for that? >> one point she tried to walk back a little bit.
5:07 pm
in an interview she noted i'm not here to push any ideology. why is she rning not running with an agenda? she believes in something. but it's not being covered in some ways because it is frightening, even to the liberal mouthpieces for the democratic party now. they want to think that she can be controlled, they think. they think when this young woman gets up there. what it is a signal of, is a complete lack of leadership. there's no continuum, no control. and because they're wanting, they've been focusing on hating donald trump. they haven't been thinking about policy or who's coming up, or how do we convince people about what's right and what the right policies are. at this point, even brok, he's coming back, all of the street action, the organization, this is barack obama, what he enjoys doing. he has never wanted to deal with policy. >> tucker: chuck schumer should
5:08 pm
be terrified. >> we all should. >> tucker: ricky jones chairs the penn african studies at university of louisville, thanks for coming on. >> no problem, tucker, thank you for inviting me. >> tucker: absolutely, our pleasure as always. as part of, i want to lay down markers, so we acknowledge things are changing really fast. things happen, people make statements they wouldn't have made a year ago. i'll refer to a piece that you just wrote last week in the louisville courier journal, kentucky, in which you described white americans as moral monsters. do you want to live in a world where it's okay for university professors to describe groups of people on the basis of their race as moral monsters, is that the country, you want to live in? >> i think your framing of the question is off. i would encourage people to read the piece. it's only an 800 word piece. >> tucker: i would, too. >> five to seven minutes. i didn't call white people moral
5:09 pm
monsters. that was the conclusion of the legendary writer james baldwin. i'm sure some of your viewers are familiar with baldwin, his conclusion after many years in america. and i simply posed the question as to whether or not baldwin was right, we play some of the behavior along the lines of race into historical context. >> tucker: let me quote from the piece. okay, so i would encourage our viewers, that's one of the reasons i wanted you to come on, people know what is happening out there, beyond their own world and the people like you, are writing things like this. i'm quoting. maybe baldwin was right when he said we are dealing with moral monsters, ie white people. how would you feel about a piece that described black people as moral monsters? you would call iteratist, rightly. why isn't this the same? >> you're proof texting and changing the argument by doing so. i encouragior viewers to read the entire piece. i think -- >> tucker: how about this, is it
5:10 pm
okay to suggest a group of people on the basis of race are moral monsters? i mean, do you think a person's race affects his moral standing, one race is better than another? >> what i think is very important is if people, again, read the piece and look at the world in which we live, and many of the things we have seen from the ensloovment of people in the country to black code, to the civil war, reconstruction, to disproportionate incarceration, misunderstanding of immigration. and that many people in the country outside of the white race certainly have some feelings that are not positive about their treatment. >> tucker: sure. and you're whipping them, a betting -- hold on. here's a quote. why are so many white americans so brutally main and unhe main. if i wrote why are so many black americans so brutal and inhumane, which i would never write, would you would you respond? wanted you say you're a racist?
5:11 pm
as you clearly are. >> i would read the piece. i think, unfortunately as i talked to your producer this afternoon, being pug nashs with people like you and i when we don't know one another, it makes good television. but it doesn't make people understand one another. >> tucker: don't get, look, i'm quoting your piece. hold on, is this quote uncorrect. >> no, you're quoting -- >> tucker: are these your words? what did you mean, why are so many white americans, i'm being patient with you. -- >> i'm going to be patient with you, i'm going to be patient with you and let you ask and answer the questions if you like to. but we'll run out of time, television is certainly a short platform. again, i encourage -- >> tucker: you said it five times. why don't you answer my question, which is, would it be okay for me to write the sentence, why are black americans so brutally mean and insensetive. if you would, please answer the question.
5:12 pm
>> i'm answering the question. the first thing that i would do, what i would not limit myself in a very myopic way to one sentence of a piece. i would endeavor to read the inten tease. >> tucker: it's 800 words, okay. >> it is. it's not 8,000. >> tucker: this is an op-ed. can you account for one sentence in that piece, answer my question. in which i said, why are black people so awful and morally deficient, what would you think of that? >> i would not, i would not think were you a racist. but i certainly would think that you are racially insensetive. if you take a piece and not look at the genesis of that piece and place it into historical and literal i context. and do people watch your show, every piece -- >> tucker: is there something wrong with attacking people by their race. don't you see yourself always
5:13 pm
part of the problem of rate hatred? . no, no, that's not what the piece does. what i find troubling -- >> it does do that. >> i understand white brothers and sisters may not be aware of what they are doing. about the when people bring the situation to them, and they respond in an indignant way that, raises the question of morality that i think we have to wrestle with. >> tucker: my next question is, how much do you make at the university of wherever? you won't answer that, i'm sure. you aren't answering my questions. >> i don't make nearly as much as you are the race baiting that you do. i would trade my salary for yours any day. >> tucker: i would never say something like this about a race. >> you do every day. >> tucker: i would be ashamed. >> you do it every day. in a more personal way which doesn't really help the discussion. i think we -- >> tucker: thanks, professor, good to see you. not everyone on the left is
5:14 pm
onboard with where the left is going. some are afraid of where the left is going. if you just watched the last segment, you ought to be afraid. brandon straka spent years as a liberal and now is concerned with what the left has become. rereleased a video encouraging other progressives to walk away from the movement. brandon joins us tonight, thank you for coming on. >> thank you. >> tucker: what was the moment, you were a liberal for a long time, voted for hillary clinton. >> yes. >> tucker: what was the pivot point for you, when you decided these people don't represent me and i want something different? >> before the election, i was already starting to feel uncomfortable with where we were headed in terms of identity politics and 3 c. culture. i became a liberal, i'm against racism, sexism, discrimination because of sexual orientation. but to be on the left means that you basically have to be hostile toward white people, have to be hostile toward men, you have to find hetero normal to be
5:15 pm
different. i was uncomfortable with. a friend of mine came to me and showed me something that pointed out clearly how dishonest the media was in the donald trump campaign. how they would isolate moments from his behavior and make it appear as though he were a racist or big on the. i didn't realize. this i thought cnn told the truth. i thought msnbc told the truth. i thought rachel madow told the truth. i went on a quest to find out more, it was blind blowing, what other things aren't they being honest about. which it turns out was quite a lot. once i discovered, this i tried talking with other people and i was met with hostility and contempt. friends were nasty to me on the way out the door. i decided once and for all i was going to sit down and write the definitive manifesto about everything that's wrong with liberalism, the democratic
5:16 pm
party, rip the band-aid off and stick it out there. i into there were other people like me in the campaign. i created a testimonial campaign, out liedzing video and written testimonials. this is happening on facebook, the hash tag walk-away campaign. people on going on from the left, leaving written testimonials, why they have walked away. what is more amazing about it, people on the right are participating, too. i have given a voice back to the silent majority. we're cutting out the media who controlled the narrative of what it is to be a conservative. i'm allowing people to tell mayor have their own stories. saying i'm not a racist. >> tucker: good for you, brandon. there are a lot of desent liberals who are not represented by this lunacy that you just saw in the previous segment. good luck. i support that. >> thank you. >> tucker: remember of congress says he thinks the department of

i know! i know! when did brian move back in? brian's back? he doesn't get my room. he's only going to be here for like a week. like a month, tops. oh boy. wi-fi fast enough for the whole family is simple, easy, awesome. in many cultures, young men would stay with their families until their 40's. >> tucker: a number of republicans in congress have been deeply skep ty kaflt way the fbi is handling the russia investigation and other cases. now, one congressional republican thinks he may be facing retaliation for not properly kowtowing to the deep state. he says friends in the intelligence world warned him he's being watched by the u.s. government. he didn't take it seriously, he says, now he's reconsidering that. congressman gomert joins us.
5:21 pm
thank you for coming on. >> great to be with you. >> tucker: last year and a half has taught us nothing is impossible. i'm open-minded about everything. >> sure. >> tucker: it's a heavy charge. why do you think it is true? >> actually, i've been told by a number of different people in position to know that you know, you're being watched, being listened to, and you know, you just brush it off. you can't let those things control your life. and then, i did a 48 page expose on mueller and it really came home, as i prepared that, my gosh, this is -- their mode of operation. this is what they do. then when you see they have destroyed kurt well den's career, doing nothing with it, years and years later, because understand he's about to come out with a book to disclose what all the manipulations were, ted stevens.
5:22 pm
steve hat field, they know how to ruin people's lives. we had a private conversation with some of the people in our intelligence after we found out what all they were amassing. >> what does it mean by spying, would that be bugging your office, spying? >> all of the above. >> tucker: "they" being whom thes why, well, fbi intelligence. you didn't ask for "they" but i had people in those departments tell me they're watching, they're listening. >> tucker: i want to believe it, it seems that would facilitate a constitutional crisis. are you a member of crisis
5:23 pm
elected, bureaucrats unelected. you serve in an oversight role over them. if they're spying on you, then i mean, the whole system falls apart. >> if they're spying on a presidential candidate or a president after he's been elected. those things that were going on. i told a private group of intelligence folks, you get us the names of those people, who unmask all of those peep, shouldn't have been unmasked. or i'll make it my life's work to get rid of this program that allows you could do it. quickly, they came out with the names. we knew susan rice, allegations, folks like that. >> tucker: congressman, thank you. >> you can't live in fear and they aren't going to scare me. we'll keep moving on. >> tucker: thank you. protests against i.c.e. are sweeping the country. what is the situation at the

5:28 pm
happening at the border? charlie la dltd duff is an author and journalist with a brand new book, the bleep show, the country's collapse. he spent time at the u.s.-mexico border. >> this is ground zero, there's a wave of central americans pouring illegally into the united states. here's a coyote. a smuggler. he has two women on the back of his jet ski. yes, they're using jet skis now. one woman is preg nament much the coyote tries dropping them on our shore until he sees us. what did he say to me? i'm costing him money? good. he's courting me money. he's courting you money. >> tucker: the only journal ishgt, in the world, probably, to catch a pregnant migrant on a jet ski trying to sneak into the country. amazing. we've spent, i think, about $800
5:29 pm
billion in homeland security since 9/11. is that obvious when you visit the border? >> no, look, it's overrun. i don't know what the solution is. two years ago we had this situation. four years ago we had this situation. the reason it ramped up, with central americans four years ago, was when obama talked about deferred deportation for more than daca people and the word got to central america. i know, i was there talking to them. we're going around and around arguing on the left, the right no, real solutions. >> tucker: the message is clear to people who want to come here for a bunch of different reasons, they can't. where is all the money? i mean, $800 billion, a lot of money. so to harden the borders, we keep hearing from politicians we have to secure the border. that's not close to true. >> that's just talking. what does that mean?
5:30 pm
we have made it harder. it costs, when i crossed the border in 2000 cost me about a grand, right? now it's costing $3,000, $6,000, $. 000. what we have now, in this country, is 9% or 10% of all people in the world born in mexico live mere. the central americans are coming for a better life. you can't blame them. but control of the border sovereignty, it's not a racist issue, to say you want control. yet there's never a plan. nothing holistic going on. just sound bites every two years. we got to get together and get it under control. >> tucker: you are saying that somebody is getting richer and it's the coyotes. >> they're getting very rich. when i came, we walked three days to the desert, not to be caught. now you are dumped off on a jet ski. also, you know, if you're going to come in and crossing the body of water, rent the inner tube for $5, don't swim, rent the
5:31 pm
inner tube. there are inner tube concessions at the border. i'm not kidding you, that's a fact. >> tucker: unbelievable. i'm laughing, but the details are great. thank you for bringing them. >> good to see you. >> tucker: president trump's travel ban on several countries, was upheld by the supreme court last week. this is a professor at university of detroit school, he says this is white supremacy. professor, thank you for coming on. >> thank you. >> tucker: how is it white supremacy, that ban? >> well, it's basically the continuation of trump's rhetoric but comes with the whole history of sort of white supremacist immigration law that we have had since the founding of this country. you had to be white in order to be naturalized from 1790 until 1952. that was the law for the vast majority of the history of this country. what trump is trying to do is go
5:32 pm
back to that with many laws, especially with this muslim ban. >> tucker: what year were you born? >> what does that matter? >> tucker: it matters because i bet you probably weren't born too much before 1965. and since then, we have had about 90% of all immigrants into this country have been nonwhite. now, that may be a lot of things. that's not white supremacy. that's over 50 years of 90% of the immigrants are nonwhite. it's not white supremacy. anything but that. >> it is definitely -- i'm not saying that what trump is trying to -- trump is trying to stop that. what trump is trying to do is to stop the brownification of america. answer sooipt of many white americans that this country is becoming more diverse. >> tucker: okay. before you make generalizations made on race, which is itself racist. what percentage -- >> no it's not.
5:33 pm
>> tucker: a little less than 10% white now, okay? our immigration breakdown. what percentage would trump like to get it to, to achieve this priet supremacy that you're barking about? >> that's not the point. >> tucker: it is very much the point. it is very much the point. >> no. >> tucker: you accuse him of white supremacy, slow down, you accuse him of white supremacy. be specific and explain what that would look like. what percentage white is he trying to get with his immigration numbers to. >> he told us what it would look like in the oval office and called black countries f-hole countries, can can't we get more peep from norway. he told us what he was envisioning. >> tucker: no. you are a demagogue -- no, he didn't. he said specifically, two specific countries, not all black countries. >> i didn't say all black countries. i said the countries that he
5:34 pm
called f-hole countries. then he said why can't we have more people from norway. we don't need him to be explicit. it's clear how he's talking. it's clear when he tells us that he wants to ban all muslims, just because he writes an executive order that seems neutral doesn't mean that he's actually dper sizing that intent. >> tucker: islam is a race now? you're saying white supremacy, what are you saying? i don't understand what you're saying. if this is a white supremacist country, why are africans moving here in huge numbers? >> the kkk was white supremacists but they told us they hated catholics and jews. it takes on many roles. africans and other people contribute greatly. >> tucker: i wouldn't deny that. just answer, hold on, answer one question before you take another stupid generalization. specific question. >> go ahead.
5:35 pm
>> tucker: if this is a white supremacist country with a white supremacist leader -- >> i didn't say that. >> tucker: you said we have a white supremacist as a president. >> yes, that's troo. >> tucker: and white supremacist supreme court. >> no, i didn't say that. >> tucker: the decision was moved, dominated by white supremacy. why would africans want to move here, a country controlled by white supremacists. islam isn't a race. you take english? why would they want to move here if it's a white supremacist government? >> this country, despite the policies of trump, this country is a great country to move to. trump is trying to reverse. that he's trying to say we have too many people here, he's blaming nonwhites for the problems of poor white americans. that's just, that's how he won, right? we know that, he told us he's playing this. >> tucker: this is another -- >> he played on these things, he told us. you're giving him more credit
5:36 pm
than he deserves. >> tucker: i'm not even talking about that. >> he didn't say. that's who i'm talking about. i'm only talking about -- i'm only talking about trump. >> tucker: let me give you one more chance. it's frustrating to talk to some one as dumb as you. let me pinpoint what you're saying. >> listen, tucker, i know that you agree with truchl's policy. >> tucker: knock it off, pal, you're a moron. stop! they're actually going crazy. you want to have a reasonable conversation, and you can't. white supremacy, oh, it's too frustrating. up next, a irrelevant pa of trance gender athletes dominate the girls high school track championship in connecticut. do biological boys have an unfair advantage? we'll break this down next. this is your wake-up call. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis,

to the by lom cal girls they're competing against. the biological girls. >> it is absolutely true that biological men have advantages over biological women. i think for adult competitive sports it's important to separate those two groups. in high school sports, things are a little different. high school sports, we're not talking about adults, it's more about participation. still, i would personally draw a line at winning state titles. if i were making the rules would i allow them to participate in the state meet but not win medals. >> tucker: huh. that's interesting. but that's not -- that seems like a fairer accommodation than what's going on for example in connecticut. what do you think of the law there, that says you can compete as the gender you identify with, even if you have received no hormones or had any physical changes whatsoever.
5:43 pm
>> well, for most people, it is going to be pretty reasonable. i mean, for yourself, for instance, you're a 47 minute 5-k runner. your progeny probably won't win in the girls state championship. >> probably not. [laughing] >> but for fairly talented athlete, i agree, there should be a cap put on. and i would do it at the state level. i would allow them to participate but not win at state level. >> tucker: would it be worth having an entirely separate category? at some point you butch up against basic questions, why would you have, in a moment we aren't really acknowledging there are just two sexes, you bump up against basic questions. why would you have sporting events segregated by sexes? >> we had sporting events segregated by sex so that women have a chance to win things.
5:44 pm
i think that's an important thing to preserve. as i say, as an adult competitive level, we want to do differently than we do for high school. i think allowing participation and conclusion in high school is important. but as i say, i would draw a line. and those talented transgender athletes who are biologically male, i don't think they should be winning state titles. without going on hormones. once you're on hormones the playing field changes. >> tucker: do you think, honestly, be totally real, we're not allowed to draw lines anywhere. how long would it be before the aclu sued over that? that they would call it separate by equal policy, preventing trance jenlder athletes from getting trophies. i mean that wouldn't stand for 124 hours, would it? >> there are 17 states in the and the district of crumb lee a have the same rules as --
5:45 pm
columbia that have the same rules as connecticut does. there are other states that have different rules. texas for instance, requires transgender athletes to compete based on their birth certificate. there are a whole series of rules. and i don't see the aclu getting involved with any of these other states. >> tucker: what about the olympics? what should the olympics do? >> well, the olympics, and i was part of the group that put in the rules in 2016, went to a hormone-based separator between male and female athletes. and i think that's an appropriate policy. >> tucker: doesn't that, that still gives the advantage to biological men on average, over biological women, does it not? >> there are both advantages and disadvantages. hormone therapy makes a lot of difference but it doesn't change height. on average, transgender women,
5:46 pm
even after hormone therapy, are taller, bigger, stronger than regular women. but there are also disadvantages. you have a large frame that's powered by a smaller muscle mass and reduced aerobic capacity. like a big car with a small engine competing against a small car with a small engine. >> tucker: okay. joanne harper, thank you for that. >> you're welcome. >> tucker: the 9/11 hijackers came from saudi arabia but the country avoided financial responsibility for the attack. one widow of 9/11 says that robert mueller is a big reason why. she explains after the break. you're turning onto the street when you barely clip a passing car. minor accident - no big deal, right? wrong. your insurance company is gonna raise your rate after the other car got a scratch so small you coulda fixed it with a pen.

>> tucker: 19 hijackers on 9/11, and of those 19, 15 came from saudi arabia. ever since the day of those attacks the family members of some of the victims have been pursuing financial compensation from the government of saudi arabia. one of the biggest obstacles to the compensation was fbi director and now special prosecutor probt mueller. it's an important but not often told story. kathy owens lost her his trend on 9/11. jim is her attorney. they both join us tonight. thanks very much to both of you for coming on. >> thank you. >> first to you, kathy, tell us how you believe robert mueller has stood in the way of receiving compensation from the saudi government? >> well, ever since 9/11 almost
5:52 pm
immediately after, the department of justice, which was at that time he was the fbi director, they've covered up and stifled the investigation into who was responsible for supporting the hijackers. >> tucker: why would they do that, do you think? >> you know, i think there's probably a variety of reasons. maybe everyone has a different reason. and they all came together in a perfect storm for a coverup. i won't know until we see all of the documents that are still being unnecessarily classified. >> tucker: jim, the suspicion is that the saudi government played some role in the attacks, is long-standing. >> yes. >> tucker: i don't want to relitigate. that but i want to get to the nub of mueller's involvement n this. what role did he play? . from the moment of 9/11
5:53 pm
president bush's focus was on iraq and sa game hussein. he didn't -- saddam hussein. he didn't want to hear about saudi arabia. it was an allie in the war against iraq and the supporter, the president was good friends with the saudi ambassador. who by the way, he and his wife gave $25,000 to one of the government agents who was hopping, hosmi and midhar, the two terrorists. there was a huge body of evidence that saudi arabia prepared for their arrival, helped them, got them money, english lessons, safe houses apartments and provided the aid without which it would have been impossible according to the fbi agents who were working the case for the terrorists to succeed. and president bush and director mueller instead of furthering
5:54 pm
that effort to find the whole story, quashed it. intel gauges were shut down -- interrogations were shut down, documents kept secret. that was continued by president obama and by then-director comey. president obama's case, largely to accommodate his desire to see the iran nuclear deal passed. >> tucker: right. >> the reason we're here, and our plea, the families' plea to president trump, is to declassify the documents. there is no reason for thousands of documents that reveal both the saudi role and our own government's coverup for 17 years, to be kept secret. >> tucker: on that i fervently free with you. in the darkness, all kinds of theories flower. it's best to know. i completely agree and wish you both success.
