e. we watch and see if that does potential lies. in the meantime, the most watched, the most trusted in the most seen. thanks for tuning in, i'm an shannon bream. ♪ >> tucker: thanks for tuning in and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." we will do our best to explain what it means. for almost three years the leadership of the democratic party and congress resisted calls from its politically inflamed base to impeach president trump. polls show little support for impeachment among actual voters and they were skeptical. older members of congress said remember what time theyr,

impeached a sitting president? in the end, they only with winner in that cycle is bill clinton himself. he was supposedly disgraced but in fact if you look at the numbers he was much stronger than he had been before he was impeached. so up until just last week, impeachment seemed like a fading process. tonight just a few hours ago, pelosi announced that impeachment proceedings were in fact underway. full steam ahead. >> i can say with authority that the trump administration's undermine national security and the actions received the dishonorable o fact of his oathf

office, the trail of national security and the betrayal of integrity of our elections. that moves forward with an official impeachment inquiry. they will receive their investigations under that umbrella of impeachment inquiry. the president must be held accountable and no one is above the law. >> tucker: the people who sold out your show to china are concerned that that the american president has closed up. as congressman from john lewis explains, welcome to removing them -- that somehow a defense of democracy. >> i truly believe the time to begin impeachment proceedings against president has come.

to delay or do otherwise would betray the foundation of our democracy. t>> tucker: are you confused yet? three years ago they told you that trump would be impeached was colluding for russia. then it turned out he do that. d the story evaporated into dust, and they dragged corey lewandowski. remember him? they brought him to capitol hill to make their case. r >> i should ask you, is it correct as it was reported in the mueller report on june 192017, you made a lone to the president? >> can you readee the exact text of it to me? i'd like you to refresh my memory by providing a copy of the report to follow along. >> you don't have a copy of the

oreport? you do not have -- >> i'm trying to find in the mueller report where it states that. >> you have it in front of view, i gave you the page number. >> where on page 90 is it, sir? >> no i don't have to start the clock, is filibustering me. >> it didn't take long for term and another to collapse. you think at some point democrats might decide to run a rope campaign and defeat donald trump that way. just like a democracy. and it has to be more effective than what they are doing now. as of this morning donald trump's approval rating was the highest number it's been since he since the inauguration but no, democrats don't want to wait until the next election they want to wait until november. politics takes too long and leaves too much to chance and the risk for democracy is that voters may not agree with you. hillary clinton learned that the hard way and in 2016 and the one

thing democrats don't want to do is repeat that. what exactly is this about? sorry to laugh in the middle of this. we spent all day trying to figure out what is the impeachment story? it's about the ukraine, less than a week old. and that you might be forgiven for not understanding, why would the president be impeached for a story that the democrats literally can't explain? what did the president do wrong? we are going to do our best to take the case that they are making and honestly as we said it's confusing and not all that interesting. but here is what they are saying. they are saying that in a phone call with the president of the ukraine, the president threaten

to delay a 400 million-dollar package. for five years, joe biden's son it turns out was paid hundreds of thousands per year to serve on the board of a ukrainian gas company. why would joe biden sunday on the board of ukrainian gas company? he had no it experience in the energy business and had mike did not speak the relative language and apparently had no experience whatsoever in the region. turns out at that very moment, joe biden was president obama's point man for the ukraine.taag so at a certain point during this saga of the company in question was investigated and then in 2016, the ukrainian prosecutor overseeing that investigation was apparently fired because of pressure from then vice president joe biden. now, to the laymen, that looks a lot like corruption.

the accusation is that president trump suggested that that squelched investigation deserved a second look. democrats say that suggestion was an impeachable offense. are you following this? of course there are plenty of other reasons why people may not want to spend and by the way, sending military aid to ukraine may emphasize -- greatly increases the chance of conflict with russia which would mean nuclear conflict potentially. what's the point of that? nobody has bothered explaining why they sent that to use the ukraine. they haven't even thought to explain that, they are too busy yelling about impeachment and doing it with the hysterical intensity that has become the hallmark of the modern left. they have lots of energy.

too bad nobody is focused on the country's real problems. and if there are a lot of them. we won't go to the same litany again but there are a couple worth mentioning. our national debt is exploding, and we have not been able to seemed to win or and our towns have been desiccated by opioids and suicide. we basically have an open bordeo with mexico and tech companies are trying to be selected of speech. in many ways our country is on the wrong track and people know it, everybody knows it. democrats and republicans. but instead of trying to fix any of that democrats want to spend the next year explaining, and they plan to, explaining why it was perfectly fair for joe biden's ne'er-do-well son to get 600 grand per year from ukrainian oligarchs.tr that's totally fine but somehow criminal for donald trump to ask about that. that's the message. good luck with that.

it's hard to imagine many voters will be impressed by it. sean davis cofounded ""the federalist"." we spent all day, we are in this business and our job is to follow the news. i talked to my producer this morning, did you understand? we were trying to understand what the democrats were alleging and we come to the conclusion that we were saying, it was okay for biden's son to take this money -- obviously its payoff but it was a criminal act for the president to bring it up.it is that the case they're making? >> there is a bit of a pattern, if we go to the russia hoax, they started by and in fact thaf is wha what the hillary clinton campaign and the dnc were doing. they were working with russian officials, they were the ones

working with foreign governmen governments, and they have accused trump of being a tote and bribed at the ukrainian president to fire the prosecutor that was naming his son's company.il so thing is so and we are assuming that what they're alleging is true. of course we don't do know that but we are doing worse case scenario. i'm just or mows up until last month.le >> this whole new impeachment historical beauty and brouhaha has been cooked up by a whistle-blower overall phone call he didn't hear and

transcript he has not written. again, its accusations innuendo and rumor where there is no evidence i of any overturn the results of the election ever since day one was reflected. >> tucker: says there no and he said these things, nancy pelosi has announced different things she would teach him. >> this whistle-blower, and i don't think they've seen the whistle-blower report. it's purely being based on media i whipped up at hysteria and frenzy over evidence that many people in the americans so

though -- boot boot it was a real bit of could kabuki sande sanders, so she has at this debacle here wishes trying to placate her left-wing deranged, delusional base and trying to convince them that she needs a president as much as they do, while the same time trying to protect her own members who are invulnerable swing districts who barely won their elections by

having to take a boat that will destroy their political careers. i don't understand what the democrats on what pelosi are up to except the only way to explain it is trump has completely thrown out their games. and they have a dish called end it, it's great to see you tonight. so the impeachment push looks to be the 2020 election so obviously democratic candidates are weighing in.f if you pulled >> to those who are holding out, i just want them to know that the history will judge and hope that their

conscience will compel them to stand up for impeachment and for this country. >> tucker: will that kid get off the stage? i can't play another sand bite from that mediocrity. t and that turns to where they should go next with things. >> tucker: and by the way, we are part of the problem, it's irresistible. like at this stage, so what is the political calculation if you are running for president right now and you see the colleagues in the house doing this? >> first i will say to reiterate what sean davis said, there's been momentum in the shift for impeachment but there is no formalal inquiry. bthere has been no vote and no announcement. that's why with nixon and

clinton the house voted to, number one open investigation and give jurisdiction to the house judiciary committee. putting that aside and looking at the 2,020 and 61% of democrats support. that's why you've seen people like baidoa work come out to support but he's not alone in this. i want to show you what senator elizabeth warren had to say. she said congress has the constitutional authority to hold a president about of view. she said that now the impeachment inquiry must move forward with the efficiency and seriousness as crisis demands. the house needs to vote an article in impeachment and when it comes to the senate i will do what the constitution requires.

so essentially saying there are that if s it came to it and goto the senate she would be a "yes" vote. she's not alone in this either and here is what senator sanders had to say. >> the judiciary committee of the u.s. house of representatives must investigate as part of an impeachment inquiry. we have people including republicans who are sick and tired of a president who believes that he does not have to obey the constitution of the united states and that he is above the law. >> so this is where the majority of the democratic 2020 candidates have been on this. however, representative kelseyiv gabbard went on fox news this morning and said if we move forward with impeachment, it's incredibly divisive and bad for the country. >> i've been consistent inha

saying that i believe impeachment at this juncture would be terribly divisive for the country at a time when we are already extremely divided. >> joe biden also gave a press conference but he was more tepid with it and laid out some preconditions. president trump continues to stonewall and this is what congress must do. it could also be the fact that he is implicated as well in this and it's not such great news for him, either. >> tucker: is not great news. i think most democrats have decided joe biden will not be the nominee, he's not up for it. this story puts his family under --e microscope. >> absolutely. especially now that we see elizabeth warren in the latest "des moines register" poll, now she's a front runner in iowa so she has some and so is your son. >> tucker: and they are theth center of the story, there is no way around that.

great to see you tonight. joe biden himself as we just said is at the very center of the story. in 2016 he told ukraine to fire the prosecutor overseeing an investigation involving his son's company. now, biden says the whole matter is worth impeaching the president over. ti the president should stop stonewalling. this investigation and all the other investigations into his alleged ground on an wrongdoing, using his full constitutional authority. if congress in my view should demand the information he has a legal right to receive. the president does not comply with such a request from the congress and i continue to cro cross, andou no choice but to initiate impeachment. that would be a tragedy but a tragedy of his own making.

>> tucker: brian, thanks so much for coming on. so is this a wise idea do you think, the apparent beginning of impeachment? >> no it's not. pelosi announced the titanic tonight into a gigantic iceberg is up in november of 2,020.re we had up until now, or r yesterday really, the last couple weeks it was all russia. as of this morning it was traine. this afternoon pelosi said now that i know that trump is releasing the transcripts of the phone call it's not so much about the ukraine but it's about other things to be identified. so really it comes down to, we don't like trump and we will move forward with an impeachment because that's what the base once and that is absurd. that's not how it is supposed to work at all in our republic. those are called elections. the democratic party, unlike folks like tulsi gabbard understand c that.

then it's driving this party off of the cliff. >> tucker: so how much do you think of this is being driven bo alexandria ocasio-cortez on the rest? >> 100% of it. the progressive wing of the democratic party is in control of the party. it's in control of the media and all the talking heads. so folks that i know, my friends at her democrats repeat the same stuff and they aren't even thinking critically or foru themselves. we don't stop to ask a questionn is there something about hunter biden and christopher hines who worked forou him and -- is there something to the fact that joe biden put in some phone calls? "the new york times" ran an articlet last may that highlighted this concern foram biden and his campaign. the raise the alarm flag. so it's not trump, trumpets and

inventing the story. in other words we are hooking our party's future on this for the next two years. but it's totally not what's the truth. the russian intelligence service has a of wired and so they know what hunter biden and all of his buddies over there, to include an organization called blue star which was a research company based out of operating in the ukraine, and he will make up stuff that isn't true, so now we are inviting another steele dossier, on steroids. we will put this country through so much again for absolutely no discernible reason. >> great to see you tonight. >> thank you.

>> tucker: well given the ♪pp he >> tucker: given the democrats apparent confidence in their ability to impeach the president as expressed, you might be surprised to learn that the latest allegations traced back to a single anonymous source. apparently a whistle-blower whose claims are not even public yet. you might also be surprised to learn that tomorrow the white house planning to voluntarily release a transcript of the phone call between the president and the president of the ukraine b that's at the very center of this. hex chief intelligence

correspondent catherine herridge has more on that. >> tucker of source familiar with the discussions tells us that texas white house lawyers as well as their lawyers have been asking for release of the transcript of the vice president's phone call with the president last week. he says he has quote authorized completely rejected transcript of my phone conversation. you can see it was very friendly and totally appropriate call. no pressure and unlike joe biden and his son, no quid pro quo. a government spokesperson said the nation's intelligence willrs probably testify before the house committee on thursday. and with mcguire issuing the statement, standing by his actions. >> tucker: i want to know mike and public servants, the men and women can't have a solid way to

do that right. i'm committing to protecting whistle-blowers and ensuring every complaint is handled appropriately. the complaint about the president's call was not standard and did not meet the statutory definition of urgent and congressional notification was not required. this undercuts democrats claims today that there is a legal f requirement to share. a former white house official tells fox news that transcripts of all the presidential calls are handled between this are they cross reference of the copy is complete? we are also told that there was no audio recording. >> tucker: catherine herridge, thank you so much for that. joe digenova is a former thanks so much for comingor on.

this political get to the basic legal questions here. so what the president did or said he did in this conversation with the head of state for the ukraine. in fact on the air i heard judge napolitano say at what the president has been accused of doing as a crime. is it a crime? as foolish, nothing the president set on that call or what we think he set on the call constitutes a crime and even if he had said, you are not going to get the money, it would not be a cream, as he struggled to keep >> you see that, and by resolution been passed from the floor of the house calling for

an important impeachment inquiry and authorizing investigation. that has not occurred and what she did today was a head fake to placate the nuts on her left. now if all the things alleged against the president -- >> tucker: as long as you are very serious, like spying for pollutant. this claim, i'm trying to be as objective as i can be. this claim doesn't -- so why would they choose this to impeach over? >> i think they are scrambling at this point. if you go back and look at what president obama data, interfering elections and the threats he made to individuals and things like that, this is all acceptable, political behavior by presidents. they are scrambling for a theme and a narrative, they run everything and another come to

this. but it wasn't us the transcript was going to be really't execu executive. did we. we want to know about the complaint from the so-called whistle-blower who by the way doesn't know anything about the call. he or she is completely anonymous and at this point they just want to impeach so they are looking for a pretext that just popped up. but why -- it does seem that way but why? it's a political matter and i've never seen that especially the year before election. why do they want to do this? >> the president's want to control the sleep or the intimacy or your and they think in their bizarre brains that they did because she got more popular votes. they don't like the electoral

college and don't like dear process, they don't like a lot of things in our confirmation because this is calling -- historically the devolved into a bunch of screw balls because they want and all the power. that speech today by pelosi was an embarrassment because it was mostly lies and mostly made up. >> great to see you, thanks for coming on. >> well for more >> thanks for coming on. it's great to see you tucker. >> tucker: so if you were to come i will ask you the a species of the same question. this story is kind of coming

into focus for a lot of us. what exactly are they claiming?t what is the crime that they are saying the president committed? >> they don't have one and that's really the a problem because this is a rush to judgment from the democrats that i think will end up being their undoing. so for the last -- even since 2015 they've been looking for a smoking gun to try to undermine president trump. they couldn't do it before the election and haven't been able to do it from the mueller report and now, trying to foreign shop some kind of political tactic and say we now know that we have credible evidence when no one from congress including speaker pelosi has even seen the transcript off the call with the ukrainian president. clearly they have no legal basis here. i don't care if you are democratic, republican, independent or even not a

citizen of the country. what everyone needs to understand about the united states constitution is that it does not allow for political base impeachment. there is specific textual language of article two that says, a president can only be impeached for credible evidence and the term is high crimes and misdemeanors. that goes t to treason andes bribery, not just because we hate the president of the united states, they should not be political but clearly because they had it come out even before they saw a shred of evidence. it's just a political tactic and they should not ever be allowed regardless of whether there is a dke or r after your name. >> tucker: will there's a political element to it because it plays out in the congress. >> but it shouldn't be. that is a separation of powers and we are going to look at what the evidence actually shows and that is why there's also a separation of powers of the house has to impeach and the

scent has to try, the chief justice of the united states supreme court has to try. >> tucker: so everything has. but if you could sum up, just because i think it's helpful like they do in high school side forake the other a second. what is your opponent saying? if you could sum up their case in one second, what is it exactly? >> hating president trump, that's literally all that they have. and so this is just a shotgun tactic that we use in legal speakk to say they are throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks. nancy pelosi had evidence of something that she can't clearlt they know they can't even reach the threshold of capital clause. and to hear say we will impeach the president of the

united states based on something can't articulate is of dirty political tactic and this should not be anything that the democrats want to go in front of. and if anyonee is paying attention then they should not vote for this party in 2020 simply because they hate the rule of law and are only interested in power because of their own purposes. >> tucker: i got that. but i'm thinking if i'm the president talking out of the ukraine and he sang at like $400 million of military data, the first answer is, no. get it from the e.u., we won't pay for that. and second why did you shut down the investigation to the company that was paying all this money to the vice president son? >> you can have multiple subjects of discussion in a single conversation. i think as adults we do that all the time and probably president trump with the head of state, and he doesn't talk to him every day. >> tucker: great to see you tonight, thank you.

the press has pushed impeachment from day one. boy, do they hate trump. but they are also addicted to trump. what are theyon going to do when trump is gone? can you imagine? a lot of lonely reporters. we will tell you what they've been saying today is our coverage of the insanity of the day continues, the next. a ♪

people calling for impeachment but also not launching an all-out assault on the presidency. >> tucker: it's still a dismembered baby though, i mean -- sorry. that in the end will be embarrassing. you announce impeachment, but then you don'tn' impeach, and is hard to see how pelosi wins or how anyone but donald trump wins. >> remember president trump could have released the transcript last week. he could have released the whistle-blower complaint and could have released the ig report a week ago and avoided all of it. >> tucker: don't let me -- i don't actually know if he could have released the whistle-blower complaint. there is some debate as to whether that's true or not. >> he could have said it,

explain to american people why this wasn't an issue and not let it build up for a week before doing so. so he has some culpability in this. >> tucker: so you are saying that trump -- trump wanted to be impeached, is that t what you ae saying? >> i think -- he had been trying to get the far left riled up and this is exactly -- he plays into the new cycle, like no politician f before. we fallen into a trap with this and he has basically picked his opponent for 2020. have you seen beto o'rourke talking about this? you realize the difference in stature between joe biden and the rest of these people irreles between joe biden and elizabeth warren. i think it's important for us to understand that and not fall into the trap again. >> tucker: he is the puppet master it sounds like. i don't know if i believe any of

your theories but they are interesting. good to see you. the media didn't need today's news to start pushing for impeachment, they've been pushing for that for about three years now for just about any reason at all. >> if president means anything in the trump era, donald trump must be impeached because of the crimes prosecutor say he committed in the michael cohen case. >> both parties need to get on board to pass articles of impeachment. >> you have constraints conspiracy, obstruction, campaign finance. >> if the democrats do not pursue this vigorously they must somehow advocate the responsibility. democracy is at stake. >> tucker: look, i'm not a shrink but you can't watch tape like that and look me in the face and say your average progressive activists is a happy

person, they are not. they have reason to get on board to come up they've been in deep trouble the last couple of months after the mueller report came out and reported that the whole last two years have been elaborate broad. it looks like the impeachment story might be over in the ratings might be in a permanent slump but come up with this week's news they repeatedl immey roared back into action. congressman dolly, delaying aid to far-off nations he couldn't find on a map is exactly the type of tyrannical f behavior tt the founding fathers staged a revolution to suppress. >> when the framers wrote the language around impeachment they specifically wanted to reach abuse of power when there was not an underlying crime. this is the presidency that the authors and architects of the impeachment language feared. w this was the presidency that they were worried about. >> tucker: it's hard to know

if he is being serious or not, let's give him the benefit of thes doubt. chris plante, a host of the crest plant, probably most incisive critic that we know. that was so stupid, i'm speechless. if trump were impeached and hauled off in manacles or wherever, sent back to palm beach, it's like what would they do? >> it's pathological at this point, it's manic, it's really nutty. i'm concerned for the well-being of a number of these people. they are behaving as though they are lawyers and they really just grabbing snippets from "the new york times" and parroting what they read this morning.

and they work hand and glove with the democratic party. they are in fact the functional wing of the democratic party and the news media, much more functional than nancy pelosi or chuck schumer on capitol hill. they of course raise no questions whatsoever and they have absolved the biden family, past, present and future, of any wrongdoing, possible wrongdoing or theoretical wrongdoing. they are in the clear and it doesn't matter, we got joe biden on tape expressing what is clearly a quid pro quo. if the prosecutor coincidentally is investigating a company that is paying his son a great deal of money. the news media has no interest in this whatsoever. imagine if president trump was on the phone demanding that they lay off of his son in the ukraine and fire the prosecutorw that is investigating his son? i think the news media might be onto something there. we are no longer in the realm of

articles of impeachment involving high crimes and misdemeanors. now it's an ever evolving news story that started out in "the new york times" with a call to the president of the ukraine and there was a promise made of. what happened to that promise? then the democrats wanted just the transcript or a recording. as soon as the president announced that they were going to give them the unredacted transcript, chuck schumer struck the goalpost. in reality we know that it's just anything, anything will do. the news media on scrupulously fails to ask all of the obscene obvious and salient questions that if you register curious high school newspaper reporter, you might start asking. amazingly the entire institution of the fourth estate, continues to fall down on the job. i am beginning to suspect that

this is not just a coinciden coe at this point. it's remarkable. you could ask about the dichotomies about what joe biden did but you don't ask that. i was reading a story, he was requesting help from a foreign government to tar or smear his opponent. that's what the dossier is. the whole dossier is -- and then it was repackaged as a dossier with just opposition research from russian intelligence to smear -- >> tucker: whatever they are accusing you of doing is exactly what they are doing themselves. chris plant, great to see you. boy, and has that been a weird day of news. still not exactly sure what's going on and that is why we are so grateful to have brit hume,

after the break.

. . .

>> we're continuing our coverage tonight. impeachment is all of a sudden looking like a possibility. but there is nothing new about talk of impeachment that's been going on since the day this president has been elected. what does this mean exactly? there's no one better to answer that question then brit, senior political analysts on fox news., i still don't know the animal. why are democrats doing this? it doesn't seem politically wise. >> brit: it strikes me tucker, that the speakers areane under pressure from the left wing of the party and the leftists in their caucus, who are numerous, to move ahead here. the loathing of donald trump and the desire to get him out of office is very intense. they've gotd constituents backn against trump in a serious way,

so it comes down to this. what's striking to me about this, tucker, is that trump has already agreeing to release the full unredacted transcript of his phone conversation upon which this whole thing is supposedly based. and, t as of tonight, he's also apparently prepared to release the whistle-blower complaint they are saying they must have. now, i ask you this. dore you think donald trump woud go forth and release two documents that were highly incriminating? i have my doubts. >> tucker: me, too. of course. to do so, so quickly, which makes this whole thing seem even more idiotic. i don't think nancy pelosi is idiotic. i think she's good at politics, that's why she's the speaker of the house. so what is she thinking, do you think? >> brit: i think she'sdo thinking that she needs to be responsive to the needs of her caucus.'s look at what she did today. it was really quite clever if you think about it. did she have a vote in the house to conduct an impeachment inquiry? no. she did not.

she simply announced one.how isy different from what her committee chairman jerry nadler did just ten days ago? he announced that they are going forward with an impeachment inquiry. as a matter of law and constitutional activity, the question tonight is, has anything really changed? is this an action or is this merely a gesture? mymy sense about it is that it's merely a gesture. she has continued to protect vulnerable members of her caucuo forward on impeachment. she just announced it. now, they might have to defend that, but they can go forward and say, i didn't vote for this.we both have a hunch tonigt that if the president is willing to put all the stuff out, it may not lead anywhere. i think we may be able to surmise something about that as well.who has egg on their face.

some of our colleagues in the media might be looking at themselves a little funny. >> tucker: yeah, i think they are beyond that.
