that. you're doing a great job. >> martha: thank you, great to see you as always. thinking don't like to carry that that's the story of this monday, but as always, the story goes on and on, we will be back here tomorrow night at seven. see you then. ♪ ronna mcdaniel a good evening and welcome into "tucker carlson tonight." just about three years and donald trump donald trump was inaugurated, the left has worked tirelessly to end the in administration by nondemocratic means. at tonight that they're closer than ever to reaching the goal. yet, and another reminder that human nature is more complex than the human genome, they don't appear very happy about it. in fact, closer the impeachment gets, the more despondent they seem. as the buddha himself once noted, man lungs to drink through a lotus blossom to

discover the nectar is most bitter of all. they had high hopes for president trump, they want you to know that. you could be mildly critical from time to time, but more in the most loving way as a parent corrects a child. opportunity for self improvements. underneath it all, they were rooting for donald trump, they want, we strip it all the way they are patriots too. they want what is best for the country. if pastor good intentions rolled donald trump's faithful phone call to the president of the ukraine that changed everything. the democrats have no choice but to impeach the president of the united states. sometimes you have to overturn a democracy in order to save a democracy. in fact it's enough to make a hardened political figure like nancy pelosi be upset. >> this is a very sad time for our country. i say this very fearfully and

carefully. this is a very sad time for our country. it is very sad to, we to be very careful. i pray for the president all the time. this is a very sad time for our country. there is no joy in this. it is sad and we must be somber and we must be prayerful and we must proceed as further. >> tucker: it's just sad, there's no joy in this. we are somber. prayerful. that's the official position of the democratic party, and they rolled it out and they tested it this weekend talking for one of the sunday shows and tellingly, that a single news anchor challenged them on its greatest strangely, though, no one seems to inform congresswoman one of the parties most visible levers, she still selling t-shirts emblazoned with her most famous quote impeach the mother f'er."

instead, a weekend of contemplative prayer. she will get on it at some point. god will know what she says when she does. say what he will about her other friends of the squad, there's a lot more, there's a lot more honest than windbags like nancy pelosi. they're not even bothered to weep and pray. we've been pray? they are thrilled! their little closer to 92 seizing power. it's their perspective that's good. they could care less about the system they would like to tear the system down. if that's the point. mainstream democrats meanwhile, though, ever worried about what normal people might think are still trending out increasingly possible lies. we see the latest tonight that's maybe the best. they're telling you that the ukraine saga is actually about national security concerns. watch. speak out that his classic abuse of power which undermines the national security. if this is as serious as it gets. >> president has put at risk or

national security. >> our president sacrifice to our national security. >> this is a very serious matter of national security. >> at the expense of our national security. >> president united states is willing to compromise national security. >> the tipping point is clear, it was national security full stop. >> tucker: national security! a causey or cortez who could not find ukraine on the big type math. how did the president jeopardized the security, by delaying, they say, military aid to ukraine. that jeopardizes our national security. yeah. if anything jeopardizes our national security, it's sending mindlessly sending military aid to ukraine in order to antagonize russia. what do we get out of that? could come up with the answer? oh, there's no answer. we don't get anything out of this at all. of course, no one in the present

pauses for 32nd to question the poor story at the bottom of this. if were sending close to half a billion dollars to ukraine because why? because an couple of people think we should? please. another thing that puts our national security at risk for real is when you make it impossible for the president and any president to have private conversations with his counterparts in other countries baited with other foreign leaders remember the closest world ever came to where was 1952 with the missile crisis. how did that and? how did it de-escalate you. it ended when our president reached a deal with the soviet president when they secretly, they make concessions to one another secretly. i could not have done it in any other way. if they were self-righteous around in 96 96 e2, the world d have blown up. that that's not an overstatement. it's a huge problem. it's this president or any president can't perceive with the expectation of that at his own cost, his core about the job

will remain private. honestly, they care about national security because the monk's yeah, they're worried about national security. this is nothing to do with national security. that is the most annoying. it's about power. it's about a power grab. it say what you will about aoc and the rest of those hyper aggressive, at least they're honest about that. there's something sort of nice. about someone who is honest about his aims even if the aims are disgusting and contemptible and scary which is power grabbing. at least you don't have to wade through a bunch of self righteous air to get there. bottom line, democratic party wants to pretend the 2016 elections never happened and make sure it can never happen again. as washington expresses the fake concerns about national security, you can't pretend to be worried, no one thinks hundred

hundred biden deserves that gig in ukraine. no one seems a sense that he got it anyway. last week for example, joe biden told peter doocy this is above because he never talked with us on what he did abroad. watch. >> i never spoke to my son about the oversea -- here's what i know. i know that trump deserves to be investigated. he is violating a brief basic norm of the presidents. if you should be asking him the questions. why is he on the foam with a foreign leader? >> you should be asking him about what he's doing. that's what they want to see. but the question is the factual matter because this is a news channel, we will answer the question, the most basic one. is biden's claim true? photograph obtained exclusively by the show, not to break, but we did suggest the claim by don mike might not be interpreted

biden on a 2014 golfing trip with his son as well as his son business partner, at the time, this picture was taken, both of them on the board of the ukrainian energy company, the author of secret empires, and the political class highest correction and enriches families and friends. if that could be more a title we don't think so much for coming coming. we also sent you more of the emails obtained exclusively, when he was doing for the ukrainians. what does it add up? >> isaac it adds up to it that biden family cashing in through corruption by proxy. joe biden and his wife joe biden can't take payments from foreign entities, that would have to be disclosed and that would be easy to catch. but you set up your adult kids. in the case of the bidens, joe biden was the point person for the obama administration. in china, ukraine, and lo and

behold the two countries that hundred biden ended up doing the most businesses with overseas are china in ukraine. the amounts of money are astronomical and the deals that he got got absolutely nothing to do with his background. he had no expertise to sell and he had no skill set to sell, to chinese or ukrainians. he was being paid for something, talker, and certainly wasn't his skill sets. i thickly know what he was being paid for. >> tucker: i watched over the weekend, i don't watch a lot of tv, but there's an impeachment footage and seems like it was worth checking in and i saw a news anchor after news anchor, all the channels. they backed down suggestions that there was anything wrong with hunter biden arrangement with the ukraine. while it they said that? >> i think the rules are different for certain people. does anybody believe that those news anchors that they were talking about donald trump and donald trump jr. going to ukraine and don jr. get in, by

the way, hunter biden was being paid $83,000 a month. we know that because we have the bank records. the accounts that it went into. his business partner ended up in a criminal trial and we got the banking records. does anybody think the name was trop instead of by the end that the news anchors on the sunday morning would have the same attitude? it's ridiculous, everybody knows the answer to that and i think talker, this is what frustrates people more than anything. frustrates people more than anything. you know, love, i think people a lot of people like trump or do not like tron. like the democrats don't like the democrats, but the end of the day, they still want to believe firmly that we are a nation of laws not of men. but, it depends on what your last name is it depends what your political affiliation is. think about did we hear in 2017? after the 2016 election, everybody said you can't investigate hillary clinton, she's not not running for anything anymore.

she's not going to be in office, you can't investigate her. what are they saying now? joe biden is running for office, so you can't investigate him either. question becomes, when you get to investigate anybody at the highest level for criminal conduct? answer is apparently, for one side of the aisle, you never get investigate our people ever. >> tucker: yes, let's make it very easy for the traveling come up with that picture back on the screen. here's joe biden and his son and sons business partner. the two of the four guys in that picture where working for the ukrainians. if did they talk about it on the golf course? there is, right there. someone asked joe biden that. not obligated. >> look, you know that he lied when -- we know that because his own son hunter biden told the new yorker that he did talk to his father about the deal. we also know that devon archer in the picture had a meeting in the white house one on one on e

meeting a week before they joined the board. finally, we know it relates to the china deal in the chinese officials and business partners to hunter biden admitted when they took the trip to beijing b, china, he introduced him to the father while they was on the official trade. he was lying when they didn't conduct business, there's so much evidence otherwise. >> tucker: he's not a threat, china is a threat. thank you so much, peter schweizer pritam >> thank you, tucker. >> very certain it's an impeachable offense. it does not always feel that way though recently as two years he and he had of a different view. trace gallagher joins us, trace. >> hi, tucker because i think all that lasted 8 minutes, he tweeted just a portion of the column to show what he called democratic hypocrisy when it comes to asking foreign

countries for political dirt. two people known posing and telling adam shift that they have new pictures of president trump from when he came to russia in 2013. for the miss universe pageant. the dj claimed that they had a weird russian model and singer and a russian journalist talking about the photos. a congressman shift appeared to bite. >> so, if recordings of both these people where they're discussing the material a congressman scappeared to on this dish mr. trust? >> we would welcome a chance to get copies of the recordings. >> it certainly appeared that adam schiff was eager to get to get the recordings, the printers trying to get that damaging material. as congressman points out, it appears shift now has a different view of foreign healt.

>> it's illegal and improper and a violation of oath and in violation of his duty to defend the elections and our constitution. the president to merely ask for foreign interference. >> adam schiff's office now says at the time, they thought that the prank phone call was likely bogus and yes, they followed up. tucker. >> tucker: [laughter] that's okay. sasha shows up, oh, trace gallagher, thank you for that. the constitutional law, the advisory board of the trump 2020 campaign. thank you so much for coming on. you're an attorney, you're an expert on standards, it seems a little confusing for confusing for adam schiff to say it's illegal and immoral to solicit dirt from a foreign citizen and then to look at that tape where he does exactly that. you feel no advertisement?

>> tucker, the democrats didn't have double standards they would not have any standards at all. i mean, for adam schiff to be saying one thing and then turning it around approves the democratic party is interested in the rule of law, they're interested merely in making us their laws and rules as they go. if you look at the testimony that was given the congressional hearing last week, adam schiff tries to manipulate all of those terms into just their own standards. they try to save, and maguire did such a great child and just cutting through all of that. now, this is the legal standard and not the manipulated definition that you want to provide. for example, he tried to say that quote unquote credible allegations" means that the whistle-blower had some sort of factor truth, it would be in my saying, i know that you're wearing tennis shoes. i know for a fact, you are not

wearing dress shoes. that's an incredible allegation because i'm in the position right now to actually observe that. but does that mean that there is any sort of truth or that american people should simply believe that? will they might come up because you're known for wearing tennis shoes but that does not mean that in a galaxy to my stomach allegation is any more or less credible because i'm in the position to observe it where average viewer would not be in the position to make that type of -- >> tucker: and you almost convinced me that i'm wearing tennis shoes. i'm wearing wingtips. if that's the point you're making. >> do we know that for sure, that we have that investigation. if each of. >> tucker: adam schiff, of all the people you can pick in the democratic party might be the least credible, he called me irrational. so, do they really want him as the appointment for this? >> they should not, but this is just the ridiculous typography f

the drama, left. they forgot, the, the mueller investigation did not go anywhere, there stomach they've been beating a dead horse for so long and they're just forgetting about that and that's all they're trying to do with it is bring the attention off of president trump and get you and me and every other voter to be very concerned that if we are voting for president trump and pressed 2020, maybe where voting for sort of some trees and sky >> tucker: that's patriotic of course. great to see you so much. they exist to serve in bringing information. watch this. but in some cases, agents and officials have played a key role but in the russian story and a lot of it seems pretty politica political. the former ca officer, long stories history, he joins us. john, it does seem like cia, not

most of them, but in a bunch of cases, cia employees are acting as kind of political officers. that's my read on it. >> it's getting worse and worse as time goes on. just look at the whistle-blower complaint and use the whistle-blower in quotations here. i made a whistle-blower complete in 1996 1996 if an illegal camn contribution. i read a memo, i sent it to the vig, he sent it to the federal election commission and it was done. in this case, this went through layers of editing and coordinating and lawyers were involved in managers were involved. it looks like a legal document. it does not look like a whistle-blower complaint and the whistle-blower that we keep talking about is just a phase of an entire group of the cia thats pushing this thing forward. spewing wow, you not sing that as someone -- >> no, your -- the director of

the ca learned of this whistle-blower complaint from "the washington post" and "the new york times" she learned of it through the chain of command because i went all the y up to the top before and went to the opposite. one other thing to remember, able to run the cia, almost all of them are holdovers from the obama administration. if they senior intelligence services, senior intelligence officials as i as, during the oa presidency and there are holdovers. they are there for 20, 30, 35 years. they know that they can outweigh this presidents. spew on what advice would you give to the presidents >> if i could give the president advice, i would say to turn to the senate enter into the senate majority leader and ask for an investigation of the cia. we need hearings on the cia. and reform in the cia because this is not the way that this whistle-blower system is supposed to work. >> tucker: would be afraid of them if your president trump native >> oh, yeah, i think that they should be afraid of him.

they're very arrogant. >> tucker: john, thank you for that's freedom >> it frightens me as an american. hillary clinton is back in this time to push impeachment. in showing up on the screen, right before impeachment began. we will be right back. ♪ here, it all starts with a simple...

hello! -hi! how can i help? a data plan for everyone. everyone? everyone. let's send to everyone! [ camera clicking ] wifi up there? -ahhh. sure, why not? how'd he get out?! a camera might figure it out. that was easy! glad i could help. at xfinity, we're here to make life simple. easy. awesome. so come ask, shop, discover at your xfinity store today. ♪ >> tucker: -- well, it's been almost three years since the

2016 elections. collectively, the democratic party still hasn't moved on. but nobody is trapped in emotional amer like hillary clinton. every day, for her. she is already spent years counting the different excuses why she lost. she went even harder than that, cbs sunday morning, just collated its honestly. she claimed the election was stolen from her. it was stolen! she did not say who the thief was, . , and identify who stole the other election. >> tucker, i want for your verizon home to watch this. >> i think he knows that he's an edge element presidents. he knows that there were a bunch of different reasons why the election turned

out that dead. it was like applying for a job in getting 66 million and end. there were many things that happened in my elections that will not happen again. i'm hoping that both the public and the press understand the way that trump plays this game. >> tucker, she did not just say that but she also called for president terms impeachment. it listen to this freedom >> given the latest revelation which is such a blatant effort to use his presidential position to advance his personal and political interests, there should be an impeachment inquiry opens. >> so what i want to do is pull up a tweet from hillary clinton from october of 2016. here she says donald trump refuses to say that he would respect the results of this election by doing that he is threatened or stomach democracy,

what i find infuriatingbout what you said there, democrats are the one where threatening our democracy like casting doubts on the legitimacy of president trump. they are the one who are undermining or face an institutional the electoral process and remember, it was democrats and nancy pelosi's daughter leading the charge in 2016 encouraging its freedom it was been democrats who boycotted president trump's election. who lied about the russia collusion narrative and democrats want and move forward with the impeachment process of ending the 2016 election in 63 million americans votes. they are the ones that are threatening our democracy. >> tucker: what's so weird is, hillary clinton had the election stolen from her, that's the official position of the democratic party yet they're not anxious to restore her rightful

title as president by making her the front runner. it's a little bit strange, so, she had it stolen from her but we don't want her to run again. what's the reason there, do you have any idea? >> i think she learned her lesson and she's a terrible candidate didn't pray to speak on there like the levites. and speak there's another aspect to this, tucker, and there's tak about how president trump listed the ukrainians help but they were the ones doing the very thing that they accused president trump up. there's been documented evidence that democrats soliciting the help and also hillary clinton is the one who paid christopher steele for the opposition research which included sources that were connected to the criminal officials. >> tucker: if our viewers knew what those of our districts of columbia no, which is a huge percentage of politicians are

influenced by foreign governments, it's actually disgusting. for these people to be lecturing us, foreign interference, okay, too disingenuous for me. >> there should be reform on the recitation. it be so many people in d.c. lisa boothe, great to see. >> thank you, tucker. on spewing hillary happy to accuse the president of krupp deals, but to be the most corruf all, but certainly in the running, the clinton foundation. the clinton foundation received massive donations when the world expected hillary clinton to win. when she did not win, what happened to the money? good question, they been keeping track. former analyst, host freedom pe cared deeply about childhood ob. every bit as much in 2017 i'm

guessing. or no freedom >> good news we have the results of the experiment now. i remember over at cnn during the election. i do say to people, we understand that the clinton foundation and the global initiative, there's a lot of shady stuff going on there. saying objects stupidity, of course not, it's just a charity. like they're doing now, by the way, with hunter biden. i saw this on sunday. $2,000, is that illegal, it looks illegal and it could be illegal maybe we should investigate but looking specifically at the clinton foundation, they had to drop after she lost the election of 50%, tens of millions of dollars. i think all the sudden climate change and childhood obesity did not matter quite as much. of the global initiative was shut down. dozens of people were fired. they had to go through their new york state notification process for mass layoffs. what happens all of a sudden, you would think that the politician who's no longer going to be in power would have more

time. if you think that the focus could be really on all the good that they were doing and i think they should look into this one. >> tucker: it sounds like, i don't want to come to the conclusion here, i'm in a peer assisted by temperaments, it almost sounds low by an influence peddling scheme. not a charity. >> if you're going to be running a charity, you should probably work hard to celebrate out your people for large sums of money which they should do, also, soliciting enormous sums of money for speaking and consulting. as a consulting firm that was run inside of the clinton foundation. you should not bundle all these things together and also this is not a former politician, this is somebody who was the expected to be presidents. not so but he who is going to be, the expectation and the democratic party and i think it's funny now we see something where once again, the cons dominic cut stability, how publu

think of the thing. he was worth every penny of that month. he might've been but not because he was so good at the ukrainian gas output. >> tucker: hunter biden was a likable guy. >> i'm sure! >> tucker: so, that sort of the points that hunter biden of all people scamming the system he was the worst at at. if by far. but the guys who also knew were like high-level, varsity level squeeze balls. those are the guys who got rich in the end. >> like i said, hillary clinton lecturing the trip administration and the people how he selling foreign policy is the ultimate insult to intelligent people but he has a lot of expertise in this great heat she is actually knowing what she's talking about. >> tucker: great to see you. new york immigration law, threatening you, for speaking your mind on immigration. we will tell you why, plus robert they are just had another

episode. mark steyn's responds to that. musical medical prior to going to aspen dental

i've had nineteen surgeries. i'm 100% permanently disabled from the military and after i went in to aspen dental it was just like night and day. they told me they were gonna take some x-rays, she said "and it's gonna be no charge to you".

>> tucker: new york city is a sanctuary city, that means federal immigration laws are ignored and so the officials do their best to protect illegal aliens. even the criminals from deportation. if you're created the own category of immigration laws that target not people who are here illegally by people who were born here like you. for example, a new decree from the new york human new york human's commission says that "ordinary people can find up to a quarter of a million dollars if they use language that illegal immigrants don't like." some of the band's words include asking employees to speak english, threatening to call ice on building tenants or even using the phrase, illegal aliens which is an official u.s. government phrase in a derogatory way. associate editor, the first

amendments, i think it's right in there the bill of rights. it's not operative in the biggest city in the country know? 's because it's there, they're working honest. their work and, as, the left they want to control language because if you control language, and thought you can control behavior. technically speaking, the new guy of the human rights commission, it really pertains mostly to housing, employment, and public accommodations. that is not how they put it out there. they have put it out as you said it, that using the word "illegal aliens" in a very broad context could -- it's illegal. and could get you fines and creative >> tucker: i mean, the first amendment has been interpreted immediately by supreme court to protect all speech except imminent calls to violence.

how does new york get around that? >> they would say that it's in pleasant discrimination so, if you're an employer and you want to make sure that your employees are advocates are truly citizens, or truly have work authorization. that would be a kind of -- you know, desperate impact. if it's a very wide ranging results. if i with you there. >> tucker: so, if i trach it took take the train and use the phrase "illegal alience." that would get you in trouble. >> because part of the law does cover -- i can't remember what the term is, like threatening and basically discriminatory intent. if you're posing any kind someone could interpret that as a threat to their safety and violence you could get the five. >> tucker: this is how it begins.

the last completing speech with violence. if i don't agree with what you're saying, therefore i feel threatened and therefore you're not allowed to use your first mmn's rights. >> you heard me drop the eyewear campaign, this is going on for a while they been pushing it. they want to illegal aliens driven dominic stricken from michaela bill ayers. >> tucker: we should fight meant and i don't care of every big company will assigned on this. what's at stake, the most basic of law which is the freedom to say what you want. >> a great breed of spewing a great breed of great to see you tonight , seth. a bit of a hothead. she's on this, the spy. >> where the f are you i don't get these situations. [bleep] where are you?

>> tucker: that's just the greatest piece of tape you ever, here you have this incredibly leveraged guy who really is the embodiment of privilege in new york city screaming i probably some foreign-born driver while his assistant covers his face so we can see him prorate the service. that's just the greatest! he cares about the little guys. he went to cnn over the weekend talking to this quickie little spokesman that the chairman of cnn employees. this book when said, hey, robert de niro, famous actor, what you think of donald trump? fox news! here's how it he's out. up next. >> this guy should not be presidents. we say that's come up folks on fox come after you, remember they got up there and cursed, while the [bleep] and [bleep], this is chaos -- it's not an sec violation, but it's all sunday morning. >> tucker: luckily no, nobody

is watching. that's the good news. he was now watching but we did send him the tape. what you make of this, mark? >> you're right, there is a big audience on the sidewalk after that new york courthouse. but potentially, essentially cnn the booker negotiated for nuns getting robert de niro on the sd give us his insight into the trump administration and in the end he basically treats them the way he treats his minimum wage servants. yells at bryant the way he did to that poor chauffeur. but what's interesting here, going back to what you're saying at the top of the show, what you are saying and preferring her straightforward approach to what you call, menem speaker, a windbag. i think that was the phrase you

used. every story on tonight's the same story that it was something coming from the left, not from the presidential election. he said this guy should not be presidents. but it does not work like that's, you can't stick up. on the end. >> tucker: even if you're a famous actor? you can't >> now, and as he sai said, its white privilege to say that just because you and your s don't think this guy should be presidents, and -- dinero is to be a great actor. when he played the role, he played 60 pounds for the role. to go on the show and say that this guy should not be presidents, you need to put on 16 intellectual pounds to bring yourself up to the level of hillary clinton who, at least, says he shouldn't be presidents because he is colluded with the

macedonian farmers on the macedonian content farm in old macedonia. you have to at least put on and enough intellectual, like nancy pelosi and do that's old, this is as powerful moment for our country. we should all be prayerful. our legitimate president has colluded with the macedonian -- this is a bipartisan moment of freedom this is why we should all be careful that you will be delivered from the macedonian contents data and the fact that dinero just says, i'm the greatest actor in the world and all i can do is rain down expletives as you, brian stelter are my deputy under foot men >> tucker: that's it. it was interesting, i watched the first thing, because little bit over 70, probably around my age. we are getting older. how would you like to be, as

successful and rich as robert de niro? universally acknowledges a great actor, and be that unhappy? how does that happen? >> i think he's actually become the kind of potty mouth grandpa he plays in those comedies he's been doing in recent years. i think, that has actually idled him. the fact though, is, this -- its not good to to do anything. to remove term from office. then actually having dinero and television just loosing expletives isn't going to do it. if we should all be sorrowful and prayerful about our poor president who is colluding with all these people. i don't know whether that would do anything either but it's more of a subtle nuanced approach than just going the dinero road roads. >> tucker: the coalition for the most unhappy guy. you are not indents, mark steyn,

great to see you tonight. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: thick scandal around ukraine turns on the question as hundreds of millions of dollars in literary aid. we are told that if we don't sent to aids, the national security is in jeopardy. is that true? it's actually not. look what happens after the break because nobody else will. ♪ in the human brain, billions of neurons play in harmony.

for people with parkinson's, some neurons change their tune, causing uncontrollable tremors. now, abbott technology can target those exact neurons. restoring control and harmony, once thought to belost forever. the most personal technology is technology with the power to change your life. we met in this case, it can be traced back to military aid to

ukraine. hundreds of millions of dollars of military aid to ukraine. now, why are we sending? with the explicit purpose is to help ukraine battle russia. okay, you can see what ukraine would be in favor of apple why should you be in favor of that? does it help america? does it make you safer? christian, think so much for coming on. again, really simple. if i were ukraine income i would be in favor of this. why should i as an american be in favor of this? speak of the crisis is over, the media crisis that was telephones when vladimir putin said -- took a small part of ukraine which is incidentally russian but right now you just have a lot of aid going ukraine that is going up to nearly $1.5 billion if you go back to 2014 when they had this political transformation and the problem is, the places cook it. it's corrupt. a lot of places where we poor foreign aid over the years are corrupt and you get more

corruption when you do that. transparency is about 120 in the world out of 180 corruptions. that means they are the most corrupt country in all of europe except for russia. so i'm just a little confused by the posture i often here in washington where if i'm not really upset about russia messing around in ukraine or the use dona that i'm a traitor to america. why do we care so much -- i'm confused. >> why do we care? there's a reason to care. we don't want russia willy-nilly invading other countries although they are not front threatening to do that now. the real question is, why doesn't your health care? they are right there. germany's economy is two and half sign the size of russia and even look at the whole e.u., 13 times the size of russia. it's gonna be a little smaller the end of the month when britain pulls all but they have the resources to handle this themselves. his >> tucker: it's funny that my country is actually being

invaded by other countries from the south. look at the population movement in the united states without our permission. and nobody cares and carrying as itself seems a more but we have to be outraged, morally outraged that russia is making belligerent noises at ukraine. is that we are? >> i think it's weird. i think you have this europe mafia that just sort of things it's always 1942 or 1944 and they love being the panic over there and getting all this money but what are we getting in return? and also come are we willing to take this really bad relationship with russia, really pushing russia into china's arms, we really want to take on two great powers at the same time should we should think about that. we should have a debate before we sort of happened into that policy. a speech he why would we be friends with russia? no one has ever explained that to me. i've never understood that. china is the threat. it's really clear and yet washington is polluted with dumb people and it's forcing us to be a fellow of russia.

but then i'm a traitor. christian, great to see you tonight. thank you. well, congress is obsessed with impeachment obviously. nothing is getting done. but wait a second, let me revise that. nothing is getting done except one thing, the other day, congress did pass one important piece of legislation that shows what they really care about. we will tell you what it was and he will be surprised. ♪

>> tucker: america has an awful lot of problems that congress could and should be working on beginning with the fading middle-class. that's the central problem and then crumbling infrastructure, the crisis on the mexican border, and exhausted military, et cetera, et cetera. congress should be working on these things but they are not, they are distracted by the phony ukraine drama and so divided they couldn't agree on what to do with these problems anyway. on most issues they are divided

but on one issue they are in virtual and total agreement of your last one day that was the same day the house was convulsed with the impeachment of late. 229 democrats and 91 republicans came together in a rare moment of bipartisan agreement to pay of the soul banking act. say for whom? we dealers. even though marijuana is still legal federally, the bill would allow banking services to people who deal marijuana. so in the middle of the biggest epidemic in our history, the only thing they can agree on is that it ought to be easier to sell drugs to americans. okay. why are they so in favor of this? took a reason spared one, small number are getting very rich doing it. the former republican speaker is now weed lobbyist and when you mismanage this country this badly, you want the people to be so out of it they don't respond to that is really true. they want you to be done. choose so you can be awake enough to critique them and the

job they're doing. tuning every night-night at 8:00 p.m. to the show that is the sworn enemy of lying pomposity smugness and groupthink. we have great news for you tonight. live from new york city the one and only sean hannity ready to go. >> sean: great show as always. welcome to "hannity." we have so much information it will take the full hour that we will give you tonight but i promise you the media moths, the single most repugnant corrupt wine group of people in this country with a political agenda for one party, we are going to lay out the truth each and every detail with the president did absolutely nothing wrong. nothing. the democrats, the media, they are just outright lying to you again. three years of lies, coverups, conspiracy theories, and a hoax, they are doing it all over again. and this is from the country, i will tell you this, if you love our country, and i know you do, this is an all hands on deck moment.
