"the story" goes on tomorrow night, see you ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." looking back january of 2017, seems like another age. so much has happened in the years since then but in other ways not that much has changed at all. donald trump is not even taken the oath ofru office at but by e first week of the new year of 2017, in case you don't remembe remember, washington had already committed to destroying his presidency and trump seemed to know it. a little after 8:00 p.m. on the night of january 3rd 2017, the president-elect wrote a tweet. he took a veiled dig at u.s. intelligence agencies for the handling of the then newly initiated russia investigation.

pretty much the same moment, senator chuck schumer of new york was arriving at msnbc's midtown manhattan studios. he went to the set and anchor of the show hef was on that night, rachel maddow, pulled up trumps tweet on a screen. live on tv and asked chuck schumer to comment on that week. schumer hadn't seen that week before, he couldn't have known it wasor coming. for one of the most calculating politicians in washington, it was a rare unscripted moment. and so for the first time in a long time, chuck schumer just went with the unvarnished truth. watch what he said. >> let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from sunday of getting back at you. so even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he's being really dumb to do this. >> tucker: so he went on to say he didn't know exactly what the spy agencies would do to donald trump as punishment for being dumb enough to criticize them in public, but, he warned,

this is a verbatim quote, "from what i am told they are very upset about how he has treated them and talked about them." very upset. got it? there's no mistaking what that was. that's a threat. issued on liveve television with great seriousness by a politician who's been in washington long enough a to know that it's absolutely real. in the end, donald trump ignored it. more likely, he decided to defy it.ft they after day he gave the finger to the permanent washington establishment, often on twitter, sometimes at press conferences, but always with unmistakable relish. trump acted like a man would won an election in a democratic country. he seemed to feel free to say exactly what he really thought. he didn't appear to believe that thee intelligence agencies had veto power over his agenda. in a thousand different ways the new president refused to bow and for that crime, more than any other crime, he was punished. most readily by by the manufacr ukraine scandal.

the intel world, meanwhile, has become increasingly defined. just yesterday a former cia director john brennan expressed outrage that anyone would dare impose oversight on the intelligence agencies to secretly oversee our lives. >> i'm supposedly going to be interviewed by mr. durham as part of this noninvestigation. i remember william barr when he was testifying in front ofia congress, he said he didn't understand the predication of the counterintelligence investigation that was launched into russia's interference in the 2016st election. i don't understand the predication of this world wide effort try ton uncover dirt, either real or imagined, that would discredit that investigation in 2016 into russian interference. >> tucker: john brennan is a naked partisan and he's a liar. he's acted in ways that would have shocked and horrified previous cia directors, and that's saying a lot. john brennan is not ashamed, far from it, is proud, and so are his many acolytes in washington. philmont is is a former cia

employee. look so many from intelligence world, is now a contributor at cnn. last night, he sent an on-air warning to the president and his lawyer. back off or prepare to get hurt. >> i spend a lot of time in government. there are state department officials who will testify, intel guys, department of defense people. all of us are sort of a brotherhood and sisterhood. rudy giuliani parachutes in from mars. at the people whoe will testify are going to look at him, including state department officials, and say "i don't have to protect that guy. he didn't operate by the rules. he didn't do what you're supposed to do in government." i suspect he's worried about what the congress wills do. if i were him, i would be worried about whether people in government stick a ship in his back, he's in trouble. >> tucker: so it's a brotherhood, says phil mott of the cia, a brother that will stab you to death if you disobey. what phil mott is describing is not a conventional government agency. it's nothing like what most of

us imagine when we think of what washington is doing on our behalf. the cia of john brennan and phil mud does not exist for our benefit, it exists solely for the benefit of the people who work there. we pay for the whole thing, but they do what they want and they punish anyone who criticizes them. they brag about that. that's scary of course, is a perversion of democracy, it's exactly with the people who created the cia feared most. but it's also, if we're going to be honest, it's annoying, because for all of the hype, the cia in the end isn't even very good at its job. remember, this is an intelligence agency. so it's fair to judgeai their performance against whether or nott they predicted crucial events over the past 70 years and again and again they didn't. the cia, for example, was shocked by the korean war. they didn't predict the soviet atomic bomb. not a small thing. it missedom the cuban missile crisis in the 1973 arab-israeli war.

it spent decades trying to bring down fidel castro, to kill fidel castro, so naturally his regime never felt. he lived into his 90s. meanwhile, the cia spent decades propping up the show of iran, so naturally he tumbled from power. they didn't even provide a h p warning before that happened because they had no idea what was going to happen. when the iron curtain finally fell in 1989, the cia was completely blindsided. they thought they had just predicted the soviet union was as strong as ever. and things didn't get better after that. the cia had no idea that saddam hussein planned to invade kuwait the next year in 1990. they were totally surprised by india's atomic bomb test eight yearssu later. by 2003 there were totally confident that iraq had weapons of massal destruction. in fact, their biggest success in the past 50 years may have been creating the taliban. if john brennan had been working for a nonprofit business there would have been a shareholder revolt a long time ago and probably criminal charges. he would have been sean don mcgahn delorean. but because it's a secretive

government agency, the cia has not been restrained.d. in fact, it's only become more powerful and more autonomous. powerful enough to take on a president? we willo see. one reason the permanent washington is so powerful, of course, so resistant to change or oversight, is that it makes alliances with some of the least impressive but most ambitious members of congress. just days ago for example house intelligence german adam schiff claimed his office had no contact whatsoever with the cia whistle-blower. >> first off, have you heard from the whistle-blower? do you want to hear from the whistle-blower? >> we have not spoken directly with the whistle-blower. we would like w to. >> tucker: he also claims to know nothing about what was in the whistle-blower's complaint before it came out. but yesterday "the new york times" revealed that both of those claims were lies. schiff apologized in a way saying that he "should have been much more clear." right. schiff now admits his office spoke to the whistle-blower, by the way we learned tonight is a

registered democrat, but insists his office did nothing to shape the complaint itself, but why would we believe that at this stage? congressman devin nunes? is rigt in the middle of all of this, he's the ranking republican on the house intel committee he joins us tonight, former chairman of it. thanks so much foror c coming on very >> gratuity. >> tucker: do you believe this expedition to mexico no. this explanation? absolutely not. >> tucker: it looks from the perspective of people from the outside like adam schiff's t office guided this complaint like it was a set up. >> and it looked like he knew something beforehand because this was in k the press, then yu had tweets, you have stories written by known effusion gps reporters, and then you fast-forward, a couple of times he could have told us in private tat this had happened. nothing by law makes him -- he doesn't have to tell us, but he clearly gave no indication that he had ever met with the whistle-blower or anybody on his team had ever met with the whistle-blower. that's the real issue here. two opportunities -- two

opportunities behind closed doors and he didn't tell us. >> tucker:uc so this is not one among many stories, this is the basis for the impeachment of the president of united states. it's not a small thing, it's the opposite of that. how could any of us have confidence that this isn't just a pure partisan invention? >> it is a partisan adventure and it is not a real impeachment the way that impeachment process has worked the other times it's been used. i just came from the capital and we had nine hours of ambassador -- if you listen to the mainstream media and the democrats, this was going to be the guy that was going to give up all the goods on rudy giuliani because this was the special envoy to ukraine on behalf of the trump administration. of course they went on and on and on.rs why do they keep going on and on? because they weren't getting wanted.y i came in there at the end. i felt horrible for the man. he's been a public servant. he is getting married in a few feks and he just wants this to be done with and of course you wouldn't know that by what

linked up before his testimony on what is leaked out ever since then. >> tucker: have to ask you of the cia since who oversaw it, you were in charge of the oversight of the cia and the other intel agencies as the chairman of the house intelligence committee. do you feel that our intelligence agencies are properly overseen by the congress? does the congress -- what does democracy have control, full control of these agencies? >> i think you could argue over the fbi counterintelligence area that started this investigation into the trump campaign, no, zero. if the fbi has not cooperated throughout this investigation. perhaps with what the attorney general is doing running an investigation into the beginnings of the russia probe, yes. the cia, i think the challenge has been and what republicans have been pushing, when you go out -- it got to remember, these agents put their lives on the line, okay? the people that are out in the field. the challenge you have is

there's wayou too many intelligence officials and consultants and former agents now pontificating on networks that live here in the n swamp. and look, there's a reason how a small cadre of folks are in the swamp and i can't give the number but i can just tell you that a majority of people are here in the swamp, which is not what they should be very >> tucker: of course not, a majority, overlooking mexico i would think it's about a majority. when you take department of defense, cia, dni and all the other 17 different -- >> tucker: hanging around the capital city, course they are. >> lobbying for more money for the programs. and i will tell you, one thing that people forget, i was the one, ironically, in the spring of '16 when their openinghe investigation into the trump campaign for colluding with the russians, i went out and set the basic to biggest intelligence failure will since 9/11 our inability to understand

vladimir putin's plans and intentions. in the spring of 2016 and of course you know what they did to me, the press corps in this town and the, democrats. >> tucker: you were the rotten rotten -- >> i was the secret russian spy. >> tucker: we are communicating i think in russian when we would meet secretly in the park. congressman, great to see you, thank you. former fbi deputy director of counterterrorism joins us tonight. thanks so much for coming on. tonight. so when you hear former intel officials threatened elected leaders with punishment for disobeying bureaucrats, what's your reaction to that? j >> well, it's just sickening to watch that and i want to make sure i say right away that i'm not part of any brotherhood with philip mod and i can pretty much tell you neither is anyone i've ever met up to with and mostly the guys there today and ladies, i doubt they would be anything but appalled at what he said last night but you have to put it in perspective and look at

the last two years. for the last two years john brennan and philip mod and nd unfortunately as devin nunes talked about, have gone on television and essentially call the president of the united states a russian agent and we don't have time to even get into it, but most of those people had no room talking about anything like that because they have plenty of problems themselves that anybody that would start reading about them would know, so this is really awful and we are here. it's very interesting. we've come full circle. we started with the intelligence community and adam schiff a couple of years ago. and russia. and now we are back, only we are here with him in charge of the intelligence committee and we are talking about the ukraine. twhat strikes out at any person who is really worked cases, and i like to talk about them as real fbi agents, most of us learn from the mentor at the fbi academy or in our first field office,d when you want to do an investigation and yount want to get to the bottom of something,

then look for what is abnormal. find out what the normal is, whether it's a company, group, whatever, and then find the abnormal. and all along we saw the abnormalities in this. it began with susan rice. susan rice and the unmasking. i was in the fbi 30 years. i worked nothing but mostly national security cases. i never made a request to unmask anyone and i never had a politician make any kind of request to unmask any case i'd been working on. that's just abnormal and then she got on tv in 2017 and in a direct response lied about it. she was asked to know anythingsk about what devin nunes has said and she said i don't know anything and you see that play out in all of these examples. christopher steele was closed as an fbi asset. that's the term in counterintelligence for an informant. and then he was -- and then he was worked by by the departmenf justice attorney. totally abnormal. >> tucker: the country changed a lot under the obama

administration for eight years in ways that we are just now coming to understand. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> tucker: while democrats were screaming for impeachment, sometimes literally screaming forr impeachment before donald trump even tookme office. rashida tlaib is selling impeach the mother effort t-shirts but nancy pelosi still wants you tot know impeachment really was a final resort. it's a very sad thing. she keeps telling us that. she is so sad it turned out this way. she would like you to pray with her about it. >> this is a very serious, very serious challenge to the president has put there. very sad. >> so yeah it's sad. >> this is a very sad time for our country. >> first let me say that this is no cause for any joy. if this is a very sad time for our country. it's really sad. we have to be very prayerful. i pray for the president all the time. this is a very sad time for our country. this is no joy in this.

it's sad. >> tucker: the news anchors, the morons, the robots, not vacantly when she is -- we really have to pray foran president trump. it's very sad -- i haven't been this out since old yeller died, really, very sad. richard goodstein is a former advisor to bill and hillary clinton and he joins us tonight. how sad are you? are you a set is your speaker? >> my reaction to this is there's a lot of projection that happens between -- >> tucker: there certainly is. >> between trump supporter's and i think here's a case where they can't quite fathom that a speaker could feel this because they neverer felt anything like this around the clinton impeachment buried you never heard a soul on the republican side feel any sense of remorse for going after him, trying to kick them out of office -- talk about a coup, because he had sex and didn't want to talk about it. >> tucker: what you said is true, i was there, that's absolutely right. if you were to ask republicans in washington now, including the

republican in washington who led the impeachment charge, of course there then speaker of the house newt gingrich, we just talk to him about this, all of them would tell you it's a mistake. all of them would express regret. all of them -- they don't like clinton, but that was not a good idea. so i just wonder, since you brought that up, two years from now are democrats really going to say it was a wise idea to make up this ludicrous, unbelievably dumb story about ukraine -- no one even has her heart in it. no one really believes anything bad -- impeachable happened. he really think in two years democrats are going to say that was really smart? pickle here's the thing about this whole hoax business about ukraine. if the president's words. whether the whistle-blower is an armor or or adr came from mars or whatever they blew the whistlee about, we see the so-called transcript. incidentally, it's an abbreviated, truncated version because it doesn't come close to being 30 minutes worth of words. >> tucker: what you think is missing? >> you tell me!

something -- the public increasingly with each passing week is more andnd more inclined to say yeah, actually i think it should be impeached. >> tucker: so sad. let me ask you very quick, do you really think that the transcription office at the white house is collaborating in a conspiracy run by donald trump to hide who knows what, a spying agreement that he reached with the president of ukraine, seriously? >> we know they try to hide it, right? >> tucker: you think is relevant information that's been excluded from the t transcript? >> we have the rosemary would get from mixing. >> tucker: it's too dumb. >> what it reveals in what they went to the trouble to hide ultimately was. the public now thinks he should be impeached forha it. for what we've actually seen. >> tucker: it there's an election in a year, you don't like trump, that is the referendum. it's a democracy. >> if it was with an intern, but he's trying to get china and ukraine -- >> tucker: china? >> to make sure that we don't

have a fair election. >> tucker: it's pretty funny, after literally the democrats for the past 30 years just give away our entire country with the republicans,rate to china, and other like collaborating with china. if the only president to take oe china in american history -- >> hats off to him for doing that, incidentally. seeking help from them to help them won and the other side lose, that's a t problem. >> tucker: saying dumb stuff as news conferences, great to see you. mark steyn will be here in just a minute. also congresswoman and aoc squad member rashida tlaib says detroit police need to hire people based on their skino color. we are not exaggerating. we have it. we will speak to the police chief of detroit, plus, can you be our two nose professionals at remembering everything where that happened this week? final exam just around the corner. ♪

missed in the conversation over facial recognition as we understand that the technology is flawed. we have built in safeguards and i can't speak for other police departments, but the safeguards are we have trained analysts, professionals and then it's peer-reviewed by yetn a second analyst and then only after that does a supervisor come in and concur with their findings. so we understand that if we let the technology run on its own, this going to be missed identifications. we recognizess it. but what the congresswoman misses, she never talks about the victims and the cases that were soft, some pretty big cases involving mass murder suspects, it's almost as if, well, does it really matter? it's a deflection and its constant and most detroiters it -- i will tell you not just detroiters, but across the country over the last 48 hours i've gotten so many messages

from americans saying we support you, we know what you're doing, stand your ground. >> tucker: 's or just to be clear, your employees who screen the information, who interpret the data, don't have to be of a specific race in order to do their jobs? >> absolutely not. they get the same training. they are professionals. and you know what it's akin to? it's almost as if saying okay, a white police officer cannot work in an african-american community. i've been in this business 42 years and i've always worked in diverse police departments. l.a. for example. black and white police officers working together very effectively. that doesn't mean that there are individuals that are going to do bad things. both black and white, brown. and so her statement was based on nothing. she provided me what she calls a peer-reviewed study. about why blacks tend to better

recognize other blacks, but what's missing inn the study, it has nothing to do with the professional training that analysts get and as you indicated, measurements. it's not about race. it's biometric training based on measurements. >> tucker: exactly. i should point out to our viewers, i believe you are the police chief of portland, maine. >> portland, maine. yes. >> tucker: one of the whitest cities in america and a very popular and successful chief of police there. it's not about race, it's about confidence. thanks so much for coming on, appreciate that. >> thank you, thank you, tucker. >> tucker: it's been an unexpectedly tough year for punitive democratic front runner joe biden. his demographic profile is decades out of date for the party wants to lead, something he didn't realize, but has since learned. elizabeth warren is now beating him in iowa andnd new hampshire. his party's plan to impeach trump meanwhile revolves around

highlighting his own family's corruption. that's not a good thing. so was it over for joe biden? he says it's not. in a soliloquy last night biden said isas not giving up. >> let me make something clear to mr. trump and his hatchet men in the special-interest funding his attacks against me. i'm not going anywhere. [cheers and applause] >> you arere not going to destry me, you're not going to destroy my family. we have to do more than beat donald trump. we have to beat him like aa dru. >> tucker: so that was the verbatim take. if that's what biden actuallyve said, but we will concede that to us here on the show it sounded a little more like this. >> ♪ and i am telling you ♪ i'm not going >> tucker: author and columnist mark steyn always has music in his head and he joins usmu tonight.

so joe biden, you have watched -- i want to say you are a professional biden comments were but you certainly watched him carefully for three decades or more. where are you now onee joe bide? >> well, i'm where i was on the original broadway run of dream girls where she comes out and she sings and i'm telling you i'm not going for 15 minutes and at the end of it she goes. and that's going to be the same thing here. joe biden can say i'm telling you i'm not going, but he will be -- by the way, when he said it just like that it reminded me of a character on ellen the generous' old sitcom who gets sick and her boyfriend takes her hand and says don't worry, paige, i'm going nowhere. and the character -- and paige says back to her boyfriend, that's a whole other issue. when joe biden says he's going nowhere, he is right, but that's a whole other issue.

>> tucker: so there isgh a kind of sadness about this. if looking back, and it's always clear of course in retrospect, but biden was never going to be the nominee, was he? >> no. and i think in part because what happened in recent days confirms it. last time around, the democrat enthusiasm was for bernie, who was full-blown socialism and so-called moderation and centrism was represented by eclectic] , which was hillary and the clinton foundation. now we have the same situation, there is bernie, there's younger prettier bernies in the seven dwarves and all the rest of them, and centrist moderation is represented by another corrupt kleptocratic. there's no reason why hunter biden, a middle-aged man who should have moved out of his

father's home by now should be riding around on air force two. there shouldn't be an air force two, but that is another issue, but if there is an air force two, hunter biden shouldn't be jetting into china and ukraine. joe biden and his first presidential campaign by driest milk in it, the welsh labour party leader. and said that he was the first biden in a thousandid generatios to go tohe college. he stole that line. hunter biden is the first biden in a thousand generations to become a ukrainian oligarch. and trump is perfectly capable of hanging that round his father's neck all the way until election day. >> tucker: i think that's exactly right. i think a lot of the trump people are worried most about biden, but i think biden would be the easiest to beat for them. >> absolutely. and i think he is not where party is. if you would have the same issues that hillary had. i notice, by the way, today he

says never mind, iowa and new hampshire, he's got a super tuesday firewall. i had an email from mike murphy, jeb bush's campaign consultant to that effect exactly four years ago saying the same thing, trump may win inam new hampshir, but we've got everything after that, sewn up. >> tucker: when they say it, they don't believe it. >> they don't. >> tucker: mark steyn, great to see you tonight, thank you for that. >> thanks a lot. >> tucker: a small group of civic minded volunteers managed to clear 50 tons of trash from the streets of los angeles in a single day. it's not like the california budget isn't big enough to afford things like this. why haven't they tried? the organizer of that event joinss us next. ♪
