>> yes. >> tucker: not only is michael flynn clairvoyant but so is vladimir putin. >> i'm sorry, no. he thought donald trump was going to lose and he thought the desired outcome was to be -- to undermine hillary clinton. >> tucker: doesn't all of this undercut that theory? the o effect of this is to have badly undercut the administration of donald trump. >> if hillary clinton had won, i was to want to punish the russians for what they did. >> tucker: why would he behind it? thisis hurts drum. why would putin want to do it? >> he has a guy in there who wants to roll back sanctions. putin is celebrating. >> tucker: if trump attacked russia, he believes it's an act of war, what would you say? >> this isn't military versus nonmilitary. i would say ratchet up the sanctions. p isolate russia. in 2021, i don't want to be sitting here with you talking about another country that attacked. >> tucker: when trump declares war against russia, i'm going to bring youu on. president trump had a lot to say tonight during a rally innk louisville.pr we go to kristin fisher who is d in louisville. nice t

yamis alcindor,, michael crowley, and film tucker. >> funding is provided by -- >> their leadership is instinctive. they understand the challenges of today and research the technologies of tomorrow. some call them veterans. we call them part of our team. announcer: additional funding is provided by -- newman's own foundation, donating all profits from newman's own food products to charity and nourishing the common good. coup and patricia ewing, committed to cultural differences in our committee. contributions from viewers like you. thank you. announcer: once again from washington, robert costa of "the washington post"." robert: good evening. president trump wasted no time blaming the failure of the republican healthcare bill on democrats. he called me moments after house leadership pulled the bill from the floor. he didn't blame speaker ryan. they just came up short. >> i told him that the best thing to do was to pull with this bill. obamacare. president trump: i think the losers are nancy pelosi and chuck schumer because now they own obamacare. 100% own it. and this is not a republica

. >> tucker: thank you. michael, president trump has signaled he has no plans to move against his attorney general, despite all the news today. it just a short time ago, the president released this statement. jeff sessions is a modest man. he has not done anything wrong. he could've state of more accurately. the democrats are overplaying their hand. they lost the election and now they lost their grip on reality. the real story is all the illegal leaks of classified information. it is a total witch hunt. that is not satisfied democrats of course. a democrat representing the state of rhode island, he serves as both the house were to sherry house judiciary. he tweeted this today... he joins us now. thank you for coming on. thank you, it is good to see. >> good to be on here again. >> tucker: it seems to be you are getting a little ahead of the story if you are already mentioning perjury. >> it is very disturbing, the attorney general of the united states testified before the american people and before a senate committe

>> yes, yes. >> tucker: so not only is michael flynn clairvoyant, vladimir putin is as well.e's the only one in the world... the thought hillary clinton was going to lose. >> the desired outcome was -- to undermine hillary clinton thick figure and she was going to win and go into office so badly. >> tucker: doesn't all of this undercut that theory?? the effect is to badly undercut the administration of donald trump. this weakens trump. >> if hillary clinton had won,ni would still -- want to punish the russians for what they did. >> tucker: why would he be behind a gambit like this? that winds up weakening a guy he supposedly loves. why would he want to do that? >> he has a guy in there right now who wants to roll back sanctions. t and reverse the role of nato. putin is celebrating right now. >> tucker: if he said i believe you, congressman, i'm going after russia with long-range bombers. what would you say? >> i would say ratchet up the sanctions. isolate russia. make putin pay for this. in 2021, i don't want to be sitting with you and talking about a different country that h

michael, thank you for coming on. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: you take china seriously as an adversary to the united states. more seriously than a lot of americans do. you have a lot of knowledge on the subject.t. if they are our main competitor, with global t trade, how do we approach the? what is the wise way? >> we have to be smart about that because we need to take a tougher stance on china but we need to do it in a way that isn't damaging to the u.s. economy. rather than throwing on blanket powers and it hurt u.s. companies, you want to be smart about it. very, very specific in targeting exactly how we want to fight china and counteract what china is doing. the real threat from them going forward is that they want to move up in the chain. they want the technology, tofr take on america's top industries had on. we have to really worry about that going forward. >> tucker: they don't want to make plastic garbage or balloons anymore.rd they want to design. >> exactly. right. a lot of people get all fussy about where our iphones are made. they are made in china but the fact

. >> tucker: so not only is michael flynn clairvoyant, vladimir putin is as well. he's the only one in the world... >> the desired outcome was -- hillary clinton will go into the office so badly bruised. >> tucker: doesn't all of this undercut that theory? the effect is to badly undercut the administration of donald trump. >> if hillary clinton had one night, i would still -- >> tucker: why would he be behind a gambit like this? this hurts trump, why would putin want to do that? >> he has a guy in there right now who wants to roll back sanctions. and reverse the role of nato. >> tucker: if he said i believe you, congressman, i'm going after russia with long-range bombers. >> i would say ratchet up the sanctions. isolate russia. make putin pay for this. in 2021, i don't want to be sitting with you and talking about a different country that has been attacking our election elections. >> tucker: thank you, congressman. president trump had a lot to say tonight during a rally in louisville. we go to kristin fisher who is in louisville. nice to see you. >> hey, this was qu

tucker: the propaganda against fracking? >> that's why the ambassador of russia freaked out when it looked like the administration was going to impose new sanctions which is why they called michael flynn. it is a disaster for their economy. >> tucker: they were writing long pieces about fracking. >> it actually was running long pieces, boosting that up. they were talking about what an important boom this will be for the russian economy. if you are wrong on that. >> tucker: your point is and the point of democrats is that devin nunes is such a partisan, he cannot continue in his role. if he was such a partisan, of course he is an elected republican but if he was so partisan -- why would he be allowing hearings in the first place? democrats would never allow a hearing. >> he just canceled a public hearing on friday with sally yates. who is going to come and testify. he canceled at the same day that allegations were going to come and contradict statements the white house had made about michael flynn. if your argument is that devin nunes is not partisan because he allows hearings, he's not. he just canceled two of them. >> tucker: we will have more. there are allowing -- i'm just sa

. >> good question from tucker, considering what happened with michael flynn why didn't you amend yourtatement. or did anyone on your staff say holy smokes perhaps should clarify? no. never gave that a thought, or considered he needed to clarify something when michael flynn was forced to resign over something similar. >> i think very different circumstances and sessions deserves benefit of the doubt. if you watch the whole questioning session, that was campaign context and he met with the russian ambassador in senate capacity. not unusual. and not unusual for ambassadors and other representatives of foreign governments to look at our campaign. i met with a ambassador in south carolina. it was simply a conversation where they were coming down to south carolina to witness the primary process and so on. it's not unusual for people in a campaign to have conversations with ambassadors at all. and in this case it was in his official capacity. so i think when you look at context, it's clear that he did not -- we was not referring -- >> i've got to ask you ron. >> thinking of himself in campai

in this case, michael flynn lied to the vice president of the united states who then perpetrated, or, perpetuated that -- >> tucker: how do we know that he lied? >> he was fired -- >> tucker: how do we know what he said in that conversation? >> you do know he was fired and if i could just -- >> tucker: stop. you just said he lied. how do we know he lied? what is the basis for making that judgment? it was in a classified transcript that was leaked by someone in government with the effect of hurting michael flynn, that with a felony. you said last wednesday that people that didn't leak like that were patriots. >> no, i did not, tucker. >> tucker: this is what you said. the fbi and the cia, and -- >> i was talking about the intelligence community and the fbi, i made it very clear in the article that you are quoting from that leaking is not okay. i was making a point that so many people within these institutions are concerned by the behavior and that the attacks. remember president trump saying comparing the intelligence community to the nazis? do you remember that, tucker? they risk their lives in places like pakista

left with a cloud hanging over it. >> tucker: here's what we do know the former administration did, we know that the obama administration spied upon and wiretapped michael a private citizen in a conversation with foreign officials and link that to the press. i don't think that's legal but that is a scandal because you should be spying on your political opponents. >> it's being covered in "the new york times" but the context is that the obama administration left a trail of breadcrumbs. if anybody wanted to look into this information, a lot of it was -- the classification was reduced, they just allowed people to see information that they did not want to see. what you are referring to his transcripts that were apparently taken of calls that were intercepted to the russian officials. that's apparently standard but the fact that they were transcribed and relayed to reporters is far from it. it's being protected as noble and virtuous. i'm not making a judgment on the information. but it is not normal. it is unique. >> tucker: or maybe it is normal. to use it against your political opponents is overwhelming. now it appears to be happening here. >> that is what

. >> tucker: that is not the only russian news today. former national security advisor michaelnn appears to have gone completely off the deep end and has claimed he will testify but asked for immunity in prossecusion. what to make of all this? a professor emeritus at princeton and nyu, unlike most people talking about this, he actually speaks fluent russian. he joins us tonight. thank you for coming on. so let me just say that there are a lot of strands to the story, a lot of things i did not understand. it seems pretty clearor that general flynn behaved in waysys that we are very hard to defend. at the core of the story was the allegation that the russian government hacked our election.s the phrase people are using. broke into email accounts at the dnc and in the campaign office, used those to help trump win. everyone assumes this is true. we are all operating on the assumption that it is true. do we know it's true? >> no, repeatedly it was said by senator warner, that of russia had hijacked our democracy. what he means is the russians, putin's direction had gone into democrat

michael, the core question, where is this going? i found that interview with the president and tucker carlson quite interesting.ome folks said that he was doubling down on his claim. actually, i don't think so. i think that he was picking up his chips and going to another table. he was backing away from the literal accusation that president obama had done which you have reported on and ordeedd the wiretapping of trump and in trump tower, but where this is going, michael, and i think that it is the lifeline that i think that the administration is hoping they can grab on to is something that we call incidental collection and may take a minute, but i can explain it to you and the virers how this might work. >> do it. >> okay. >> please, do it. >> okay. if we are up against a legitimate intelligence foreign target and for purposes of the explanation say that we are up for targeting, and you wanted to do this, say, a russian oligarch who is involved in money laundering or sanctions busting, and michael, this happens fayly routinely, but if that target now gets involved in the communication to, from, or even about a

tell you the favorite part of this morning michael thomas said hey tuck are i like your pocket square and >> thank i. >> it was nice. >> word wow never think tucker>> right that's why it was special and he said it with gusto i enjoyed it. metro delays earlier train malfunction at the plaza alresidual delays. and residual delays new carlton. there lot of slow downs on the green and orpth lines and safe track impacting blue an yellow with single tracking. take a look 95 southbound deal with disabled truck county parkway and few miles of show traffic and good news volume light, 95 north and south point and durp dunning into usual commute in stafford. and we also have inbound crash 50 arlington boulevard a car hit the srzy wall at beltway. reduce speed, watch for block ice, icy spot. including bay bridge this morning. told you about the delay. it's anything to volume we have a disabled tractor-trailer before west virginia avenue 'aand you're backed up inside bw parkway. allow for 15 extra minutes to pass through new york avenue northeast. taking a look at eastbound randolph road we have a crash blocking right lane at tivoli lake boulevard. caution as

michael fastbender. >> this is alien covenant. a lot of questions surrounding this everyone wants to know this is a sequel to promethiuhs or sequel to alien. >> tucker texted me and said he could not sleep. >> why. >> because tucker is pro promethius. >> this is the six m film and the ship they're in is called could have napt and you can actually see the ship from promethius in the trailer. so we'll see what happens there. that opens up on may 19. i know tucker is really, really excited. >> really happy. >> is there a time limit for trailers? >> time limit? can it be eight minute long. >> i've seen long trailers before but that is 2 1/2 minutes general length last night on jimmy kimmel he had a trump-free tuesday. let's look at thi >> tonight we're having a trump-free tuesday [ cheers ] the president spoke tonight before a joint session of coming gress and we're going to ignore it for a very good are on the reason is i need a break from it to be honest with you. >> kinlel went on to say if you mention president trump name had you to put 100 in the jar and on the show the reason i bring that up he released guardians of the galaxy two trailer and anot

tucker: they are mostly banal. what you reveal is the ordinariness of their thinking. i think college professors are smart enough -- michaelne of unlv, here's how he described trump on facebook -- stupid. a lot of people are basically kind of stupid. have you noticed that? >> i agree, it is lack of substance. these are people that are supposedly have doctorates and are so smart. they just dumpster dive into the pejoratives have no substance and no base. we just kind of laugh and say you are writing scholarly journals and being endowed for research? give me a break. this brings up a broader point. what is higher education really becoming? where everybody thinks the same and everyone is so liberal and it's sold to the left that is just a competition to find who can be the most radical. some of this is so baseless but it is important to point this out. people deserve to know. >> tucker: people are going to start to decide a humanities degree might not help my child, it might hurt my child. >> or corrupt them with this radical thinking. >> tucker: charlie kirk, thank you for joining us tonigh tonight. we'll be right back. so i

michael. say your best to your family too. our best, rather. coming up we have an interview going viral on social media. our own tuckeron taking on this liberal professor. he said he quote wanted to vomit when an airplane passenger gave their first class seat to a soldier. this guy probably makes 200,000 a year. tuition at the university, 42,000 a year. listen. >> why is it bad to give him a first-class seat? i'm missing that. someone trying to be nice to the guy who's going through all of these hardships that you just described and that makes you mad. why? liz: and we also have this story for you. sanctuary city mayors continue to push back against president trump's efforts to make the country safe. we've got a sheriff, he's pushing back. he's sending an open invitation to federal immigration officials to come on in and arrest people. he's ohio sheriff richard jones. he's with us to tell us about his personal crack down after this. don't go away anything worth pursuing requires knowledge, hard work and a plan. at baird, we approach your wealth management strategy the same way to create a financial plan built to last

meanwhile straight ahead our 8:00 hour we have got tucker carlson and ed henry and jason chaffetz and michaeldent of the united states, he has information and intelligence that the rest of us do not, and that's the way it should be for president. >> i think he's right in that there was surveillance. >> he is going off information that he is saying has led him to believe that this is a very real potential. >> these are remarkable allegations. i think another attempt by president trump to change the subject. >> a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes involving former obama administration officials trying to undermine what trump is doing. >> part of the national security apparatus that i oversaw, there was no such wiretap. >> everybody needs to take a deep breath. we are working in a bipartisan way to collect facts. >> fbi director james comey is now asking the top law enforcement in america to say president trump is wrong. >> it does appear that mr. trump's phones were tapped and the only one who can ask for it is the obama administration. >> you're an ignoramus and so is the president. that'

michael spence. he will discuss globalization. catch that 7:00 a.m. in new york. this is bloomberg. ♪ francine: "bloomberg surveillance." tom, let's talk about banks. mark tuckerl be the new chairman of hsbc. he will start at hsbc on october 1. tucker's major task will be to find a successor for ceo stuart gulliver. let's bring in jonathan, who covers banks from bloomberg intelligence. still with us, stephanie flanders. jonathan, when you look at the share price hike, what do people like? jonathan: the key thing is the asia focus. deleverage 300 billion of risk assets. they've cut nearly 600 billion of costs. it is all about asia. the rally, paul asia focused. mark tucker has a good track record in asia. francine: this is my chart. in white age hsbc. what does hsbc need to do to move up in terms of share price and properly become a stronger bank? capital: its positions improved dramatically. it is about the tough line. they put the basic cost to the right level. things like their target of growth in asia, growing loans faster than gdp, that is very much the focus. stephanie,e here, with what long-term is for a banker today. i was sort of flabbergasted that pet

tucker. amy: many democratic lawmakers are still calling for sessions to resign, but president trump has said the attorney general has been the victim of a "total witch hunt." sessions questioned recusal comes after michaelflynn resigned after it was revealed yet discussed sanctions in a call in with the ambassador and then lied about it. on thursday, "the new york times" revealed michael flynn and trump's son-in-law and senior adviser jared kushner, held a meeting at trump tower with the russian ambassador ahead of the p presidential inauguration. we are joined now by marcy wheeler, a an independent journalist who covers national security and civil liberties. she runs the website emptywheel.net. it is great to have you back with us. can you talk about what you think is most significacant in this whirlwind of allegations and now a recusal from attorney general jeff sessions? >> as people think about it, it is helpful to think about the three things we should be concerned about with russia and donald trump. the first is whether or not anybody on his campaign was involved in the hack of hillary clinton, whether or not they work operating with the russians. the second one is whether we know -- and trump was
