again, there's at least some coherrens to what tucker carlson is saying, but the notion if all of these allegations are true that is somehow acceptable behavior by the president, i don't think that's an america that any of us would recognize as the kind of country we believe in. >> congressman himes from connecticut, thanks for being with us this morning. >> thank you, john. >>> another pressing geopolitical development overseas and that is the war in syria. the white house says u.s. troops are moving out of northern syria, making way for turkey to invade the region. and the move essentially abandoned american-backed kurdish forces in the fight against isis. ben wedeman live in beirut with the breaking details. i've been following your tweets all morning and reaction coming in from around the world. >> reporter: yeah, bianna. it's not really a surprise that president trump wanted to pull american troops out of syria. last december he made that announcement and that, of course, led to the resignation of the defense secretary, mr. mattis, but the way that he announced it really did shock

even one of the president's staunchest defenders on air and online, fox's tucker carlson, says trump's ukraine call was inappropriate. adding, some republicans are trying but there is no way to spin this as a good idea. let's get right to cnn's jeremy diamond at the white house. this comes as the white house indicates it won't cooperate right now with the request to hand over documents to congress. >> reporter: that's right. the white house counsel's office is indeed drafting a letter to the house speaker nancy pelosi that essentially says they don't feel compelled to comply with any of these document requests until the house members take this impeachment inquiry to the vote on the house floor essentially voting to formally open this impeachment inquiry. that is something nancy pelosi says she does not have to do despite the fact that it has been a precedent in some past impeachment inquiries. what we do know is the white house sees this as a political opportunity as well. they would love to see those moderate democrats, those democrats who won in 2018 in trump districts take a vote on

and even tucker carlson's little sidestep the other day didn't really mean anything, because most of ws, per se. we see fox opinion. it's "fox and friends" in the morning. it's tucker and sean at night by the time we have the kids, grand kids put to bed, sit down after supper. it's all opinion. so fox's opinion would have to change big, and i don't see that happening unless we see something truly egregious that would move my republican friends, but it's going to take a lot. they really think the personal qualities, his willingness to break all rules and expectations of the presidency are what is needed. no other republican would do what he's done for the evangelical right, the republican right that he's done. everybody else would have been too conventional. he's a kind of hero, still. >> so twenty-seconds left. as we cover this in the weeks to come, what's the one thing we've got to remember in the cable news coverage? >> well, speak to conservatives. hear what they have to say. one of the things some of your earliest panelists said in the program is speak the truth trying to reach mo

this is the tucker carlson line and the best one anybody has come up with so far but this gives you an from the president. mitt romney said this behavior was appalling and the president lost his mind and spent the weekend tweeting at mitt romney while he was at a pumpkin patch with his grandkids living his dream. so i think there are republicans who are legit mally afraid of the tweet and afraid of what it will do to funding and the base and that is why the silence. >> and so if it was a joke like marco rubio have now been tweeting this. this is what rubio tweeted today. potus asking china to investigate biden is wrong but it isn't going to happen. how can he assert that? why does he get that from? >> that is now the fourth approach they've said. first was he was joking and second is the democrats are partisan and third it was okay and now it is not going to happen. you are seeing simply they don't have a strategy here. a coherent strategy. so compare this to the democrats right now. you have nancy pelosi and adam schiff doing press conferences alone with a very targeted and narrow mes

tucker carlson is trying to walk a fine line here.ht it was pretty remarkable, because tucker carlson has been a pretty reliable ally of this president, so i'm curious to see what tweets he receives, because this is still criticism. to be sure. it's also reminiscent of how democrats defended bill clinton during his impeachment. we disagree with what he did implicitly. at the same time, it's not impeachable. the question is, does that argument work? and chuck, i think we can't underscore this enough. there seems to be a second whistleblower who is poised to come forward. does this whistleblower change the conversation in any way? >> kay, this -- you're the iowan here, the red stater in that you're seeing -- you see the people that get the two different realities. and some people live in one reality, some people live in another reality. what ron johnson said to some people is going to sound like chuck's the crazy one, and others are going to say johnson's the crazy one. >> what i find interesting is when i'm talking to republicans and d

. >> tucker carlson from fox news at one point in the not too distant past labeled me a leader of anti-fawas news to me. i was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> well, wow. >> kamau bell is among on the record things a host on cnn, he is a supporter of antifa, they hate this country, they want to tear it down. none of that seems to matter to an that fa, you are peddling hate. >> it was funny, i've never been to a meeting. for example, the pronunciation, antifa, anti-fa? >> antifa. >> how would you describe yourself? >> the way i describe anti-fa, do you approve of passis ifasci? >> no. >> if euyou're opposed to fasci, you are anti-fa, it's anti-far itch. that could be a lot of things. say they're a great programmer and they can build a website to educate children. do you think people deserve love? anti-fa. >> so anti-fa is anti-far itch. in a world of politics where does it land on our far-right spectrum? it doesn't. >> the political compass is more a square. bottom left,er that where you find an narc call communism, which is the political ideology i have now. no leaders, no hierarchies. the top

tucker carlson taking over from washington, d.c. coming up. have a great night everybody. ing and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." an awful lot has been written about the eternal divide, the fracturing within the republican party. it's not all spin by the way. some of it is very real. and then i will talk to a republican senator who is gravely dissatisfied, angry with lindsey graham's leadership. doing nothing to get to the bottom of russiagate. at the same time you almost never hear anything about what's happening with the democratic party. maybe that's because outwardly democrats and united in their loathing for donald trump. but inside the party, democrats made fact heat each other more.

. >> joe, if i can pivot back to the impeachment investigation, turker ca tucker carlson wrote an op-edroad map for republicans. he said the president's actions are not defensible, but they're not impeachable. bad but not impeachable. how effective could that argument be if they stick to it? >> last week i said the president's defenses were not sustainable. because facts kept undercutting them. i think both the president and the hill now have hit upon something that -- where they. you know, that this is sustainable and could live with. i think there's echoes in turker carlson's line. i think he was signaling to the hill, you know, follow me on this. there's echoes of where the democrats were in 1998 which is, we don't approve of what the president did, but you're sure not going to turn him out of office for this. now, comparing the two on its face is ridiculous. but i think that the republicans can stick with that if they show some discipline. the president for his part can stick with i didn't do anything wrong. opposed to trying to say i didn't do it or trying to say it's the deep stat

and even tucker carlson came out and wrote an op-ed -- even tucker carlson said this is not a good presentation a perfect conversation. tucker disagrees with him. and once do you that, you're in a different ball game and talking about what do we do about it? when you said the white house strategy, i think jay rhodes said there is no white house. there is no coordinated strategy. do you think the white house, quote/unquote wanted donald trump to stand up and say china you should investigate joe biden too. i'm sure that wasn't part of the political strategy. he goes out and says mad stuff and as long as he continues to do that, he'll continue to dig his hole and how will democrats enforce it and what will you do to officials that don't turn up. and whose idea is to hire trey gowdy and you saw the video -- he's done a u-turn like lindsey graham. the guy who had the fake benghazi inquiry when there was no story is the guy you will go to discredit what was a real story. >> and it is a way to put rudy on the sidelines more. >> perhaps. >> trey gowdy is all over television, i'm very curious to see how

fox's tucker carlson obtained this photo from 2014 showing the bidens on a golf course, donald trump'sggested on twitter the photo contradicts the former vp's statement. >> is it a sad reflection of politics and what the president needs to do? he thinks in order to win. >> i like joe. he is a fine man who served this country but this is an explicable. >> hunter no longer serves on the board. he told the new yorker he had no idea his time would create so much grief for his dad's campaign. >> in addition to questions about hunter biden's background, the best-selling author of clinton cash so someone needs to ask questions about what was paid for. >> joe biden was appointed by barack obama to be point person on us policy, china and ukraine. in both instances his son got lucrative deals where he had no qualifications. he was paid $83,000 a month by the ukrainian energy company, no background in ukraine or energy and he got involved in a private equity deal to the tune of $1.5 billion even with no background in china and no background in private equity so the question is what was he paid to
