RUSH TRANSCRIPT Tucker Interview ░░░░░░░░ making off a lot ░░░░░░░░ news tonight and it ░░░░░░░░ tomorrow as well but ░░░░░░░░ t change anything about ░░░░░░░░ underlying facts of this ░░░░░░░░ such as they are ░░░░░░░░ Democratic strategist and a ░░░░░░░░ consultant for the Department ░░░░░░░░ Homeland Security and he ░░░░░░░░ us tonight Thanks for ░░░░░░░░ on Thank you Tucker ░░░░░░░░ many other things this ░░░░░░░░ a reminder that there ░░░░░░░░ an investigation in progress ░░░░░░░░ the question of Russian ░░░░░░░░ in the last election ░░░░░░░░ it s being conducted ░░░░░░░░ the most widely respected ░░░░░░░░ organization in the world ░░░░░░░░ FBI So given that ░░░░░░░░ in the world would ░░░░░░░░ want a separate political ░░░░░░░░ of this as Democrats ░░░░░░░░ calling for The president ░░░░░░░░ that in the same ░░░░░░░░ that you were showing ░░░░░░░░ that he actually had ░░░░░░░░ with Comey and in ░░░░░░░░ he asked if he ░░░░░░░░ to say was talking ░░░░░░░░ look at job interview ░░░░░░░░ then he asked my ░░░░░░░░ investigated He said think ░░░░░░░░ that This investigation is ░░░░░░░░ the Trump campaign and ░░░░░░░░ they colluding with Russia ░░░░░░░░ this last election Whether ░░░░░░░░ agree with the investigation ░░░░░░░░ not investigation is happening ░░░░░░░░ president of the United ░░░░░░░░ who Comey worked for ░░░░░░░░ what the president look ░░░░░░░░ a job interview asked ░░░░░░░░ being investigated That the ░░░░░░░░ improper So there s ░░░░░░░░ sense that an independent ░░░░░░░░ needs to look at ░░░░░░░░ because the president is ░░░░░░░░ the closing this His ░░░░░░░░ coming forward Carlson Before ░░░░░░░░ get into the closing ░░░░░░░░ the rest of the ░░░░░░░░ points Let s stick ░░░░░░░░ the core here This ░░░░░░░░ a story that will ░░░░░░░░ matter a month from ░░░░░░░░ This is investigation into ░░░░░░░░ Russia connection I think ░░░░░░░░ whole thing is ludicrous ░░░░░░░░ doesn t change the ░░░░░░░░ that it exists And ░░░░░░░░ s obvious to me ░░░░░░░░ would like to politicize ░░░░░░░░ even further by creating ░░░░░░░░ parallel investigation run by ░░░░░░░░ chosen by elected members ░░░░░░░░ Congress and my question ░░░░░░░░ you remains why is ░░░░░░░░ FBI investigation inadequate Is ░░░░░░░░ FBI corrupted Is that ░░░░░░░░ you re saying The ░░░░░░░░ just fired the FBI ░░░░░░░░ and a signal that ░░░░░░░░ third firing his hat ░░░░░░░░ people that were investigating ░░░░░░░░ So it becomes points ░░░░░░░░ you go the first ░░░░░░░░ was fired then you ░░░░░░░░ a Justice Department official ░░░░░░░░ acting attorney general fired ░░░░░░░░ now you have the ░░░░░░░░ of FBI fired There ░░░░░░░░ a pattern here Tucker ░░░░░░░░ President Trump Sally Yates ░░░░░░░░ the acting head of ░░░░░░░░ Justice Department The FBI ░░░░░░░░ reports to Sally Yates ░░░░░░░░ s the governing structure ░░░░░░░░ can Google that Tucker ░░░░░░░░ conspiracy is getting too ░░░░░░░░ for me to keep ░░░░░░░░ with Though I do ░░░░░░░░ every night Are you ░░░░░░░░ that Trump fired Sally ░░░░░░░░ in order to squelch ░░░░░░░░ rush investigation I thought ░░░░░░░░ fired Sally Yates because ░░░░░░░░ contradicted his executive order ░░░░░░░░ immigration She came specifically ░░░░░░░░ talk about general Flynn ░░░░░░░░ came to the White ░░░░░░░░ and said we have ░░░░░░░░ worry about general Flynn ░░░░░░░░ contact with Russia is ░░░░░░░░ he may be blackmailed ░░░░░░░░ ve made him a ░░░░░░░░ security issue Soon after ░░░░░░░░ she was fired Tucker ░░░░░░░░ a different matter You ░░░░░░░░ saying she was actually ░░░░░░░░ one thing that they ░░░░░░░░ t know was that ░░░░░░░░ was actually fired at ░░░░░░░░ Putin s orders I ░░░░░░░░ I think you should ░░░░░░░░ at this Tucker I ░░░░░░░░ I have been every ░░░░░░░░ Stated as a Sunday ░░░░░░░░ look at very calmly ░░░░░░░░ White House just this ░░░░░░░░ firing has multiple stories ░░░░░░░░ just because they say ░░░░░░░░ fired her for not ░░░░░░░░ on the travel ban ░░░░░░░░ supporting the travel ban ░░░░░░░░ t mean that s ░░░░░░░░ reason why she s ░░░░░░░░ Every single day Tucker ░░░░░░░░ At the bottom line ░░░░░░░░ are you saying that ░░░░░░░░ FBI I m in ░░░░░░░░ tens of people who ░░░░░░░░ there is corrupted as ░░░░░░░░ institution by Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ s been in office ░░░░░░░░ four months and in ░░░░░░░░ time he somehow corrupted ░░░░░░░░ body of the FBI ░░░░░░░░ people who work there ░░░░░░░░ you re not saying ░░░░░░░░ then why would you ░░░░░░░░ the investigation from them ░░░░░░░░ handed to somebody appointed ░░░░░░░░ politicians This is a ░░░░░░░░ sense There s a ░░░░░░░░ ways of doing this ░░░░░░░░ could have an independent ░░░░░░░░ that s appointed by ░░░░░░░░ Justice Department That can ░░░░░░░░ brought up You can ░░░░░░░░ independent prosecutor or a ░░░░░░░░ that is appointed by ░░░░░░░░ intelligence committee or in ░░░░░░░░ Senate There s multiple ░░░░░░░░ of doing this Tucker ░░░░░░░░ would that be The ░░░░░░░░ of the matter is ░░░░░░░░ is an issue here ░░░░░░░░ needs to be investigated ░░░░░░░░ president seems like by ░░░░░░░░ actions doing everything he ░░░░░░░░ to intimidate the people ░░░░░░░░ very people that are ░░░░░░░░ him And so if ░░░░░░░░ believe in all the ░░░░░░░░ and order presidency then ░░░░░░░░ should be accounted to ░░░░░░░░ law as well as ░░░░░░░░ else The confidence in ░░░░░░░░ Tucker Part of the ░░░░░░░░ the average person is ░░░░░░░░ confidence is because the ░░░░░░░░ has spun this ludicrous ░░░░░░░░ incredibly complex conspiracy theory ░░░░░░░░ re saying that the ░░░░░░░░ is corrupt You can ░░░░░░░░ down the list of ░░░░░░░░ leaders in the house ░░░░░░░░ the Senate You keep ░░░░░░░░ left Tucker I care ░░░░░░░░ facts If you care ░░░░░░░░ facts that he one ░░░░░░░░ as to the lack ░░░░░░░░ The president with the ░░░░░░░░ to fire people that ░░░░░░░░ doing anything You get ░░░░░░░░ the bottom of it ░░░░░░░░ This is totally fake ░░░░░░░░ totally disingenuous it s ░░░░░░░░ for the country to ░░░░░░░░ an independent investigation That ░░░░░░░░ not true You can ░░░░░░░░ me if you want ░░░░░░░░ trying to insult you ░░░░░░░░ m just trying to ░░░░░░░░ out something to you ░░░░░░░░ Thanks, I appreciate i
