>> Tucker: WELL, A FEW WEEKS AGO, “THE NEW YORK TIMES” PUBLISHED A PIECE CELEBRATING THE SO CALLED DEEP STATE. THEY TOLD US IT WAS PROTECTING AMERICA FROM THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF DEMOCRACY.
BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT MOST AMERICANS DON’T LIKE BEING TOLD THEY ARE RULED BY UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS AND THAT THEIR VOTES MEAN NOTHING.
IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THEY DO, NO MATTER HOW ASSIDUOUSLY THEY ORGANIZE, THEY CANNOT CHANGE POLICY AT ALL.
SO EVEN AS AN ARMY OF BUREAUCRATIC TERMITES TRY TO IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT FOR DENYING MILITARY AIDE TO A CORRUP REGIME ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PLANET, CNN IS BUSY ASSURING AMERICANS THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY NO ESTABLISHMENT AGENDA IN WASHINGTON; YOU’RE RACIST IF YOU THINK OTHERWISE.
>> I THINK THERE IS THIS FANTASY THAT THERE IS THIS RESISTANCE WITHIN THESE ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE FBI AND THE CIA AND THE STATE DEPARTMENT, WHICH IN MY EXPERIENCE ARE NOT EXACTLY LEFT WING OUTFITS.
>> THERE IS, OF COURSE, NO DEEP STATE, NO RESISTANCE WITHIN THE BUREAUCRACY ACROSS THE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES PUSHING AGAINST THE PRESIDENT.
>> Tucker: THERE’S NO DEEP STATE! THERE’S NO RESISTANCE! EVERYTHING IS TOTALLY ON THE LEVEL.
WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING? WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN PEOPLE TELL YOU LIES THAT ARE SO IMPLAUSIBLE THAT THEY MUST KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT THEY ARE LIES EVEN AS THEY TELL THEM? WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?
I TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT’S ABOUT. WHAT YOU ARE WATCHING IS THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE LOSING CONTROL. WHY? BECAUSE OF THE INTERNET.
FOR ALL THE DOWNSIDE OF THE INTERNET, THE UPSIDE OF THE INTERNET IS THAT YOU REALLY CAN’T CONTROL ALL THE INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET.
BECAUSE THE AVERAGE PERSON KNOWS MORE THAN EVER BEFORE. AND SO PEOPLE, LIKE THE ONES YOU JUST SAW ON THE SCREEN, WHO HAVE HAD BASICALLY A MONOPOLY ON CONTROL OVER THIS COUNTRY FOR A VERY LONG TIME, ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY ARE LOSING IT. AND THEY’RE PANICKED.
THEY’RE FREAKED OUT. AND SO THEY’RE REDOUBLING THEIR EFFORTS TO LIE TO YOU, TO CLAMP DOWN ON SPEECH, AND ABOVE ALL, TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU SHUT UP AND STOP ASKING ALL THESE QUESTIONS.
TOM FITTON MAKES A LIVING AND IMPROVES THIS COUNTRY BY ASKING OBVIOUS QUESTIONS AND INSISTING ON THE ANSWERS. HE’S PRESIDENT OF JUDICIAL WATCH AND HE JOINS US TONIGHT.
SO, TOM FITTON, YOU JUST SAW CNN ASSURING US, AND NOT JUST ASSURING US BUT SCOLDING US FOR DARING TO BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS A KIND OF UNCHANGING PERMANENT AGENDA IN WASHINGTON. YOU LIVE IN WASHINGTON, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> Tom Fitton: OH, THERE CERTAINLY IS. YOU SEE THIS WITH THIS WHOLE DEBATE WHERE THE PRESIDENT’S OWN POLITICAL APPOINTEES ARE OPPOSING HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISE THAT HE WAS TRYING TO IMPLEMENT: TO HOLD BACK ON FOREIGN AID AND BE SKEPTICAL OF IT.
ANDREW MCCABE IS A CLASSIC CASE. WE JUST HAD A DOCUMENT WRITTEN BY ANDREW MCCABE COME TO US UNDER THE FOIA WHERE HE IS TALKING ABOUT WEARING A WIRE ON THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. WE HAVE CONFIRMATION: THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT INVOKING THE 25TH AMENDMENT TO LAWLESSLY REMOVE HIM. AND HE TELLS US THERE’S NO RESISTANCE?
THESE FOLKS DON’T LIKE REPUBLICANS GENERALLY IN OFFICE, AND CERTAINLY NOT THE TYPE OF REPUBLICAN DONALD TRUMP IS. AND THEY OPPOSE HIS POLICIES; THEY THINK OF WAYS TO RESIST IT, AND IT MEANS BREAKING THE LAW OFTENTIMES TO DO SO.
WE HAD, POTENTIALLY IN THE CASE OF THIS IMPEACHMENT, LEAKS OF CLASSIFIED INFORMATION THAT ENDED UP IN ADAM SCHIFF’S OFFICE THAT HE LATER LIED ABOUT.
I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THESE OFFICIALS ARE SO OBLIVIOUS ‒— WELL, I GUESS I CAN‒—SO OBLIVIOUS TO THE ARROGANCE THAT THEY EXUDE AS THEY SUBSTITUTE THEIR OWN WILL AND TRY TO SUBSTITUTE THEIR OWN WILL FOR THE WILL OF THE ELECTED LEADER OF AMERICA, WHICH IS DONALD TRUMP. IT’S UNBELIEVABLE.
>> Tucker: IT IS UNBELIEVABLE. I’M JUST THANKFUL THAT JEFF ZUCKER IS NOT VERY SMART OR THEY WOULD BE TURNING OUT EFFECTIVE PROPAGANDA ON CNN. AS IT IS, THEIR LIES ARE SO TRANSPARENT THAT NOBODY IS FOOLED. NOBODY STUCK IN AN AIRPORT HAS HIS MIND CHANGED BY CNN, THANK HEAVENS.
>>Tom Fitton: ANDREW MCCABE IS WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WHETHER HE IS GOING TO BE PROSECUTED FOR LYING FOUR TIMES ABOUT A LEAK. JAMES COMEY SOLD TRUMP’S FBI FILE, TO LEAK THEM TO GET SPECIAL COUNSEL TO GO AFTER HIM.
>>Tucker: THEY’RE PAID CONTRIBUTORS, SHALL WE TRUST THEM? HA.
