BUS.
NO WORD ON A POSSIBLE MOTIVE.
>> President Trump: THIS WAS A
FAKE WITCH HUNT AND IT SHOULD
NEVER BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN TO
ANOTHER PRESIDENT AGAIN.
THIS WAS TREASON.
THIS WAS HIGH CRIMES.
THIS WAS EVERYTHING AS BAD A
DEFINITION AS YOU WANT TO COME
UP WITH, THIS SHOULD NEVER BE
ALLOWED TO HAPPEN TO OUR
COUNTRY AGAIN.
>> Bill: SOME OF THE FIRST
REACTION FROM THE PRESIDENT
WITH SEAN HANNITY LAST NIGHT.
THE FALLOUT OVER THE FORMER
SPECIAL COUNSEL'S TESTIMONY.
SEAN SPICER FORMER WHITE HOUSE
PRESS SECRETARY WITH ME NOW.
NICE TO SEE YOU ON A FRIDAY
ESPECIALLY.
WHERE DO YOU THINK WE GO NEXT?
>> WELL, I THINK THE DEMOCRATS
ARE GOING TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT
HOW TO KEEP THIS THING GOING.
THAT HEARING REALLY TOOK THE
WIND OUT OF THEIR SAILS.
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE
VISUAL MANIFESTATION OF THE
REPORT.
THEY LAID IT ALL OUT THERE AND
THOUGHT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
WOULD BE WITH THEM AFTER
MUELLER TESTIFIED.
HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND PARTS OF
HIS OWN REPORT.
CALLED INTO QUESTION WHETHER HE
READ OR WROTE IT AND UNDERMINES
THE CASE THE DEMOCRATS WERE
HOPING TO MAKE.
IT WAS A VICTORY FOR THE
PRESIDENT.
I KNOW DEMOCRATS NEED AND WANT
TO KEEP THIS ALIVE.
THAT HEARING MADE IT MUCH, MUCH
MORE DIFFICULT.
>> Bill: WHY DID THEY NEED TO
KEEP IT ALIVE?
IS THAT MONEY OR A MESSAGE,
WHAT IS THAT, SEAN?
>> I THINK IT'S TWO THINGS.
ONE, THEY NEED TO KEEP THEIR
BASE MOTIVATED.
THIS IS SOMETHING THEIR BASE
WHEN THEY LOST THE LAST
ELECTION FIGURED THAT, YOU
KNOW, THIS IS THE WAY THEY
WOULD MAKE UP FOR THAT LOSS.
AND SO THEY'VE GOT A LOT OF
PRESSURE FROM THE LEFT WING
SOCIALIST PROGRESSIVE BASE OF
THEIR PARTY THAT'S FORCING THEM
TO KEEP THIS UP.
THE SECOND THING TO BE HONEST
WITH YOU IS THE PRESIDENT IS
ACTUALLY GETTING THINGS DONE.
THEY CAN'T RUN AGAINST THE
ECONOMY.
THEY CAN'T RUN AGAINST ALL THE
OTHER THINGS THAT THE PRESIDENT
IS DOING BECAUSE BY AND LARGE
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SUPPORT THE
PRESIDENT'S POLICIES AND THE
ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT HE IS
RECEIVING.
SO IT MAKES IT HARD FOR THEM TO
CAMPAIGN AGAINST HIM ON THE
ECONOMY, THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE
THAT PEOPLE CARE ABOUT.
WHEN YOU CONTINUE TO SEE THINGS
MOVE IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION.
MORE AND MORE PEOPLE FROM ALL
SECTORS OF OUR SOCIETY ARE
GOING BACK TO WORK, GETTING
WAGES INCREASED IT MAKES IT
DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO MAKE THAT
POLICY ARGUMENT.
THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
HOW TO APPEASE THIS BASE.
IT IS TURNING OFF MORE PEOPLE.
>> Bill: ONE IDEA.
TUCKER'S TEAM CAUGHT UP WITH
SPEAKER PELOSI YESTERDAY AND
I'LL PLAY IT FOR YOU AND LISTEN
TO THE LAST PART OF HER ANSWER
HERE.
>> SPEAKER PELOSI.
IN JANUARY YOU WONDERED WHAT
PUTIN HAD ON TRUMP.
AFTER YESTERDAY ARE YOU CLOSER
TO FIGURING THAT OUT?
ARE YOU ANY CLOSER TO FIGURING
OUT WHAT PUTIN HAS ON TRUMP?
>> THAT'S WHY WE NEED THEY HAVE
TO ANSWER OUR SUBPOENAS.
>> YOU THINK IT MIGHT HAVE SOME
SORT OF BLACKMAIL ON THE
PRESIDENT?
>> I WONDER WHAT PUTIN HAS
POLITICALLY, FINANCIALLY, OR
PERSONALLY.
>> SO OUR PRESIDENT COULD BE
SUBJECT TO BLACKMAIL?
>> Bill: THE ANSWER THERE, SEAN.
>> I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER
THAT.
SHE SEEMS FLUSTERED WITH HER
OWN ANSWER.
THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO.
THEY'VE HAD A HOUSE HEARING, A
SENATE HEARING, MUELLER
HEARING, COUNTLESS
INVESTIGATIONS THROUGH THE
COMMITTEES THEY CONTROL IN THE
HOUSE AND TURNED UP NOTHING.
THIS IS SERIOUSLY GETTING TIRED.
I THINK THE PROBLEM IS THEY
RECOGNIZE THAT THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE HAVE SAID WAIT A SECOND,
WE GAVE THESE FOLKS THE
MAJORITY AND LOOK WHAT THEY'VE
DONE.
THEY AREN'T FIGHTING FOR
PROGRESSIVE POLICIES, NOT
KEEPING THEIR BASE HAPPY ON THE
POLICY FRONT.
AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT
WHAT THEY'RE DOING WITH THIS
MAJORITY, INVESTIGATION AFTER
INVESTIGATION ARE WONDERING
WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE PROPER
STEWARDS OF THIS MAJORITY AND
THE DIRECTION AND POLICIES THAT
PEOPLE WANTED ADDRESSED.
>> Bill: I WAS IN MEMPHIS,
TENNESSEE AND SAW VERY FEW
PEOPLE EVEN WATCHING IT.
>> YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT'S THE
PROBLEM.
THEY PUT A LOT OF EGGS IN THIS
BASKET AND IT WON'T YIELD
ANYTHING FOR THEM.
>> Bill: WHAT ABOUT SPEAKER
PELOSI AND AOC MEETING NOW?
THE MEETING WRAPPED UP?
WHAT DO YOU THINK COMES OF THIS
RELATIONSHIP?
>> I LOVE THE FACT THE SPEAKER
SAID SHE LOOKED FORWARD TO THAT
MEETING.
I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT THE
REST OF HER SCHEDULE LOOKS LIKE
IF THAT'S THE MEETING SHE IS
LOOKING FORWARD TO TODAY.
IT DOESN'T SAY A LOT ABOUT THE
REST OF HER SCHEDULE.
THIS IS EMBARRASSING FOR THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
SAY WHAT YOU WILL ABOUT NANCY
PELOSI.
SHE IS A SHREWD TACTICIAN AND
THE IDEA THAT YOU HAVE THESE
FOUR FRESHMEN MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS IN PARTICULAR THIS
FIRST TERM 29-YEAR-OLD LEADING
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, MAKING
EVERYBODY RESPOND TO THEM
INCLUDING THEIR PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATES IS EMBARRASSING.
NANCY PELOSI, THE IDEA THAT SHE
TOOK OVER -- GOT THIS MAJORITY
AND NOW SHE IS TAKING ALL THE
CUES FROM THE 29-YEAR-OLD
FRESHMAN IS EMBARRASSING
FRANKLY.
>> Bill: THANK YOU.
SEAN.
HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND.
