WE ARE PRETTY PEACEFUL HERE.

THIS IS PETE "THE STORY," MONDAY

AUGUST 19TH BUT THE STORY GOES

ON AND ON AND WE WILL SEE YOU

TOMORROW NIGHT AT 7:00.

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY.

TOTAL GOOD EVENING WELCOME TO

TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT, ONE OF

THE MORE POIGNANT MOMENTS OF

BARACK OBAMA'S PRESIDENCY CAME

AT THE VERY END, JANUARY 2017

JUST DAYS BEFORE OBAMA LEFT THE

WHITE HOUSE AND THE AWARDED

VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN

PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM

AND YOU MAY HAVE REMEMBERED IT

BUT OBAMA SPOKE GREAT LENGTH

ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL FRIENDSHIP

AND HE PRAISED BIDEN'S

LEADERSHIP AND IN RESPONSE

BIDEN SAID HE KNEW NO MATTER

WHAT HAPPENS, OBAMA WOULD ALWAYS

BE THERE FOR HIM.

WATCH.

>> IT WAS EIGHT AND HALF YEARS

AGO I CHOSE JOE TO BE MY

VICE PRESIDENT.

THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE

MOMENT SINCE THAT TIME THAT I

HAVE DOUBTED THE WISDOM OF THAT

DECISION.

JOE'S CANDID, HONEST COUNSEL HAS

MADE ME A BETTER PRESIDENT AND

COMMANDER IN CHIEF.

>> MR. PRESIDENT WE KNOW THAT I

WILL BE THERE FOR YOU, MY WHOLE

FAMILY AND I KNOW THAT IT IS

RECIPROCAL.

>> Tucker: YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO

BE OBAMA TO APPRECIATE THAT

THERE WAS SOMETHING SWEET ABOUT

IT.

IT WAS ALL FAKE, IT TURNS OUT

AND IN THE END OBAMA WILL NOT BE

THERE FOR JOE BIDEN AND IN FACT

HIS INTERNAL FRIENDSHIP HAS

ENDED AND DIDN'T MAKE IT THROUGH

THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL TERM BUT

INSTEAD OF HELPING HIS TRUSTED

FRIEND RUN FOR THE PRESIDENCY,

OBAMA HAS REFUSED TO ENDORSE

JOE BIDEN.

ACCORDING TO SOME REPORTS OBAMA

REPEATEDLY URGED BIDEN NOT TO

RUN.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS HE

WARNED BIDEN.

OBAMA, IT TURNS OUT, CARES ABOUT

ONE THING, HIMSELF.

HE IS OBSESSED WITH HIS

POLITICAL LEGACY.

EVERY DAY THAT WILL BIDEN --

BIDEN STAYS ON THE CAMPAIGN

TRAIL HE DETRACTS FROM THAT,

WHY?

DON'T BELIEVE THE POLLS.

THE POLLS SAY JOE BIDEN IS A

RUNNER AND AS OF TODAY, HE STILL

LIVES.

THE POLLS TELL YOU HE'S GOT A

GOOD CHANCE OF BEING THE

PRESIDENT.

BUT THAT IS NOT REAL.

BIDEN IS OFFICIALLY STILL IN THE

LEAD AND YET, LET'S BE

COMPLETELY HONEST.

BIDEN'S CAMPAIGN IS NOT A REAL

CAMPAIGN, IT IS A ZOMBIE EFFORT

AND LURCHES FROM ONE BLUNDER TO

ANOTHER UNTIL FINALLY SOME

CATASTROPHE WILL PUT IT OUT OF

ITS MISERY.

EVEN BIDEN'S OWN ALLIES WANT HIM

TO STOP SPEAKING IN PUBLIC SO

OFTEN, WHY?

WHEN PEOPLE SEE JOE BIDEN, THEY

REALIZE HE'S NOT A DISTINGUISHED

ELDER STATESMAN, HE IS SADLY A

FADING ONE.

HE THINKS CORY BOOKER IS THE

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

HE BELIEVES THE TRUTH OUTWEIGHS

THE FACTS.

HE THINKS HE WAS VICE PRESIDENT

LAST YEAR DURING THE

PARLIAMENTARY.

WATCH.

I WASHED WHAT HAPPEN WHEN CAME

UP TO SEE ME WHEN I WAS

VICE PRESIDENT.

SOME OF YOU COVERED IT.

>> Tucker: SO MOMENTS LIKE

THAT DON'T MAKE JOE BIDEN A BAD

PERSON, BUT IT DOES MAKE HIS

CAMPAIGN LOOK LIKE WHAT IT

ACTUALLY IS, A JOKE, NOT A

SERIOUS PLAY IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

IF BIDEN WERE OFFERING SOMETHING

REAL, A COMPELLING MESSAGE HE

COULD GET ELECTED ANYWAY, BUT

HE'S NOT.

HE IS IN FACT A DEMOCRATIC

FOSSIL RUNNING FOR THE PARTY

THAT SEES HIM AS TO MAIL, TO

PALE AND TOO STALE.

BIDEN IS OLD ENOUGH WITH PUBLIC

VIEWS PRIOR TO THE YEAR 20080 IN

AMERICAN POLITICS AND THAT MAKES

HIS OLD POLICIES TOTALLY

UNACCEPTABLE TO THE PARTY'S

VOTERS.

1995, JOE BIDEN SUPPORTED ALL

KINDS OF THINGS CURRENT

JOE BIDEN WOULD NEVER ADMIT TO

SECURING COME AS A SECURE

BORDER, DRUGS OFF THE STREETS,

CRIMINALS IN PRISON EVEN.

WATCH THIS.

>> MADAM PRESIDENT, WE HAVE

PREDATORS ON OUR STREETS THAT

SOCIETY HAS, IN FACT, AND

BECAUSE OF ITS NEGLECT, CREATED.

AGAIN, IT DOES NOT MEAN WE

CREATED THEM THAT WE SOMEHOW

FORGIVE THEM OR DO NOT TAKE THEM

OUT OF SOCIETY TO PROTECT MY

FAMILY AND YOURS FROM IT.

THEY ARE BEYOND THE PALE OF MOST

PEOPLE.

BEYOND THE PALE.

>> Tucker: BEYOND THE PALE!

NOW IT IS BIDEN HIMSELF WHO IS

BEYOND THE PALE.

THE CURRENT DEMOCRATIC PARTY

BELIEVES IN FRINK CRIMINALS,

PROTECTING CRIMINALS,

CELEBRATING CRIMINALS AND THE

NEW REALITY BY RELIC OF THE

PAST AND ALL THE ENERGY WITH THE

OTHER CANDIDATES AND INSURGENTS

LIKE ELIZABETH WARREN,

BERNIE SANDERS, KAMALA HARRIS.

ONE OF THESE THREE WILL RISE

ABOVE THE REST AND TAKE THE

NOMINATION BUT IT WILL NOT BE

JOE BIDEN.

ALMOST EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT NOW.

THAT IS ALL BAD NEWS IF YOU ARE

BARACK OBAMA AND IF YOU REALLY

CARE ABOUT IS YOUR OWN CHERISHED

LEGACY.

BECAUSE JOE BIDEN EXPRESSIVELY

RUNNING AS A CONTINUATION OF

BARACK OBAMA'S AGENDA.
