. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: joe biden is at the center of this story. in 2016 he told ukraine to fire the prosecutor overseeing a investigation involving his son's company. now biden says the whole matter is worth impeaching the president over. >> the president should stop stonewalling. this investigation and all the other investigations into his alleged wrongdoing. using its full constitutional authority congress should demand the information it has a legal right to see. if the president does not comply with such a request of the congress, he continues to obstruct congress and flaunt the law. donald trump will leave congress, in my view, no choice but to initiate impeachment that would be a tragedy. but a tragedy of his own making. >> tucker: a democrat, a former cia officer and he joints us tonight. thanks for coming on. is this a wise idea, do you think, this apparent beginning of impeachment? >> >> no, it's not, tucker. the whole thing is a disaster. pelosi launched the titanic tonight in a gigantic iceberg in 2020. we had up until yesterday, really
