>> i want to tell you how much we appreciate the re-insertion of american leadership in the middle east. >> i can relate a lot to what america is going through, my dad's first term. >> president trump: look how he turns out. >> president trump: the united states and israel can declare with one voice that iran must never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon, never, ever. >> tucker: it wasn't just ceremony either, in reality, the president announced a $100 billion arms deal, from pressure the israeli prime minister to restart the peace efforts, in brussels he told nato leaders that the time has come for them to pay more for their own defense rather than relying on u.s. taxpayers. if you can agree or disagree with any of these ideas but they are departures from the norm and significance. they are news in other words and

they ought to be covered by the news media. have they been? take a look at some of the top headlines this week, trump complements egyptian presidents shoes. pope to first lady, what are you feeding trump? comp pushes montenegro's prime minister at the nato summit. from nbc,why the trump women wore veils in the vatican but not headscarves in saudi arabia. from "the washington post," the worlds gets its first real look at the trump marriage. plus about a thousand stories about that weird glass ball things that trump touched. along with the saudi king and the egyptian president. what have we learned? reporters are virtually to a person liberal democrats, they hate trump the way the devil hates holy water, violently and viscerally, that is bad as we pointed out before. when hysteria stops current ability from the news business and makes them look ridiculous as in this case. they are biased, but bias may

not be the worst thing about the press. the worst thing is how shallow and dumb they mostly are especially about topics that actually matter like foreign policy. the reason? the business model for media companies collapsed about ten years ago, a lot of adults want to do p.r. they were replaced by 23-year-old sociology majors raised on media and blogs. they don't know what they don't know so they stick to what they do know, click bait. is that a crystal ball, did he hold his wife's hand afterwards? who cares? tell us something that matters, most of them can't because they're not capable of it. that is exactly why we call charles krauthammer for some facts. he joins us in the studio now. underneath all the hand-holding stories, was i think a bigger story. what was it? >> it's a very big story and i think it's understood around the world. i don't think it's anti-trump animus although that's big. it's mostly ignorance.

were coming up on the 15th anniversary of the six-day war. what was the cause of the war. what was the result, they haven't a clue what that was about. what you see there as you point out is emphasizing the trivialities, this is a very significant trip. not so much the actual events of the trip, but the choices. he chooses to go to the saudi arabia first, it's never been done. the reason? for the last eight years, we've had a policy that can only be called appeasement of iran, obama had the idea he was going to be a nixon in china, he would go to the ayatollah and convince iran that we were not their enemy. what was the first trip obama did? he goes to cairo. he goes to the muslim world, i'm

new, i'm your friend, we will no longer abuse you and disrespect you, all of these apologies and he thought he would reap the rewards. a man that did not understand iran was on a peaceable. eight years later, trump says we've abandoned the sunni arabs who are terrified by iran, who are threatened by iran, who are facing an existential threat from iran, reassure them wear on their side, were not going to tilt to iran and by showing up in riyadh, giving his speech to 50 sunni nations, we've declared the u.s. understands the muslim world right now, historic importance, a civil war between shiite iran, against arab sunni

that's the war. it explains iraq, it explains syria, it explains lebanon, explains what's going on in the yemen, that's the war. and this united states having tilted toward the shiite side which means allying with russia, assad, with all the bad guys in the region, that's over. we are back where we've always been on the side of the moderate arabs, the gulf arabs, the saudis, the sunnis, and that's the importance of this trip. >> tucker: that's what you would do if you were a puppet of putin, it's the opposite. you wrote a piece that was very smart, this is one of the most important things you can do to bring israel closer to its arab neighbors. >> that's one of the amazing side effects. >> the egyptians and jordanians already have a peace treaty with israel, the rest of the arab world is stuck in this 70 year habit of his hostility to israel. they have not been able to move, their enemy is not israel, it's iran.

israel has no intent is to break out and eradicate the saudi regime, iran does. iran is an enemy of israel, as an enemy of the modern arabs, the sunni arabs. there is historic opportunity and it's happening below the radar, there is cooperation between saudis and israelis on the intelligence, all this other stuff we don't hear about, it's an opportunity to soften the internal hostility between israel and the arab states. with with the hope -- i don't know it will be imminent, could take a generation or two -- if you do loosen up those relationships with the gulf arabs, the sunni arabs, the pro-american arabs are able to have commerce interaction, good relations, that might open up a chance for the palestinians who are the key in the end to say the other arabs are accommodating of israel, it's time that we did. >> tucker: the other arabs

might pressure them. >> they are getting a tired of palestinian rejection is him and with iran breathing down their throats, they know who theirfrir enemies are. >> tucker: that's meaningful, may be more meaningful than touching a glass ball, that's my view. you didn't expect hillary clinton to go away, today she delivered a commencement address at wellesley college, she gave the address herself rather than sending john podesta to give it for her, election night joke. a preview for her next run for something, watch. >> we were serious about the past presidential election. [laughs] of a man whose presidency would end in disgrace with his impeachment for obstruction of justice.

[cheers and applause] after firing the person running the investigation into him at the department of justice. [cheers and applause] >> tucker: the other cable stations love it so much that almost none of them have corrected hillary clinton by pointing out contrary to her claim, nixon was never impeached for obstruction of justice, perhaps she confused him with her husband who was, but that was not her only shot of trump. >> there is a full-fledged assault on truth and reason, drumming up rampant fear about undocumented immigrants, muslims, minorities, the poor, some are even denying the things we see with our own eyes. like the size of crowds. [laughter] >> tucker: meanwhile, the former candidate gave an interview to new york magazine conducted by funding abortion activist rebecca tracer,

throughout the whole thing, she never says word one about her own culpability for losing the campaign, she spreads the blame elsewhere. she says what i was doing was working, i would have won had it not been subjected to the unprecedented attacks by a comey on the russians, aided and abetted by suppression of the vote particularly in wisconsin. she didn't visit wisconsin once during the general election but her poor showing there was due to voter suppression, also secularism. she also makes the bold and by that we mean deranged claim that were up against greater domination of the media by the right as you've noticed that recently. the right controls everything. are you ready for hillary to run again? will she have anyone left to blame by that time, she joins us tonight, i'm always sympathetic to people who lose it are humiliated until i read this piece in new york magazine that is deranged, voter suppression

in a state she didn't bother to visit, why would she say something like that? >> i think she has definitely been trying to explain her loss and she says things like i take responsibility, but then she also does want to shift the blame to things like voter suppression and james comey and the russians. i actually agree with you a lot on this, i do think it's possible to say maybe if jim comey handled things differently may be things do go a different way, but ultimately, donald trump did not run an amazing campaign. he was not an amazing candidate. he was highly polarizing at one election they can, a majority of americans were saying he's unfit for the presidency. hillary clinton should have been able to win and should have been in a position to win even with the slings and arrows of russia and jim comey et cetera. i talk a lot about this

reversing the apocalypse. i think the democratic party as a whole has really strayed from their roots as a party of the working class focused on those economic issues that trump really did touch on. i didn't want her to run on the first place, i was a joe biden supporter and then i was a bernie sanders supporter, i think there are a lot of problems there but i also think the problem goes deeper with the democratic party if you just look across the country at all the governorships and state legislative seats and all of that that we've lost, i think we've got to do more soul-searching than saying russia and the voter suppression. >> tucker: and racial division. i was surprised a little bit even for hillary to see just how unwilling she is to come to terms with what happens. trump is attacked as delusional, he believes things that are demonstrably false et cetera. she certainly does based on this interview. she believes the things that she says, i have a lot of

sympathy for voters, in a lot of places that didn't win because i could see how hard it was. she saying that spending her time looking at google algorithms that show people search for wikileaks. people who read the wikileaks dump were so hoodwinked she feels sad for them. that's crazy, the wikileaks dump was real. whatever you think of the dump, a normal person wouldn't say something like that, do you think? >> i've never lost a presidential race, i like you have a lot of sympathy. i'm never lost a congressional race. i like you have a lot of sympathy for what that must be like especially when obviously she spent many years preparing, many years thinking about this, ultimately to me, the problems with the party goes so much further than hillary clinton -- in a way she's a symptom of the problem of the party, that she would be the best candidate for the moment when people are looking at the future and saying when are my wages to rise, what

is the future going to look like for my kiddos? we got to have people speak credibly to their expense, six-figure wall street speeches sitting on the board of walmart and all the things from her past, we really need to move leaders over the party for its -- >> a healthy party never would have nominated her or allowed itself to be bulldozed by the clinton cartel. i want to get back to the comey thing for the one thing i agreed with in her complaints is comey hurt her. i think that's true. i'm not saying that for partisan reasons but he went and said she committed some wrongdoing but wouldn't specified what it was, i felt it was unfair at the time, and she's mad about it. i get it. she's also mad that trump fired this guy who behave in an out-of-control way, how can you think comey was doing things no fbi director ought to do and he ought to keep his job.

shouldn't have kept his job at the time and what he did was completely out-of-bounds, definitely did hurt her. he has expressed that he did not want to put his finger on the scale. by the time that president trump decided to fire him, he is in the middle of an investigation. if you are going to get rid of him, get rid of him right out of the gates, not when he was already into this investigation and not by the way that you said you want his loyalty, also by the way you want to play off mike flynn. >> tucker: i have agree with you that the president should have canned him day one, there was something weird about jim comey, he got off his high horse and couldn't dismount. if he is bad for the country in january, he's bad for the country in april or may. why can't democrats celebrate the removal of a crummy fbi director? it seems pretty simple. >> i wish it was that simple. when you're in the middle of an investigation involving a

president and his campaign, you can't help but feel this was an effort to put pressure on the comey, there's just a lot of questions around that firing. >> tucker: it didn't work them out whenever the intent. a professor in washington to state resisted when actavis tried to kick him off campus for his skin color, now student activists are howling for his job, none of this is made up, it's happening right now. the professor has agreed to come on after this break. the last dirty jobs host mike rowe whether the fight for the minimum wage is good for the middle class or will usher in an era of robot hamburger makers, stay tuned instead of allergy pills. it delivers a gentle mist experience to help block six key inflammatory substances. most allergy pills only block one. new flonase sensimist

>> tucker: consider evergreen every year the school holds a day in absence, symbolically left campus and attended the antiracist events. this year, student activists said all white people leave campus or else. bret weinstein refused he called to the race-based demand a show of force and an act of oppression. in response to that, here's what happened.

>> tucker: professor brett weinstein joins us right now, thank you for coming on, what exactly was going on there, what happened? >> what happened is 50 or so students decided to disrupt the class that i was holding that morning and demand my resignation. >> tucker: because he wouldn't leave campus because you're white? >> they imagined that i am a racist and that i am teaching racism in the classroom, and that has caused them to imaginee that i have no right to speak, that i am harming students at the very effective teaching

them. >> tucker: what happened after the video cut out? >> that's an interesting story, the campus police showed up outside of the classroom, the protesters then blocked their entrance. i did not call the police, someone else called the police and they were concerned for my safety. when they tried to come into the building to make sure i was okay, the protest block to them. because the issue of policing is so sensitive at the moment, the police had to run around and try to find another entrance to thet building and get inside and check with me. at the point they did that, the protesters moved on and corralled the president of thehe college at his office, they extracted some demands from him, among the demands, was there would be a meeting -- demands a strong word, a concession that they would be a meeting at 4:00 and a large room on top of our

library building. that meeting took place at the end of the day, believe it or not, it was far crazier than the video that you just showed. >> tucker: this whole story is so over-the-top even though we do a lot of these it's hard for me to believe it'sr real. the core demand is that all people of your skin color leave the campus. your president is a guy called george bridges, where was he? there he is right there, he'ss supposed to be running this school, why is he allowing a mob to threaten one of his professors? >> i must say, i have some concern that the story is so strange that it's not even going to make sense to an audience that isn't local to the campus. dr. bridges is allowing this mob to effectively control the campus, and they have been in control since 9:30 on tuesday morning.

at this moment, i believe dr. bridges is answering a set of demands put forward by the protesters and they have said that if he does not accept their demands, that there will be violence. i do not know what his response to those demands is going to be but i know that is taking place ats this hour. he is also told the police to stand down, although the campus police have a sense of what it is that needs to happen, they have been hobbled by the fact that they answer to the college administration and in fact for several days have been barricaded in the campus police station.n. >> tucker: oh, my gosh, this is something out of another country. it's hard to believe any of this is real. our viewers should look this upf online, there's a lot of pieces on the story it's hard to convey on television. you had this powerful line in your letter.t'

i assume you are no kind of right winger, if you teach at evergreen, i assume you're a hilary voter. >> no, not the hilary voter. i'm a deeply progressive person, not to hillary voter, i'm troubled with this implies about the current state of the left. >> tucker: you said people shouldn't be allowed to speak or not on the basis of their skin color which seems like ald foundational belief of the leftt and one i agree with strongly. for that they physically threatened you and are trying to get your fired. >> they are absolutely trying to get me fired, and they believe that my words in my email are transparently racist. i think were caught quite off guard when people who were not at evergreen read my letter and couldn't find any racism inf it. >> tucker: godspeed to you and i hope you will come back with an update on the story because it's one of the most amazing things i've ever seen, thank you.d

>> tucker: if you found that compelling, next monday were putting on a full hour on campus stories dedicated to menace that is consuming our college campuses, here's a preview of that. >> you have an absolute right to express your views. mack. that would include whiteboards. it's kind of s freedom of speech is essential to our country. that's what our country is founded on. the idea you could disagree with somebody. >> tucker: if i were to go to a rally and people said pigs in a blanket fry like bacon about police officers advocating the killing of cops, you would say that's unacceptable, that should not be allowed. >> if student groups want to have a discussion about police brutality. >> tucker: if they were to use that phrase.e. >> i'm not interested in the phrase. >> tucker: you have no principles, that's why.

>> tucker: if you need to know how the d.c. smear machine works, look no further than the case of california congressman dana rohrabacher. he thinks the u.s. may have more to gain by cooperating with russia than by fighting with them. it may sound familiar since barack obama held it's just a few years ago but things have changed dramatically in washington.yo last week "the new york times" targeted him, saying he was warned in 2012 that russian intelligence was trying to recruit him. now the left is treating him like a russian spy even though there is no evidence he did anything wrong.. congressman, thanks was coming on. >> good to be with you. >> tucker: are you now or have you ever been a spy for the russian government. >> no, nor have i ever received any financial support from the russian government or russian people, that's all baloney. >> tucker: the essence of this story is that russian agents who

are not named according to officials who are not named were discussing ways to recruit you, do you think that's true? >> that's the essence of the story, i'm the chairman now of the subcommittee in congress that oversees our relations with europe, russia, and central asia. i have been on a congressional delegation to russia, i have met a member of the state equivalent of the russian state department there. if he was later transferred to washington and went out of his way to remake our acquaintance. that's what the fbi was warning me about that he was an intelligence officer. i treat anybody from the russian

embassy or frankly in the embassy as an intelligence officer, that's the rational thing to do. >> tucker: the implication of the story is that you were doing something wrong. the obvious question is that was five years ago, why did it come out now? >> this is what we are experiencing, something with no substance in it, has been stated in a very sinister way to leave people with the idea that i have done something or president trump has done something wrong, and we in some way have done something that isn't beneficial to the united states but is in some way beneficial to russia. at the same time, the people with that sinister idea don't even mention hillary clinton or the clinton foundation raising millions of dollars from oligarchs in russia at the same time, they are selling away thosea's uranium to oligarchs. >> tucker: if you look up mccarthyism, this is what it looks like, this is the definition of it. do you think united states is a

policy matter has something tos gain from cooperating withon russia under certain circumstances? >> i am a lone voice except for president trump, he has the same inclination and that is got to prioritize who our enemies are. in world war ii, our enemy was adolf hitler and the japanese militarists and we needed joseph stalin and we worked with him. our primary enemy is no longer the soviet union, the cold war is over. i fought the cold war as you might remember.gh i did a lot of things in the cold war to defeat the soviet union. the soviet union doesn't exist,e our priority right now has to bi radical islamic terrorists. if there's a nuclear bomb that goes off in one of our cities, that will be the enemy. we need to cooperate with russia, they are being murdered

just like the rest of our allies to diffuse the primary enemy. i get a lot of guff about that because there is an unrelenting hostility toward russia -- it's an imperfect government there. they are not as good a democracy as our western european allies. but they should be helping us to defeat radical islam. >> tucker: finally, is this having real-world consequences? mccarthyism by its nature hurts people, makes it harder for them to do the jobs they do. has this affected your life? you're running for reelection, iso. this an issue in the campaign? >> we have multimillionaires who are running against me now who will probably put out andes already have been putting out these hit pieces that are aimed at trying to convince people that have been engaged in some type of illegal act or something -- it's the same thing they are doing with trump.p. let's face it.

all of these sinister implications when there's s nothing there they are. i've been looking for proof that the russians had something to do with hacking into the dnc emails, but it's not there.e. after you hear these people testify, trump is being castigated now and this is an attempt and i'm in the same boat. trump is doing a good job. he's over there expanding america's influence among people who thought we were pushoverse for the last eight years. both on the terror side also on our allied side. i'm proud to be backing president trump in these efforts. >> tucker: congressman dana rohrabacher who when it mattered was on the right side of the fight against russia, thank you for that. mike rowe, champion of the working

>> tucker: two days ago, protesters demanded the company pay the company a $15 minimum wage. do the protesters really wants to get their wish? what would happen if they did? working at mcdonald's is not that complicated, what a $15pe minimum wage drive further automation and lead to mass layoffs. no one really knows that's a concern we brought up with former dirty jobs host mike rowe. thanks for joining us, protesters have gathered outside mcdonald's demanding higher wages. on the one hand, i'm sympathetic to people wanted to get paidre more especially for jobs that

are hard and long. on the other hand, at what point does mcdonald's has to decide where replacing it with automation, with robots? >> probably with this point, or probably soon. everybody i've talked to is going back again and again to the threat of automation. the headlines that i am seeing are how computers are going toon steal our jobs. i don't know that it makes sense to anthropomorphize it, i don't think computers are going around twirling their mustache and laughing maniacally, but it'sy going to happen. it's going to happen just as surely as the internet messed up the tv, tv messed up cinema, cinema disrupted radio and radio messed up newspapers and candle screwed up booksellers and so it goes. i don't think it is anything to panic over but as it relates to the minimum wage conversations and as it relates to labor and management, the only thing i can add to it is with my foundation, we try to remind people that learning a skill that's actually in demand negates the whole conversation. if you can weld, if you're a plumber, if you are an electrician, if you are willing to learn a skill that has a

pre-existing demand that you don't have to constantly negotiate and talk about a few extra dollars in order to stay in a position that frankly i don't know how you advance in that kind of thinking. our philosophy is pretty simple. if you have a skill and that skill is in demand, you can work where you want, you can write your own ticket. if you don't, you're going to have to hope the next negotiation works out in the o next minimum-wage position falls favorably in your direction which strikes me as fatalistic. >> tucker: that's such a common sense point -- >> i can't help it. >> tucker: it makes inherent and unassailable sense. why aren't our schoolsp encouraging some percentage of kids to do the same thing? >> as we've discussed before, i think we've got it in our heads that there's a category of good jobs and bad jobs there's a category of good education and bad education.

we don't call it that, we call it higher education and alternative education. it's fun with the language. in the minute you categorize an entire vertical of education as alternative, you might as well call it subordinates. the message starts early on. if you go to a trade at school, you're going to have to settlele for a second-class job or some kind of vocational consolation prize. parents don't want that for their kids. violence counselors don't want that for their schools, so all of these opportunities that today constitute 5.6 million at are sitting there, they don't get any press and i don't get an a love because somewhere back in the reptilian part of our brain we believe they are substandard, that's dumb. >> tucker: so many people wind up in what we call the sharingg economy, a few billionaires export them for nothing, these are jobs that paid many times

that, or am i missing it? >> it's tempting to take a cookie-cutter approach to everything. what's a news anchor get? it kind of depends. same thing with welding, if you have your certificate to weld in oklahoma, you might start at 45 grand a year. a year later, you might be in north dakota making 120 grand or in the gulf doing better than that bridge of the skill goes where you go. this is another thing that schools don't teach. if you have a skill that's in demand, it's innate in you. it's portable. it's inherently mobile, you don't have to go to mcdonald's, with respect. you don't have to go to the retailer and stand behind the counter and wait for the a business to come. no one talks about the path to small businesses that tradesou

represent. they just don't talk about it. on my old show, i can't tell you how many people i ran into who had a small business who had employees, who had multipleng trucks but started with a skill. my thing with the minimum-wage and automation, with all of it is anything we do that knocks the bottom rungs off of the ladder, we almost surely climb. it's self-defeating. if getting to $15 per hour hastens automation and therefore eliminates thousands of opportunities for kids who are not just learning how to flip a burger but how to talk their shirt and, how to show up on time. basic stuff. how else do you learn that except by being in your first or second job? we're going to arbitrage logic right out of the equation and r2-d2, take a bow. >> tucker: it's very good, you're not reading anything that i can assure our viewers. >> i can't read, tragically. it's always great to see you.
