we want to apologize to them for that error, clayton's. that's all the time we have left this evening. i will see you back here tomorrow night. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." president trump announced the united states will be pulling out of the paris agreement, intended to combat global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. >> the united states will withdraw from the paris climate accord. we're getting out. i was elected to represent the citizens of pittsburgh, not paris. >> tucker: wow, that did it. the left immediately became hysterical even more than usual, keep in mind this was a nonbinding, unenforceable

agreement whose effect even if every nation involved follow the agreement to the letter cannot be known with precision. the world literally ended, as they say. billionaire democratic donor described trump's decision as assault and battery on the future of the american people. cnn warned its viewers to expect mass extinctions, flooding in the streets of new york city, the physical annihilation of the marshall islands.s. the aclu concluded leaving the agreement was a massive step back for racial justice and an assault on communities of color. didn't explain how. there was cable news,, my gosh, the long faces, the grave intonations., the grave intonations. it was like somebody died, millions of them actually. >> on a sunny day in the rose garden, what could be defined and construed as a dark speech. >> this will be the day that>> the united states resigned as the leader of the free world.

>> i have such rage and sadness, we just watched a dangerous little man give a very, very scary speech. >> one of the most bleak depictions of america's role in the world as environmentaler partners. >> he is not helping the forgotten american. he is hurting them. their kids will have worse asthma in the summer. the president who talked about. putting america first has now put america last. >> tucker: we're not talking about science here.a what you're watching is a priesthood defending its faith. the essence of science is skepticism, mostly testing what you think you know to make sure you actually know it. the people who ran the space program didn't know everything and they knew it. that's not happening here. it's not allowed to. pressed for explanations as to what they're talking about, you're attacked as a denier. the matter is settled. every word immutablele and holy, questions equal apostasy, shut up and believe.

the irony is almost none of the religious figures you saw sermonizing on television today know much about the paris agreement beyond the bullet points they'd been handed by their producers 10 minutes before. do they have any idea and why haven't they told us until now? before today most of the people you just saw spend far more time yammering about clock boy transgender bathrooms than about climate accords. what is in the agreement. there are a lot of things in the agreement and few of them are worth knowing. if the u.s. were to stick with this accord, we would be pledging to cut our greenhouse gas production by 26% below the levels it was in 2005. that's a big reduction. it's not expected of china, india, or other huge polluting countries which happen to be our chief economic rivals. under the paris agreement, rich nations like the united states agree to send $100 billion to poorer countries every year starting in 2020 to aid with their transition to green energy. president obama pledged $3 billion to this fund. china has not pledged a cent. the world's biggest polluter. china is likely to receive some

of this money. keep in mind the chinese's econy is predicted to overtake our economy in less than a year, but somehow we have to subsidize their energy production? that's lunacy. how are we supposed to pay for all of this? higher energy costs here, americans would pay more for gas, more for electricity, more in taxes all in the name of meeting obligations that other countries don't have to meet. if you want to know how all of this might end, look across thedodo atlantic. european electricity, it costs three times as much as it does here and the prices are rising faster there as well. despite all of this, even supporters of the agreement concede that it won't come close to stopping global warming even if everyone abided by the terms. there are counterarguments to this and some of them are legitimate. that is the point. this is a debate. it's a big deal. a lot is at stake for americans who know nothing of the details. shouldn't congress have a chance to debate this and vote on it like they're supposed to?

they already had that chance. it came in 2009. president obama had a democratic house and a super majority that year, the people now telling you that global warming is an existential threat to the world that everyone will die if we don't get a handle on it had more power at that moment than at any time since the new deal in the '30s and they could have done something about global warming openly and democratically. did they? no. they focused on passing the stimulus package, obamacare, dodd-frank. since that year, american voters have consistently elected majorities for home global warming is not a priority. outside a relatively smallel number of zip codes, global warming is not a top priority for the american public. maybe it should be, but it's not. that's how democracy works. d the public gets to decide what is most important. the people in charge disagree with it. they don't care what voters think. they lost interest in democracyp a long time ago and they are no longer hiding that fact.'t they don't believe you should be consulted before they changere your life forever and mostly they don't bother to

consult to accept today. they didn't get their way and they are hysterical about it. maybe they will have to make a real argument on behalf of what they believe before imposing it by force on you. that's why the system was supposed to work. philip levine is part of the system. former hillary clinton survey -- surrogate. he joins us from palm beach tonight. >> thank you, miami beach. >> tucker: did i say palm beach? >> you said palm beach but miami beach where it's at. >> tucker: i have mar-a-lago, on the mind, excuse me. >> you mean that new waterpark in the future? >> you're concerned about rising sea levels. i'm agnostic about it. i'm wondering how this specific agreement, sending $3 billion a year to countries like india and china who don't have to lower their emissions rates is going to fix that global warming problem in miami beach.

>> let me tell you what's going on in miami beach. we have streets that are flooding during sunny days. the water levels have gone up dramatically. we moved forward to raise our roads, put in pumps, change our building codes. it's not because we're so excited to have to do that but we have to do it for survival of our city. it's not just miami beach. it's coastal citiesbu all over the world. i heard what you had to say, but i've got to tell you something.g. when the world's leading scientists are telling you thisd is what's going on and some of the smartest minds in the world are telling you this is the reason why, at some point you have to listen. >> tucker: you're actually dodging my question completely and i'm not denying the existence of sea level rise. i'm merely asking a very specific policy question. this is about policies. how will the terms of the paris agreement handing $3 billion per year to indian and china, which do not have to lower their emissions, how will that help what's going on in miami beach, what you just described?doad >> as the world is getting too hot and too warm, the oceans are rising and that's affecting

miami beach. it's affecting all coastal cities.s >> tucker: i can't let you dodge it again. specifics make the difference. i'm asking about a very specific agreement that you and everyone else on the left is beating their chest about trump is destroying. i'm open minded. tell me how that specific agreement and the financial s arrangements in it will help the problems described. >> i'm going to tell you why. i'm not the guy from the left. the one thing i could tell you i call myself a radical centrist. rising oceans aren't republican and aren't democrat. what does the agreement do? it puts the world together in alignment and says we have a problem. let's work together and solve the problem. what about the slight chance ale the world's scientists and some of these great minds, let's say they're right. if they are, maybe it's a good idea if we do something about it.

>> tucker: what you're saying is, you are describing religious faith. you're saying i don't have to bother to learn any details about a very specific agreement we are all mad about today because there are people whose names i don't know who think it's ahi good idea. my question to you is why wouldn't the average person say i'm open-minded but why don't you give me some specifics and tell me more, when we overcome i don't force me to participate as a democracy. >> no question it's a democracy an american democracy and it's a world democracy. we used to be the leader in that free world democracy and i thinkra today what fareed zakaria said it's kind of right. we give up leadership. >> tucker: i thought you guys believed in science. why don't you give me why allowing china to take a pass on reducing its greenhouse emissions for years is going to reduce global warming and its effects?ea i don't understand. >> china signed this agreement.

europe signed it, it india signed it. everyone is in it together to make the world a better place to reduce these emissions. >> tucker: is there a single person watching the show stupid enough to be convinced by what you're saying. >> almost every mayor in america now has come together and say we're going to adhere to the protocols. >> tucker: other people are doing it. therefore it's a good idea?o groups of people have been in favor of crazy things over the years. don't you owe your constituents, the public, the obligation of explaining in clear, simple terms how the terms of this agreement will achieve the goal they say they will. >> the terms are very clear, if you reduce your greenhouse emissions and you lower the temperature, the waters will stop rising. that is a global agreement. >> tucker: that's not what it

says. >> of course it does. >> tucker: it actually doesn't, last question. you may be totally right, i'm not denying that you are. if that's true, if reducing emissions will prevent the seas from rising, then why not require india and china and the world's other biggest polluters to do that? >> tucker it does. it brings everybody together. the one thing i learned with the president's comments today what he said about pittsburgh, the mayor of pittsburgh is a friend of mine who doesn't agree with this. what's incredible, i didn't realize ohio and pittsburgh doesn't get affected by climate change? it's an interesting thing i just learned. >> tucker: you're making me more nervous than i was when this segment began. mr. mayor, i appreciate you coming on. hillary clinton's 2016 excuse tour continues today. she spoke tonight at the javits center in new york city. if that place sounds familiar, it's the place clinton abandoned her supporters on election night. she didn't even bother to show up after she failed to win.ce instead she sent john podesta out to send her sobbing fans

home. seven months later, clinton finally showed up. what did she have to say? she suggested she was ready to take responsibility for losing. >> the really painful experiences honestly understanding what i didn't do well or what i didn't do well enough or what our shortcomingsi were, where we missed an opportunity where we didn't do in retrospect what might've worked better. >> tucker: but then, no, she went right back to the russian conspiracy. >> obviously i'm particularly concerned about the role that russia played about the very serious interference that we know, they are responsible for in our most fundamental democratic act.

you can't be all right with the idea that the foreign adversary was trying to influence the election. >> tucker: it wasn't just secret macedonian agents who derailed her god-given job as president. it was a sexism. >> in my book, i take on the issues of sexism and misogyny. we need to pull it out and put it under bright light. it may be uncomfortable for some people to read how i experienced it, what i believe about it, but i think it's a conversation we need to have >> tucker: she also did nothing to back off her comments yesterday when she began spouting full-blown conspiracy theories about how the trump campaignpo masterminded a russian effort to destroy her. t >> the russians, wikileaks, same thing. dumped the john podesta emails, my email account was turned into

the biggest scandal since lord knows when. they covered it like it wasai pearl harbor. men paid for the speeches they made, i got paid for the speeches i made. it was used and i thought it was unfairly used, i have my complaints about former director comey. >> tucker: think about the wrath you have heard against the president. he's narcissistic, he won't accept information he disagrees with, he betrays friends and allies for his own personal gain, based on what you just saw and her behavior the last few weeks, do any of these criticisms not apply to hillary clinton? she can't accept explanations for her defeat, she's accusing the trump campaign affording specific hacking efforts to the minute

and is so narcissistic, the only person she can't blame for her defeat is herself. even her biggest handicaps were self-inflicted. charles krauthammer is a writer and columnist who joins us now. it does sound like what people make of trump. >> i know i'm in a minority wit. conservatives, but i feel sorry for her. it could be because i was in my youth a liberal. i retain that marshmallow deep inside of my heart. and i try not to betray these days. but it's a pathetic performance. it's childish, she can't accept responsibility. she is practiced at this where she says, i love in one of her riffs, she says was i a perfect candidate? no. did i make mistakes? yes. these are rhetorical devices, whoever said she was a perfect candidate? she was a terrible candidate, she was the worst imaginable. she had all the advantages. she couldn't shake the challenge of a 74-year-old socialist who, this is the best part about

bernie sanders, honeymooned in the soviet union. she couldn't shake his challenge for six months. lindsey graham once said about bernie and the soviet union, yes, and he never left. that was her challenge and she had the dnc behind her, she complained about the dnc being against her. it's not delusional, losing an election, losing something you've been after for eight years, probably 16 years, is pretty hard. i think her handlers are somebody who cares for her should have said, don't go out there. you wait a few more years, people will mellow to you. they won't remember details. they will have some affection for you. michael dukakis, walter mondale, these are people who didn't elicit the same kind of antipathy she does because they didn't wallow in self-pity.

>> tucker: and anger, and it comes off -- i understand the disappointment.me she put a lot on the line and she lost. you can understand her great disappointment. this is not helpful to the democratic party. she needs to think through whyhy they lost, she's making it hard to do that. >> the best thing that'sgh happened to the party and i would say probably one of the best things that donald trump ever did as he put an end to the clinton dynasty.um it was not helping the party. it was trapped in the past. after all, why was she running? what did she stand for? the most pathetic part of the leaks were the internal memos where she kept demanding they come up with a message. what is her message? you're approaching 70 years old, you've been running for a decade and you don't know why you're running? she never knew what she was running. it was her turn, it was like that famous moment in the latete '70s when teddy kennedy was running for president and roger mudd asked him why are you running?

and he couldn't answer. the answer was, because i'm supposed to. i'm supposed to, i'm entitled to., sanders had a message. he had a message for america, he had a political theory for all of his weirdness and the fact that socialism isn't exactly a good fit in america, there was substance. there was none there. i think in the end, that's what defeated her. there was no rationale for her run and the democratic party suffered being trapped by the clinton machine. nobody would rise. there were no serious candidates to challenge her. which should have happened but she cleared the field, she had all the money. she had the official backing, she had the name. she had the associate

the president looked at in some ways fondly at least by democrats. that wasn't enough. >> tucker: what a sad story. >> i don't want to be cynical about this but really she ought to just let it sit for a while and let people appreciate her good qualities. >> tucker: i think that's a really wise piece of advice. i doubt she'll listen but she should. thank you. even many in the press think hillary clinton's claims havee gone too far. also another man is being fingered as a key figure in the fbi probe of the russian connection. that man dares to join us just ahead.th

played a key role in her defeat. can you explain a role in her loss? >> let me say one thing, we acknowledge tragedies in a show like this that happened earlier today, i think pulling out of this climate deal was a tragedyy for future generations. and for the economy, as the ceos of dow and g.e. and apple and others. >> tucker: you're in mourning. i bet if i would ask you what was in the agreement, you wouldn't know. >> i do. >> tucker: that makes you unique. who were the macedonians? >> what she was talking about, 17 intelligence agencies said without qualification that the russians were behind the subversion of the elections. >> tucker: she is talking about the macedonians. who were these macedonians? she tried to become president six months ago.. yesterday on live tv she said at the macedonian agents -- who were they? >> i think we have reports of

that as well, they were also working in cahoots with the russians and wikileaks. >> tucker: how does she know that? >> what we know what the facts. the facts are a couple days before the democratic convention, wikileaks dropped these emails that are very damaging to debbie wasserman schultz creating chaos there. roger stone boasted about his conversations with julian assange, wikileaks, the hour after access hollywood said yesterday the emails were going to drop and drop, dick cheney called it an act of if you don't agree with that, you have a complaint with him. >> tucker: i don't think dick cheney is arguing that the macedonians stole the election from hillary clinton but she is arguing that. i have to be honest with you you've been around a long time, i know a ton of democrats here in washington, i don't know onee of them who isn't shocked by what hillary clinton said yesterday, attacking the democratic party, attacking

barack obama's dnc when she had twice the money of donald trump. the sitting president of the united states put everything on the line for her and she attacks barack obama yesterday? far be it from me to defend obama but that's insane. tried hard to get her elected and failed and she's attacking him now. >> charles just said what a horrible candidate this was. she got 3 million more votes than donald trump and more primary votes than barack obama. >> tucker: she lost and there are a lot of reasons why. but to turn around and blame the democratic party which was all in for hillary clinton, this is a horrible thing to do. as a democrat, how can you defend that? >> her principal beef is with comey. >> tucker: i thought it was the russians.

>> >> the principal one is with comey. >> tucker: what about sexism? >> the day of the comey letter, she is up six, by the time of the dust settles, every single morning for the next week, the mainstream media is talking about the comey letter and undecideds break for trump in those few swing states. >> tucker: i've heard the theory, what did she do wrong? i take responsibility, i did wrong, i never heard what exactly she did wrong. how did she mess up? she must be culpable, she lost her second election in a row. what specifically did she do wrong? >> i think of what she would say it from a messaging standpoint she would say something alongit the lines of i know how to create 22 million new jobs. i was in the white house when that happened. this business about what trump said about creating jobs would be an illusion. >> tucker: because my husband did it, therefore -- >> because she was there, we now have somebody who doesn't really know that frederick douglass is not alive, thinks andrew jackson was around for the war.

>> tucker: if only she had a different message but isn't the message the same as the campaign? the entire campaign is built around a message, your conceded she had a wrong message, that's like saying the car has no engine. >> the fact that the message was great until the comey letter. she was up six-points. it was more than obama was up-- >> tucker: i can't remember what was the message before the comey letter. >> saying to the middle class,'r with help you're going toca get whether it's through education, research development or job training, child care. all the things frankly we've seen congress say no to. >> tucker: i want to be clear, what did she do wrong?g? she said she had this great message that t you couldn't explain -- >> it was working until the comey letter.ou >> tucker: she should have changed her message. >> i'm saying the comey letter was so serious.

50 fold more searches for clinton fbi after the comey letter. there was a big distraction. the message was working. she would have been seen as a genius. w >> tucker: i think comey heard her, i just want to know what she did wrong and neither you nor she can give me a clear --no >> should have been more about jobs, and less stronger together.he it would be about jobs, jobs, jobs, i think she had a credible case because when she was living in the white house, 22 million jobs were created. >> tucker: why didn't she say it? >> i think what you have her on the show you have to ask her. she had the core competence that we now pray for. >> tucker: she seemed kind of nuts yesterday, but whatever my view. it's great to see you, thank you for that. hillary clinton is the only one determined to expand the russian

alone with her tinfoil hats anymore. she's in a club that now includes the majority of registered democrats. a new poll by the economist finds that 59% of democrats believe that russians literally rigged vote tallies to hand the fall election to donald trump. something for which there is no evidence at all, and nobody who is saying is claiming that. another politician who was accused of being a put -- putin plant the whole time. leaks from unnamed sources probably within the u.s. intel community, say brexit advocate nigel farrage, he joins us tonight to answer a very simple question. are you now or have you ever been an agent of the putin government? >> [laughs] i have to say, if ever there was a case of fake news, this is it. what they have done as they

tried to join the dots together. i was involved with brexit. i was involved with the trump campaign in 2016. upsetting their world. therefore i must somehow be associated with the russians. it is total and utter hysterical nonsense. >> tucker: it's a little more than that because this arose in "the guardian"tt newspaper which is very left wing but does journalism. they are claiming sources who they imply are in the u.s. government are saying this. i have no doubt that it is untrue. it's libel. it's also suggesting the u.s. government is trying to hurt you in a significant way. does that bother you? >> i just don't believe it. sources, it could be anybody. they tried to imply i'm a person of interest, they've rung up the fbi, who haven't given them an answer either way. i would be very surprised

if i was a person of interest, i'll tell you why. i've never done business in russia, i have literally no political connections with russia whatsoever. the whole thing is a fantasy from people who cannot accept the fact that they lost badly last year. >> tucker: have you ever passed microfilm in aea public park to a russian agent, and what about macedonia? do you have any connections to secret agents in macedonia? >> i only wish i had, because life would be so much more exciting, i'm afraid not guilty on both questions. >> tucker: we're laughing about this because it is so ludicrous.s. it's a definition of ludicrous. it's also damaging to accuse people in public, even anonymously of a reputation destroying act like collaborating with an authoritarian government such as putin's. we've seen a lot of this, i don't know if we've ever had political witch hunts in great britain but we have here,

and this looks like one of them to me. >> yeah, this is far bigger than anything i've seen in britain certainly since brexit. they've tried to apportion blame. they've tried to make out a net work of hate, they haven't gotten very far with it. the concern with this one is that it's actually gaining some traction in the usa among a lot of democrats who are beginning to believe this constant stream of rubbish that is put out about the russian conspiracy. the difficulty is, put yourself in my shoes, just what do you do when "the guardian" newspaper publishes a story like this? how do you disprove them? how can you make them reveal their sources? frankly, without going to the high court and spending hundreds and thousands of dollars and months of your life on it, it's very, very difficult. >> tucker: how did you respond to this? >> i did say to the british

media that i apologize for taking a long time. to answer. i was so busy laughing when i read the article. it is utter nonsense. i think in my case, in 48 hours, this will blow over. >> tucker: you have a much better sense of humor than i do, i salute you for that. a calmness and amused detachment that i envy.nd nigel farrage, you're being wronged and you are nice to come on tonight. a the attorney general of the state of ohio now suing the five major drug manufacturers saying they help addicts to america to opiate painkillers in order to make a quick buck. a the attorney general of ohio joins us next. attorney generalo attorney generalo joins us nex♪ it's happening, it's happening! in the modern world, you can control just about anything with an app. your son is turning on all the lights again! you can do the same with your car insurance with the esurance mobile app.

>> tucker: we want to bring you tonight a new segment of "drugged," which is t an ongoing look at the opioid crisis gripping

the united states. in previous segments we told yoo about the major role that the oxycontin creator purdue pharma and other drug companies have played in wide acceptance and distribution of highly addictive painkillers. they argued for both of those and they work with terrible consequences. the attorney general of ohio mike dewine wants to take them to task for that. his state is suing purdue pharma and four other drug companies and accusing them of responsibility of f creating a drug epidemic that's killed more ohioans than the vietnam war did. mike dewine joins us a tonight. thanks a lot for joining us. what's the essence of your case against purdue pharma and the other four companies here? >> the essence of our case is this: historically these pain meds were used for end-of-life situations. someone has cancer, w they are dying of cancer. they are also used for someone has a wisdom tooth out,

they might take one or two. beginning in the late '90s, what the drug companies did in e very concerted way, they spentru hundreds of millions of dollars to do this,ds the doctors they were targeting were not really the payment specialists, they were the general practitioners, the family doctors that you and i would go to. they targeted them and they wanted them to believe and told them these medications were not very addictive. they told him it was very, very appropriate for someone who has long term pain, chronic pain and they were very, very successful. not only did they convince doctors. they convinced the public. they turned the culture, if i can say that. what we're saying it ohio and you've reported to very well, thank you for doing it, you've reported what's going on in ohi, and we've been devastated. it's not just the number of people who die, losing ten or 12 a day, it's the children's

services that are overflowing with foster kids. we think 50% of all the foster kids in ohio today arear there because one or both parents are drug addicts. >> tucker: overwhelming epidemic in its scale. key question is, did purdue pharma and these other companies know the drugs were addictive? how could they not know that? >> how could they not know? they went to great expense and you'll have to hand it to them, they were very, very successful in changing the culture. they did it in some of the same ways that we've seen before with tobacco. the one thing that stands out, they would fund kind of a third party who supposedly was unbiased and they would come out with reports that were saying this is not very addictive. they would employ doctors.

key opinion makers in their community, they would give them slides, talking points, the doctors i'm sure believed what they were saying was true. the pharmaceutical companies were telling them that. they believed that. they even came up with a thing t they called pseudo-addiction. when someone was showing the signs of addiction and the doctor was treating that person, purdue pharma, would basically say it is pseudo-addiction. there's not enough pain pills being prescribed, you have to go and prescribed more, you haven't hit the point. they just really misled the american people. >> tucker: do you have evidence that it wasn't an honest mistake? w >> here's one thing that i think is interesting. when we all get our

prescriptions, you open it up and there's all this fine print and there's a number of different pages in there. if you compared what is in those pages, compared with what they were actually telling doctors it the glossy folders and the advertising, two different things. you would find some of the more realistic examples and problems that were connected when you read the fine print. how many people go read that fine print?d anybody over 40 would have to take a magnifying glass to read it. they are saying one thing that was true but in their marketing, it was simply not true. all of this is going to go to court. i have to play the lawyer and say we believe this is what the evidence will show. we spent a long time looking at this, we would not have filed

this unless we thought the evidence would show this, and convince a jury in ohio that this was true. >> tucker: so many lives have been destroyed, an iconic picture on the screen oft grandparents. passed out, o.d.ed on opiates, grandkids in the back.dk nobody hasn't been held accountable for this. we will be following this very closely, thanks for joining us tonight. appreciate it. steve hilton is getting a brand-new show on the fox news channel, and it starts next sunday but you can see him in the next statement. we hope you will stay tuned. i discovered a woman my family tree, named marianne gaspard. i became curious where in africa she was from. so i took the ancestry dna test to find out more about my african roots. ancestry really helped me fill in a lot of details. trust #1 doctor recommended dulcolax.

"the next revolution with steve hilton." he joins us now. congratulations. this is awesome. i'm going to watch this show every sunday night. you're doing it from los angeles. what is that like and are you taking any flacku' from your neighbors who don't agree with you? >> lots of flack. thank you for giving me a chance to talk about it. before we get into it, i have a very important update for you. last night on your show, you unleashed some wild speculation the president tweet covfefe was actually hungarian. my parents are hungarian. i speak hungarian. i can confirm that covfefe is not hungarian. >> tucker: i got an email from charlie, one of the great place kickers in football history. he said "not hungarian." i think it's finished now.

whatever. what's the show about? >> what i really want the show to be about is be a sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. someone gotm there first. it's very much in line with thes way you see the world. looking at the failures of the elitist policies, it really let people down especially working people. a positive agenda for changes that will help people in their daily lives. i am calling it positive populism. >> tucker: i guess the broader question here, the hysteria coming from the people in charge recently is so intense. is that because they feel their grip on power slipping, they're becoming more delusional, what is going on with those people?e? >> i think that'se exactly righ, they've had it their way for so long. in business, government.

centralized power. they've got corporations getting bigger and bigger on a global scale, unaccountable, same is happening with government, these multinational institutions. they finally see that people have had enough of it. vote after vote, you saw it with brexit, you sought with donald trump last year. the people are trying to carry out this revolution, we want to explain that populist movement, what should be comingom next and really put power back in people's hands. >> one of the smartest people i know and one of the best explainers. the show is the next revolution, thanks a lot for that. we'll be right back. important te than my vacation. so when i need to book a hotel room, i want someone that makes it easy to find what i want. booking.com gets it. they offer free cancellation if my plans change. visit booking.com. booking.yeah.
