tv   Tucker Carlson Tonight  FOX News  July 6, 2017 8:00pm-9:00pm PDT

8:00 pm
you're gonna love it. how did it start? i will be filling in for sean hannity tomorrow night. we will have a lot of fun. tune in next. we will see you tomorrow night. >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." massive protests in hamburg, germany, where thousands gathered to protest. a g20 summit attended by the president. police used fire hoses to maintain order. 15 police officers were hurt in the ensuing chaos. earlier in the day, the president received a far warmer
8:01 pm
reception in warsaw,ea poland, where he spoke to a crowd that would not have been out of place at a rally in oklahoma or ohio. speeches like this are always an occasion for a president to say nice things about the country he is visiting, and president trump did that. but then he went on to do something unusual. he offered a spirited defense of western civilization from those who seek its destruction. who exactly would destroy it? radicalon islam, of course, isi, brain-dead jihadists and crazy people with bombs. they are a danger to us, the president explained. maybe the gravest threat we face comes from within. the president put it this way. >> we must work together to confront forces, whether they come from inside or out, from the south or the east, that threaten over time to undermine
8:02 pm
these values into a race the bonds of culture, faith, and tradition. that make us who we are. [cheers and applause] if left unchecked, these forces will undermine our courage, sap our spirit, and weaken our willn to defend ourselves and our societies. >> tucker: undermine our courage. sap our spirit. isis isn't doing that. our elites are. they tell us hate ourselves and our culture and our history when they teach our children to the country that produced them. when they claimed that percentage point of annual economic o growth is more important than the bonds that connect us to each other. america isn't falling to foreign invaders, it is rotting from within because the people in charge don't think it's worth preserving. you have to love a civilization in order to save it, and they veandon't. in 141 of the christmas chemist truest words he is ever spoken, the prisoner might of the world why the west is worth defendings
8:03 pm
>> we are the fastest and the w greatestng community. there is nothing like our community of nations. the world has never known anything like our community of nations. we write symphonies. we pursue innovation. we celebrate our ancient heroes, embrace our timeless traditions and customs. and always seek to explore and discover brand-new frontiers.d we reward brilliance. we strive for excellence. we cherish inspiring works of art that honor guard. we treasure the rule of law and protect the right to free speech. and free expression. we empower women as pillars of our society and of our success.
8:04 pm
we put faith in family, not government and bureaucracy at the center of our lives, and we debate everything. we challenge everything. we seek to know everything so that we can better know ourselves. and above all, we value the dignity of every human life, protect the rights of every person, and share the hope of every song delivering freedom. >> tucker: we don't hear much, but all that is true. we are different from other societies. we speak freely, we protect the individual. we do write symphonies. we have no reason to be ashamed. we've got a lot of reasons to be proud. not just of wealth, not just the sum of our gdp, but a constellation. values, norms, traditions, heroes, villains, and even religious beliefs are the most successful and benevolent in human, history. it still vulnerable.
8:05 pm
all civilizations are vulnerable. rome looked invincible at one point, too. it turned out not to be.ut it's worth remembering the basics. western civilization is a birthright. it makes all good things possible. undefended,rtes he collapses. we got to fight to preserve it. not just with air strikes, but with a vigorous defense of our commont values. nothing matters more than that. president trump has his flaws, but to his everlasting credit he is willing to say all of that outo loud. that's worth something.g. maybe a lot. charles krauthammer is a writer andco columnist. one of the finer fruits of western civilization. he joins us tonight. charles, what did you make of the speech ? >> i'm working on a symphony, so i will let you know. look -- [laughs] >> it would be my unfinished symphony, that's for sure. this is this best speech he's given. it was very reagan-ask it was not so much about american exceptionalism, he kept
8:06 pm
saying we and you, the poles, and the europeans, the west. this was a defense of the west. that's what made it so unusual foras trump. this is the antithesis of his inaugural address, because it was about america. he didn't speak about the free world. he spokeec about our allies as parasites in that speech. this was a complete overturning of that. this is a return to traditional american universalism, leading the community of nations meaning nato, the west, europe, including a lot of east asia, other places as well. and by taking on the mantle of leadership,ac basically expandig the meaning of americanism to go beyond our shores. it was a huge step, and extremely significant. >> tucker: what was so interesting about it for my perspective was not his attack on islamic extremism, which i think is warranted and good for
8:07 pm
him for saying it out loud. but identifying the rods within american culture and saying we don't believe in our ownwn valu. alt then all is lost. there something about that, tht is going to offend an awful lot of people, i suspect. >> if they read the speech or if they hear it, i'mi not sure thy will. but i think that is the key. i would not attribute the sort of lack of faith in our society to our elites. i think it resides more with the left. now the left, having had a 50 year program of what they call the march through the institutions, had a plan to take over the institutions, the leading ones. thee universities. the purveyors of hollywood media, the places where you go to learn. even museums for god sake. they have succeeded. i wouldn't call that the elites. yes, they control a lot of the position of power, but that isee theon left and i don't think it applies to conservative elites.
8:08 pm
who have the faith. i think that was the message of this speech, upholding those. the flip side, that was the most anti-russian speech since ronald reagan. he may have had a few lines on islamic radicalism, but he was unrelenting in attacking the russians, which in many ways undoes the vision, the meme which i thinkk is simply false f him as an instrument, a manchurian candidate of the russians. he not only attack them for their actions in world war ii, he was savage on how they treated the polls during the 40 years of cold war. and then he went ahead and basically said we are here to rescue you from your on russian gas. because we are going to use it as a weapon. we are not going to hold you hostage. these, people are your enemies.
8:09 pm
that was, again, something new and very refreshing. >> tucker: i think when history of all this is written, the idea that he's in bed with putin, while there are valid criticism, there will be the most ludicrous of all. charles, thanks a lot. >> my pleasure. >> tucker: president trump held the second meeting with the german chancellor today. angela merkel. meanwhile, the migrant crisis continues unabated, accelerated. crossing the miniature nancy, crossing the mediterranean sea. and recently austria demilitarized in order to prevent mass migrant arrivals. the best-selling author of his book. has angela merkel rethought her position on migrants at all? >> it certainly has overturned.
8:10 pm
she imported an extra 2% of the population in one year in 2015. last year, which did badly in regional elections, she suddenly said what was reported as an apology, it actually wasn't hurt she just said i wish we'd been better prepared for what happened. the consequences of what she did in 2015, opening the external borders of europe to the world, anybody that walked in could get into europe, it still being felt all the time. you just mentioned it. 12,000 people came in to the italian islands alone just last weekend. c this has consequences across thu continent. as youou mention, the austrian sending troops to the italian borders to reinforce it. just this past week, the danish intelligence services said the major threat to their country comes from the thousands of religious extremists in sweden.r those aren't crazy calvinists who are kicking off in sweden, they are the people who come recently into sweden at angela
8:11 pm
merkel's invitation. >> tucker: there was a "new york times" piece about his speech in warsaw, because it is basically one editorial now, that paper, the ticket to dig at the polish government for not allowing the migrant flow that germany and belgium have. central and eastern europe seem to be holding a line against this. do you think they will continue? >> yes, they have. it's one of the most interesting things. western europe and eastern europe think totally differently about this. a right-wing prime minister, in hungry and a left-wing prime minister in slovakia are absolutely as on the fact that they don't want to take in millions of refugees and migrants. theys. don't think it's the jobf their country to be a home for anyone in the world who wants to walk in and call their country home. i don't think that's going to change. by the way, that sneering of "the new york times" and other papers, they should really reflect on the fact that even some of their cherished figures
8:12 pm
are starting to realize this, a very interesting development, bill gates gave an interview to one of the german papers. bill gates in 2015 said that one america should take in migrants at the same rate that germany has. but just this week in a change of tone, bill gates said in an interview with the german newspaper that actually europe cannot, obviously cannot survive with the rates of migration that it's got at the moment. he said you got to find a way to stop the boat from landing. if everyone is starting to realize this, why don't we start to think now about the ways to solve it? as i say in my book, there are a whole load of things we should have been doing from the beginning. it was inevitable that people would realizegi this is a catastrophe. weou have been woefully slow in waking up to it. i think that the lesson that america in to learn from this is incredibly striking. >> tucker: yes. and routinely and assertively ignored.
8:13 pm
by our policymakers. douglas murray. thank you. president trump continues to bash the press overseas. the press not happy about it. next we explore what is going on inside cnn. the organizers of the women's march is planning a protest against the national rifle association. we will get a preview. stayi tuned. they're back! and, at outback our sweet, tender snow crab legs come with a big bold outback steak! and, speaking of big... why not go full aussie, and go for a full pound! steak & crab starts at just $15.99. but, hurry in... when they're gone, they're gone!

8:15 pm
8:16 pm
8:17 pm
>> tucker: president trump didn't just defend western civilization during his visit to poland today. during a joint news conference president, trump criticized cnn for hounding that anonymous reddit user who had the gall to create an anti-cnn gif featuring the president. >> what cnn did was unfortunate for them. as you know, they have some pretty seriouset problems. they have been fake news for a long time. they have been covering me in a very, very dishonest way. with cnn and others, nbc is equally as bad. despite the fact that i made them a fortune with "the apprentice," but they forgotas that. i will say that cnn has really taken it too seriously, and i think they've hurt themselves very badly. very, very badly. >> tucker: whoa. that led the newscast on lots of other channels today, overpaid cable anchors calling it unpatriotic,c, criticized demo
8:18 pm
being on foreign soil. watch. >> american presidents traveling abroad typically uphold american values such as press freedom and the institution of the presidency. mr. trump, for his own reasons, did not. a >> he got savaged for attacks against m the people in the med. it does not help his poll numbers. >> a piece of everything he said, the timing on foreign soil in a region of the worldld where the question of press freedom is important.l no other president in ourio lifetime would say such a thing. >> tucker: you couldn't make it up. so now, joe, it's unpatriotic. by the way, the president, we open this. i'm not a defender of the guy, but he just gave a speech defending western civilization, andh freedom of expression. but now the press is telling us it's unpatriotic for him to
8:19 pm
criticize them. how does that work? i thought it would be bad tocr criticizee soldiers, but now the samehors are in category? >> it works the way of selective outrage, tucker. i don't know if he saw maxine waters tweet that came on just couple hours ago. she said about donald trump, our president on foreign soil with foreign leaders, because apparently this against the rules as well, only a week and impotent leader would spend more time attacking his predecessor in the free press than those in the world truly threatening us. when i looked at the twitter feed, and some other people that you feature. no one is condemning miss waters for making that mistake of criticizing a president what he is overseas. so until i see that, this is the definition of selective outrage and it is phony. >> tucker: but is this a long-standing tradition that you don't criticize cable anchors when you are outside of american borders?s? is that an assault on our flag and our history do you think?
8:20 pm
>> i don't believe so.o. i believe that is trump exercising his first amendment rights. he was asked a question from a reporterer about that cnn situation yesterday, you talked about it on your show with mark stein, there was a colorful conversation, particular the horse in the bed thing from the godfather, as far as cnn tracking down an anonymous troll who created a twitter meme, wrestlingm meme of trump wrestling a logo to the ground. so silly and so preposterous no one wouldus take it seriousl. woand then the network actually threatening to expose this person if i he acted inappropriately on the internet everat again. that's called doxxing. it was condemned by the left and the right. cnn, another self-inflicted wound that the president was addressing during a press conference where he was asked a question and gave an answer. is he a traditional president?
8:21 pm
no. but you ask a question to give an answer, that's how it works. >> tucker: you get a lot out of laughing at things once in a while. you can't be outraged all thee time about everything, it's not a good look. so what's going on. you are a media reporter and followed this stuff carefully. cnn has had an awful lot of crises in the past few weeks. is there any indication that the people that run the place are looking within and saying "may p we make all the mistakes we are accused of, but we made some and i are going to fix them." is there any of that? >> i t don't see that in terms f public comments, twitter feeds ofngth the on-air personalitiesd the network president. they seem to be playing the card that they are the victims here. that donald trump, the president, is bullying them.at the conservative media is bullying them. they don't seem to be acknowledging the myriad of mistakes that they have made. i would say this is the worst stretch in the 37 year history of cnn. just think of the aggregate for a second. you had two major attractions in june. one of which involved anthony scaramucci who was a trump ally that led to three resignations of highly decorated reporters. kathy griffin holding up the fake severed head of donald trump. that led to her getting fired
8:22 pm
from the network's new year's eve coverage. a host who was fired because he called the president a pos. producers caught on camera and undercover videos talking about how the narrative in russia is mostly b.s., and american voters are stupid, and obviouslyus the july 4th the situation with the reddit troll. that they said they would expose if he acted inappropriately. all these things in aggregate, tucker, is horrible. today you had their political editor at large, who actually put up a video, a 22nd video, that appeared to show donald trump being blown off by the polish first lady. except that, if you watch that video for four more seconds, by the way, they say oh, my god, oh my on his twitter feed in all caps. if you watch the whole thing, of course she shakes president trump's hand. she went to melania trump first and then she shook donald trump's hand again. you have this important person there, not understanding that there is so much scrutiny around this network that when you put
8:23 pm
up fake videos like that with false editing, it only leads to the perception that cnn is the opposition party. that is why when a harvard study comes out, 92% of the coverage of the trump administration is negative. this only feeds to the narrative that cnn is not acting like the impartial, objective network theybj claim to be. >> tucker: i still have friends there. i think they are dying. it's so embarrassing for them. >> it's a tough business, and for this to happen on a daily basis, i could imagine what it's like. unless you're on-air, you don't get paid a lot and the hour stinks and you work weekends, and to see -- i feel sorry for some of the producers i know over there. >> tucker: and run like a political campaign, not a journalist organization. joe, thank you. appreciate it. peta, they are being called sexist after they used bikini models to protest at wimbledon. does anyone deserve to win this left-wing civil war? they hate each other, we have the details.
8:24 pm
stay tuned. so if you switch to esurance, saving is a pretty safe bet. auto and home insurance for the modern world. esurance. an allstate company. click or call.
8:25 pm
8:26 pm
8:27 pm
could be preventedrrent with the right steps. and take it from me, every step counts. a bayer aspirin regimen is one of those steps in helping prevent another stroke. be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. >> tucker: it's blue versus blue.u wimbledon, the animal rights group peta sent a group of bikini-clad models to the tennis torment where they gave strawberries wither dairy free cream to promote veganism. sounds harmless enough. but now peta is being denounced by0 feminists for '70s style sexism. oddly exported and, no different from milking cows. wendy is a feminist template
8:28 pm
will and joins us now. wendy, if this bother you, what's likely to go to the beach where there are literally thousands of women in bikinis? you must go crazy. do you try to cover them? how do you do respond? >> actually not. it doesn't bother me when i got to the beach. the issue here is around the issue of sexually exploiting women when it comes to the peta ad. whether it's having women in a cage or whether peta does something like telling adults to drink breast milk, it's something that really goes against how we should be looking atth women. there's no reason why adults should be asked to drink breast milk. they use these types of exploitative adds to -- >> tucker: i'm sorry, we canan get those, but i'm not for adults drink breast milk. >>lk that's actually why -- >> tucker: i thought feminism is about choice. why does that bother you? maybe some people like it. >> actually feminism is about
8:29 pm
making sure that women and men have equal rights. what peta is doing is they're trying to over sexualize women to make people buy their products and buy their mission. at the end of the day, i think that what peta is doing is great, i think it's awesome, nobody believes in animal cruelty and quite frankly if you do, you need to look at yourself, but it is about the mission. at the end of the day, if you have to use women in a sexualav manner to be able to advance your mission, then you have to question whether you have an flawed message. >> tucker: let me ask you this question. the women in question, you are looking at them in the bikinis, are they adults? >> they are. they were adults. they have the right to use their bodies anyway they want t to. >> tucker: well >> absolutely. that's the question. >> tucker: they weren't forced at gunpoint to do this. but you are behaving as if they are children being exploited or they are too dumb to know what they are doing or what it means.
8:30 pm
do you know that they are too dumb to know what it means? >> no one is behaving like they are too dumb, no one is behaving as if they are too dumb to know what to do. but we are saying is that ifom your mission is solely based on using women and a sexualized manner to get your mission across, then you have to start making pivots to advance your mission in a better way. >> tucker: i just want to bring you back to the question >>at hand. >> i answered it.br >> tucker: these women chose to do this. >> absolutely. >> tucker: i thought part of equality was being able to make yourbs own choices. even choices others might disagree with. as an adult, you have that agency, the freedom to do it. >> absolutely. >> tucker: when did y these women lose the right to wear bikinis if they want to? >> they never lost that right, tucker. what is being said is that if a hasany historically systematically used women in a sexualized manner to continuously tried to get their mission across, whether you have women locked up in a cageus or whether you tell adults -- >> tucker: you are making generalizations.
8:31 pm
what if they volunteered for it? >> i'm not making generalizations, i've actually given your specifics about whatu peta has done in the past. d >> tucker: what if they want to? what if they volunteer for? what if this is their choice? the evidence suggested is their choice. >> it is their choice, but i think what you are doing is you are trying to place blame on the individuals as opposed to looking at the million dollar company. b that's what -- that's exactly what you are doing.lo you keep on asking about the women, it's not aboutct the wom. they were paid for. i'm sure they didn't do it against their will. what we are talking about is the mission. >> tucker: it's not actually about the women? you just answered your own question. >> it's about the mission of the organization, tucker. they use women to exploit them. that's what the issue is. >> tucker: maybe that's the problem with modern feminism. it's not really about the women. >> no, modern feminism is all
8:32 pm
about equality. and as a father of three girls i'm surprised you don't see that feminism. that's really sad. >> tucker: i live with for four women in my house and i treat them like adults because they are. >> good. and we will not sexualize anybody. >> tucker: thank you for joining us. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: speaking of feminism, one of the organizers of last january's women's march is planning a new protest, this time targeting the nra, that national rifle association. the protest comes in the wake of an nra ad in which a radio show host dana loeschn when after , hollywood, and other anti-gun institutions in america. here it is. >> and then they used their ex-president to endorse the resistance. all to makesi them march, make them protest. make them scream racism and sexism and xenophobia and homophobia, the smash windows, burn cars, shut down interstates and airports, bully and terrorize the law-abiding. >> tucker: dana loesch joins us tonight. her voice is what you heard. are youou going to the women's march, dana?
8:33 pm
>> oh, tucker, it's not the march. it's only some women's march. they don't like pro-life women's groups. they don't like women who want to be in power to use this commitment to defend themselves. ico wasn't invited. they don't really like all women. >> tucker: i've noticed that. how frustrating is that?n. if there was a men's march that only accepted certain kinds of men, men who believe only a certain set of things that i happen to not believe, and yet they claim to speak for all men, it would drive me crazy. how do you feel as a woman when you see this march, presented as a march that represents every woman? >> while they don't represent everywoman. frankly, tucker, i know that they may try to flail their arms. they get an apology for me or the millions of members of the nra, and one is not coming. i want to state that very clearly. i think my ad is fabulous orri d absolutely correct. stop burning down buildings and we but i'm not going to be lectured don't have a problem. by women's organization that features a key figurehead, convicted terrorist, i'm notng good to be lectured to by women
8:34 pm
organizations where the organizer called for jihad against president trump just recently while speaking at a pretty extremist conference i'm not going to be lectured, in 2001. tucker, by some only when, only some women, and fact organization where they go after people like -- and they try to f shame her for being a genital survivor and saying she needs to be beaten on behalf of her parts taken away. so no, i'm not going to be lectureded by the fake feminist women's organization. in fact, i dare say thatme if fe feminist want to see empowered women, women who actually support and encourage their pew points, they can take a trip to the nra. >> tucker: one that's kind of the obvious point. i spent a lot of time at various protests. he wished the press was t honest enough to acknowledge the w
8:35 pm
obvious, if we go to an ira event, and you go to an event like the women's march, who is happier? who is more polite? who is more decent to the people in their immediate vicinity? it's not even close. just being honest. it's true. >> it's not. we are going to keep people out just based on ideological differences. there are democrats in the nra. there are atheists in the nra. there are pro-choice members, pro-life members. you are not going to find n a me varieded group. the one thing that members of the nra don't like, and by the way, it was from their concerns this ad came, because they were very concerned about a lot of the violent actions that they had seen from the violent faction on the left, one of the things that we all don't support is burning down buildings. as a form of protected speech. or punching people in the face if they are wearing a trump hat. or anything like that. that's what we don't support.t tucker, this is not a real feminist organization. there only four women who think like them. it's a bigoted, fake feminist women's organ as is. theywe owe us an apology. at the other way around. >> tucker: dana loesch, great to see you. thanks for coming on. >> i persisted, tucker.
8:36 pm
>> tucker: good for you. it's been too long since we had mike row on the show. he will be here to talk about the popularity of emojis. what that says about america's work ethic. mike rowe just around the corner. and actually improves memory. the secret is an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. the name to remember.
8:37 pm
8:38 pm
[boy] cannonball! [girl] don't... [man] not again! [burke] swan drive. seen it. covered it. we know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪ radio: scorching heat today folks[ barks ]ol out there! walter!

8:40 pm
protect your clothes from stretching, fading and fuzz with downy fabric conditioner. fading and fuzz with downy fabric conditioner. it smooths and strengthens fibers to protect clothes from the damage of the wash. so your favorite clothes stay your favorite clothes. downy fabric conditioner. >> tucker: we never miss a chance to talk with former dirty jobs host mike rowe. recently a set of 50 emojis was released and text messaging. what does that say about the modern world? mike rowe has thought a lot about this, more than you would think he said. here is his view. great to see you. >> nice to see you. >> tucker: so emojis, there is a brand-new assortment emojis.
8:41 pm
teenagers across america are excited. i sense this is bad. i can't articulate why. what do you think? >> let's see. as i understand asian history we started with hieroglyphics it appears we may have gone full circle.pp i don't know how much righteous indignation we can whip up over the emojis, but i am troubled by their quantity. there are hundreds of these things and they seem to have assumed every possible expression, every nuance of feeling seems to now be accessible in this endless pile of e emojis. i didn't know, there was that many emotions in the human condition, but now we have to choose which ones to use to express ourselves and to whom andch when, so not sure way to simplify things at all. >> tucker: it does seem like theyfy are bypassing language. youu know what i mean? of we have the biggest language in the history of languages. more words than any other languages overhead in english. why are people choosing not to use it?en >> i think, again, just a theory, but i think this general assault on conventional norms of
8:42 pm
work, which we've talked about ad nauseam before. has bled over into an assault on the lexicon. >> tucker: like velcro shoes. >> again, it's nothing to get angry about, but it's unnerving. it's disconcerting to look down and see velcro when you expect blaces. i don't know if it's a harbinger of the end of days, but it is troubling because you have to ask regarding emojis, what is next? grunts? interpretive dance? look, we are grown -- grown people are now communicating with texts that say "you are great." but great is gr8. it'sbi like the language and mnemonics,nt we are hooked on phonics with the little emoji things combined. i don't know what's happening,
8:43 pm
but if you want to make a serious point, what about this.g what if this slow degradation of the languages actually in component of the demise of softe skills? a soft skills are the things that allow you to not take a phone call during a job interview. maybe you pull your pants up. show up on time. the basic things that many employers but moan today that seem to be conspicuously lacking in much of what you call the employable people looking for jobs. they are not using their words to a degree that's making people excited about hiring them. that ultimately is why the emoji has got to go with the velcro shoes. >> tucker: how big of a part ofcr employment is that? >> the people i talk with who i really trying to close the skills gap in their own part of the world, they say it's thehe most critical thing that nobody talks about. passing the drug h test.
8:44 pm
that's half. more than half gone. but the thing that we also talk about with the skills gap is the lack of skill, obviously. but we discussed the lack of will that fuels it, but also the lack of cell skills. soft skills. people just don't know how to interview. they don't know what to say. it is basic. the erosion of that, which is basic, has to be germane to whatever it is we say were talking about. >> tucker: if you could give job advice -- i know you do this -- to someone seeking a job at the lower end, just starting, out, what kinds of counsel would youu give? >> i would say if you can, put yourself in the chair of the person considering hiring you. say to them exactly what you would want to hear if you are them. hi, it's great to be here. here is the deal. i will be early every day. i will stay late. every day. i will ask you what i can do every day to make your life
8:45 pm
simpler, if there's a difficult task i will volunteer to do it. i will do so cheerfully, and two years from now i'm going to be sitting where you are. >> tucker: [laughs] >> if somebody said that to me, i'm not checking your references. i will see you tomorrow. >> tucker: that's unnecessary, you are hired. >> and then i would give him a little smiley face. >> tucker: [laughs] thank you. washington has been frozen for months with all the smart kids obsessing over the allegedn collusion with russia. given that, why it's so interesting that the ties between russia and hillary clinton campaign chairman? we'll discuss a lot on that, next. slovakia. triceratops.

>> tucker: in poland today, president trump acknowledged that the government of russia may have meddled in last fall's election, but they likely weren't the only country that did. watch. >> i think it could very well have been russia. but i think it could have been other countries. and i won't be specific. i think a lot of people interfered. >> tucker:th that was on the first questions he got. this russia thing is gone on for months and months and months. innuendo from the press, the democratic party, all of whom have demanded and gotten major investigations of every trump associate for every conceivable time to vladimir putin's government. given that, why is the question almost everybody ignoring possible russia connections on hillary clinton's team? partly they are real. peter schweizer is the author of the book "clinton cash," he is s new op-ed putting out the complex relationship.
8:51 pm
between john podesta and the government of russia. here's whathe he says tonight. so peter, is a daily newspaper reader, i haven't read much about this. give us an outline of what we know. >> yeah, very few people have covered this. we first reported it back in july, and there's new information that's come up. in january of 2011, when john podesta's advising hillary clinton as secretary of state as part of a foreign policy advisory board, advising hert on personnel matters, speeches, policy, he joins the board of a boston-based energy company called jewel energy. two months after he joins the board, the russian government in the form of a sovereign wealth fund controlled by vladimir putin -- this is a fund called putin's child, they invest $35 million into this company. it's a big investment. the company at this point has only raised $110 million. they get board seats, ticket
8:52 pm
memberships on those executive committees, and john podesta get 75,000 shares of stock in this company.hn he goes and joins the obama administration in the white house as a senior counselor, he transfers those shares to his kids. but he continues to receive emails updating him on what jewel is doing, and even helping them make decisions. so here you have a situation which john podesta has a commercial relationship directly with the russian government. there are two russians that are sitting on the board of this company along with him. while he is advising hillary clinton on the russian reset and other issues. >> tucker: two quick questions. is he allowed to do this from his perch in the federal government? or orchestrate decision-making for the company? >> that's a great question, tucker. he was an official advisor but not on the state department
8:53 pm
payroll when he was with hillary clinton. when he joined the obama white house, he transferred those shares because he could not hold those shares. the problem is that he says thas he fully divested from them, but the emails that came out from wikileaks indicate that he was still making decisions on the shares she was on. the kids i were not involved. that's the problem. >> tucker: very quickly, is there any reason the -- that vladimir putin would have interest on this energy company? >> absolutely, it has all kinds of implications. commercial and potentially military. the purpose of this fund was to create jobs in russia, and the $35 million that this company received was ostensibly given to the company or the investment was made to create a manufacturing facility in russia itself. that factory for some reason was never built, and it's unclear what happened to that
8:54 pm
$35 million. but yes, the kind of biofuels they were developing definitely had military application, and this commercial relationship between putin and podesta is taking place during the russian reset with all kinds of test transfer going on. >> tucker: amazing. i'm not alleging anything, but i'm glad to know that. peter schweizer, thank you so much for that. up next, everybody knows the story of amelia earhart and her mysterious disappearance. somebody claims to have new evidence that shows she survived that final flight over the pacific. not just some not a conspiracy -- not just some nutty conspiracy theory. it looks real. stay tuned for that.

again. ran out of gas, that was it and that was the prevailing theory. there is new and compelling evidence that she survived her flight. a long forgotten photographli recently discovered in the national archives shows a woman who very much resembles earhart sitting on a dock in the marshall islands. an island chain then controlled by imperial japan. standingan next to the woman isa man who looks a lot like her navigator, fred noonan. it appears to be on a barge in the background. the photo is real. facial recognition experts say it's very likely it's amelia earhart in the picture. if earhart survives, what happened toke her? we don't know that and we probably never will. it's likely they were arrested by the japanese and were executed for espionage activity. the japanese government of course says they have no record on any of it but part of the earhart mystery seems to be
