♪ ♪ >> brian: good evening, everybody, and welcome to tucker tonight i'm brianev kilmeade. unless you know differently i'm going to be filling in for tucker the entire hour. meanwhile, more and more democrats are taking turns sticking knife into the fallen clinton dynasty so to speak as a wave of sexual harassment scandals engazelles washington today even top liberals are taking their turns putting a knife in bill and hillary clinton for their handling of thent former president's sexor scandals. here, for example, is what former h.h.s. secretary kathleen sebelius said to david axelrod on his podcast. >> everyone in politics knew about his behavior and we itlooked the other way. and i think there's a lot of soul searching to be done. >> you bet. and that shouldn't happen ever again. not only did people look the

other way, but they went after the women who came forward and accused them. >> was that fair criticism of hillary that she participated in that effort? >> absolutely. i think it is very fair. >> brian: now is the courage? linda tripp was at the center of the monica lewenski scandal two decades ago. she said these new attacks on the clintons are t disingenuous political posturin posturing. it's a dollar late and actually those -- it's a day late and dollar short. joining us now a guy who never messes up a phrase mark steyn author and columnist and wonderful person. mark, this is no revelation. this is political opportunity for those on the left to suddenly stand up and act as if they're above it all. where were they when it was really took courage to stand up to the clinton dynasty? >> yeah. they basically are doing it for political reasons. i mean, basically, this is

the clintons chowcheskuth moment. time to shuffle them off the roof top into the helicopter. put them up against the wall and then stick a couple of bullets in them. that's the moment they're facing. but the fact is that both democrats and the media actually celebrated clinton's behavior in the 1990s. it wasn't just that they trashed all those women. and it wasn't just that gloria steinem and other feminists -- gloria steinem wrote the famous one free grope column for the "new york times" in which she said that the system worked. bill clinton had made an improper suggestion to paula jones and actually dropped his trousers but that he took no for an answer and so as gloria steinem saw it, the system had, in fact, worked. but it went beyond that in that a whole bunch of w

so-called liberal progressives celebrated clinton's behavior. all kinds of famous feminist like k.t. and nancy friday and erika john all said how pleased they were to have a man who unlike those uptight republicans wasn't so sexually insecure that he needed to fire off rockets at every third world country on earth. they thought clinton was sexy and they thought his appetites made him sexy rather than a predator. it's been an extraordinary shift across two decades in their thinking about that guy. >> brian: it's the amazing the way can you remember 1996 and 1998.8. do you fault the american people and the times? because president clinton left with a 60% approval rating. they said the republicans overstepped. newt gingrich it cost him speakership. a lot of people who went after him looked too aggressive and end up boomerim ranking on republicans. the american people had a different mind set too. is that fair, mark?

>> i think a lot of the american people just didn't want to hear about it. i mean, there were a lot ofwa phrases in the air that i think carefully about bringing up. and people. >> brian: what the meaning of is and what is. and we don't want to fill in the gaps necessarily there but that permeated throughth the primary school system. >> that's right. and i think a lot of people just actually wanted to put their hands over their ears and say nah, nah can't hear you. the democrats in that sense -- the lesson learned was that if you brazen it out. you will succeed. and that brazening had consequences all the way to last year's elections. >> brian: right. >> because the only o reason hillary clinton was a presidential candidate is because of the deal she did with bill clinton in 1998 and 1999 that if she didn't do what most self-respecting women would do and walk out on that guy, that there would be a reward for her in the shape of a senate seat

in a state she never lived in which led to her becoming secretary of state which lediv to her becoming presidential nominee. but the fact of the matter is, the feminists threw away 40 years of hard work by standing by bill clinton. there was the famous nina burly line in that she gladly performed varioust services on him in exchangeer for keeping abortion legal. in other words, to theee liberal progressives, 20 years ago, the end justified the pants dropping. and you can't blame harvey weinstein and al franken and all the other guys for learning the lesson of that. a >> brian: ends justifies the means.s. i see the insertion there. >> i got that phrase wrong just like did you at the top of the hour, brian. >> brian: you don't have to keep bringing up my mistakes. i probably won't make another one until 2000 20.ng let's game plan this out. hillary clinton is not going anywhere. philip reigns the long time aid went back to kristin gillibrand who looked atat hillary clinton as a mentor.

she took hillary clinton's seat. when she called out hillary clinton. phil reigns went back. so the clinton camp went back at those attacking her are we going to see a democratic civil war and who will be left standing at the end? >> well, it's not going to be the clintons. i mean, you know, basically, i said it was the choocheky moment. people are figuring out that the future does not lie with these two people. and when you have the big 25th anniversary party just last week, the fact of the matter is the only relevance that bill clinton has to today's politics is the fact that there is -- that suddennagely sexual harassment has actually

become a burning topic in washington and in holiday.y. and pbs. he got away with it because he was brazen. most people would have slunk out of public life in shame. if you are wondering why charlie rose is walking around naked when you have a president in the oval office who is a serial predator. why shouldn't some slub of a host at pbs think he can get away with it too? >> brian: that's a huge leap because bill clinton had his transgressions, charlie rosent dropped his pants. that's what i'm going to leave mark steyn with on the friday edition of tucker tonight. mark, either you were very opening up your spleen for us or everyone was eviscerated at your table at the steinhaus on thanksgiving. >> no, no. sorry.ks i'm a fort night to the -- i think that's the phrase you were looking for. >> brian: enough phrases for today mark steyn for the power vested in me you can go about your weekend now. thank you.

>> thank you. >> brian: all right. coming up, it's just mouth the clintons, of course, more attacks continue to be levy idea against the powerful in politic. uma thurman of kill bill fame made this impressive instagram.m. happy thanksgiving everyone exsetting you harvey weinstein and your wicked conspiratorrers. i'm glad it's going slowly. you don't deserve a bullet. man, senator al franken has released a new apology after two more women came forward to accuse him of groping and inappropriate overall behavior. franken says this quote and tell me if it's okay with you. i feel terribly that i made some women feel badly andee added i'm a warm person. i hug people. meanwhile in the house democratic congressman kathleen rice repeated her demand that colleague john conyers, who had been serving since 1964, resign. >> conyers says it didn't happen. you say he should resign. why?

>> because enough is enough. at this point what i am voicing publicly is what every single private citizen is saying across america. why are the rules for politicians in washington different than they are for everyone else? >> they say innocent until proven guilty. sure, the court of public opinion, pressure, private entities, they can make people do different things with different pressure points. but, what do you make of that push back? >> we don't have any legal standard here. we ever talking about the court of public opinion. we are talking about holding men accountable for their actions. >> brian: meanwhile more allegations coming out on him. joining us now is ron desantis. he has seen enough. is he moving on legislation to stop the payout of would-be lawmakers without us even knowing about it. now, congressman desantis, before we talk specifically about what bothers you and where we go from here, what are you proposing they take up in washington when they get back to work?

>> well, in terms of this issue, i mean, i think all of the settlements need toe, be made public. the american taxpayer has a right to know how their taxx dollars are being used. if that money is being used to pay from a slush fund for misconduct of members of congress or congressional staff, harassment charges. they need to know about it we need to know how much was paid, who was it paid to? and who was the culprit.id that is just, to me, a bear minimum. >> brian: conyers took money out of his own covers to pay it but not his own pocket. you are talking about a fund that almost nobody knew about it seems even on capitol hill. that had $17 million in payouts, 264 settlements in total over the last 20 years. that reported by "the washington post." now, not all of this wasth harassment, sexual harassment or sexual misconduct. we didn't even know about this and it's our money. >> exactly.ey and i think that that's right, brian, i think a lot of these claims will be things like disability, age

discrimination, there will be harassment claims. and american people have a right to know all of that and i think going forward though, you have to deal with that fund, make it public. defund it going forward for any misconduct.ic but i do think you need a conyers rule that would prevent a member of congress for doing what he is purportedly did, which was effectively pay a settlement from his office budget. we all -- all members, we get office budgets. the purpose of that office budget is to represent ourt constituents. not to payse settlements for misconduct. so i think that needs to be barred as well. and then i think any member who committed misconduct, if they had this public money paid, i think the members should be on the hook for that i think they should have to reimburse the taxpayer with interest. that is a fair thing to ask. >> brian: congressman, what do you think about what kathleen rice, the democratic congresswoman from new york said he needs to resign?cr do you feel the same way?

>> well, i think if we doel the transparency, that we will get all the facts on this. from what i have read, i think that that clearly is up acceptable conduct for somebody to be serving in congress with i will tell you this, brian. this issue is one of a lot of problems when you have people that have served in congress for 50 years like he has. i think this is a great example of why we need term limits in congress in addition to these other reforms. >> brian: latest accusation comes from melanie sloan working with conyers on the judiciary committee. she says that she was called up to his place where he was walking around in his underwear. that is a third person to walk around. made her increasingly anxious going to work every day. he was actually rude to her as well. so conyers has a pattern of behavior that was kept quiet for years. i never even heard this whispered. did you know about some of these things the way hee treated many of the people that worked for him? >> no. i mean, i didn't.

i would really not have reason to. i didn't necessarily travel in his circles. my understanding though is that this stuff has come out that there is a lot of people who will now say hey, we have heard some of this stuff. a lot of it at the staff level because you have a lot of staff for him that were allegedly mistreated. and so that's not the way you are supposed to run your office. but i think what you are going to see now, if we cann get this stuff made public, you're going to see a lot of stuff come out, brian. but you know what? we need the truth on all of this. >> brian: so far leadership says they didn't know anything about it. if you get the money and some of these cases $27,000. you are also told you take the money, have you got to keep your mouth shut. this rate nobody ever finds out about it congressman ron desantis, thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you. coming up straight ahead. the russia investigation. we are going to talk aboutut it. there are new signs that lieutenant general michael flynn could try turn against president trump or are those signs being misread? we will discuss it next. ♪

♪ >> brian: former national security advisor michael flynn was one of donald trump's earlier political supporters, but he could be breaking with the president as his legal trouble deepens and so does his son's. new reports today say that the general's legal team has stopped sharing information i where president trump's legal team suggesting to some that the general could be cooperating special counsel robert mueller. after all he hasn't been indicted yet and there are some things out there that could get in him trouble. jonathan turley law school he was so intrigued and needed to talk to me so much he scrambled to be with me on thanksgiving.g. everybody is playing armchair legal scholar.

tell me what this means to you, jonathan. >> well, you know, this is not unexpected from the outset. soon after mueller was appointed. it was really all about flynn in my view. i raised his name first as the most obvious target of a a prosecutor. he has a number of the elements that targets share. he has a clear, credible criminal allegation that is a failure to register under farrah accepted half a million dollars from the nation of turkey those fara violations registration as a foreign agent almost never prosecuted that doesn't mean they can't be prosecuted.is but then the sort of -- theig narrative deepened when the allegation came out that he attended two meetings. including one after the election in which they discussed the kidnapping of a turkish dissident living in the united states. so things have only gone from bad to worse for flynn. and then the final thing was

had when we -- when it wasd clear that his son is in the mix here. and prosecutors will often look at family members as a way of coercing a plea. >> brian: so a couple of things. i got to know general flynn a little bit for about 18 months. he was a regular on our couch before he jumped on with donald trump. he had his book out field ofh fight. there is nothing indicating in his background that he looked at the russians as i anything but an enemy. in fact he said although i believe america and russia could find mutual ground fighting radical islamistsul there is no reason putin would welcome with the u.s. quite the contrary goes on about that. i have this highlighted in the book because it makes no sense in lieutenant generals michael flynn's background to think that he would try to bring president trump to russia. does that make a difference in your world?t >> well, it does. there are some connections with russia. there was a dinner with putin. that was before the election. o most of the stuff with flynn

is not related to the russians and doesn't appear related to the election. we don't know what mueller has. but, most of it goes to his relationship with turkey and the possibility that he was a foreign agent, even late into the process after the election. but people need to be careful what not to get ahead of their skis here. there are various reasons -- do i criminal defense work there are various reasons why you withdraw from this type of agreement. one is if you even startf negotiations with the prosecutor eat, you would normally withdraw because that would create a conflict. that doesn't mean that you are going to cooperate.ra mueller is going to want deliverables. somebody -- it's got to be somebody higher up in order to get a real plea agreement from mueller. that doesn't necessarilyld mean it's trump. it could be someone like manafort. it could be other people. it also could mean that they don't reach an agreement. so people need to take a breath here. we don't know a lot. >> brian: that's why it's so great to have you here because you have a level

head to all of this.an i also thought it was important, too, our correspondent says -- our intelligence says not only was trump's team told that flynn will not be talking to them or cooperating, other teams were, too. c so anybody, anything to do with the investigation was told by the flynn camp we're not going to be talking to you again. jonathan, i just wanted to b bring that up to round it out. here's the other thing. i'm just wondering in the big picture if somebody like mueller would ever give flynn a deal or start too negotiating if he didn't't know what he was capable of giving up. does he really not know? is there a chance that mike flynn has nothing to give to mueller and mueller just needs to find that out or does mueller know? >> usually before you get into serious negotiations you will put forward a thing called a proffer or you will give some type of informal understanding that you have something to offer. now, proffers are usually for an immunity agreement. but you do the same type of thing in saying i do have deliverables here. it is possible that mueller doesn't really have a good idea of what he could offer. what is clear is that he was involved in a couple of the

meetings that mueller is pursuing. this is very early to assume that he has got something significant for us or for mueller. but, frankly, he has always been the target that some of us have been wondering about. and when manafort was indicted on fara violations, all of us were thinking not of manafort but of flynn. you have to read that indictment and say but for the grace of god go i if you are general flynn. >> brian: i remember you saying that you were surprised flynn wasn't first or right after there must be something gone on. professor jonathan turley thanks so much. >> thanks, brian. >> brian: even the thanksgiving holiday couldn't bring about a cease-fire between president trump and the national football league. we will tell you about the latest battle and one owner who is thankful the president wade in. don't go away.

what started as a passion... ...has grown into an enterprise. that's why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. now, i'm earning unlimited 2% cash back on every purchase i make. everything. what's in your wallet?

>> brian: yesterday the tradition turned into controversy when new york giants defensive end note for the national anthem, you're looking at him. the protests provoked the rage of president trump who tweeted this can you believe pat the disrespect for our country kin continues our flag or anthem continues without of the players. the commissioner has lost control of the hemmerring league. the players are the boss. unsigned quarterback collin kaepernick celebrated unthanksgiving at alcatraz island. >> our fight is the same fight.

we are all fighting for oure justice, for our freedom. and realizing that we're in. this fight together makes us all the more powerful. >> brian: that's where native americans are taking over years ago and they want to mark that as thee unthanksgiving. collin kaepernick was free on thanksgiving to do that. burgess owens a former nfl player for the raiders outstanding for the jets and raiders joins us now. burgess, your reaction to the one man taking a knee r while a military member sang the national anthem? >> well, you know, we have so many places to start here. i'm so glad that president trump drew a line so we are having this conversation we are having right now. there is so much information that needs to get to youngsters. the young man we are talking about taking a knee. he is making $54 million guaranteed so what i would suggest people like $ that doing is make sure those youngsters are coming behindnd him, realize that there is a many ways that you can make in this country by overcoming and giving back. so, at the end of the day we just need to take this time and be thank of.ee

counting our blessings and particularly black men need to teach our kids that this country gives us every chance we can to overcome and be the best we can be which is being shown by the millionaires across this country. >> brian: burgess, he said i took a knee because of the racial in this country and racial brutality it doesn't end just because it's a tribute by the way on a weekend, tribute to veterans over a series of a week of the last few weeks. even though michael bennet stood because he wanted to make sure the military knows they weren't showing a slight to them.it is the message getting muddled? >> well, there is no message from the other side of the social justice. i'm not sure what that means. economic justice is whereha you start the process. these young men have a chance now, making millions dollars. they can go back and talkce about work ethic get their kids educated and get jobs. how about starting businesses and have some of these youngsters that are unemployed working now. there are so many ways, the social injustice is something that is being pumped into the black

community that is basically we just have to get passed and recognize that there is ways we can work our way out of it by free enterprise and capitalism. that's the way to get brian burgess, much different in your way. w terry bradshaw premier quarterback never made over $200,000 and he was rare. you guys had to have jobs in the off season.$2 r you guys had to do something else. have they lost that common man? they have a unique skill and work hard, i get that. a lot more money is in the league. i get that have they lost that common man experience? >> there's a lot that came out of that generation because ever the generation we had before us it that taught us to appreciate andve go work. how about, this brian, at the time i was coming through, we didn't have black quarterbacks and black centers and middle linebackers because that was the timing of our day. now we have opportunities across the board. and the biggest part in those days we did have to work in the off season.d we actually cared about our character because we realized we had the vision to know that we had to make sure we made a positive impact so when the game was done with we could go out and get a job.iv there are so many things we being turned around and we

need to first of all learn to man up. stop complaining and whining and just don't throw money at the problem. if you want to make a difference, roll up your sleeves during the offe season and get something done. teach these kids to appreciate our country and opportunity to work hard to make their lives different. >> brian: i want you to hear what jerry jones said dallas cowboy owner much different take than others including the commissioner. listen. >> donald trump is a long-time fan of sport and long-time fan of football. and has been involved as owner and professional football. so he has some knowledge. i certainly think that the thing that he is addressing is certainly a part of howth we want to make our game better. this is all a part of what i have been talking about with the commissioner and certainly i appreciate not only the president but i want everybody to be a fan of the dallas cowboys. >> brian: right. the cowboy thing aside

because it's hard for a giant fan to be a fan of the cowboys. jones is speaking out.t. >> well, what we have here is a difference in builders and managers. the commissioner is as manager. jones and donald trump, president trump, these are builders. what i suggest is this very simply. if they can give the commissioner some advice, why don't he do very simply take the advise and d learn how to rebuild the brand and put aside ego. put aside all other politics and rebuild the company he was given charge to take care of. we need to get back to the basics.. really understood and appreciate the nfl for what it was and what it represented. >> brian: you got to get better medical benefits that would be a real salute to previous generations like yours. burgess owens thanks so much.er >> happy thanksgiving, brian.n. thank you so much. appreciate it. >> brian: few days after the remarkable escape of a north korean soldier across the

border into south korea. north korea is digging in, literally. you got a new trench line that's being dug at the exact point where the borderng was where the soldier escaped. meanwhile, almost all the soldiers present when the man defect have had reportedly been replaced with the fate of thoseve soldiers unclear likely not good. north korean expert and author of nuclear showdownnd and joins us also a book on china collapse of china.ar gordon, your reaction to that video? that isn't just video that's going to go into the woodwork and into the closet, is it?eo this could have major impact.s >> it certainly okay this is the first time that the american-led u.n. command has released a video of a defector coming across the dmz. this video is not going to stay outside of north korea. someone is going to bring it in on a dvd, smuggled across the chinese border. maybe some other way. this could actually undermine the regime of kim jong un because it shows people actually defying the kim regime and getting rid

>> brian: his death was riddled with parasites, he was malnourished. almost everybody they've gotten, whether escaped or captured, their submarine had washed up than an autopsy. they are riddled with all these horrible diseases. how bad is the malnutrition d on the north side of the border? >> it's obviously worse than we thought it was. these soldiers in the groipght security area where this defector fled is the best soldiers of the best soldiers of the best because they have to be because of the political ramifications. it's going to reverberate throughout the entire north korean military. what it says is that thera drought, which is the worst since 2001s had s. having a bigger effects on agriculture than analysts thought. >> they talk about kids having horrible to go through animal feces in order to see if there is anything there they can eat. when they pull lies out of their hair, they squeeze the blood out and then eat the actual bugs. is there a chance instead of looking how to stop them on the outside is there a

chance they might collapse from the inside? what can we do to expeed expedients that? >> one thing we can do is to get information inside of north korea. kim family, kim sung who founded the regime created a cult and sealed it off from the rest of the world so people would actually believe, you know, the regime's doctrine. it's thoughts, its lies all of it together. once you pierce that then have you people leaving.g. that's why there have been defectors because they understanding what's going on outside the world that there is another korea, south korea, which is prosperous. >> brian: during war, we dropped flyers and pamphlets. we can't do that get shot out of sky. is there something else we can do? they have to know -- these people have to know they are in hell, don't they? >> south korean dissidents actually take balloons and float them over the dmz. they have money in them. they have dvd's and all sorts of things to tell the people in north korea thatav life is much better outside. that's the way you are going to destabilize the regime. we haven't done that for various reasons.

but clearly, if we are going to solve this problem peacefully, it's going to be without kim jong un and his regime. >> brian: the russians spoke out about the president's decision to put them back on a terror list. the list of terrorist nations and of course they never should have left. they said. this another scare mongering act and p.r. move.d. this can end with a big catastrophe of global scale. they are critical of the president for making that move. what's your reaction? >> i think it's a very good move. because, with the designation being back on the list of state sponsors of terrorism come sanctions. none of these sanctions are big in and of themselves. at this point every turn of t the screw can make a difference. we saw that because there isew additional sanctions that president trump put on north korea on tuesday. treasury departmentpr sanctions. one individual, 13 entities, 20 vessels. those vessels were carrying oil some of those vessels also carry weapons.se c that's prohibited by u.n. rules. we need to enforce those rules. if we do that we can cut off the flow of money to kim.

>> brian: do you a lot of research. you seem heartened that we finally might be able to solve this anemic problem tumor on the planet. do you feel this is all about to come to a head? >> i think it will come to a head in nine months because then president trump's campaign to cut off money is actually going to have more effect than it does now. also in nine months, brian, i think kim jong un is going to become confident in his arsenal that he will be able to hold us to ransom. you put those two things together it means next year is going to be consequential. >> brian: got to convince china that is unacceptable and russia as well hopefully the president did that with vladimir putin. thanks so much. >> thank you, brian. >> brian: 24 minutes before the top of the hour, know this. our europeans losing the will to live. tucker will be back after the break to discuss about the rise of euthanasia in europe.is i'm serious. take a wide shot.

>> brian: euthanasia still rare in the united states >> brian: euthanasia still rare in the united states but increasingly common in europe. tucker carlson recently sat down with attorney robert clark to discuss assist tia suicide and the heart of western civilization. >> tucker: mr. clark, thank you for joining us. you represent tom morde, explain to an american audience not as familiar with euthanasia as practiced in europe his experience with your euthanasia laws. >> absolutely. tom is a man who lives in belgium and he found out that his 64-year-old mother, who was physically healthy, she had no physical condition, he found out that she had been euthanized the day after it happened when the hospital phoned up his wife to ask them to come in and make the necessary arrangements. this isn't the day before it happened. it's not the day it happened but the day after he gets this phone call to ask him to come and make the necessary arrangements. >> tucker: and what was his response to this?

>> he, as you can imagine, like any son, was devastated. this is a man who hadn't really given a huge amount of thought to the euthanasia laws that are in forced in belgium before this happened. and his experience to all of this has turned him in to someone who is willing to stand up in the difficult environment that it iss in belgium and say something is very, very wrong here when we decide that instead of caring for our sick, instead of caring for the vulnerable people that we are in society we are going to offer death to them. >> tucker: how common is it in europe. >> it's getting very common. this is one of the frightening things. i know there are u.s. states considering. this i would encourage them to look at the experience in europe. we have a couple ofer countries. let's take belgium as an example, and whenever euthanasia has beenpl legalized, we have seen two things happen. so the first thing is we see the number of cases going up every single year. the cases started relativefully low in belgium. we have now reached the point where according to the official government

statistics, more than five people per day are euthanized in belgium. these stories that you hear, the arguments that you hear that say well this is an exceptional thing. this is a rare thing, it'spt not true. that is the first real problem that we see wherever people are euthanized the numbers go up. secondly the categories of people who can access euthanasia expand. people start to push on the edges. c those that originally said this is going to be reallyn really rare and start pushing out. so, again, let's go back to belgium and see what has actually happened. 2014, belgium extended its law to allow child euthanasia. there is no lower age limit in belgium. as long as the child, as long as they understand, whatever that means, what is happening to them, can choose to be euthanized.o most recently people in netherlands tired of life. no physical condition. no mental condition.

just people who are tired of life. and so this is what's really sinister here.an you see a law that peoples argue for as an exception but that is never what it becomes. you can see that wherever euthanasia legalized. particular tuck particularly sinister element is the much cheaper to kill people than treat them either for their diseases or depression. isn't there built-in incentive on the part of the state providing healthcare to do this because of the cost savings? >> well, absolutely. you and i both come from places that have an aging population. people are getting older. and very, very real concern is this so-called right-to-die that people talk about that doesn't exist in international law. this right-to-die. actually very quickly becomes a duty to die. so have you vulnerable people.be people that we should be caring for who are going to start to feel maybe an

implicit pressure, maybe just they feel they are a burden in terms of money or a burden in terms of time. but it may be as well, maybe people are told they are a burden. family members can't helpp them anymore or sustain them in their caringg requirements. yeah, there is a very, very real concern here that once you start to crack that door open that it leads to vulnerable people and feeling very, real pressure. >> tucker: have health insurers taking a position on this? have they admitted they are for it. >> the system of medicine is a little bit different in most european countries. >> tucker: yes.. >> certainly if you look for example in the u.k. at some of the groups involved in the discussion, the u.k. parliament very recently debated this issue. and overwhelmingly rejected a bill that would have legalized assisted suicide as they called it in the united kingdom. every major, for example, disability rights group was against that bill because

they recognized the burdens and the threat that that was going to place on some of their members, people who p are vulnerable people who are elderly and then take, for example the doctors in the world medical association have consistently s said that euthanasia is inherentlyer unethical. it's not something that should be promoted because governments have an obligation to protect life. not to promote or to assist in death. and, yet, that's exactly what we are seeing happening in these european countries. >> tucker: of course. and we'll see more of it as the cost goes up. thank you very much, robert, i appreciate that report. >> you're welcome. thank you for having me. >> brian: i'm so depressed now. everyone is killing themselves.: meanwhile, back in america, next, how will the trump economy impact this year's holiday shopping season? quite a few brawls on black friday. back in a moment.

if you have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or crohn's, and your symptoms have left you with the same view, it may be time for a different perspective. if other treatments haven't worked well enough, ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn's. entyvio works by focusing right in the gi-tract to help control damaging inflammation and is clinically proven to begin helping many patients achieve both symptom relief as well as remission. infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. entyvio may increase risk of infection, which can be serious. while not reported with entyvio, pml, a rare, serious brain infection caused by a virus may be possible. tell your doctor if you have an infection, experience frequent infections, or have flu-like symptoms, or sores. liver problems can occur with entyvio. if your uc or crohn's medication isn't working for you,

[shouting] >> brian: that is the christmas spirit, isn't it? not all stores look like that though. some places were really doing well. the economy is humming after all.

there was a lot of reasonable people out there shopping. some consumers and retailers were kind of happy with what they saw this holiday season as it officially kicks off. a retail analyst and joins us right now. are you a little embarrassed by the fighting? although it's not unusual. >> i saw this video. and i mean, i was sitting here. but when i was out last night and i have to tell you i have been up for almost 26 hours now. when i was out at wal-mart and a lot of the other stores, i didn't see anything like this. everyone was very calm. very orderly, there was very little store traffic. and many of the stores that i visited. so, i think that from what i saw, especially i mean, tri transport myself to thesp middle of the country or the west coast, but from the stores i saw on the eastern seaboard, people were very calm. >> brian: worst brawl seemed to be alabama. they say more than 6,000e stores have closed so far in 2017. most of any year on record. and 65,000 fewer retail jobs in america. when will this -- will this trend continue or is this as bad as it's going to get?

>> i think every year you see retailers shutting their doors. t this isn't a trend in retail that's uncommon. and you also see a lot of the season jobs going away. that's never a good thing. but what is going to happen is that you are going to see i a lot of these traditional bring and mortar on line. while have you the amazons, a lot of these bring and mortar stores are trying to compete with the juggernaut of amazon. so these traditional jobs that you saw in retail are now going to move online. >> brian: guess can hurt communities small and large because the taxes are not coming out. if i have a store down the block i'm paying taxes on that. if i'm in amazon somewhere on the west coast and i'm buying something in new york, new york is not getting those tax dollars, right? >> no you are not. now you are seeing amazon move to different cities and fulfillment centers, you are y going to have other jobs within those local fulfillment centers to be had. that community in ostensibly the idea is for it to be

preserved. >> brian: i know a lot of people are not happy with the prices either. wal-mart they are not with what they were being paid and strike in europe amazon because they are not happy with what they are being paid. wages have to go up to make these jobs likeable. >> definitely. did i speak to some wal-mart employees yesterday especially because they were working on thanksgiving. you want to know why are you there? a lot of them seem very happy to be there. in fact, they were getting paid -- they were saying and i didn't coerce them into saying. this they said they were being paid a fair wage. >> brian: gotcha. >> they were happy to be there. >> brian: back to wrap things up in just a moment.
