tv Tucker Carlson Tonight FOX News April 23, 2018 5:00pm-6:00pm PDT
5:00 pm
tomorrow night but he abruptly cancelled. these our true story on that. tucker is next. >> tucker: we start with a fox news alert. a rented van plows into a crowd in toronto, canada killing nine people, injuring more than a dozen. a suspect has been captured by plus. good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." dan bongino and mark steyn with us in just a moment. but first, jeff herron. jeff? >> the suspect has been identified. he's from richmond hill, ontario, north of toronto. his linkedin account said he's a student at a college here in toronto. let's talk about the confrontation with police, when police caught up to the alleged
5:01 pm
suspect. it appeared that he may have had a gun pointed at police or cell phone, the other report going around. of course it will take some time to get that confirmation. he was even shouting things like shoot me, kill me. that will now be part of the investigation as to whether there may have been mental health issues at play here. the canadian government said that the 28-year-old is not associated with any terrorist group as such. there's no national threat here tonight in toronto and canada, tucker. >> tucker: jeff, thanks. dan bongino is a former secret service agent. you heard that, the government said there's no obvious connection to a jihadi group and no national threat. how do you assess that? >> you never know, tucker.
5:02 pm
you don't know how many of these statements are political and how many are based on investigative leads. it's sad that we have to think like that. when it comes to incidents like this, there's a reluctance -- i understand. i get it. maybe you don't want people to be afraid. but we shouldn't be letting politics get in the way here. if it's a mental health issue, it's tragic either way. these not connected to a larger terror group, that's fine. i don't think being cryptic about it really helps. >> tucker: right. why would that make us less afraid? there seems to be a theme here. every big city in america on the coast is packed with people with mental illness, diagnosed or undiagnosed living on the stream. they're not attacking anybody and an acknowledgement of reality. this is increasing. why isn't it a crisis? >> we should be.
5:03 pm
the intent here is clearly this. let's separated intent and motive. motive is in the air. maybe mental health, maybe terrorism. we don't know. the intent is there. two things jump out from the available reporting. number 1, one of the witnesses at the scene said he hit "every single thing." now obviously if your contact points are people on the curb and you manage to hit about every single one of them, clearly there's some evidence of intent there. secondly, there's no evidence of any screeching brakes, any effort to slow down whatsoever. so clearly -- we know there was an intent to harm. you're right, this is a big deal. we have seen an uptick in the use of vehicles to kill people in these horrible attacks. again, being critic in law enforcement arena i don't think helps in this new social media era. >> so i mean, attacks using
5:04 pm
vehicles have been increasing in frequency around the world. i wonder if there comes a point that even the people in charge of our country admit that limiting access to the weapon, in this case, a vehicle, isn't a rationale response. why are people doing these things? you think it will spur the conversation finally? >> well, tucker, i hope so. we have focused way too long on a kind of a fireman approach. in other words, putting out these fires afterwards with ridiculous measures that law-abiding people don't care about. it's not a gun control -- i totally understand that. we've seen it in the gun control arena as well. you have to focus on more of an arsonists approach. we should be starting investigatory fires here. we should be generating better surveillance capabilities on some of these people. we should develop a better warning system for mental health problems.
5:05 pm
instead, you see these kind of, you know, after-the-fact approaches. they're absurd. >> yeah. dan, thank you. great to see you. thank you. >> tucker: there's a lot to assess. we don't know the motive but we don't need to draw larger conclusions. some ominous. people didn't used to drive vehicles into crowds. they didn't used to shoot up schools either. easy availability of weapons didn't cause what happened today or what has happened for years. that's not the point. the point is that more people want to hurt strangers than ever before for some reason. the bonds that hold society together are obviously framed. why is that? you think our leaders would be thinking hard about this question instead of coming up with a solution since that's their job.
5:06 pm
instead, they're obsessing over trivi trivia. they're creating diversions. at the same time, they're seizing moments like this to strip the rest of us of rights. okay. you're not longer allowed to defend yourself in your own home. isis recruiting on the internet? great. instead of fighting extremism, which is in abundance, the left uses the existence of extremism to shut down legitimate dissent in self-defense. in other words, the crimes of a few all of us suffer. meanwhile, the people in charge become more powerful. that's the scariest part and maybe the whole point. author mark steyn joins us to break down what is going on. at some point do you think the conversation becomes why would someone want to kill strangers? why are an increasing number of people wanting to kill strangers? why are we having that
5:07 pm
conversation? >> because i think the people that are not -- not only canada but the entire western world don't wanted to admit that theyo longer have control of the situation. this part of toronto, which happens to be my hometown, i was here a couple weeks ago for a bar mitzvah, all the streets have english names. the school is named after field marshall lord hague that commanded british forces. they have streets called princess and empress. there's one named after lord bing. you can't find anybody with names like that in that neighborhood now. it's largely chinese, korean. there's some iranians, moroccan, jews. in this case, something with an armenian name. if you look at society as like one big stamp collection and it's nice to have one of
5:08 pm
everything, then the modern western city is a great place. but in these multicultural hot pots, grievances develop regardless of whether it's a global phenomenon like jihad or just peculiar mental health issues. then you have a situation where the jihad guys have got a lot of mileage out of taking trucks, driving them up on the sidewalks, killing large numbers of people. you can't reasonably expect that just to be confined to muslim jihadists. sooner or later some guy like this with an armenian name and armenians are 99.9% christian. last time i was there, there were 600 muslims in the whole joint. but you can't expect -- when people see a car can kill large numbers of people, you can't expect people to say oh, yeah, that's just a muslim weapon.
5:09 pm
that's for the jihad. so eventually other people start renting cars and driving them up on sidewalks. >> tucker: if you were running a society, wouldn't -- an benefitting from it disproportionately as our leaders do, wouldn't you spend time thinking about holding it together? what makes a society that will wage a war on its own behalf with a foreign adversary? why wouldn't you think about that? nobody thinks about it at all. >> no. they think in hop it is terms. in canada particularly last year, for the dominion of canada is 150th birthday, justin trudeau celebrated it by awarding $10 million to a jihadist he had had spring from gitmo who killed an american over in afghanistan. in other words, multiculturalism lets you decide which side of the wall you want to be on,
5:10 pm
whether you wants to be on the home team or the away team. that's how good multiculturalism is. you talked about how they use these incidents to take away our rights. >> tucker: yes. >> in some sense, tucker, it's more basic than that even. i mean, setting the rights to one side, i notice now when you're in london, when you're in berlin, when you're in brussels, when you're in paris, now presumably when you're in toronto, they're trying to put ballards over every strip of raised pavements so cars can't get on the sidewalk to kill people. so the price we pay in effect for not having bollards around the national border is we now have an ugly up all of our cities and have ballards around everything in site. on the new york bike path, for example. everywhere you go around any western city, they're looking uglier and uglier because our
5:11 pm
leaders have in a sense established ugliness as the organizing principle of the multiculturalism in the 21st century. >> that's right. that's what happens when you put security consultants rather than leaders think about who it means to have a happy cohesive society. >> i'd like us to soften the target. that thinks about a bigger picture sense. not just bollards and everything in sight. >> tucker: thanks, mark. that was deep and interesting. mark will be back to react to kanye west's endorsement of scott adams. huh! one of those interesting developments in the news that nobody could have predicted. a college professor in nebraska using her free time to harass the children of an nra employee. why should you and me and every other taxpayer be forced to fund
5:12 pm
her lifestyle? that story and many other questions next. allergies with sinus congestion and pressure? you won't find relief here. go to the pharmacy counter for powerful claritin-d. while the leading allergy spray relieves 6 symptoms... claritin-d relieves 8, including sinus congestion and pressure. claritin-d relieves more. hello. give me an hour in tanning room 3. cheers! that's confident. but it's not kayak confident. kayak searches hundreds of travel sites to help me plan the best trip. so i'm more than confident. forgot me goggles. kayak. search one and done. you agreed to never give up. to ask, what else can i do? you agreed to remember the good people who rise with every challenge, to remember their strength. to serve,
5:13 pm
5:14 pm
5:15 pm
>> tucker: a fox news alert. president trump and french president macron have just departed from mount vernon in virginia. they had dinner together. tomorrow, the president will have a press conference and state dinner. we'll follow all of the events of the french president's state visit to washington. america's public colleges receive hundreds of billions in government funding.
5:16 pm
what is that money being used for? in many cases it's being used to employ radicals whose main job is attacking this country and the rights of normal people that live here. at the university of nebraska, an english professor called amanda galey talk time off to stalk and nra employee. she staged a protest outside his house. he said showed up at cox's business to demand a boycott on the street outside. we reached out to the university of nebraska. they gave a cowardly and meaningless response saying we don't know anything about that, we don't care, it's not our business. jason nichols is a professor and joins us. professor, is this okay? is it okay to decide that because you disagree with someone that you can show up at his house and scream at his wife and kids? >> is it okay to stage a
5:17 pm
protest? absolutely. >> tucker: at someone's home. >> obviously she was not there for any kind of conflict. he's a member of an nra. i'm assuming his armed -- >> tucker: i'm not about being armed. >> okay. >> tucker: i hope we're not suggesting it's going to get to gun play. i'm having a philosophical question. we disagree. >> okay. >> tucker: would it be okay for me to give out your address for people to show up with their kids and disagree with you? >> the answer -- >> tucker: the answer is no. >> you putting my address out over the wave but if you wanted to come out with a sign and look like a jackass, that would be up to you. >> tucker: how do you think your family would feel about that? >> i don't have many of the details on this. >> tucker: i do. >> i don't know how far of a
5:18 pm
distance she was away. >> tucker: outside the house, old town alexandria. >> she was not on the door step. i know that. he could call the police. >> tucker: the principle here -- i want to make sure that i'm hearing this right. you're defending the idea -- we're not talking about rights. you have a right to scream at nuns and give the finger to elderly women. you can do that. the question is should you? is it right? do decent people do that? i think it cross as clear line into indefensible behavior. >> so tucker, if you're asking me am i going to show up at some right wing politician's house and stand outside with a sign saying baby murderer, no, i'm not going to do that. what i'm talking about is her first amendment right -- >> tucker: no. but you're forgetting the left doesn't believe in the first amendment anymore. that's why you demonize --
5:19 pm
>> that's absurd. >> tucker: really? look at the polling. the majority of college students believe the first amendment is not absolute. they don't believe it. the polling shows it. >> i disagree with that. the people i know are 100% open to people's rights of protest -- >> tucker: again, that's not the question. by the way, there was someone arrested for vandalizing the house. it wasn't -- >> and that person deserved to be arrests. >> tucker: right. is this the new precedent? we've gotten to the point the left has said politics are personal. why wouldn't you scream at someone at a restaurant or yell at somebody's kids? >> screaming at somebody at a restaurant, that is not legal. it's not a legal protest. >> tucker: it is. >> no, it's harassment. it's different. if you're across the street with a sign and you're staging a month test -- >> tucker: why not -- >> i've seen protests -- >> tucker: i've seen a --
5:20 pm
>> of planned parenthood. >> i'm not against that. >> i know you're not. >> tucker: but if you showed up at somebody's house with his kids home, it's a threat. you know where the nra headquarters is. it's a massive building. go there whenever you want. to find someone's house -- >> i can say that i agree with you that that is not the way that i would stage a protest. i believe that they should have gone to the place of business. however -- >> tucker: why should we subsidize this crap? why should taxpayers -- >> they're not subsidizing her protest. >> tucker: of course they do. she gets paid $70,000 a year. she works very little. compare her average hours worked -- >> we're not subsidizing her protest -- >> tucker: how about this. if this college professor from
5:21 pm
the university of nebraska whom, again, the college in a very cowardly way refused to comment on, but if she were out staging a protest in favor of the confederate flag and she were going up to the home of a black lives matter member and waving the flag and screaming, would you say, that's just freedom of expression and the college should not get involved -- >> again, as long as it wasn't a threat. you know, is she -- >> tucker: can you sincerely is a that? if milo -- >> that would be a problem. >> tucker: because you don't agree with that. >> no, not because i don't agree with them. >> tucker: that would be a problem. >> because he doesn't have the qualifications that it takes to teach -- >> tucker: oh, the qualifications. >> tucker, if you want to -- >> tucker: have you been to college recently? >> yes. >> tucker: no offense. >> if you want to teach at the university of maryland, i'll help get you that position. >> tucker: i'm not qualified as you know. >> i believe you are.
5:22 pm
you can teach journalism in a second. >> tucker: and if milo got the qualifications, like a parchment or whatever and got a job at a college and was leading his protests, you'd be cool with that? >> if he was leading his protests from the -- >> tucker: yeah, like on college campuses, spare team -- >> one of the things we found that studies show is that -- there's a study of 7,000 college students. it showed that the views of the professor have no effect on -- >> tucker: you're not affirming -- i want to note for the record, you're not affirming milos's right to work -- >> tucker carlson wants to come to the university of maryland,ly absolutely support that. you have the right -- >> tucker: what an interesting conversation. thanks, professor. >> always fun. thank you.
5:23 pm
>> tucker: almost two years of searching has produced no evidence of collusion with russia during the 2016 campaign, but the dnc has filed a lawsuit over it nonetheless. we'll explain why they did that coming up. ♪ hey grandpa. hey, kid. really good to see you. you too. you tell grandma you were going fishing again? maybe. (vo) the best things in life keep going. that's why i got a subaru, too. love is out there. find it in a subaru crosstrek.
5:24 pm
5:25 pm
5:27 pm
this was the smoking gun of russian collusion that you heard about for months and months on cable news. that one meeting was going to bring down the administration. if you conducted an investigation into russian influence in the 2016 election, she would be one of the very first people that you would talk to obviously. so how is this for weird? in a recent interview with the associated press, the same woman says that she was never even contacted by special counsel robert mueller. she's done no interviews with any federal investigators. that's what she says. huh? how can that be? if it's true, it's shocking. it's only shocking if you still think this investigation is actually about russian collusion. if it is, ignoring her makes sense. but it's not about collusion or russia and never was. it was an attempt to undo election results from day one. now it's too obvious to ignore. joel payne is former director of
5:28 pm
african american advertising. thanks for being here. >> good to be with you. >> tucker: there's a lot we don't know. so i'm taking this russian attorney at her word that she wasn't contacted by investigators. if that's true, stipulating if it's true, there's no other explanation other than mueller isn't really after more than 1 1/2 years looking into russian collusion. how could you skip her? >> if we're going to take this lawyer at her word and what bob mueller has done and that he's been responsible with the investigation and probably a reason she's not been contacted yet. the investigation is not done. if she has somebody that they determine is material to the case, they will talk to her. >> she is the case at least as it's been understood publicly. a ton of leaks. so we know a lot. she met -- >> do we like leaks today? >> tucker: i'm a journalist.
5:29 pm
i like leaks. but they discredit investigations. investigations are not supposed to be leaked by law enforcement. i always want to know though. here's the point. ignoring her isn't possible if what you're trying to discover is whether or not the russians played a role in the outcome of the 2016 election. we know for certain this investigation, whatever it is, isn't really about that. we were lied to. it's about something else. so shouldn't we be -- shouldn't we pause and say wait a second. what is this? >> tucker, i have to disagree with you. even the parts that don't have anything to do with collusion, mueller has referred to the pertinent jurisdictions. bob mueller is a man of high regard. he's been lauded by democrats and republicans -- >> tucker: i don't care about that. >> you don't care -- >> tucker: i'm an american. >> it shows that he has managed the case the way he should. let's lose sight -- >> tucker: i'm not attacking mueller. let's be clear.
5:30 pm
i'm not attacking mueller. i never will unless there's cause to do it. i'm concerned that the rest of us are sold on whether russia hacked our election or democracy. the other channels went wall for wall over a year. we went to war with russia as a result. we kind hundreds of syrians. now it's looking like it's not in play. why should we feel lied to? >> three members of the president's campaign team acknowledged that they had a role in wrong doing -- >> tucker: for colluding with russia? >> we don't know exactly -- >> tucker: we do. i've read the indictments. >> we don't know what the full scope -- >> tucker: i've read the indictments of those three members. whatever. papadopoulos -- >> paul manafort ran the campaign. >> tucker: papadopoulos, whatever. but here's the point.
5:31 pm
none of them pled to anything having to do with russian collusion. if it does come to that, we discovered that nobody is charged with colluding with charge and there's no evidence. won't you have cause to feel lied to? >> no, i personally don't. i know what you wanted to talk about is the dnc lawsuit. >> tucker: yeah. >> the dnc is trying to push the public dialogue to make sure that we don't have a situation like this happen again. we had a foreign government try to compromise the result of our election. we can never allow that to happen. regardless of who you voted for should care about that. >> tucker: then why does the dnc push electronic voting? the only way to security your vote in a fool proof way is with paper ballots. the dnc pushes against that. they don't care at all about foreign interference. this has nothing to do with that. if they cared, they would be for paper ballots.
5:32 pm
they're not. >> tucker, a disagree with that. >> tucker: they do. >> that's not the issue. >> tucker: what do you mean? >> you're talking about apples around oranges here. >> tucker: you're saying i should be concerned about foreign governments hacking. the only way they do that is electronically. we don't we have paper ballots? that's the way to product yourself. >> if i get mugged on my walk home, i'm not blaming there's a light out two blocks away. i'm blaming because somebody mugged me and i want to get to the bottom of it. >> tucker: maybe you should stop taping hundred dollar bills to your fest. that increases the risk. >> we'll agree to disagree. last question. the dnc is taking a position that it ought to be illegal to public accurate information if that information has ben taken from an e-mail account. that would have prevented the pentagon tapers, private information published publicly
5:33 pm
but it was accurate. why would the dnc be attacking the freedom of the press? >> you know the dnc is not attacking the freedom of the press. they're trying to do what the president has not decided to do. get to the bottom -- >> tucker: they're taking the position -- >> any other take on that is deflection and ignoring the issue. >> tucker: the dnc says it's illegal to publish these e-mails. that's what they're saying -- >> you're saying in the absence of presidential leadership, we're going to push the issue through another way -- >> tucker: and should it be -- >> they have done this before. they did it against nixon. they have sued to learn information about what happened in presidential campaigns before. >> tucker: should it have been illegal as the dnc suggested for news -- >> that's not what they're suggesting. we disagree on what we read. >> tucker: i'm taking them at face value. maybe metaphorically they're not saying that. literally they are. >> you know good and well the dnc does not disagree with freedom of the press. take a look at who is sitting in
5:34 pm
1600 avenue and talk about the freedom of the press. >> tucker: thank you. >> always. >> tucker: and we'll weigh-in on a prosecution of fired deputy director andrew mccabe coming up next. for all the eyes that get itchy and watery near pollen. there's flonase sensimist. it relieves all your worst symptoms including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. and all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. flonase sensimist.

left untreated it can lead to liver damage, even liver cancer. the only way to know if you have hep c is to ask your healthcare provider for the simple blood test. if you have hep c, it can be cured. for us, it's time to get tested. it's the only way to know for sure. >> tucker: millions of dollars have been spent, taxpayer dollars. our attention has been focused on not of actual matters of stated of significant but on the collusion story that swung the 2016 election. now we found out the person at the center of this, the rush lawyer, has never been interviewed. how can that be? what does that tell us about the nature of the investigation? we have a u.s. attorney here from the direct of columbia.
5:39 pm
i don't have any esoteric information. she dosays she's not been interviewed. what do that tell us? >> that the investigation has been a fraud. has nothing to do with collusion. mr. comey knew that from the beginning. he knew there was no basis for any of the fisa warrants. there were no foreign agents involved in the case from the beginning and that's why he refused to brief the gang of eight on capitol hill about the existence of the russian probe and the dossier for months and months. he knew if he briefed them, he would have to answer specific questions about the basis for the investigation, and no basis existed. >> tucker: just as a procedural matter, can the fbi director say no to congress when they say come tell us about something, can he say no? >> he kept it from them. they didn't know the russian probe, the counter intelligence probe existed. he kept it from them.
5:40 pm
if they had asked them, he clearly would have lied about it because he's lied about it ever since the opportunity arose. he unfortunately was confronted by the existence of the investigation and the failure to disclose it by a congresswoman during the investigation when the whole thing blew up. >> tucker: it's unbelievable. i would think both parties -- democrats think they take control of the government and they may. they have an interest in having an fbi that we can trust and we can all trust. so why is nobody on the left calling for charges to be filed against the former deputy director of the fbi who according to the i.g. lied? isn't that perjury? wouldn't that warrant a prosecution? >> there's no doubt that mccabe will be prosecuted. whether or not remains will be seen. it's impossible not to. now that they chargele michael flynn with lying and george papadopoulos and all of these little people that have done nothing wrong. there's no way you can't charge
5:41 pm
andrew mccabe. remember, he's a senior government official, senior law enforcement official. lied under oath three times. no way he can't be charged with lying. >> tucker: this is something that we can be certain when the i.g. of the fbi issues its report that we can trust that, right? >> absolutely. i don't think there's any doubt that mr. horowitz has done a credible job. no reason to doubt him. in addition, the internal watch dogs of the fbi themselves, their own office of professional responsibility, their ethics watch dogs, said that he lied to them. >> so if you have a senior law enforcement official that lied under oath, repeatedly about a criminal matter, why would he be defended by liberals? where are the civil libertarians on the left? >> because the liberals are not liberals. they're progressives. they created the horrible movements in the 20s and 30s. those people no longer think. they're reacting. they're against the president. they hate him. there's no more principles.
5:42 pm
they believe everything should be sacrificed for the thrill of having power and doing whatever you want to do to shove down the american people's throat. they have abandoned all pretense in believing in free speech, accountability and believe it or not, they have become proponents of the fbi being an organization that lies to the american people. >> tucker: they sent hundreds of thousands to a senior law enforcement official that was fired for lying under oath and the left is supporting it. >> they are supporting it because they hate this president so much that they are willing to sacrifice the constitution and any core beliefs that you have as a real liberal. >> tucker: unbelievable. it's distorting a lot of people. thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: and milo was chased out of a bar over the weekend. we'll find out what that was like. stay tuned.

this was the venue that the socialists choose meet at? a restaurant named churchill's? >> and you notice the nationalic flags hanging around. they must have come for the craft beer is what i concluded. surely we thought this place would be safe. we made reservations. we just wanted a simple sunday roast. we were looking forward to this. he's british. probably hasn't had a good roast in a long time. we encountered of all the gin joints in the world, we had to walk in where the socialists were meeting. >> tucker: so they started screaming at you and what happened? >> we stepped outside for a moment. on the way back in, they were shouting. they would not let us go back to our table. we figured -- we were going to get our bags and leave out of respect for the staff and the other customers. other customers were scared and running out with their children. so when we tried to go back to
5:50 pm
our table, they gathered around him and wouldn't let us do back. a very large -- i think a woman, looked like a woman, shoved milo. that's when we realized this was going to get violent. it was the two of us. we asked the staff if they would retrieve our bags. they did very politely and milo just said i was a very big trump supporter and that's what this is about. the waitress was very confused and said okay. clearly the staff or the patrons didn't know what was going on or understood this reaction. we were try guys trying to have a roast. >> tucker: did you know that that the meeting was in progress when you chose this restaurant? >> no. i didn't know they knew where park avenue was. their parents do. but we made reservations several days in advance. we just wanted a english roast. this place had come very highly
5:51 pm
recommended. that was the end of it. i see on twitter -- because the optics of this are so terrible and they know how awful they look, on twitter they said we planned this. certified salon reporters, but check marks said milo brought his husband out that everybody knows milo is married to a black guy. i don't know if i'm a sean king or what. but so they keep trying to say we did this on purpose. >> tucker: so this is brendan o'connor. he worked at gizmoto. there he is. he's obviously acting on behalf of the global prolotariate. this is the kid that was on behalf of the socialists. we checked, needless to say from one of the richest suburbs of new jersey, went to a $50,000 a year boarding school. was he the one screaming at you?
5:52 pm
>> yeah. he marched outside and asked milo about 8-month-old news stories. milo was very polite and he said i'm here with my friend. if you want to interview me, send an e-mail to me and we'll set something up. he wouldn't drop it. he didn't know what he was talking about. he was nervous and fumbling. he had no idea what to ask milo. finally milo said leave me alone. i'm here with my friend. get your facts straight. i'll give you a proper interview. then we have of course this nation editor that admitted on twitter she runs the nation's twitter handle. she -- >> tucker: another worker. >> another worker. it's important to know, i don't have to tell you this, but they were all white. all of them. so she's been going on a storm on twitter standing up for the working class and the people and all of those precious black people --
5:53 pm
>> tucker: there was a time when socialists cared about economics and had a case to make. i didn't agree with it. but they had a reasoned thought-out case that was fundamental. rich kids like this got involved and it bake all about race and gender like everything is. thanks for joining us tonight, chadwick. we invited this brendan o'connor kid on and we hope he will come on from gizmoto. hopefully tomorrow night and explain what he was doing at churchill's. scene of the revolution. up next, rapper kanye west has come out as a fan of scott adams because the world is not weird enough and the left of course is mad about this. we'll explain what happened and why with mark steyn.

so lionel, what does being able to trade 24/5 mean to you? well, it means i can trade after the market closes. it's true. so all... evening long. ooh, so close. yes, but also all... night through its entirety. come on, all... the time from sunset to sunrise. right. but you can trade... from, from... from darkness to light. ♪ you're not gonna say it are you? i accept i don't i even accept i i used thave a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but no matter where i ride, i go for my best. so if there's something better than warfarin, i'll go for that too. eliquis.
5:55 pm
eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus had less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i'm still going for my best. and for eliquis. ask your doctor about eliquis.

striking in bold new territory. he tweeted an endorsement of candace owens. in response, dilbert creator scott adams created a video declaring that kanye showed the way to the golden age. "new ideas will no longer be condemned by the masses. we are on the frontier of massive change." mark steyn hosted the show last week when i was gonna did a fantastic job. he joins us tonight. what do you make of this? >> i think one of the privileges of mega-celebrity like kanye west is that you should allowed to be wacky. celebrities. elton john was sitting on a balcony in rome and the wind was march and he called up the hotel manager and asked him to turn the wind down. the manager explained politely
5:59 pm
he didn't have the power to turn the winds down. you're supposed to be able to do that. you can be as wacky as you want except if you were to tweet out i got a bit bored with msnbc the other night so i tuned over to tucker carlson for a couple minutes. he was quite amusing in small doses. the left would go bananas. you can be as wacky as you want except for the ideological straitjacket they demand you stand. kanye west is simply getting itchy. he calls it mental slavery, and he's right about that. there's no point being the wealthiest person, most successful celebrity, a household name, on magazine covers if you can't issue a seven word tweet without people demanding that you withdraw it and denounce the person you are tweeting about.
6:00 pm
he is sick of it, and the wonder is only that more celebrities don't get that sick of it as quickly as he has. >> tucker: the fully emancipated mark steyn. thank you. that's it for us. we will be back tomorrow. >> sean: welcome back. we missed you. welcome to hannity. we have huge developments to bring you surrounding the fbi's investigation into so-called trump-russian collusion. according to devin nunes. no actual intelligence was ever utilized to start the russia probe. none. that's right. it's day 341 of mueller's investigation and question still surrounding why the fbi's initial inquiry into the trump campaign was kicked off in the first place. incredible development. so much for fair, open, transparent justice. also tonight, james comey is on the second week of his book tour and he finds himself in
