they tell him. they don't say will you. they say joe, this is the way you're going to vote. mike braun will be a great, great representative. >> good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson." the president is speaking in indiana. we're going to listen in. >> mike braun will vote for the values that bind us as americans. we support law and order and support the heros in law enforcement. they're great. [cheers & applause] they're great. and they will tell you, surplus military equipment, right? we have it by the hundreds of millions of dollars. sitting in warehouses getting old. some of the best stuff anywhere in the world.

past administrations said no, we can't give that to law enforcement. some day somebody is going to explain why, but i sort of get it. but it's not a good reason. it's about a 1% reason. we have a 99%. that equipment is being transferred all over the united states to our police and our law enforcement professionals. we already have it. the other side said but it's too good, it's too good. it's already paid for. we defend the second amendment. don't kid yourself. it is under siege. we defend the right to self-defense. never believe that your second

amendment is not under siege. we believe that a strong nation must have strong borders. we have pride in our history and respect for our great american flag. [cheers & applause] [chanting]. and we put our large beautiful hands on our hearts for the pledge of allegiance. right? [cheers & applause] and we proudly stand, all the

time we stand because we love that sound. we stands for our national anthem at all times. [cheers & applause] but if we're going to defend our values, we need people in washington that share our values. democrats like sleepin' joe say one thing when they're in elkhart and then they go to washington and vote for the radical liberal agenda. it never ever fails. [booing]. you know, there's about 12 of them. you think you have their vote and they talk a good game. but they always raise their hand for the radical left of nancy pelosi.

always. the center for effective law making named joe donnelly the least effective democrat lawmaker in the united states senate. i don't know, mike. but i think that will be a very good phrase to run by. he's never sponsored a bill that has become a law. this november indiana will face an important choice. you can send a really incredible swamp person back to the senate like joe donnelly, or you can send us republicans like mike braun to drain the swamp. [cheers & applause]

[chanting]. under my administration, we're fighting against the lobbyists, the special interests and the corrupt washington politics. after years of rebuilding foreign countries of which a lot of people partake in the cost of rebuilding those foreign countries, we are finally rebuilding our country. we fight to build their borders, but we don't fight and spend no money to build our borders. figure that one out. we're fighting, and we're

finally putting america first. remember the last time i did this. this started 2 1/2 years ago when i just started. people were not saying "merry christmas" anymore. the big store chains weren't saying merry christmas, merry christmas. they weren't saying merry christmas. now they're saying merry christmas again. [cheers & applause] to bring back our jobs, we're cracking down on unfair trade. we want trade deals that are fair. and by the way, reciprocal.

we love our farmers. we're taking care of our farmers. we love our factory workers. we love our workers. for decades, american presidents responded to foreign cheating on trade. cheating! there's no other word for it, cheating. they responded with silence. they didn't do anything. they were silenced. silencio. let's not rock the boat. that's fine. we have $100 billion trade deficit with mexico. think of it. $100 billion trade deficit a year with mexico. we have a trade deficit with almost every country in the world. we're changing that around

rapidly. [cheers & applause] we racked up trillions in trade deficits also known as losses while other countries stole our factories, stole our plants, stole our wealth and stole our jobs. but america's long silence is over. you can see what is happening. car companies are coming back into the united states. they're moving back in. chrysler just announced. japan is building big ones. we're expanding our plants. and i put tariffs on steel and i put tariffs on aluminum. and united states steel just announced that they're expanding their factories and they're building plants and we're going to start making steel and

aluminum again. [cheers & applause] america is respected again. different ball game. under my administration we kept another important promise when we put a great new justice on the united states supreme court. neil gorsuch. and next week, after the promises of many administrations and presidents and then they never did it, they campaigned, they promised, they never did it. next week we will finally open the american embassy in jerusalem.

[cheers & applause] i put one of my friends as the ambassador to israel. david friedman. a good choice is right. one of the great lawyers of our country. made a lot of money as a lawyer. but he loves his job. he loves the united states. he loves israel. they walked up to my desk about three months ago right after i did it. because i said, let's go. we want to go. we want to build. we want to build fast. so they walk up to my desk and they give me this beautiful folder and i'm supposed to sign it. i said what is this? i'm half signed. he said, sir, we're building an embassy in jerusalem, sir.

i said how much? something other presidents don't ask. that's okay. they said, i kid you not, they said sir, $1 billion. i said a billion? you know what a billion dollars is? you have a beautiful house that cost you about $50,000, right? to build. hopefully it's worth more than that. but that's what it cost. so i said a billion dollars? yes, sir. we're looking for a site now. we're going to spend a lot of money on a site. everyone is going to get rich on the embassy. so i called -- i stopped signing, by the way. i had "donald" and then it was like dead. and then i don't know if they still have it, beautiful paper, official looking, and then all of a sudden i stopped. never got to the t.

i started putting xs because i was afraid somebody could say it's my signature. i call up our ambassador. i said, david, this is crazy. i said we're going to build our embassy in jerusalem. they want a billion dollars. they're going to look for sites. don't we have a site? he said yeah, we have the best site. we already own it. we have a building on the site. i could take that building that is on the site, mr. president and i can take the corner of that building, a big beautiful corner and for $150,000 i can fix it. it will be so beautiful, the location is better. it is setback, which is good for safety. and i can build it for $150,000. think of it. think of it. [cheers & applause]

i said, david, so you're going to renovate the colder of a building? he said it's going to be beautiful. the site is the best site. and we own it. the building is already built. we can fix it. so think of it. we have government wanting to build a billion dollars in a site that would never be as good or safe. this is a big site, big setback. they want setbacks for safety. make sense. i said david, you can go that from a billion to 150? i said you know what? spend 200,000 or $300,000. that's okay. think of it. the reason was very cognizant, because i was supposed to cut the ribbon of the new embassy in london. so we have the best piece of property in all of london. it's our embassy. and someone between the bush

administration and the obama administration, they say bush started it, but obama could have stopped it. they said wow, this is a great piece of property. we've been offered like a lot of money, 250 million. what we're going to do, we're going to sell this best piece of property in london by far. by the way, literally it's the -- if you know new york, fifth avenue and 57th street. i happen to have a building there. but that is the best one. the tiffany location. the tiffany location. the best location and it's a big location. it's the best embassy in the whole portfolio. somebody said what a great deal. we're going to sell that for i think 250. so let's say -- to a wealthy

person. they're going to rip it down, build a hotel or do something. and we sold this thing for 250. now, everybody in this room, because you're from indiana, you understand life. you would say, okay. good. now you're going to build a new one for $50 million you'll have 200 million leftover. have a nice embassy. didn't work that way. so they sold the embassy for like around 250 million. they then went out and bought a terrible piece of land in a lousy location. they just opened a new embassy in a bad location for $1.2 billion. what a great deal. what a great deal. [booing]. so three months ago, i was supposed to go over to cut the ribbon on the new embassy. i couldn't do it. i said i'm not doing. i won't do it. does that make sense?

i'm not going to do. i didn't. [applause] isn't this a sad story? i can give you 50 of them. it's all the same. i can give you so many. but just remember, when you see that embassy -- here's the other thing with the embassy. i said the new embassy. when is it going to be open? they said anywhere from five to ten years. so i said unless they gave me an extension for the presidency -- [cheers & applause] which i don't think the fake news media would be too happy about. [booing]. wait, wait, wait. actually they would be happy. because when i'm not here, they're ratings are going to

sink. so they'll probably be very happy. so they said from five to ten years. you know when they say from five to ten years, that probably means 15 to 20, right? so we open the embassy next week, three months. three months. three months. [cheers & applause] i can tell you so many of those stories, but i won't. i won't tell you anymore. we have to safe some. we only have about 1,000 left. among the many grave national security blunders of the previous administration, one of the world's worst was the disastrous iran nuclear deal. a deal that would allow iran to go right to the brink of nuclear weapons and ultimately very

quickly have a nuclear weapon. by the way, other countries in the middle east that do have money all of a sudden would be looking all over the place for nuclear weapons. that was going to force a disaster. the deal game the regime billions of dollars. how about this? $150 billion. and 1.8 billion in green. $1.8 billion in cash. which would be used to spread bedlam and death and destruction all over the middle east. they're all over the middle east. with all of that being said, who knows, because we're putting the harshest, strongest, more stringent sanctions on iran. [cheers & applause]

and i hope to be able to make a deal with them. a good deal. a fair deal. a good deal for them. better for them. better for them. but we cannot allow them to have nuclear weapons. we must be able to go to a site and check that site. we have to be able to go into their military bases to see whether or not they're cheating. now, of course, we're all sure they're not cheating, but just in case. the iran deal is one of the most embarrassing agreements the united states has ever entered into. you remember the ten sailors that were humiliated in front of the world for no reason whatsoever. but once again, democrat joe donnelly serves his liberal

handlers in washington, not the great people of indiana that i know so well. he voted to save the deal four times. but we save the deal no longer. [cheers & applause] as we discussed another critical element of our national security, to me probably one of the reasons we're all here in this great victory celebration, is border security. we have many things to do but we have already begun the construction of the wall and so many other things are following. we'll have those borders extremely strong, extremely

powerful and we'll have laws that match the border. [applause] so if you think about it, the democrats, they're weak on borders, weak on our military. in the last deal, i had to do it. our military was depleted. when did we need military more than we need great military right now? we have $700 billion to rebuild our military. it will be stronger than ever before. [cheers & applause] so the democrats, they fight against the borders. they fight to raise your taxes. they want to raise your taxes. they fight for all of the things

that we don't stand for. we're going to have a great victory in 18. you watch. we're going to have a great victory. history shows that when you win the presidency, two years later, the party for whatever reason, like 90% of the time, the party that wins the presidency loses on the mid-terms. the reason is, i guess they get a little bit complacent. we're not getting complacent, folks, we can't. if we elect more republicans, we can truly deliver for all of our citizens. we're going to keep the promises anyway, whether we do or whether we don't. i'm going to keep that.

we have delivered and was said by one of these gentlemen, we have delivered one of the only times ever more than we promised. i delivered more than i promised if you think about it. we will lift millions of americans from welfare to work, from dependence to independence and from poverty to prosperity. we will put new steel into the spine of our country, and by the way, it will now be american made steel. [cheers & applause] we will breathe new hope into our community. we will do it all with american hands, american grit and american pride. loyal citizens like you help to build this country and together we are taking back our great and

beautiful country, returning power to everyday american people. these are the greatest of all peopl people. in every action, with every decision, we will stand up for america and we will stand up for the great state of indiana. [cheers & applause] this is the state where generations of american patriots and pioneers plowed the fields, carved the wilderness and work the factories of the great american midwest, no place like it. it's the state that gave us

notre dame football, hoosier basketball. and the legendary indy 500. with your help, this november, indiana will inspire our country again. no dream is beyond our reach. our ancestors braved the oceans, tamed the frontiers, put down the beautiful railroads, built up the highways and dugout the great panama canal. we are the nation that won two world wars. [cheers & applause] and we are the nation that defeated communism and fascism and landed a man on the face of the moon.

and always remember, we have picked up in wealth trillions and trillions of dollars for our country since our election, not my election. our election. and our economy, people forget, our economy, our economy, is almost twice the size of any other economy of any other nation in the world. remember that. people forget. [cheers & applause] people forget. people forget. we're not going to let them forget. as long as we are proud of who

we are and what we are fighting for, we will never ever fail. with your help, your voice and with your vote, we will win. we will achieve victory for our country. victory for our can children and victory for this magnificent land that we all love. because we're americans. our hearts bleed red, white and blue. [cheers & applause] we will never give in. we will never ever give up. we will never stop fighting for our country, our freedom and our flag.

we are one people, we are one family and we are one nation under god. [cheers & applause] together we will make america wealthy again, we will make america strong again, we will make america safe again. [cheers & applause] and we will make america great again! thank you indiana, we love you. thank you. god bless you. thank you. [cheers & applause] >> tucker: president trump speaking at a rally in elkhart, indiana. went for a little over an hour. mark steyn watched the whole things. joins us with reaction. what did you think, mark? >> i think it was pretty darn

good. the president has essentially invented a kind of new form here, the way f.d.r. did with his fireside chats on the radio and it works for him. this is how i first saw him on stage, basically riffing on the day's news. he's got a little more telepromptered since then but he's gone back to what he did in his campaign days. just he's comfortable in the job. he's comfortable with himself. he's doing all republicans and all conservatives a service and this is something that marco and jeb and john kasich and all the rest can learn from him. he's not being boxed in by democrat media corsets of discourse. he's basically found a way to get out what he wants to get out and it works for him really well. by the way, the stuff about the london embassy was a classic --

i don't believe that was on the prompter and it was a classic riff. i whatn't to make sure i get the words right. he described the u.s. embassy as the best location in the whole portfolio. i love the way he talks about united states embassies as a portfolio like trump tower and trump resort and all the rest of it. >> tucker: the state department doesn't use that officially. i get the sense watching him speak and talking to him and the people that work for him, he gets a lot out of these because it watches him gauge the interest level in certain policies. >> yes. the biggest applause is always for the wall. if you noticed the last time he did one of these a couple weeks ago, he started to go on -- i think it was about h1b or h2 visas and the crowd wasn't so enthused about that.

i noticed those lines have gone missing. you know, this is really what the media in particular don't get about president trump. they're very hung up on literalism. he's actually playing -- in a sense he's playing a stage character. so when they get annoyed about things -- for example, he said tonight, oh, mike pence, he's doing an unbelievable job. which reminded me about what chuck schumer got mad at him for saying about kim jong-un. i can imagine in singapore and trump putting his arm around him and say rocketman, you look fabulous. you're looking like macron, it's terrific. what they don't understand, is you know, the media are bone crushingly literally about this. he's like a great actor or a great singer. he's playing the subtext, not just merely the dialogue on the surface. you think these moronic

celebrity critics would figure it out? why is baldwin's impersonation of trump a nothing? because trump is playing trump better than the brilliant actor plays him. he's playing the subtext. that's -- not to go all actor studio on you, tucker. >> tucker: i like it. >> that's what alec bald when does when he does his hilarious tony bennett impression. playing the subtext. but he can't get beyond the surface lingo when he does trump. trump is a genius like this. that's what these crowds get. even when the words appear to be saying something else, they get what he's really saying. this is something that, you know, if there was political staff college, they'd be teaching these things in 20 or 50 years. >> tucker: i think maybe what he's saying most of all is i care about you and i'm

interested in what you have to say. the people want to hear that more than anything. >> what is interesting to me, when you leave the rallies, it's not just the people are laughing and mouthing along with the slogans, but you also see people with tears welling up in their eyes, because it's so unlike the synthetic consultant-driven poll-tested phony baloney of presidential campaigning. >> tucker: interesting. mark steyn, great to see you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: democrats are upset about speeches like that and about the trump presidency itself of course. but for more than a year, they have consoled themselves by looking ahead to the mid-terms. the 2018 congressional election. they thought we're going to win big. we're going to take back power. they may. recent polls show that democrats one massive lead is shrinking. now to almost nothing. a new poll over at cnn shows that democrats have only a

3-point advantage on a generic congressional ballot. is this real? what does it mean? what is going on here? tom be vin follows this carefully and joins us tonight. what is this about, tom? is it real? >> i think it's real, tucker. you go back and look in mid december. the democratic lead in mid december, would you vote for republican or democrat, democrats had a 13-point lead. as of today, it's down to 6. in our real clear politics average. the cnn poll went 16 points down to three. another poll showing it down to one point. so this is real. it is just as a point of reference, in 2006, when democrats won 30 states, they finished with a 7.9 percentage lead. so i think they're in that range where it's making them very nervous. >> tucker: so republicans in congress have been assuming for

months -- i talked to them -- that they would lose big and nancy pelosi would be the speaker. now they have a shot but they're concerned about voter intensity on the left is strong. how meaningful is that intensity? >> it's meaningful, particularly in a mid-term election where it's about turning out the base. the becomes have had an advantage there. but back to the cnn poll. that was another finding that was disturbing for democrats. they showed the republican intensity is up now and matching the level of the democrats. if that's the case, it's not at all a sure bet that democrats would take back the house in november. >> tucker: a little confusing in trump's personal approval numbers are confusing given the stormy daniels story, which is the single most important story ever covered by the american news media, has dominated the coverage for the past three or four weeks, months, i don't know how long it's been. that hasn't had an effect. >> no. in fact, it's the opposite, tucker. in mid december was trump's low

point in the real clear politics rating. his average was 37. he's at 43.4. he's gained 6 1/2 points over the course of that period. as you mentioned, the entire time, it's the stormy daniels onslaught. not only has it hurt his numbers, his numbers have been ticking upwards the entire time. again, that's something that -- you see democrats. you talk to them. they're annoyed by this. talk to nancy pelosi and others, they say it's distracting from our message. they want to reach voters. voters have tuned that out and paying attention to the other stuff which trump has had a good few weeks. >> tucker: amazing. their message. we don't have time for you to tell me what that is. i appreciate it, tom. thank you. >> you bet. >> tucker: you just heard the numbers on the upcoming election are interesting. the democrats are still ahead but not nearly as popular action they were six months ago. it's weird the president is

unliked by half the country. democrats ought to be way ahead. as you just heard, they're not. why is that? could it be that for all the problems that the republicans have, and they're real, democrats are perceived as less appealing? looks that way. the question is why. we have theories. we can show you a million examples. here's one from yesterday that came to mind. watch as this msnbc panel, which is close to a democratic party focus group you'll find, gushes over the porn lawyer whose eyes are too close together. watch this. >> michael avanetti is a beast. >> he's a beast. he keeps popping donald trump and all of his folks in the mouth. john meachem says he may be the savior of the republic. >> he killed the news of the iran deal in one big stroke. he is a master of the media cycle. >> i owe michael avanetti an

apology. i said i've seen you everywhere. i was wrong, brother. you have a lot to say. the democrats could learn something from you. you're messing with trump a lot more than they are. >> tucker: here's a political rule of them. in the creepy porn lawyer is the savior of the republic in your view, you're probably not trying very hard to middle america. democrats are not. in the last 1 1/2 years, the democratic party has doubled down on ever rebehavior that got trump elected in the first place. they prefer illegals to u.s. citizens. they're open about it. in schools and sports, the military, they denounce the idea of biological differences between men and women. that something that every culture from ancient egypt understand. two nights ago, "the new york times" criticized mike pompeo and his trip to north korea. they ran the headline, at a key

moment, trump's top diplomat is a thousand miles away like it's a sin. the purpose of the visit is to security the release of three american prisoners. the times is not impressed by that. mike pompeo works for trump so it must be bad. what ever else he's done, trump has driven the democratic party off the deep end and it's showing in the polls. and christy, you've been around the democratic party a long time. she joins us tonight. you've heard tom bevins saying their message is not getting automatic. truth is it's bad. it's more of an animal reaction. >> whatever the message is, it's working. look at the congressional and state elections since november 2016. democrats have flipped 40 plus seats at the state legislative. often in districts where trump won by 20 or 30 points. so we can quibble and the

message but we can't quibble whether or not it's working. it clearly seems to be. >> tucker: to some extent, trump is loathed by half the population. it's his first mid-term. historically they're going to get seats. the question is where is the wave. one of the messages is, there's no differences between the sexes. biological reality is like fake. >> nobody is saying that. >> tucker: we need to reorganize society. it's more radical than anything trump has said. >> suggest you to point me to the candidate is saying that. democrats are being reasonable -- >> tucker: would it be possible for a democrat running for office in the democratic primary to say there's two biological sexes, male and female? that's it. if you said that -- >> i would suggest they talk about the economy. >> what do you mean? are you joking? they're the ones pushing the changes on the rest of us, including bathroom thing. you can't say that in the democratic party. i'm serious. >> it's republicans doing the

bathroom thing. north carolina, that was a entirely -- >> tucker: nobody imagined there were more than two sexes until 20 minutes ago. it was democrats. it's a big change. maybe biology isn'ts real. it's not a mainstream position. they spend a lot of time talking about it. does it help? >> if you want to make the arguments this democrats should or shouldn't be talking ant impeachment, stormy daniels and her lawyer. we can have that conversation and i'd be happy to. there's no mainstream candidate -- >> tucker: really? you can say as a democrat -- serious. i think it's re-ordering society is a big deal. and pretending biology is fake, too. you could have a democratic candidate saying there's two biological sexes and he could get away with that? >> i don't think that they have been is what i'm saying. i think again, if you look back to the ways that democrats have been performing up to this points, whatever it is that they're doing is working. there's far nor energy, there's

more small dollar donations and that leads to more volunteers and leads to a better slate of candidates in the democratic party. >> tucker: a lot of it is true. you're right. probably more energy and all that. i'm waiting for the wave. i see. i hope you come back election night. >> thank you. >> tucker: robert mueller has bitten off a lot. can he chew it? the russian interference narrative is headed to court. he might not like that. that story is next. it's a long-distance run and you have the determination to keep going. humira has a proven track record of being prescribed for over ten years. it's the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists. more than 250,000 patients have chosen humira to fight their psoriasis. and they're not backing down. for most patients clearer skin is the proof. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers,

>> tucker: you may have missed it but robert mueller indicted 13 russian nationaled and three russian companies earlier this year. the thought is they wouldn't show up for court. now they're contesting and the case is going to court and that might be bad for robert mueller's investigation. how and why? nobody can answer though questions more than josey.

why would this be bad to go to trial? >> because they're not ready for it. they indicted a case prematurely against people that they never thought would show up from russia. one of the russian company hired lawyers and sent them to court to say we're here and we want to plead not guilty and we want discovery on your criminal case against us. mr. mueller's people objected and said we're not ready for an arraignment. they're not here properly. the federal judge said, mr. mueller, you indicted this case. it's your case. it's going to trial. let's start this process right now. get discovery. >> tucker: you're saying he indicted people without being ready to prove they're guilty? >> that's right. he a becaused the grand jury process as he has from the beginning of this outrageous investigation authorized by mr. rosenstein. this is rosenstein's monster in spades. >> tucker: you were a federal prosecutor. it seems borderline immoral to

indict somebody unless they're guilty. >> they did it for one reason only. robert mueller needed something russian to make his investigation look good. he indicted 13 people and corporations in another country that he thought would never show up and bingo, one of them shows up and says prove it, mother. >> tucker: that's an unbelievable story. imagine if he did that to americans like, i don't know, flynn. >> he already has. he does it to mr. flynn. >> tucker: unbelievable. thanks for that. >> you're welcome. >> tucker: that's worse than i thought it was. i appreciate it. up next, our liberal shirpa. kathy is here next. hey shrimp fans - this one's for you.
