night. tucker is up next. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight" by the left got violent over theso weekend while the press averted its gaze and pretended nothing happened. >> if it came down to addenda was a group effort, it would be like buy qaddafi." >> i would believe him up. >> you what? >> yeah. >> tucker: telling you would actually happen through the folder. first, disgraced fbi agent peter strzok is now ex-fbi agent peter

strzok. strzok worked on robert mueller's team and helped spearhead the initial investigation into meddling and was fired in part over the countless political tax measures he sent his girlfriend lisa pag. after being fired, he followed a twitter account and posted a single tweet which beg for money on r gofundme. what does strzok's firing me and for the mueller investigation, the sword for collusion, should it shape our faith in the foundations? arc mike alan dershowitz is author of "the case against impeachment of trauma." professor, what is the lesson of the firing of peter strzok for the rest of us? >> personally i am sympathetic to strzok. he was an excellent fbi agent, years in counterintelligence. he made a very, very serious mistake.un the mistake was now deposing trump. he's allowed to do that under the hatch act and others

statutes. his big mistake was not recusing himself. when he was tweeting that he was going to make sure that trump doesn't become president, that he has an insurance policy, it was clear at that point that he could not be perceived as being fair and just and so by not recusing himself, i think he violated his position of trust. i wouldn't go too far and blame it on the very top authorities of the fbi. they did not know. when they did know, they did demote him and taken much of the investigation. i think it is a blemish but i don't think it's a fatal flaw in the investigation. i think there are deeper and more fatal flaws. personal sympathy for strzok but ultimately i think it was the right decision. >> tucker: don't those texts suggest why he didn't recuse himself? i mean, it is one thing to express a political opinion. i do it for a living. it is not disqualifying. he is doing more than that. he is suggesting that his opinions would in some way drive

their criminal investigation he was conducting, and that is a subversion of justice. >> well, that is the issue. he denied under oath that in any way he was influenced by his hatred for trump and nef's his professional decisions. but when he says to his friends, we'll stop them, we need an insurance policy, whether there is the reality of interference or the perception of a thumb on the scale, that is enough to recuse yourself. that is why rod rosenstein should recuse. himself. he is a witness in this case and the idea that you can be the chiefto prosecutor and the main witness at the same time is such an obvious conflict of interest that i don't understand how he can continue to go forward running this investigation. so we have at least two major conflicts of interest and i think that it does raise some questions about the integrity of thes investigation. let's wait and see. mueller himself i think is

nonpartisan. i don't think he cares whether he helps republicans or democrats. he's a zealot, some say, overzealous, prosecutor, and he's using tactics that i have disapproved f for 50 years, going after paul manafort to squeeze him to get him to sing, compose, very questionable tactics but they are used over and over again against people, sometimes innocent people. >> tucker: they certainly are. you are right. it's a make up for a lot of us who have made excuses for prosecutorial misconduct over the years. i hope minds are changed about her going forward. back up just one second to what you said about rod rosenstein not recusing himself. have you ever seen anything like this before? someone conducting an investigation, overseeing it, and being a s witness. why wouldn't he recuse himself?r >> i don't understand it. i just don't get it. i wonder if he's worried that the person who replaces him as being in charge of the investigation, remember that his boss can't do it, jeff sessions, recused. but i will tell you if one good thing has come out of this

thing, one bad thing is that several libertarians and liberals have stopped being skeptical of prosecutors. every prosecutor, every fbi agent, they are wonderful, wonderful people. we can't criticize them. but if conservatives now become supportive of at least probing prosecutors and looking over their shoulders and asking the question, who will guard the guardians, i think it will be a very good thing for america and a very good thing for civil liberties, which is why although i voted for hillary clinton, i am strongly supportive of keeping the civil liberties argument in the forefront as we go forward in this investigation. >> tucker: why would you want unchecked power? people with the power to destroy your life, to shoot you commit to have an oversight? it's terrifying. >> it's a good thing that conservatives now appreciate that. thank you. >> tucker: amen. the summer of 2016 meeting between a russian lawyer and donald trump jr. has of course become a centerpiece for the

russia collusion conspiracy theory that ishe completely overwhelmed with the workings of government. increasingly, though, that meeting looks like it may have been a set up design for me outside to sabotage the trump campaign. lee smith has looked carefully at this and he has a brand-new piece out on it today which you should read, it is fascinating. he joins us tonight. you took a very close look at this meeting. what did you conclude? >> thanks, tucker, for having me on. one of the most important thingi to look at, there is one key to it, and that is the russian lawyer that is supposed to be the test of the proof of collusion. this was t a client of glenn simpson. glenn simpson was the person who was responsible for producing the clinton-funded dossier. how does this happen, how did this combination happened, how are all these? people in the sae room? i think that is the essential point that has been a lighted orb skewered almost all the time in the press, i think that once,

things start to become clearer. >> tucker: you are speaking of natalia bussell nuts gaia? >> yes. >> tucker: the famous russian attorney who said she was in there to talk about russian adoptions, and then others say she was there to pedal dirt alternative hillary clinton. how is she a client of glenn simpson? >> the whole idea that her about talking about adoptions, that is her part of her effort to roll back the magnitsky act, sanctioning russian officials, and other associates of vladimir putin. so again, glenn simpson, who was hired by the clinton campaign to produce the dossier, allegedly unraveling, unearthing trump's ties to russia, is actually working on behalf of pro-kremlin interests. that is what natalia veselnitskaya is doing in that meeting. she is actually pushing a campaign that glenn simpson has partnered with, to rollback american legislation on putin

regime officials and other associates. r >> tucker: so a glenn simpson client is the key to the case that the trump family was involved in colluding with the russian government. glenn simpson also the person paid to assemble a dossier proving collusion between the trump family on the russian government. so why is this not a widely known fact? >> i mean, basically what has happened here is i think that we have seen fusion gps and we've seenen the press basically takea picture, right?th the picture is that donald trump and other trump campaign members in a meeting with the russian lawyer and then they brought the caption underneath and watch as the captions they? "collusion." the other caption -- the real caption is something else. the facts are different. the facts are that natalia veselnitskaya is there working on the case that glenn simpson is also working on. they are partnered on the same job on behalf of pro-kremlin

interests. so yes, it's an enormous issue. to that has been misreported or underreportedd since the story first broke a little bit more than a year ago now, in 2017, reporting the 2016 meeting. >> tucker: it's an amazing fact. it's really -- a year ago, i never would have believed any of this. lee smith, thinker, great reporting. >>an thanks. >> tucker: and tivo gotrten violent in washington and charlottesville yesterday. the press tries to ignore it but it happened, it is on tape. mark steyn joins usrk after the break to discuss what happened. also a lot going on over the last week, including news from the creepy porn lawyer. things we missed while we were out of town! we'll revisit them. ♪ you wouldn't accept an incomplete job

"anti-hate groups," because their hate isn't really hate,s it's the opposite of hate, even if it exactly the same as heat prayed pretty amusingly orwellian but also scary, lying works overtime, and that is exactly why they do it.

groups. the ones a screaming and throwing things. >> yeah, actually threatening to kill people and wearing masks and in fact having, as you said, having all the attributes coming out of antifascists, but itr fascists. and i am one of those people -- because when you look at that man, you see the little pajama boy types talking about wanting to kill people and it's easy to laugh it off and say it, they don't really mean it, they are not into it, but in fact, if you look at what has been going on, the increase in the level of targeted intimidation of people who just happen to have a political disagreement with them, i think we are approaching the point at which someone is going to get killed over this, and community will play a large part and not because when they say that dogs on the street intimidating, not just political targets, but just general,

passing motor vehicle traffic, the media, like cnn, who called them anti-hate groups, are actually a big part of the problem here. the sentimental isolation and glamorize station of violence. >> tucker: of course. but you can understand why the crowd is in a frenzy because they believe what they have been told, witches, there is a massive white supremacist fascist movement on the verge of taking over. and i guess, my question is, where are these people? have lived in this country for 49 years. i'm not familiar with any large group that believes that. i never run into anyone who thinks that. i don't know a single person who believes that. this is a fantasy, it's a lie. why do the rest of us go along with this? where is the problem? what are you talking about?t? i'm confused. >> you are wrong there, tucker. there are 17 white supremacists in america. they are living in their parents basement because nothing makes you feel more supremacist thaniv living in your parents basement.

somehow, the media has presented this as a nationwide phenomenon. but it's important to understand why they dumb dumb i kept on that way they have done that as a part of a strategy to delegitimize people, not just people who are white supremacists by people who are ever so teensy wing see right of center. so it's part of their campaign to denormalized the republican party. and it's also, by the way, where restrictions on free speech are unleashed. whenri you have this denormalization and deplatforming at american colleges, where you say, we can't haveve this guy come and speak to us, because he happens to believe that america should have tighter immigration controls, you eventually end up with people who are incapable of making any argument and can onlp punch you in the face because the alternative to free speech is to blow things up and smash a stopper that is what you see on the streets.

>> tucker: it does seem like we're all kind of complicit in this, though. i never hear anybody say, wait, i reject the premise of your argument. everything you are saying is nuts. nobody ever says that. "oh, yeah -- "one side is absolutely bent on preventing me from saying what k think is true and the other side is passive. it is not even close from what i can tell. >> i think that is where we don't project back on it hard enough. i think that frankly, it is a seduction. when you have comedians, for example, standing up, waving the severed head of of a president, that comedian doesn't want to actually sever the head of the president, that is a bit too't much hard work for her. but you can see that she is turned on by it. and there are other people who are turned on by it. and among all those people, maybe there is one who is sufficiently turned on by it, not necessarily because it is hard to gets close to the president but you may run into,

that democrats aren't skeptical of capitalism. i never hear anybody on the left criticize apple or amazon or the private equity people or any of the people who really are making out more than anyone else in our society under our current economy. why is that? could never criticize the system ever. >> you are confusing the democratic party with the left. the democratic party, as presently constituted, is funded by capital. their leaders will tell you that. but there is a vibrant movement on the left who are critical of capitalism as constituted in the united states, and are the leadership of the democratic party. that is, in fact, the basis of the criticism. bernie sanders, alexandria ocasio-cortez -- >> tucker: it's interesting. i -- you are half right but i don't remember the last time i heard anybody in either ring of the democratic party criticize jeff bezos, ever. >> listen to my friends, there

are lots of people. amazon is a good example because a lot of people on the left believe that amazon is an example of a real monopoly problem. it's an example of the way that markets have failed -- >> tucker: they are awfully quiet about it. let me ask you this. socialism, can you think of a playset it's its work? don't give me some low population, totally homogenous nordic country with a thousand year history of cooperation. okay? >> that is a very elegant gerrymander. can you give me example of someplace that it's worked other than the northern european countries where it works? >> tucker: we have nothing in common with margaret wow nordic countries. let's be real. >> i'll go along. >> i think it works well in the united states for example. they live under wonderful form of socialism, single-payer health care, they have universal basic income in the form of social security, and they love it. so even in our heterogeneous country with its only 300 year

history, socialism works well for the very old, and that is the reason they are so politically engaged. they like it. >> tucker: no. you can't have socialism for part of the population. socialism is a comprehensive system in which everybody participates, and the left is calling for a version of it now. so bernie sanders, alexandria ocasio-cortez, and others are saying, we need universal health care. >> that's exactly right. >> tucker: i understand, medicare for all -- the cost is not a small thing. more than $32 trillion over a decade. doubling the entire federal budget. don't just tell me that we are going to pay for it with savings. how exactly is that going to work in a country that is already incapable of paying its debts? >> well, tucker, if you think medicare for all is expensive, you should try the alternative, not doing meta medicare for all is going to cost $43 trillion. two big numbers but i think we both know which one is smaller. >> tucker: [laughs]

>> medicare for all would cover everybody. under the current system, you don't. you get a lot more for less money and that is the art of the deal, my friend. >> tucker: wouldn't you need to close their borders immediately because if you offered this system, you get "free health care," and you have open borders, which we obviously have, thanks to the left, how was that sustainable? why wouldn't everyone in the hemisphere moved to your country and partake of the free stuff? they would come a correct? you can't have socialism and i would borders of the same time, right? >> we don't have any version of open borders right now, and if one believes that people who -- >> tucker: 20 million people living here illegally -- >> it's a capitalist idea that you should be comfortable with that, which is why there is attention and what you are saying, the open borders advocates are capitalist, the koch brothers love -- >> tucker: i am very aware of that. the reason we have open borders is because the democratic party and the republican party are

basically being bought off, and the case of the democratic party, there's the added benefit of new voters. i'm just a saying, you can't have an enormously social welfare programs and open borders. the truth is, we do. if you want to move here, you can, we can support you from the state of california, for example, so it moves that sustainable? could you add another 100 million people with low education levels, no skills to a universal health care scheme? really? >> our tradition in the united states, as you well know, has been -- and people can attack this from both sides -- but our tradition has been that immigrants to the united states, for they are citizens, actually don't get access to most social welfare programs. they pay taxes, lots of taxes, but they don't actually get access to a lot of government programs. if you just maintained that status quo, i think there is not a funding challenge at all. >> tucker: i'm not allowed to use profanity on the air. i want to spell out b.s. but that is what it is, what you

>> tucker: sounds better even to hear it. thanks a lot for that are part, brett larson. we appreciate it. twitter, one of the few remaining tech companies, maybe the only, that hasn't purged alex jones in the last week, that doesn't mean that freedom of speech is safe on the platform. peter van baron is a former state department employee and author. he says he was banned from twitteran for life for having a political debate on their platform. he joins us tonight to explain what exactly happened. peter, thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: as honestly as you can't, tell us why you were banned from twitter. >> it was a discussing discussn between journalists about whether they had culpability of bringing america to war. this following the president statement saying that the media with the enemy of the people. i said that was a state department official in iraq and i said i often lied to journalists on behalf of the government, and i misled them, part of my job, and i blew the

whistle on myself and on the state department and came clean on this. many of thee journalists overreacted or reacted, i should say, to that and claimed that they were not responsible for flushing out these. lies, in fact, it was my fault for not being truthful to them. i replied that it was their responsibility as journalists to hold the government to accounts, to be more skeptical of government and twitter being twitter, it kind of went downhill from there. >> tucker: let me just note that virtually the entire establishment, and especially journalists, are reflexively pro-war and the creepiest possible way. you are right on that. i have seen it for 30 years. where is the point where you crossed the line and twitter's view? t you got banned for life rates because that is the interesting part. i don't really know. over the course of seven years on twitter, i've sent out over 29,000 tweets and i don't know which one actually crossed the line because twitter has not responded and twitter doesn't tell you why you are banned.

i simply received an automated response saying that something i had written and cited people to silence through fear. one of my tweets that was reported, and attempted a bad joke, not the most proud piece of writing i had done, i was watching "fear of the walking dead" while i was tweeting and i wrote something about, maybe someone will come eat your face, and that apparently consists of violence, the same way, i guess, that when you tell someone to go jump in the lake, that consists of an invitation to go swimming. >> tucker: you don't seem threatening to me. do you think if you have been advocating for war with iran, like bill kristol and everybody else in washington, that you would have been banned? >> absolutely. advocating for war is perfectly acceptable within twitter's boundaries. the two people that were banned alongside me, one, president of the rand paul institute, another person who rents antiwar.com, both banned for supporting me. the main thing is not appropriate to be here talking

about what i tweeted, the main thing would be if people could read those tweets and decide for themselves whether i was worth following. i have been stopped from tweeting twice in the last six months. once when i visited iran and the government of iran blocked twitter for everyone, and once here in united states where twitter blocked me. >> tucker: you'll notice that the neocon warmongers never get band. ever. peter, thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> tucker: irony of irony. well, the creepy porn lawyer requires more stress to students, meeting publicity, so he's plotting a run for the presidents. mark steyn joins us to talk about that and other stories are most while foolishly vacationing last week. ♪ nobody else even comes close. now starting at $7.99. gillette. the best a man can get. you wouldn't accept from any one else.

♪ be right back. with moderate to severe crohn's disease, i was there, just not always where i needed to be. is she alright? i hope so. so i talked to my doctor about humira. i learned humira is for people

who still have symptoms of crohn's disease after trying other medications. and the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. be there for you, and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. ♪ >> what is the issue you've been talking about over the years? spea >> what is the issue you've been talking about over the years? speak the truth. the truth. that is my policy. that is my policy issue. >> tucker: the downside of being

a cable news host is you can't even step away for a few days without the creepy porn lawyer hatching a new plot to get himself back on television. mark steyn was in this chair to cover it all when it happened. i was abroad fishing, defending my country, as i always do when i'm outside its borders and then i come back to find cpl, the creepy porn lawyer is thinking about running for president and i'm kind of crestfallen, i'm not really sure what to make of this. how did you cover it when you were sitting in this chair? >> he announced his campaign at the iowa state fair, which is where one goes apparently to find a creepy porn lawyer. it's like between the 4h barn and the petting zoo. the creepy porn lawyer have his stand there and he's selling blooming onions and all the rest of it and he's announced that he is a shoo-in for the democrat nomination in 2020 and in fact in my state of new hampshire he's planning on coming here in

the next couple of weeks and stumping new hampshire. by the way, stumping new hampshire was one of my favorite stormy daniels movies. >> tucker: [laughs] >> it's super hot. >> tucker: are you going to sit there and passively accept this? i have argued for years that the state ought to have built a southern border wall to keep massachusetts out. you ignored me and look what happened. but you are going to say having not learned that lesson and let cpl invade your state without any response at all, is that what you are saying? >> as i said, the creepy porn lawyer is at state fairs. that's your problem with america right there. that's the death of the republic is you can't even go to the county fair and it's inevitable in a way. america employs as many lawyers as the rest of the planet combined, so it makes a certain sense that they are actually at the county fair now. and i'd rather just have

something wholesome like a greased pig race. but if we can't have that, then having a creepy porn lawyer race at the fair in new hampshire, coming up in a couple of weeks, that's as good as we can get. >> tucker: if your eyes are that close together do you have peripheral vision or is this really a question for an ophthalmologist i guess? we will get a doctor's opinion on that. a funnel cake and the creepy porn lawyer come to new hampshire. that is in the end probably not going anywhere. i want to get your very quick prediction on this. we are mocking it now but could this become real? >> a lot of things we mock, if you remember, do become real and president porn lawyer could well be in the cards. you heard it here. >> tucker: you're welcome on this show anytime. >> i'm not bill kristol, i'm not going never-porn lawyer right out of the gate. you never know what could happen.

>> tucker: you are a wise man. great to see you, thanks for sitting in. you were great. >> the guest host at the end of last week, you should have got michael avenatti, he would have done a much better job. >> tucker: i don't know who that is. that's about it for us. every night at 8:00 the show that's the sworn enemy, and pomposity and groupthink. sean hannity right now. ten seconds later. >> sean: you don't know how to hit the post. have you ever done radio in your life? 16 seconds over. >> tucker: six seconds later. >> sean: good thing we actually follow each other so it doesn't mess up the reruns. >> tucker: by the way, i've given you many, many seconds over the years. i'm just taking a few back. >> sean: all right, tucker. good to see you. great show. welcome to "hannity." incredible breaking news night all over the place, the corrupt anti-trump fbi agent peter strzok has finally been fired, the damage is done. a politically motivated clinton
