tv Tucker Carlson Tonight FOX News August 14, 2018 5:00pm-6:00pm PDT
5:00 pm
>> martha: that's our story for this tuesday night, we will you back here tomorrow. tucker carlson is up next in washington. good night, everybody, . >> tucker: a good evening and welcome to the "tucker carlson tonight." midterm elections are just months away and no matter what you hear, the truth is democrats do have a strong chance of taking over the house of representatives if history is any guide. short term that means that nancy pelosi will get unfettered subpoena power and maxing water is likely to be chairman of the financial services committee. but more broadly it means an ascendant democratic party, not the party you grew up with but a new and more radical and far more tolerant version of that party. how radical? let me show you the violence.
5:01 pm
we have exclusive new material and two weeks ago activists held a convention in new orleans called net roots nation. the fast evolving standards of the left, net roots nation as a mainstream gathering. this sent an investigative team to net roots nation to find out within the democratic party is becoming. the first thing we noticed is that socialism, long discredited by nearly a century of suffering. >> what i see is not a time for moderation, at the time for progressives to double down on what we believe in. >> the establishment is terrified of that word, socialism. but if we learned one thing from the obama years, and we might as well give him the real thing.
5:02 pm
>> tucker: might as well give them real socialism, the crowd cheers. just ten years ago democrats and nodded to the idea of border security. they said there were for it. now the idea of immigration and enforcement of any kind, of borders themselves, is considered repugnant on the left. >> i have reason to believe that an agency that has repeatedly, systematically and violently committed human rights abuses cannot be reformed. >> just imagine, no wall. no wall and southern arizona. disagree you are immoral. >> the republicans will continue to practice politics of the division, they will attack anyone who dares to stand up to the rich and the powerful.
5:03 pm
>> do you need to wait for robert mueller to tell you trump is wildly corrupted? >> we must defeat a republican party which has sold its soul to a republican president without one. >> tucker: the president has no soul, republicans are in the pocket of the rich says the hedge fund private equity party. the president of course denounced as a racist while actually race baiters like maxine waters were lauded as heroes. >> we are not going to let you come to ohio president company and president trump, and do your race baiting. >> tucker: ironically, for a gathering that they said was designed to empower the marginalized voters of color, they said this tended to skew much paler and affluent.
5:04 pm
a group of them stormed the stage during saturday's keynote speeches and demanded more black representation and promised to drink the crowds "white tears." >> that white resiliency is showing, those white tears are showing but i'm ready to drink them because you are going to lead us on the board and you are going to fight for us on the board. >> tucker: ready to drink white tears. in an effort to atone for their skin color, organizers did what they could to attack white america. among those was one called it, brown is the new white, how the demographic revolution is created in the new authority. and that means white voters are able to vote and elect officials. in any other venue that would be described as quote racism. then there were bizarre portions of the program. one well attended panel that with the matter of "menstrual
5:05 pm
equity. one elected democrat from virginia that we spoke to said, mail access to tampons is a vital and important emerging issue. >> we are not sure how many men are menstruating, based on transgender surgeries are other ways of transforming. >> tucker: we are not sure how many men are menstruating. happily the democratic party is trying to find out even as she was sleep. this is what the democratic party is running on. vicious attacks on the population because of their skin color, tampons and men's bathrooms. this is a movement that seeks to and borders in a world where there are only two kinds of people. the 320 million americans who live here, you and me come up in the 7 billion u.s. citizens that haven't gotten around to moving here yet but have every right to move here when they feel like it, i would be the rest of the
5:06 pm
world. that's what utopia looks like if you are a member of "the new york times" editorial board. but what if you were just a new york voter? we will find out in november. but we will speculate ahead of time. richard joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. >> of course. now socialism, two years ago, it was i think pretty conclusively believed by most people that socialism had been tried over a period of almost 100 years, resulted in tens of millions of death and test human suffering and it may be was something that we didn't want to try again. now mainstream democratic candidates are saying we need to socialism, is this a direction that you applaud? >> cynthia nixon was the only person who you just depicted that embrace socialism and i wouldn't call her a mainstream democratic candidate. the candidates frankly -- >> tucker: alexandria
5:07 pm
ocasio-cortez is not a mainstream candidate? >> she got fewer than 16,000 votes, you know that. the bernie sanders back candidate -- let me finish this one statement. the bernie sanders backed candidates and open primaries are getting clobbered by mainstream democratic candidate candidates. candidates imported by the democratic party. >> tucker: before you get political on me, it's a sincere question. you don't believe that democrats running as socialists, democratic socialists, that's not the future of your party, you are not going to see more of that. are you sincerely seeing that, because it seems like that's what you're saying. >> if you look at the polling, pulling that supports moderate answers, that supersedes anything. that beats anything that trump is standing for or bernie sanders. >> tucker: i'm for moderate
5:08 pm
democrats, so if your argument is we need more moderate democrats, i'm on your side. this is scary because they seem to be moving towards the center of your party. the question is, where are the leaders of your party? we are not a socialist party actually. that's been tried in venezuela. >> we saw this polling, and it was funny as trade wars not capitalists. that's economy we've seen so fa far. >> before you lecture me on the definitions capitalism, i don't know if you are quite qualified for that. if socialism is antithetical to what it is to be a democrat, i don't democratic leaders say that out loud? >> i don't think democrats need to respond to the cynthia
5:09 pm
nixon's of the world to come up with all due respect to her. >> tucker: all right, i hope you are right. >> we will see in the elections. >> tucker: let me ask you this. why wouldn't it be easy for democratic leaders to say, it's really simple. if you can't attack people on the basis of their skin color. democrats were the forefront of the civil rights movement, but they were honestly leading the charge against racial discrimination for like 50 years. now, they are saying it's okay to attack people in the base of the skin color. why doesn't someone stand up and say, that's wrong, all lives matter? >> if there's one prominent person in public life today who's attacking people on the basis of his skin color, he resides at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. ask the top black official, asked the public.
5:10 pm
>> tucker: we've established that you think trump is bad. trump is -- okay. we try to be the one show that doesn't talk about trump for the entire hour, so let me restate the question. why is it so hard for democratic leaders to stand up for an established principle of the democratic party, one that i grew up with, that we should attack people on the basis of skin color? i'm hearing them of all levels, they attacked fellow americans for their skin color. that's immoral. why does nobody say so? >> i don't think every democratic leader has to respond to every kook. and i don't think we are looking at elected officials who are attacking people -- >> tucker: really? "the new york times" editorial writer, who was at the center of this huge controversy, she attacked people for their skin color. she was roundly defended by left-wing pundits on other channels, it's not a good thing to attack people on the basis of characteristics they can't control, nobody said that. anyone who tried to say that was
5:11 pm
denounced. >> if she gets elected as a democrat to congress, then we will have reason to debate this. but as long as all she is, no disrespect, as a member of the editorial board of "the new york times," honestly the editorial board has people on it that have a lot of different positions. i would quarrel why that gets ascribed to the democratic party. >> tucker: i see it everywhere, maybe i'm paranoid or something that every single day, every news site i go to is making the same point. and i didn't grow up in a world where that was okay. >> all i'm saying is next time you sit down with donald trump, please tell him what exactly is that to me. >> if we are -- this array should be ashamed for who it is. i would be the first one to say, you can't say that, that's wrong. >> the president calling a black person a dog or saying the black
5:12 pm
people were low iq, i think that's exactly the term he would ascribed to them. >> tucker: he says that to everybody. by the way, what bothers me to be totally honest is, i love dogs and i don't think that's an insult. i'm dead serious. richard, thank you. senator elizabeth warren also spoke at mets net roots and she denounced the criminal justice system, all of it. >> the criminal justice system is racist. this is sentence reform that we were talking about here. we were talking about what you declared to be an illegal, and how to enforce it and who gets arrested. >> warren is now trying to clarify her remarks and she says she wasn't calling any individual law enforcement personnel racist, even as she
5:13 pm
condemned the entire institution they work for. what exactly was she saying and is it a good idea to say that on the eve of an election? dana perino is exactly the person to ask and she hosts "the daily briefing" every day. so, i don't want to pile it on, she's an ideologue but also a political person. she's not stupid and she doesn't say things in the public accidentally. is that a good political move to a tactile justice system >> it depends on which race you are running for her. she is likely to be a 2020 democrat for the party so if you go to net roots nation and say that as a democratic candidate, you are going praise. but here's the problem, she's running for reelection right now as a senator in her home state of massachusetts. the reason she had to backtrack, police in her own state,
5:14 pm
sheriffs who typically stay out of politics for the most part had it written an open letter condemning the comment. she had to pull back and so she is in a paradox of what race are you running for. the other thing, tucker, i would say is, sometimes in politics it's all about timing. in many ways, she should have run in 2016. she would have had the entire left field to herself. she didn't do that. and now that field is so crowded. >> tucker: that's -- i agree with you completely. it's the chris christie problem for years too late. that was her cycle. so is anybody concerned about the effect -- there are things about our system that are bad and could be improved, everyone agrees with that. but attempted to legitimize the entire justice system inevitably will increase the amount of crime and disorder in america and that has always been a pretty powerful political issue. are they worried about that?
5:15 pm
>> i would say a couple things. three of her colleagues, potential candidates that she will run against in the democratic primary have been in the criminal justice system and have made their careers there. the former governor of her home state of massachusetts. kamala harris, senator from california and, if you are running against her, as one of those democrats, then i would ask for that. the other thing is, if you just take a bigger picture look at this, she has -- i wrote it down here. she has pretty much a wonderful opportunity taken away from herself and the people she says she wants to help. president trump held that event at bedminster on his time off on criminal justice reform. he wants to actually get a deal
5:16 pm
and he wants to do something about it. the question will actually be, will the democrats actually let him help them? will they give him a chance to sign legislation and actually change the criminal justice system. jared kushner is pushing it, people like van jones at cnn has outside work and he's been working on this. there is bipartisan support in the senate and the president is willing to sign something. but the question will be, do the democrats want a solution or a problem that they can run against? >> tucker: that such a good point and if the white house is clever, i think they will point that out. dana perino, great analysis and great to see you as always. from london to sweden, europe is in chaos. widespread violence overnight. there is a reason it is happening, government policy, or the government, our government, willing to be honest about why
5:17 pm
it's happening? that's next. enjoying a slice of pizza. now it's as easy as pie. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn? well, esurance makes finding the right coverage easy. in fact, drivers who switched from geico to esurance saved an average of $412. that's auto and home insurance for the modern world. esurance. an allstate company. click or call. esurance. an allstate company. it's the ford summer sales event and now is the best time to buy. you ready for this, junior? yeah, i think i can handle it. no pressure... ...that's just my favorite boat. boom.

5:19 pm
5:21 pm
>> tucker: the heart of english civilization was hit by another terror attack, the 29-year-old man rammed his vehicle into cyclists and pedestrians in the center of london. people were injured but thankfully no one was killed. meanwhile in sweden, at least 80 cars were torched in several cities and with the prime minister says were "extremely organized attack. no motives have been identified for either attack. for decades violence like this was basically unheard of. now thanks to deliberate policy choices by those in power, that has changed radically. the question is are we free to describe what's happening. nigel fled the democratic party, and thanks for joining us. it's not even worth it seems to me speculating about what could happen here. i don't have all the facts and i don't want to get out on a limb but here's what we do know indisputably. ancient societies in europe and
5:22 pm
our society, are all becoming much more volatile and divided from within due to deliberate government policies over the course of decades. it seems like the people who made those policies are trying to prevent the rest of us from assessing those policies, or complaining about them. is that your reader? >> sweden i think has just about the most restrictive press and the whole western world. it's very difficult to get any objectivity from swedish press and certainly no criticism in mainstream swedish media of government policy. just to be clear, a country of asylum-seekers and of course the last five years. so pro rata, more than any other country, and most of those that come tucker are males under the age of 30 that come from a completely different culture,
5:23 pm
with different attitudes towards women, for example. and sweden has changed more than any other european country. what is going on now in those cities is a disaster. the mass arson that has taken place at the prime minister said on a coordinated basis. huge levels in the rise in crime for example. all of that caused by a government policies. and i tell you on the 9th of september there was a swedish general election, and with the will run is shock, surprise, as the far right does well in sweden. well, all of this has been caused by politicians. >> tucker: what i guess i'm confused by is the lack of curiosity on the part of the left in the united states, the party of science which you think would be interested in an empirical inquiry into the results of swedish and immigration policy. we are following the same course, why wouldn't we be interested in the outcomes? but we are not. in fact we punish anyone who is
5:24 pm
interested in the outcomes, why do you think that is? >> it's almost part of the self-loathing that much of the west seems to have, through its politicians and its media. we are to be kind and open hearted and show the world what virtuous and wonderful people we are, even if we imperil our whole way of life. there could be no clearer, better example than sweden. what has happened there in the last five years with opening up the door to large numbers of young men with different religion, different language, different culture, it has been a disaster. and to be honest with you i fear for the future of of those sweh cities. now if people want to keep ahead of the sand over this, they can do so but the evidence is that voters are acting on this. brexit, the election of trump, the italian elections, voters have simply had enough of this and they are rebelling. >> tucker: that is of course the upside of democracy.
5:25 pm
he would think that american universities would have dispatched an army of social scientists to study this since it's a handy case study, but they haven't. nigel, great to see you. for decades, it's been assumed it's been axiomatic that everyone born on american soil is automatically an american citizen. they tell us it's in the constitution. is it in the constitution? is it a good idea? could the white house change it overnight and, if so, should they? all of that is next this is not a bed.
5:26 pm

5:28 pm

(vo) love is why we built a car you can trust for a long time. the all-new subaru impreza sedan and five-door. a car you can love no matter what road you're on. the subaru impreza. more than a car, it's a subaru. right now, get 0% apr financing on the 2018 subaru impreza.
5:29 pm
bundle and save big, but now it's time to find my dream abode. -right away, i could tell his priorities were a little unorthodox. -keep going. stop. a little bit down. stop. back up again. is this adequate sunlight for a komodo dragon? -yeah. -sure, i want that discount on car insurance just for owning a home, but i'm not compromising. -you're taking a shower? -water pressure's crucial, scott! it's like they say -- location, location, koi pond. -they don't say that. >> tucker: supporters of mass immigration are always telling you that all immigration, no matter who it's from or whose coming is good for america. they seldom give you numbers to back that up because there aren't any. a new report by the center for immigration studies found that more than half of all refugees in this country are currently on food stamps living off of
5:30 pm
taxpayer and even immigrants are receiving welfare on behalf of their children who are automatically treated as u.s. citizens. it has long been assumed that anyone board here is automatically a citizen and the constitution requires that. in fact, that may not be the case. in a recent "washington post" piece, michael antone argued the president could issue tomorrow an executive order that the children of illegal immigrants are not to be treated as citizens, and why wouldn't he do that? could the president do that and if so, why isn't he? victor anderson joins us tonigh tonight. and it's true that the constitution does not mandate citizenship for anyone born here regardless of status for the status of the parents. so then why are we acting that that's the law? >> i think it's because the 14th amendment following the
5:31 pm
civil war was aims to address the problems of post-civil war's slavery. nobody really drafted that law and dreamed of that we would have 4 million people with foreign nationals. it's kind of murky and we have about 150 years of jurisprudence that can't quite adjudicate adt that meant. but what that can do tucker is we are the only real people that can go here with the exception of canada that allows both tourism or people to become citizens as parents if they are not only not parents but they are not here illegally. they do not do it and it's mostly a new world phenomenon. at that only applies to the united states because that's what people want to come. it's something that's archaic and i think we could modify it, we could say in five years we
5:32 pm
are going to gradually go into a law where one parent must be a citizen. or, if you have two resident aliens they must be here, say, for five years or ten years of residency and they have to be legal. but the idea that you would get instant citizenship to somebody born of two parents that were here illegally, it's incoherent. >> tucker: while it is of course rewarding their illegal status but it also suggests that the people awarding the sedition strip don't value citizenship, that it's meaningless to them. do you want leaders who don't consider citizenship a prize? >> is part of a leveling process that we've seen with all hierarchy and all roles and requirements are trying to be done away to achieve this utopian goal of the quality result and it leads to tangential problems. people who are here illegally, 55% of the households in california are on some sort of
5:33 pm
public assistance, federal, state or local in the behalf of the households in a nationwide. that's when you can expect over half of our immigrants come with disadvantages. and we want to provide parity but the only way we can do that is massive social where for welfare assistance and anchor babies in the whole idea of granting citizenship. almost anybody who comes who happens to have a child here. >> tucker: why should i have citizens obey the laws. what's the message that we are sending? a foreign national can show up and give the finger to our
5:34 pm
justice system and get rewarded for it, how does that work exactly? >> i don't know but i can tell you that if i have a false i.d. and i gives a false i.d. or double identity, that's a felony in my career is ruined. yet the irs set over the last four or five years, people who use that false i.d., its identity theft. and yet when you look at ways to calibrate felonies or misdemeanors, people say, if you come here illegally and you reside here illegally and use a false i.d. come up that's not really serious enough grounds for deportation. but for you and me, you wouldn't be talking to me and i would be answering tonight if we we had false ideas. >> tucker: too bad paul manafort is an american citizen, maybe he wouldn't be facing 305 years in prison for tax evasion. >> we don't do a ton of environmental stories on the
5:35 pm
show but there actually is a real environmental disaster unfolding in slow motion in the state of florida. a red tide, the biggest in over a decade of clearing out beaches and killing marine life on a vast scale, wrecking the state. why is it happening and why hasn't anything been done? stick around, because it's amazing. -if you told me a year ago where i'd be right now...
5:36 pm
5:37 pm
and the indescribable rush of saving drivers an average of $620. why does fear feel so good? i fell in love three times -- once with a woman, once with a country, and finally... with myself. -so, do you have anything to declare or not? -isn't that what i'm doing? little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats moderate to severe plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're allergic to otezla . it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with... ...an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts,... ...or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines and if you're pregnant or planning to be.
5:38 pm
otezla. show more of you. if you way too often...e moves then you might have a common condition called dry mouth... which can be brought on by many things, like medication and medical conditions. biotène provides immediate, long lasting relief from dry mouth symptoms. it is clinically proven to soothe and moisturize a dry mouth. plus, it freshens breath. biotène. immediate and long lasting dry mouth symptom relief. hi there.me! so, what do you look for in a vehicle? sleek designs. performance. dependability is top on my list.
5:39 pm
well then, here's some vehicles that deliver on that. woah! wow. oh jeez! that's our truck! it's our truck! and they're our cars! that's my chevy! chevy's the only brand to earn j.d. power dependability awards across cars, trucks and suvs three years in a row. awesome. i'm proud. it's like a dynasty. it's impressive. >> tucker: a state of emergency has been finally declared in florida, not a hurricane but a red tide, a shocking red tide to come up one of the state has seen in a decade. it is killing so many fish it has shut down beaches on the west coast all over the state. jeff flock of fox business is investigating for our show. here's his report. >> tucker we come to you tonight with the sound of a drone, perhaps you see it there. this gives you the best picture of the green tide take it away,
5:40 pm
maybe he gets a better picture that way. this is the green tide which has hit the inland area, largely a result of the runoff from lake okeechobee. agricultural runoff, the fertilizer and other agricultural products running into the rivers, and leading to this kind of pond scum, which some have called it. it's actually kind of a green kale smoothie. this is in addition to the red tide, you see some of the fish and other marine life that have been killed by the red tide which is a separate issue but it's kind of a double whammy for the folks in southwest florida and south florida right now. it's become something of a political issue about that runoff coming out of lake okeechobee. this is what's in the backyard of a lot of folks that live out there, and that is -- that's an algae bloom. that's too much water coming out of lake okeechobee with too much agricultural runoff.
5:41 pm
>> thanks jeff, a bona fide disaster. dr. richard pierce as scientists at the marine laboratory in sarasota. thank you so much for coming on. the scale of this for people who haven't seen it is enormous. it's horrifying. why did it take until right now for a state of emergency to be declared? >> i'm not sure, tucker, what the criteria would be for having a state of emergency. we've been studying this particular bloom on and off since last october. and it just goes to north and south, onshore and offshore, some areas it's intense in other areas not so bad. but it has been very intense along the mid west florida self. so people have just been exposed to it for too long and people
5:42 pm
are fed up with it. it's a natural resource of incalculable value. so is it as clear as agricultural are doing this? it depends on whether you are talking about the cyanobacteria which is the freshwater harmful bloom, or the red tide, which is the saltwater harmful apple bloom. my research area focuses primarily on the red tide which is a naturally occurring part of the natural phytoplankton community which are the microscopic, single celled, photosynthetic organisms. this particular one is a dinoflagellates. it also produces very potent neurotoxic chemicals which affects animals like some pesticides do. normally when there are a few
5:43 pm
cells in the water which there are normally, if you have just a few cells per liter or per quart, there's not enough talks and to cause a problem. when he gets to hundreds and thousands of millions as there is in some areas of the coast of florida right now, it becomes a serious problem and that's what we are feeling right now. this is, as you said to come a very serious bloom and it's been going on for some time. in my 10-year here at the marine laboratory which has been over 30 years, and i would say we have equally intense blooms and ones that have lasted longer than this. it's something that has happened before but it's something we need to get a better handle on. we've been studying what it is and where it is an understanding of public health aspects of it and how to avoid them, how to mitigate those effects. now we are starting to look more at what might be done about actually controlling, especially what's along the coast.
5:44 pm
>> tucker: anyone who is adding to this should be in trouble. if you are and environmentalists of this would be one of those rare events that's worth being upset about. dr. pierce, thank you very much. good to see you. well, antifa agitators attacked members of the press this last weekend but the same press seems determined to defend them. that's masochism. what it amounts to, after this.
5:45 pm
i am totally blind. and non-24 can throw my days and nights out of sync, keeping me from the things i love to do. talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424. enterprise car sales and you'll take any trade-in?rom that's right! great! here you go... well, it does need to be a vehicle. but - i need this out of my house. (vo) with fair, transparent value for every trade-in... enterprise makes it easy.

5:49 pm
free world that they themselves acted like fast chess and went after police officers and members of the press. despite that, plenty of personalities were eager to defend them despite that they don't oppose political violence, only by those people they agree disagree with. >> if you are in the media, i argued with you tonight that all punches are not equal morally. they are also wrong to hit, but fighting hate is right. people who show up to fight against bigots are not to be judge the same as the biggest, even if they do resort to the same kinds of petty violence. >> thuggish nist's thoughtlessness. we should be the first to call it out. >> sometimes people -- you have to fight fire with fire sometimes. >> so political violence is acceptable as long as you agree
5:50 pm
with me. it's hard to hear that out loud on television, but we are. tammy bruce has been watching, and she joins us tonight. what you just heard is, and out in the open, bald, justification for political violence. >> it is and of course we are not unfamiliar with this, we see this historically. americans have looked backed traditionally on history and wondered how that did happen in germany, how did these things happen in left-wing cultures where people do inexplicable things and here it is unfolding in front of us, this remarkably obscene suggestion that certain violence is okay against your fellow americans. we have a system here that is unique in that people who would disagree with, we can argue against them and we have these ideas in the open and we can even marginalize them. we can make it public that we don't like them, we have a legislation and government that protects us with the rule of law and that is what makes america

unique and different. what they are suggesting is that all of that should go out the window. and that's the problem here. they have also invested in a narrative that shows that president trump is the creation of a new racism, that america is a racist country and the only way to prove that of course is with events like this. and yet the problem with that is, you had what about 25 white racists in washington, d.c., and most america's get more people at their backyard barbecue every weekend. >> tucker: exactly. >> and that's the real news here. >> tucker: but let me just ask you, you've been on both sides of the political divide over your life. there aren't a lot of white supremacists. i'm almost 50, i've never met a single one of them. where are all these -- we do run into a lot of white supremacists -- do you run into
5:52 pm
a lot of them? >> we've all become better people as time goes on and that's what americans do. that's the real story tucker, they don't exist. and yet the media on the left wanted to seem like such an existential threat that you have two exact violence against them because it's right there at your doorstep. and this is where the problem is. now the barack obama administration declared early in 2016 that they were using domestic violence, domestic terrorism violence, and they wore it all states and local authorities that this would be an increasing problem as an organized, anarchist effort. it is also limited to, may be 200 of them showed up in washington but the fact is it the media is abandoning his job by not only route presenting the real facts, but casting it as
5:53 pm
something large, existentially threatening as something that should legitimize violence against individual americans. that is what americans are rejecting and it is a shame to see it out in the open with fellow journalists. >> nicely put. great to see you. >> elections tonight, primaries in four different states including the critical state of wisconsin. fox political chief anchor bret baier is here with the very latest and the very latest on on unfolding story about keith ellison. join us after the break. . . come together at the lincoln summer invitation sales event. get 0% apr on select 2018 lincoln models

5:58 pm
us than fox chief political anchor our friend bret baier. thanks for filling us in. what is going on with keith ellison, exactly? >> bret: yeah, tucker. this allegation domestic abuse from a former girlfriend came out in the final days of the campaign. is he denying the allegations. it's probably going to effect some votes there we don't have any numbers yet out of minnesota. the amazing part of this story is what you mentioned is that he is the current deputy chair of the democratic national committee and you really haven't seen this story many places. you haven't seen it picked up many places. and that really is a big deal for not only minnesota but also nationally on the democratic party. i want to touch on a couple other things. one is there are a lot of primaries that tonight could set the table for some big races come the fall. if you think about it, on the governors in new england which as you know a pretty progressive area region, currently republicans hold four out of the six states. the governor's office there
5:59 pm
in that region and they could be five by the fall because connecticut current governor there dan malloy the democrat very unpopular. the situation there with taxes very unpopular and tonight ned lamont who beat jerome 11 years ago won the democratic primary and you have a host of candidates running for the republican primary tonight. how that shapes up could be another republican governor's seat in new england come the fall. >> tucker: kind of amazing. the region is becoming more left but more republicans elected governor. amazing. >> bret: yeah. >> tucker: bret baier, great to see you. >> bret: see you, tucker. >> tucker: we are out of time. the hour just flips by. deep and poignant moment for us every night when this show concludes. we will be back tomorrow, the show that is the sworn enemy of lying pomposity, smugness and group think. dvr it if you have figured out how to do it.
