time we have left this week. a busy news week next week, i can promise you that. let not your heart be troubled. la back on monday where she needs to be i will catch you at noon on outnumbered. >> tucker: good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. veteran members of both parties in washington suddenly seem pretty excited about forcing the president from office without bothering to call an election. call that what you will, it's not democracy. not that they care. they just want their power back. but, before that happens, we have some questions for the permanent class in washington about what exactly it is they believe and what they plan to do if they retake power. just ahead. but, first, in case you were starting to sour on donald trump after all the drama over the last week, barack obama reappeared today to remind us why america elected trump in the first place. in remarkable departure from tradition and decorum, obama

gave a bitterly partisan campaign speech at the university of illinois at champaign urbana in which he urged voters to support democrats in the midterm election. like virtually all obama speeches the subtext was about the omni presence of white racism which obama needless to say blamed for the rise of trump. but then he got creative. watch, for example, as obama blames the current administration for pursuing almost exactly the same russia policy that he once g. >> what happened to the republican party? its central organizing principle in foreign policy was to fight against communism and now they are cozying up to the former head of the kgb. >> how did a guy from hawaii learn to talk like that? where did he get that accent? pretty funny. that's just an aside. soon obama went back to favorite and endlessly

recurring theme republican racism. here is one quote. each time we painstakingly pull ourselves closer to our founding ideals that all of us are created equaled and endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights. somebody somewhere just pushed back. in other words republicans hate equal rights that's why they elected trump. they are like save holders nut nfl in the south. watch obama explain. >> understanding, this is not just a matter of democrats vs. republicans or liberals vs. conservatives. various times in our history this kind of politics has infected both parties. southern democrats were the bigger defenders of slavery. >> tucker: slavery. see, it's simple. racism did it. interestingly, the one thing obama didn't next was the death of the american middle class and that's odd because

it was only in 2015, seven years into obama's presidency when the middle class became a minority in this country for the first time in living memory. that was the pivotal event of the past several decades. it changed this country profoundly the cause of nearly all of our current political turmoil. to obama it zimmermanly nevesimply neverhappened and ofn years of his policies had nothing to do with it throughout washington figures burst into applause what they heard that they don't want to talk about the dying middle class either they are not interested and don't want to be implicated so much easier to blame racism. staff to chuck schumer joins us tonight chris, is it that simple? the president said today if you read the speech carefully as i did, what most democrats have been saying for the last two years racism, all of this is racism. republicans rule people, the -- ruralpeople couldn't deah the equality and it was a

backlash against trump. >> yeah, i don't think that's really what he said today. >> shepard: it is what he said. >> i think it's rich for anybody to say that norms were not being followed today which is what you opened with today. norms have not been follow for the last 20 months with this president. >> that's true. >> every good american needs to stop by. rallying cry touted entire country. >> it was a campaign speech designed to get democrats auto licking countied. i'm not begrudging you. one if you are against overturning norms than surely it must bother you a a recently retired president is giving a campaign speech. we have a norm you don't do that he just did. since you are a defender of norms, you are thought bothered? >> no. i just don't think that the people who love freedom and love our constitution in this country should universally dislarm to a

president who has died to post every -- call him on the press including calling on the press to turn someone over to the government. the republican party used to think that okay was tyranny. don't you think that's more dramatical. >> tucker: whatever. it's such a talking point. theafn, then just don't ever lesson me about normals. again u it's it's bad for trump to overturn obviously he has. >> completely. >> he has. and obama just did it again today. but that's cool and what trump is doing is bad because stop lecturing me about norms, please. get back to the rates thing because it's real. i watched out speech again and again this is part of a long cycle in howard k. stern historyward we enfranchise certain groups in the country and certain reactionary elements hate that and that's how they

strike back. he just said that. he blamed this on racism. i'm asking you, is that really true what the about racism? >> i watched out speech and read it again preparing for the show. president obama said there are people in this country fear change that's what he said today. >> are there people in this country that have a racial element to their politics? of course there are, tucker, we both agree with that? >> first on that list. if you are obama fan sees himself as intellectual. shouldn't you mention the death of the middle class in your speech during his presidency the middle class for the first time in anyone's lifetime became a minority in this country. that caused a ton of anxiety that in my view that resulted in trump's election. he doesn't even mention that

no one ever mentions that. why? i'm serious. >> president obama took over an job and resuscitated including many industries that would have just gone away had it not been for the policies of the obama administration. you are right the middle class did take a hit curing the obama administration, doned in the bush administration as well. yes, i agree. th thing is i'm not a mindless partisan i'm not defending george s.w. bush. i'm not. i don't think it is. i'm thought here to tout republicans who i attack regularly on this show. i just want someone to stop lying and concede all of this is not about racism. it's about the death of our middle class which has sustained the country for a hundred years. call you admit that. >> i think the pressure on the middle class has absolutely contributed to our politics, kuker take it out in ways that are not necessarily good.

>> that's probably true. all right. >> i don't think this president is capable of doing it. >> tucker: maybe screaming racist will fix the problem. during his speech, president obama says that its time for women to hold more power. watch. >> out of this political darkness i have seen a great awakening, a movement of citizens who happen to be younger and more diverse and more female than ever before and that's really useful. we need more women in charge. >> tucker: he could have done his part, by the way, i think, i have got to check my notes but i think he ran against a woman. who woman who came closer than any other woman in american history by becoming president, he sabotaged her campaign by calling her does this sound familiar? a racist. her name was hillary

clinton. dan bongino former secret service agent and author spy gate the attempted sabotage of donald j. trump and he joins us tonight. i don't know why this doesn't surprise me, this is yet another guy who flies in private planes lecturing us about carbon emission and how we need more women to be in power who brutally savaged the woman who came close to becoming president? how much hypocrisy are they capable of? a lookout. he is also a guy in denmark stabbed didn't want the amount being paid disclosed cancel the speech. barack obama. tucker, this is very deliberate strategy by the left. listen to me. they live in a vacuum of ignorance. they don't have any ideas that appeal on a popular scale. i mean. what is the campaign sign going to read government tax hike. governor is too small beneed more of it racism line

coming out strategically. what it does, tucker, is it gets people to believe that the democrats don't vote for us. vote against those guys, the republican because they are the real bad guys and we are going to be the ones to cynical but very tactical strategy by the democrat. it's pretty disgusting. i hate it. >> tucker: what cost though because if powerful people get up and say anyone who opposes your ideas hates you because of your skin color, people believe that make all of us hate each other a little more its did, tucker, goes back to critical theory the white patriarch call power struggle. lid to this whole thing we are now. can you only do that by divorcing people from facts and data and getting them

knee deep in quagmire of emotion. only way to generate that hatred toward your opponent is to say the most awful things. is there anything worse you can call someone than a racist or big gout? out answer is no. that's why they do it all the time. >> i can't believe the last time i. had someone make straightforward. i would be glad to hear no mart what it was. serious intent moral character like tell me what the economics are no one does. >> they can't. >> you are right. they can't. that's a great point. dan bongino. thank you. >> thanks. we have got some news for you. former trump campaign advisor george papadopoulos was sentenced today to two weeks in jail. 14 days the sentence was exclusively for lying to federal agents. the judge said today

papadopoulos showed no desire to intep wash. clearly there wars no co-exiewtion band caught up in endless fishing petition t. petition knot one oath that i have evidence crime it was find. to be clear. washington more brazen in calls to end the current presidency without bothering to hold a vote. before they stop democracy, we would like to ask a few questions about what they believe and what they intend to do when they retake power. that's next. plus, today was the fourth straight day of hearings for supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. someone who spoke on the judge's behalf will join us just ahead ♪ ♪ ♪motorcycle revving

even an impeachment trial they are telling us, the cabinet can just end trump's presidency right now it's that simple. washington wants to democratically elected president because they don't like his policy and they want to do it without any election of their own sounds more like a koop than a feature democracy that's what they're calling for. maybe they will succeed in it. before that happens. the people hoping who regain power should have to explain why their ideas are better for america. so far they haven't done that they have talked a lot about norms called a lot of people racist tried to make anyone who disagrees with them shut up. political diversity as if that answers some relevant question. >> diversity patchwork heritage is not a weakness still and always will be one of our greatest strength. >> our diversity is one of our greatest strengths. >> our great strength lies

in our diversity. >> you know our diversity is a strength not a weakness. >> tucker: well, they all agree on that. hard to know exactly what it means other than stop talking or else. we won't stop talking. if the president is going to be removed from office without a single vote from anybody outside of washington, d.c. then we deserve to have some simple questions answered. we mean answered for real not just with a smear and ticket to hr department for sensitivity training. how is our curentd immigration system made america more stable and more prosperous in your answer please explain what happened to the state of california used to be the called the goldible state had a thriving middle class and had the country's best schools. now the schools in california are in complete disaster. of the middle class is vanishing and the nation's largest mass of impoverished people remains behind to serve a tiny pool of tech oligarchs. how did that happen?

next, how precisely is diversity our strength since you made this our new national motto please be specific. cuff say for example if other institutions such as marriage or military units in which the less people have in common the more cohesive they are. do you get along better your neighbors or co-workers if you can't understand each other or share no common values? please be honest if you answer this question. if diversity is our strength why is to okay for rest of you was surrender our free speech to a handful of tech mondamonopolies. i if your ideas are okay and true why does anyone who questions them need to be silenced or fired. after overcoming painful discrimination hatred why is it acceptable or encouraged to attack people on the basis of their skin color and by the way since we are asking, if it's now possible to change your sex, is it possible to change your

race, too? if not, tell us why and be specific after spending more than a trillion dollars and lies attacking afghanistan, iraq and libya and getting nothing for it why does it make sense to start new wars in syria and iran and after 30 years after the enter line wall fell why is it okay to ignore china. why is it it fair to use public resources to bail out public to economic collapse. which enterprises are eligible for tax dollars once they go bankrupt because of stupid decisions? since we're living by this princprince pell does it apply o my household budget, for example? and this, is san francisco better off covered in hypo dermic needles and human waste. how about detroit and gary indiana doing. weren't you in charge of those cities?

we have a plot more questions we could go on. start with those before canceling democracy washington should answer those questions first. we will start by asking them of clinton jane the founder of collective pac and he is kind enough for come on. thank you for coming on. >> thank you for having me, tucker. >> tucker: trump is bad, breaking norms. i don't work for trump, why would i defender it what we never hear about is the people who seek to take his place. people who came up with all the ideas that the republic reject to the extent that they elected donald trump. my question is have they repudiated those ideas. are democrats against it now? have their views changed? what are they for i guess is my question to you. >> thank you again for having me on, tucker. >> tucker: of course. >> hillary clinton more votes than donald trump so i

don't know if the republic repudiate you had the entire democratic platform there. >> tucker: 61 million people. it's a significant chunk i would say. >> no, of course, right. she still got 3 million more votes. neither here nor there president trump is our president. i think when it comes to what democrats believe in i'm excited about november when democrats will take over congress and we will see a democratic agenda move forward one that's talking about raising the minimum wage. one that's talking about reforming our immigration system. dealing your healthcare costs that are rising right now. i think what we have seen over the past two years in donald trump is a complete almost shut down moving anything forward in terms of policy. >> i thought we are mad because congress has done all these evil things and wrecked the country. you might want to recheck your talking points. i'm not here to talk about trump or congress. i want to know, for an charm are democrats who backed the

bailout ofs of the bank in 2008 killing in qaddafi in libya? are v. they rethought it at all. >> i'm not here to defend policy from the last administration. i think what we're challenging us right now is our current administration and, again, almost a complete stand still in terms of moving legislation forward. i think if you look around the nation, would we have democrats leading some of our cities and states they are taking the issue to the forefront and again moving things forward. >> tucker: okay, hang on, you make a fair point. you are right. i think they should fund the wall immediately. i'm sure you agree with me. he ran on it people want it. let's build that. when you say congress is not acting that's what you are saying. let me ask you this, we have a kind of case study here because the state of california, our biggest state is a one party state

run entirely by democrats. it was the richest state when i grew up there it's now got more poverty than any state. it's billions in debt. it will never erepay and its cities are cesspools. so would you say that that's kind of model for the rest of the country? >> tucker, the last i checked i think governor brown has a surplus for the first time in years in california's budget. >> tucker: no. just to clarify, california has more debt obligations than this country could pay. so, no, there is no -- the surplus that's just ridiculous. honestly. >> the facts. again, i don't think we should look at one state as a model to run our entire nation. >> why thought it's a democratic state. biggest state. >> between, we are not here to confuse out issues california will become the united states. right now. >> tucker: so, name, okay, i will make it easy for you. name a place that democrats

have run for at least 20 years and tell me reassure me that america will become more like that place. >> look, i think if we look at the past two democratic presidencies of bill clinton and president barack obama. [laughter] >> no. look at the economy. look at the jobs numbers, right? donald trump amazing economy. >> tucker: i know. >> george bush amazing economy. now if we look at what is happening in the country, he is taking credit for what we saw under barack obama. >> tucker: i gave you a chance to give me a -- quentin, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you, tucker. today is the third and fourth day. testified on kavanaugh's blawf will join us next. ♪ ♪

kavanaugh at the top of his list because the most important thing the supreme court does is constitutional interpretation and brett kavanaugh takes the constitution very seriously. >> tucker: well, that is a great sober honest endorsement. what do you make given the criteria you use to make that disismghts what do you make of the hearings and the posture of some of his critics? do you think they are evaluating this correctly? >> well, there is a lot of anger in the land on both left and right some folks may have made the decision that riling up the base worked for the republicans maybe we should try to do that for the democrats. i don't like that strategy. i thought the temperature in the room today metaphorically was much lower than in previous days. i have been watching things on tv and i was a little uneasying about going down into the snake pit. i thought today wally there

wption reproductive rights. they master language and try to shame other people when they try to speak the truth. you are right, collin kaepernick is just a guy employee who violated the one rule of every employee in the country that makes your talent outweighs your baggage and he didn't. he declared america to be racist. when you add in the fact that he read defenses like helen keller he is out of the nfl. [laughter] >> tucker: that's pretty funny. wait, i don't think you are giving his his due. nike told us he is the bravest person in human history. certainly american history. you served the united states marine corps in combat did you ever meet anyone as brave as collin kaepernick? >> i will tell you all the brothers in arms that i serve with none of them had the bravery to make $39 million in the nfl and then move on to get paid by one of the biggest shoe brands in the world. i have to tell you, i think he should get some sort of medal of honor whatever civilians can make. [laughter]

are you a piro maniac. >> no, i don't think so. we could think of other analogies or metaphors but most of the metaphors i could think of describe what is going on in washington would be entirely inappropriate on national television. so, i think the dumpster fire is a good one. >> you couldn't help but notice -- wait, i don't know if you can see the picture next to you on the screen. this is from your ad that you had up a couple of months ago. we showed this to our experts and they all point out the same thing there is a fire going on behind you and you do nothing to put it out. why is that? there is a dumpster fire but you take no affirmative action to put it out? >> we had water go on that fire at the end of that ad. >> tucker: but you play nod role. you seemed to be bipartisanning ibasking inits wo

douse it no signature mind freud. >> washington a lot of ways to clean that up get the money out of politics and that's the problem with both political parties. and we have president trump going to drain the swamp. they glowt a lot of conflict of interest. we need to get people out of washington have financial conflicts of interest. that includes the democratics $5 million -- >> tucker: hold on. there is a fire wait, hold on. it doesn't even make sense. honestly with respect. i know you are an attorney and law professor. there is a fire going on but you want to drain the swamp at the same time? is that even safe? >> no, what i'm talking about is we need to. >> tucker: i'm sorry i'm lost in met for land here. >> whether you want to talk about the strain of the swamp or putting out the dumpster fire or some other met for that can't be appropriate. >> tucker: don't you see how wreckless it is to do both? hear what you are saying, richard, take a step back here. fly like a drone above

yourself and look down and assess. you are saying there is a fire in progress but we must drain the swamp. would any responsible person drain the swamp in the middle of a fire? >> i didn't come up with the drain the swamp language. that was donald trump. he hasn't drained anything. he brought a bunch of backfill in new york new jersey and wherever he found with everybody come down with financial conflicts of interest. let's. >> tucker: are setting fires, also? >> financial conflicts of interest. they have the whole me too thing yet they can't figure out what's going on with keith ellison out in minnesota. the democrat would have. >> tucker: whoa, stop. and i agree with that of course. my question is do their problems qualify as a dumpster fire or merely maybe a malfunctioning microwave? where on the kind of heat scale would you put their problems? >> i sailed they are right in there with the republican -- washington,

d.c. is a dumpster fire and we are going to put it out until we get the money out of politics, get the politicians. >> basically, you take the republicans political dumpster and put them together and you have a conflation there. >> everybody accuses the other party of being corrupt. as i say they don't bother. >> tucker: the man who stood in front of a burning dumpster who did nothing to but the it out. we have got to go. richard, good luck. get the hose, take control, put out that fire. good to see you. that is it for us this week. be sure to tune in the show monday, we will be here and exclusive story about big tech, working to change the 2016 election [national anthem.
