fox news channel and online. we will see you back here tomorrow night. goodbye, everybody. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." the creepy porn lawyer's back. the ladies of "the view" are very concerned about america's declining f moral tone so they invited him on. he was creepier than ever. spine-tinglingly creepy. we will give you details. first tonight, in the state of california, a man of screaming obscenities about the president attacked republican congressional candidate ruby peters over the weekend. he tried to stab him with ait switchblade. meanwhile, here in washington police are investigating an

angry progressive who apparently threatened to shoot from supporters of the trump international hotel. the man had a twitter avatar promoting the democratic socialists of america. at the university of southern nevada, professor called mark byrd apparently became so enraged by trump that he showed up at school with a gun and was going to stage some kind of protest. in the end he shot only himself in the arm. it may say more about his competence than anything else. sort of amusing. sociology professor, of course. but the larger trend is not amusing at all. the left is moving from words to action. and why wouldn't they? their heroes are encouraging it. here's maxine watters posting just days ago that she threatens people she doesn't agree with, watch. >> and of course the lying president says that i have threatened all his constituents. i did not threaten his constituents, his supporters. i do that all the time, but i didn't do it that time. >> tucker: you would think that just a little over a year after progressive activists showed up with a rifle at a

congressional baseball practicep to kill republicans and shot four people, democraticct officeholders would be wary of talking like this, but they are not. where are their leaders? nancy pelosi brags that she will soon be speaker of the housese again and she may be. pelosi could do a lot for this country by speaking out against this ominous trend towards violence. it wouldn't take much, just five words. political violence is never justified. political violence is never justified. hold a press conference and say that, repeatedly, with vehemence. people would listen. it might even help her politically, doing the rightve thing usually does help politically. so we are going to wait and see if she does it. lou dobbs hosts "lou dobbs tonight" on fox news business and he joins us tonight. am i imagining that this trend is real and it's accelerating? >> you are exactly right and it is deeply disturbing because there is a certain wink and nod that is taking place in the democratic party, because they

are not denouncing this kind of violence, and it is building, whether it's on the street or whether it is in university of southern nevada. maxine waters actually calling on democrats to confront republicans in restaurants, anywhere they find them.an this is kind of cutely called trump derangement syndrome. this is far, far more than thatn there's nothing trivial about this. this is a threat against our very political system.. >> tucker: so democrats are joiners, they are herd animals. they believe in a party that the way republicans don't. if one of their leaders, if the potentially incoming speaker of the house were to say political violence is never justified, not hard, that would probably have an effect. will she do that, do you think? >> i don't think she would. i think it's too convenient foro her.ou it's too convenient for the left. they are being pushed to the

radical, they, being the democratic party, are beingd pushed toward the radical left. the farthest end of the spectrum that anyone in america has ever witnessed. this is a party right now thatat its establishment is threatened by that leftward push from the grassroots and, by the way, also from the leaders of the democratic national committee. perez, ellison, these are radical left wing democrats and that is where the party wants to be. nancy pelosi would be at once irrelevant and probably trampled by the herd if she even suggested such a thing. >> tucker: so you are saying that the establishment is afraid of its own constituents. it's afraid of the crazies on his leftward flank. >> absolutely. and it's constituents are -- the democratic party has become tribal in itself. people talk about tribalism within our society in modern america, but the democratic party is built up of a set of constituencies that

is warring with one another.bu they don't trust each other and they don't quite know each other and the result is, it is a party without discipline. a party without concurrence about the policies and the traditions and the values of the country that they want to embrace and right now they seem to be embracing none of them. >> tucker: so considering the democrats could very well win the house, they are certainly favored to win two months from right now, it matters, this question, which side prevails? what is the democratic party when the smoke clears? >> the democratic party right now is a socialist organization in the state of becoming. it is not appended to any of its history right now, the issues that matter, working men and women in this country of the middle class. they seem to not give a hootth about those traditional concerns of the democratic party and

instead become all about grievance, a group and identity politics and where that leads, i certainly could not discern. >> tucker: never leads to a good place. lou dobbs, thank you very much for that analysis. i appreciate it. >> good to be with you. >> tucker: thanks very much for coming on, robert. this is a question i've been mulling, well, since last june. whenever there's a shooting, a mass shooting, the left predictably calls for gun control. i can't remember a single casese where they didn't, except when steve scalise was shot. i didn't hear anybody on the left call for gun control in the wake of that. >> the call for gun control is because of the continuous and epidemic levels of both gun violence in america.a. i'm a pro-second amendment person. i own way more guns than you own, tucker.

>> tucker: i don't think that's possible, but thank you. >> i am from georgia. i own more guns than you can. imagine. but i think it's very important for us to understand that in america we have to stop deranged, mentally ill t people from having guns. >> tucker: i agree. >> we have to have some sort of metrics put into place that will prevent individuals from committing mass shootings at schools and other places. on this question of political violence, let's understand that the rhetoric has to be tamped down on all sides.s. >> tucker: can you just address my specific question about the steve scalise shooting. it's possible that i'm misremembering this but i don'tn think i am. the intensity of the calls forco gun control when a republican member of congress was shot seems to be lower than in the case of a school shooting and i'm not suggesting that democrats were in favor of shooting steve scalise, i'm not saying that, but i did notice that they weren't quite as loud and calling for gun control, can you account for that? >> i think they were just as loud. we saw the same reaction to the shooting of steve scalise as we saw the shooting ofe

gabby giffords a few years earlier. there have been calls from groups on the left throughout the last 20 or 30 years asking that we have a place in american society or we at least have some regulations, have some bars around -- >> tucker: we've done a million gun control debates but i guess i'm really getting to the question of what degree of violence democratic leaders will tolerate. i don't understand why nancy pelosi -- by the way, let me just say the obvious, there are crazies on the right too but right now there are more on the left and you just saw a couple of examples in the last week of violence. why would nancy pelosi who thinks she's going to be the speaker get up and say political violence is never justified, do you think she would be willing to say that? i don't think she would. >> i don't think nancy pelosi is the leader of the democratic party and most of the democratic base would like to seenk nancy pelosi not be the speaker of the house and in 2019 -- she doesn't speak to progressive, she doesn't speak to the younger generation. she's not the choice of the group of democrats to be speaker.on

>> tucker: congratulations on your good taste. i'm the point remains why wouldn't with you on that.ea -- i do think she's going to be speaker if democrats retake the house, who knows, but why wouldn't a universally acknowledged leader of the democratic party -- how about andrew cuomo? the governor of new york, why wouldn't he say political violence is never under any circumstances justified? you can't punch someone just because you think he's "nazi." it's not allowed. why would nobody say that? >> two points on that, one, you are asking us to believe that the same snowflake, blue haired limiting liberals that you've been decrying for all these years are now a violent political group was going to throw kale at you. you are saying antigun activists -- >> tucker: i don't think that. i live among liberals. they are my neighbors. they are actually very nice people.th i don't think they are for violence. what i think is that the leftward fringe of the party is now in charge, the adults in the room are terrified of the children, they are angry, they are violent, they are callingle for violence and the adults aren't brave enough to stand up to them. you see this on college campuses

all the time when the craven president cowers in the corner as the mob rips through the library. you know exactly what i'm t talking about. where are the adults? >> i think the adults in the democratic party have called to tamp down the violence but let's go back to what i said the last time i was here, the buck stops in the white house. as long as you have the white house that's calling the l press the enemy of the people, that is saying democrats are the enemy of the american people, then they will have these sorts of extremism and the response on both sides of the aisle. >> tucker: chose to be clear. i'm trying to track cause and effect here. the president says he doesn't like the media and so some nutcase tries to stab the guy running against eric swalwell in the bay area for congress. there's a direct connection between those. trump is responsible for the guy with the switchblade in california? >> tucker, understand, i'm notde an anti-trumper. i hope he succeeds. i don't think it makes sense for someone to say i hope the captain fails when you are on the ship with him..

i hope for nothing but prosperity and no war for then next eight years under president trump but i think we have to understand is the president sets the moral tone of the nation and the president comes out and makes it clear that we are working together, we are having bipartisan legislation of criminal justice reform, sl bipartisan legislatin to help the lower and middlele class of america to rise up in the country, we will see you c downtick in political violence. as long as people feel they have no voice in america -- >> tucker: oh, so, do what i say and it will be better. just be more obedient, we won't hurt you. by the way, my producers aren' just saying, and i didn't noticc that apparently nancy pelosi to some extent distanced herself from him and condemned the violence of antifa last summer. i don't remember that but i'm glad that she did and i hope she will do it again soon. robert, thank you.u. great to see you. >> thanks. s >> tucker: what if you think antifa is too violent? well, according to cnn, you are a bigot. we will break down the left's most common and laziest attack next. ♪ next.

♪ >> tucker: there are many unanswered questions about the moment we are living in. it's a very confusing one, but increasingly on the left there is only one right answer to anyi question, racism.re racism is everywhere, they are telling us. it's the sum total of everything. for many liberals, charging racism has become almost an involuntary habit, a tick like saying "god bless you" after somebody sneezes. if they may not even be aware they are doing it. watch for example as noted tv person jeffrey toobin reduces the complicated meteorological phenomenon of hurricanes to a single word, yes, racism. >> isn't the story that these people who died, apparently thousands of them in puerto rico, 3,000, as you point out, they are not white people and they don't count to donald trump as much as the deaths of white people. you hate to say that about someone, but look at his record, isn't that indicative of who he is and what he stands for? >> tucker: it's not an especially surprising point.

lots of media people say things like this every day. what's so striking about this is that jeff toobin is doing it. he's not a bad guy. personally i've always liked him for whatever it's worth. and unlike so many other people you see on television, he is not stupid. he wants are of the single best account of the o.j. simpson trial. a book that these days he himself would likely dismiss as, you guessed it,th racist. and that's actually the point.l. like an awful lot of other d people, jeff toobin is a product of the current moment, which also happens to be the dumbest moment in american history. speaking of dumb, that's actually what the president called maxine waters, a claim supported by some evidence, but to jeff toobin, you can imagine. >> but just how about this maxine waters stuff over and over again? low iq. how racist is that? >> tucker: he didn't explain how that's racist. in fact if you need to ask, you probably voted for donald trump which means you are racist too. >> a lot of people like the fact that he's racist and that's

the thing that we need to acknowledge. >> tucker: so how racist is donald trump?? so racist that when he criticizes a group of political? extremists comprised almost entirely of upper-middle-class white kids, that's racist too. huh? yeah, because the white kids wear black clothing, get it? black clothing. which of course trump hates because the clothing is black, racism again. >> let's be clear also about what's going on here. the theme here is, i'm donald trump and i will protect you from the scary black people. antifa is widely perceived as an african-american organization. this is about black versus white. this is about donald trump's appeal to racism. >> tucker: in yet another cable television appearance, he called donald trump racist for criticizing elizabeth warren, who, like those antifa kids, is also white, but also doesn't want to admit it. w pretty funny. someday we will wake up from all

of this insanity and wonder what the hell happened? how did we get so stupid? video clips like this will make for very embarrassing time capsules like that bad tattoo on your leg or that tape at the rehearsal dinner when you got too drunk and insulted the bride. it seemed like a good idea at the time. alex jones has been banned from all tech platforms. nobody said anything, so bigd tech's language police are getting bolder. according to the center for immigration studies, twitter refused to let them promote one of the tweets because it included the phrase "illegal aliens." that's not allowed. illegal aliens was routinely used by the obama administration to describe aliens illegally within the united states. twitter, once caught, now says the block was a mistake and has been corrected. executive director of the center for immigration studies joins us tonight. mark, thanks a lot for coming on. before we get to twitter, very quickly, the phrase "illegal alien," which is off limits i think the ap has said you are not allowed to use it in news

copy, et cetera, that's a technical phrase used on federal forms, is it not? >> sure. it's in the statute, the immigration laws, the federal regulations, even in supreme court rulings. in fact, in the recent decision a few years back, u.s. versus arizona, justice sonia sotomayor used it in her ruling. >> tucker: what? >> absolutely. this is a standard term. illegal immigrants in the law doesn't mean anything because immigrant means you have a green card. undocumented means nothing because obviously illegal immigrants have documents. it's a legal term throughout the government in the law and regulations, everything. >> tucker: if justicern sotomayor is using it, i'm using it. if it's good enough for her, it's good enough for us. tell us what happened with twitter. >> it's not nearly as bad as some other people have experienced.en they can't do to us what they have done to alex joneset

and others. our tweets are still tweeted and we don't seem to be shadowro banned. what we want to do is pay them to promote tweets. in other words, if that's what you've already tweeted, you pay them and it's kind of like an ad and they put it in other people's timelines as a way of driving traffic to your site. so we gave them a bunch that we wanted to do that for. some of them they said okay. several others they said no, this violates our hate rules. why? >> tucker: the phrase that sonia sotomayor used violates twitter? >> apparently. they didn't even say that. we looked at them and they all had illegal alien or criminal alien in them. so we said that must be it. we said, please let us know specifically what's hateful about this because other ones weren't that you did accept moneyhe for. what's the story? and they just sent us back a kind of a boilerplate response that didn't say -- that didn't even say, no, you can't use the word "illegal alien."ga if that were the rule, at least we would know that was the rule. they seem to be almost capricious in this.

or they are banning the use of it without saying that's what they're doing.g. >> tucker: you've seen this same exact cycle of events with other people, so they will ban somebody, shadow banned somebody, they will basically t shut people's ability to speak right down. when caught, when exposed on television, usually on thiss channel, they will say it's a mistake. we didn't mean to do that. >> they haven't told us it's a mistake. our reaching out to them, we just got the usual response. >> tucker: they said the same thing to kayla paul, candace owens. so since you are involved in the debate over public policy every single day, how important are social media to people with different views from the establishment? >> this is the way the public debate happens nowadays. this is the soapbox that we now have public debate on, whetherpb

it's twitter or facebook or other outlets like this, there w is no other place. if you can't talk on twitter, or facebook or what have you, what are you supposed to do? >> tucker: once they shut you down, people they disagree with, the debate doesn't happen. >> that seems to be the point. >> tucker: i ask this question everyday. what you think conservatives in the congress don't see thisha as the mortal threat to debate and speech that it is? >> i think some are starting to see it, but maybe not enough yet. chairman bob goodlatte had a hearing on this over the summer specifically addressed this issue that social media were trying to skew political debate and prevent certain voices from being heard, but it hasn't become a high enough priority issue. >> tucker: we are going to try to change that. thanks very much for coming on. >> thank you. >> tucker: we showed you in this program how google employees worked to help get hillary clinton elected and how

>> tucker: an internal video >> tucker: an internal video from google, tape of an all hands on deck meeting was obtained by breitbart and shows the reactions to the 2016 w election. while speaking to employees, cofounder sergey brin made his feelings about the election very clear. watch. >> most people here are pretty upset and pretty sad because of the election.y as an immigrant and refugee, i certainly find this election

deeply offensive. >> is there anything positive you see from this election? [laughter] >> that's a really tough one right now. >> tucker: wow. all will little matching hats. it's like "1984."it elsewhere in the video, which ih long and worth watching, googlew executives vowed to take action against fake news and combat the trump administration's immigration agenda. those vows and the companies increasingly obvious and overt political orientation are just as interesting now with the ftc holding hearings tomorrow to investigate what really is a rhetorical question, is googleoa monopoly? executive director of the campaign for accountability, which watches google, he joins us today. here's the question: is google a monopoly? i think most people say obviously it's a monopoly. experts will testify tomorrow. can we trust what they say? are they not aligned? >> what we have done is analyzed

at the ftc hearings and we found that one of one-third of the experts testifying have ties to google. they work for law firms that google has hired or they have been paid by google directly to write papers. >> tucker: they have financial ties? had they disclosed this? >> that's the problem. none of the people that we found who had financial ties to google have disclosed those financial ties. they will disclose that they are a part of a nonprofit thatfi google has funded or that they are part of a law firm that google has hired to do legal work. so the ftc should be concernedle about whether these people are providing independent, unbiasedo testimony. >> tucker: if i'm working for marlboro and i'm called to testify on whether smoking causes cancer, shouldn't i say that i have taken money from the cigarette company? >> that's exactly right. all these other industries are much better at disclosing this information. for some reason the tech industry is very bad att disclosure. >> tucker: wouldn't a word for that be corruption?ke

>> the rules aren't explicit. you don't have to exactly disclose who you are working for, but the ftc maybe should look into adopting rules that require all of its people -- >> tucker: this raises, i think, a really interesting question that's been bothering me for over a year as we've been doing the story again and again. why is nobody else talking about this? >> i think that's a really good question. >> tucker: could it be that a lot of people in washington have been paid off? i'm starting to think that.e >> we've been looking into google for a year ando during the obama administration google had a meeting in the white house once a week. google hired 250 former of the obama administration to work company. >> tucker: 250? >> they have huge and obvious ties. that's certainly a problem why nobody wants to look into them. there are state attorneys general who want to look into them but it's hard to get traction in d.c. >> tucker: so many employees and none of them would come on our show. you would think it would havee articulate employees who would tell the truth and come on, right? >> they won't even go before

congress, either. congress had a hearing with the tech companies last week. twitter, facebook was there, google wasn't there. they can't defend their behavior. congress was ready to ask themhe tough questions. google didn't provide anybody to answer the tough questions. >> tucker: they're working on behalf of the chinese government to send the propaganda to keep them under the control of the government but we shouldn't worry that they have a choke hold on information. >> that's a lot that you just said there. >> tucker: [laughs] it's all true! >> i think we should be worried about power and control that google does have. >> tucker: i agree. dan stevens, thanks very much for coming on. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> tucker: two nights ago we told you about an email that senior google employee sent, in the email she said that google had made "silent donations" by assisting a left-wing advocacy

group called voto latino in their campaign to bus voters to the polls in 2016 to help hillary clinton get elected. we talked to google, they have not explain to us what a silent donation is, instead they simply denied making one. what is a silent donation and would it violate campaign finance laws? cleta mitchell is a very well-known campaign finance expert and she joins user tonight. google's position appears to be we didn't send any money in the direction of this group, but would a donation have to be in the form of u.s. currency? couldn't it be in the form of services? >> absolutely. that's known as an in-kind donation and we don't know exactly what they did, but what we do know is that this executive who managed this fairly comprehensive, robust program to enhance and get thema latino vote out in 2016, andus used corporate resources,

remember, all of these lefties, they always attack corporate contributions. they attack corporate money. this woman was using her budget, her corporate money from google, to turn out latino voters. and she specifically said -- this is not just an email. this is a four-page memo describing what she oversaw and all the various things they did. targeted states such as nevada and florida, so they are going into battleground states, and they are doing it with a 501(c)(3) organization which is prohibited by law from engaging in partisan campaign intervention. so there are multiple laws here that are implicated. we would just like to know what all they exactly did, but frankly, if they made a contribution knowing that it was for the purpose of influencing a federal election, that's an

expenditure that is supposed to be reported. let me just say one other thingd it is only legal to make that expenditure because of citizens united, which is a supreme court decision that all the leftists hate, but it permits them to make the expenditure, but they are supposed to disclose it and if they made a contribution to a 501(c)(3) organization that was engaged in partisan campaign intervention, that organization has violated the internal revenue code.sa >> tucker: we are in irony town.. my favorite part of the whole memo was her total surprise that latino voters didn't do as they were told and vote exclusively for hillary clinton.n. it was the most patronizing thing i've ever read. >> i had exactly the samee reaction. >> tucker: like that's ridiculous! people should vote how they want to vote and not on the basis -- it's disgusting. >> it is very disgusting. >> tucker: great to see you.

>> tucker: hillary clinton, who's got some free time, joined in the attacks today. she tweeted this. t "i want to be sure that we are all clear about something that brett kavanaugh said in hiss. confirmation hearings last week. he referred to birth control pills as abortion-inducing drugs. that set off a lot of alarm bells for me, and it should for you, too." what clinton and harris aren't telling you is that they are taking kavanaugh grossly out of context. that's usually an excuse in washington when someone is caught saying something embarrassing, you are taking me out of context, but in this case, it's literally true. kavanaugh was actually saying the view of a religious organization. the phrase was not his or his personal view, apparently. it certainly wasn't his phrase. since they won't show it, here is the full clip. pay attention to the first two words of it. >> they said filling out the form would make them complicitit in the provision of the abortion-inducing drugs that they were, as a religious matter, objected to. >> tucker: they said!

the critical two words. dana perino hosts "the daily briefing." she's obviously on "the five" everyday. you already love and trust her. thankfully she's been following this pretty closely. i wonder if this is counterproductive, something this obviously misleading. >> interesting you use at that. just about 10 minutes ago "the hill" newspaper put oute a headline, "the leftist attack against kavanaugh could face a backlash for them" and i think that that's absolutely true. first of all, kamala harris was a prosecutor. words seriously matter.te she tainted with the evidence. that should be grounds for being thrown out. cory booker was also found to be shown to say something that was not true in his "i am spartacus" moment. it is shocking that it was two days after harris admitted they had done this.g then hillary clinton tweeted it and i saw even people on the left saying this is why you lost. enough with you, we don't need any of that, but one thing he didn't mention is there's a group up in maine that ise

basically trying to bribe the senator, senator collins, into voting against kavanaugh. she is not necessarily inclined to do so. she's republican. she's basically said he's not done anything that would cause. her to vote no, but they started a crowdsourcing site -- crowdfunding, excuse me, where they would raise a million dollars and donate it to her opponent -- the only way the guy gets the money is if she votes no. >> tucker: they are trying to extort her. >> you just talked to cleta mitchell about in-kind contributions. there is even a question, is this even legal? and it might just also be a publicity stunt, but they did raise over a million dollars. the phone calls to her office, b you read that article, some of them are just so vulgar that i do think it is a backlash. they don't have a way to fight against brett kavanaugh. i understand they are very frustrated, but the way to win is actually win at the ballot box. you are not going to win here. >> tucker: interesting.

there are some smart people in the democratic party. i know them. >> definitely. >> tucker: they know that barring some unforeseen act of god that he is going to sit on the court, they can't control that. so why are they doing this? >> part of the reason is the base is very agitated and they want someone who will fight, that is why you might not wantin to count out kamala harris in 2020. she has shown that she is willing to fight very dirty and she doesn't have any shame in doing so and perhaps that mightt be what it takes because remember the whole thing of at least she fights. even if the fighting is wrong. they don't care that the evidence was tainted. t >> tucker: it seems to me that that shouldn't be rewarded. i understand toughness as a prerequisite to winning. that is absolutely true. you have to be tough, but do you really want a system that encourages people to be more dishonest than they would be otherwise? >> let's give a little shout out here to the media, who actually covered the story about kamala harris and this video aboutt brett kavanaugh.

>> tucker: tell us i ♪ >> tucker: tell us if you recognize the script, if it sounds familiar. "donald trump has violated vital and cherished norms in this country. he has lowered america's moral tone. he has turned our national conversation into a tawdry sideshow fit for "the new york post." you hear that a lot in the media. sometimes people yell it at you. they seem entirely convinced it's true.l the ladies on "the view" are convinced it's true and today they decided to fight back. to make this country a little t more wholesome. how did they do that? they gave three segments of their show to a newly-minted political pundit who has spent her career having sex with strangers for money. along the ride was her creepy s porn lawyer, who even by her own standards, and we know a lot about it, was especially creepy today. watch this. >> comments from tucker carlson and some of these other pigs that are men that make these comments belong -- >> pigs are the smartest animals. >> no man should be making

comments like that about a woman, period. >> tucker: so don't invite that guy over to babysit. not that you would probablyba consider it. but also know he's not going away. and this is the key thing to know about the creepy porn lawyer.. he may be running for president. how is that possible, you ask? ask the people who are promoting him on television. he's a perfect candidate. he says more about them than about himself. tammy bruce is a new york radio host and president of the independent women's voice. and she joins us tonight. every time we do a creepy porn lawyer segment i think i hope we are not encouraging or promoting guy but then i look over at "the view" and they are literally encouraging and promoting him.ri to think you feel reckless during that? >> i think that it says all kinds of things about them. we see what the attitude is of that man and his client and yet they are kind of opportunistic entrepreneurs. because of the notoriety of her accusations against the president, she has appearances

at strip clubs across the country and they sell out and there's a lot of money and i don't know how she's paying the creepy porn lawyer, but i think he has an interest of course in that profile remaining high. in this nation we usually have a word for men who do encourage women to sell themselves for sex. it may be the women of "the maybe the women of "the view" should ask for a piece of the money being made in the process of her notoriety. i'm not want to tell women how to make a living. here is what we do know. we know that pornography degrades women, that women are to be used like dirty dish rags, that buying and selling women is normal for sexual gratification. and that is something that americans reject. we reject it for our daughters and our wives and our girlfriends and our sisters and our moms. so this is not to be normalized. it's insulting to suggest that it should be and until you've

got a 5-year-old who says when i grow up i want to be a porn star, we know that little girls have different dreams and different ideas of what they can become. for stormy daniels, this is whaa works for her and we all find, our level. we can all determine in that regard what she's doing. l i would love the creepy porn lawyer to run for president because it reminds us what the left has become. you, he called you a peg. little did we know that now many would come out and suggest that we can live better lives and treat women better that now that is the piggish position. who saw that coming? >> tucker: everything is orwellian. that was so good i couldn't sto> you. great to see you tonight. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: unfortunately hurricane florence is closing in on the east coast of the united states.s. it could be one of the strongest hurricanes ever to make landfall there. thankfully rick reichmuth is up to tell us what to expect, what this is going to look like, how bad.

still a category three storm. that just means the strongest one -- the strongest winds. that hurricanene force winds extend out about 140 miles from the center of it. we are talking about really strong winds that are going towards the show. by tomorrow morning we will have tropical storm force winds. by the afternoon we should have hurricane force wind and then we are expecting to see it hang out on the shore here. that's our big problem. probably a good 48 hours of it right here on the shore, the battering wind and waves in the prolonged period of rain. some spots potentially up to 40 inches of rain by the time this is done. >> tucker: 4-0? >> 4-0. >> tucker: that's it for us tonight. we will be back tomorrow night and the next night in the next night because a lot of it is going on and we are going to cover it because it matters. so come back to the show that's the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink, but don't imagine that your night is over. you're probably digging up the remote and thinking i'm goingpt to bed, i'm going to have a

beer. do not, for two reasons. one, big breaking news. the storm is coming, a lot going on in politics, but mostly sean hannity is right now and you're not going to want to miss that. >> sean: he talked about getting a beer -- no! >> tucker: i'm telling people stay tuned! >> sean: what a way to sell it. don't get your beer now. wait until ingraham comes on at 10:00. what is that? get your beer before. have a great night. great shows in it. welcome to "hannity." a lot going on tonight. hurricane florence, you see it on a collision course with north and south carolina. if you are in the evacuation zone, please get out while you still can. sadly, not everyone is taking hurricane seriously. for example, the editorial board of "the washington post,v i'm not making this up, floating an insane conspiracy theory that president trump is responsible for the storm. this is not fake news. this is literally trump sickness derangement syndrome
