tv Tucker Carlson Tonight FOX News September 25, 2018 5:00pm-6:00pm PDT
5:00 pm
senator lindsey graham. that is our story this tuesday evening. live from the rooftop here on washington, d.c., we will see you back in new york tomorrow night at 7:00. tucker carlson is coming up next with his show, straight ahead. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." it's been more than a week since a california psychology professor named christine ford accused judge brett kavanaugh of committing some form of sexual assault against her back in 1982. they were both high school students of the time. ford's claim has stopped cavanaugh's supreme court nomination in place. washington has been consumed with the debate ever since. a number of republicans are said to be undecided on kavanaugh's guilt or innocence but they would like to hear more from christine ford when she testifies. strikingly though, every one of
5:01 pm
them plans to defend kavanaugh. and now this wrinkle. now these allegations, and a leading democrats calling these new claims powerful, compelling and highly credible. they are all but daring republicans to question new accusers and the victims they say must be believed. here's a selection selection of the charges. >> i saw bridget bishop with the devils. >> i saw somebody else with the devil. >> >> tucker: that's a scene from "the crucible" which as you may remember it was arthur miller play about the witch trials.
5:02 pm
miller wrote it as an allegory about the mccarthy hearings. mccarthy hearings were a period that the left deeply hated when they took power and re-created it themselves. now you wonder if progressives still read miller's play and if so, are they outraged by it? it might seem completely reasonable to them. bob accuses villager of witchcraft and they deny it, because i always deny it. the witch can't prove without a doubt that she is in fact a witch so to the stake she goes. chris would understand this reasoning. he has been making the same case about brett kavanaugh and public recently. watch and explain it. >> it is judge kavanaugh who is seeking a lifetime appointment to the supreme court and i think bears the burden of disproving these allegations rather than dr. ford and mr. ramirez. >> tucker: so even those of
5:03 pm
you that are absolutely dead certain that brett kavanaugh is guilty, because you saw it on cnn, would have to admit this does put him in a tough spot. brett kavanaugh no longer has that protection so it's up to him to clear his own name. he has to figure out how he can prove that christine ford's foggy 36-year-old memories are wrong or his daughters cannot grow up learning about how their data as a sex offender, that's his choice. and, democrats are demanding that kavanaugh called down yet another but democrats want another. the only way he can show he's innocent of these charges, various and dumb people on television agree with this and nod their heads in unison.
5:04 pm
but what that really work? is that the purpose of fbi investigations? joe biden doesn't think so. keep in mind that biden is both an attorney and former chairman of the senate judiciary committee. watch this. >> the next person that refers to an fbi report as being worth anything doesn't understand anything obviously. fbi explicitly does not, in this or any other case, reach a conclusion. period. >> tucker: okay we fooled you again, that's joe biden from the 1991 joel clarence hearings. he was on the other side of the debate then so he obviously had completely different views than the ones he holds today. democrats know that of course but, so what, proving or disproving a recovered memory is
5:05 pm
not the point. the point is destroying brett kavanaugh. most democrats don't hate him personally, there's nothing personal about any of this. kavanaugh stands behind the democratic party and the power it seeks. he's in the way and he must be crushed in the case of his wife into little girls. sorry, that's a cost of winning. no omelettes without some broken eggs. the problem is that outside parties in d.c., people out there don't understand that. why wouldn't they believe it? that's the only other thing that never changes ever, human nature. there is a mob instinct in people. the every population, wise leaders know that, why is leaders feel that.
5:06 pm
you can tell the mob is building by the way people to start talking, like this. i think there's a compromise here come and hear me out on this. so kavanaugh gets confirmed to the supreme court. okay, in return we get to cut that pesky of his off in front of everyone. >> tucker: so that's what we are, castration. medieval moments call for medieval remedies and this is definitely a meeting of. so ethan, are you comfortable with this and are you comfortable that once you are accused of something, you should be the one to disprove the accusation and it's up to you to prove what you are saying about you isn't true.
5:07 pm
>> i think what we have to have is a hearing of both sides, and i think we will have that from dr. ford. and that's the suppose it witnesses that have occurred. it's not up to process, this is like a job application. >> hold on, let me back up. you are arguing something parallel to what i ask you. i'm in favor of all of that, the question is what do we make of your party leaders, members of the judiciary party saying, we have at least three democratic members of the judiciary committee saying that in plain intro, english. prove you are not guilty, are you comfortable with that
5:08 pm
standard that's an un-american standard? we've never seen it before and it's happening now. i want to know what you think of it. >> i'm not comfortable with the scenario, when they say, prove you are not guilty. and i've been consistent about this throughout the entire me too movement. when there is single accuser it's hard for to call for somebody's job to be lost. when we have multiple accusers coming forward, plus michael avenatti is teasing another one, then we have a pattern and we need to look very deeply into this. >> tucker: does it occur to you that we have a pattern of people making charges that they can't substantiate to achieve political ends? is that a possible explanation for that or am i a sexist for suggesting that? >> we have two really big issues. one, i don't like that politics is the blood sport that it is today. the democrats had on the letter, but politics is politics.
5:09 pm
they sat on it to try to delay it. but what's happened now is, we have women who are being slammed and slandered, attacked in disbelief and in the middle of them me too movement, it's time to get them their due. >> tucker: hold on, it's not about all men and all women. it's about brett kavanaugh and christine florida. the case is specific. we are not putting men on trial or trying to exonerate women for the crimes committed by our ancestors, we are talking about those in the senate judiciary committee. you are suggesting that you are not allowed to just believe somebody but i retain my right of reason and, she's claiming that this man sexually assaulted her and alter the close of her life. she can't fly in airplanes, she can't have a relationship with
5:10 pm
men. she didn't tell anyone his name for 36 years during which time he got married and a career. doesn't she have an obligation to tell someone to stop him from doing that if he is in fact a criminal? where is her obligation here? >> every psychologist will tell you there are eight primary reasons why a sexual assault victim, a trauma not come forward. >> tucker: i'm not asking about her reasons. the odds are 120 million in the first place. if he's actually a criminal then we have a right to know that and she has an obligation to tell us. i know it's hard, but why doesn't she have the right to know? if bernie made off rips you off and you don't tell his other investors, you are part of the problem, are you not? >> dr. ford did communicate with her therapist. >> but she didn't name him for a
5:11 pm
36 years. i'm saying if it is true, what's going on here? don't the rest of the us have a right to protect ourselves from this dangerous man, brett kavanaugh? >> hang on. you have a very powerful person here, a judge on the ninth circuit. >> tucker, you were just talking about the privileged elite and the wealthy and those in power. that was brett kavanaugh from day one. he went from an elite school, that's calling for something is to change. >> tucker: it you are intentionally dodging my question. which is about the responsibility to protect the rest of us. i think it's not just about her, and her feelings, your responsibility to others around
5:12 pm
you and a society at large which we are ignoring a purpose because we are terrified to see what's true. let me ask you really quickly about the creepy lawyer. all of a sudden, this guy who was the lawyer for stormy daniels jumps up and down and makes a spectacle for himself, and the press kind of attacks that and makes a joke. >> michael avenatti is a beast. >> that is true. >> jon meacham said he may be the savior of the republic. >> he has a bigger calling here. the priesthood or whatever, he's out there saving the country. >> i owe michael avenatti on apology. the last few weeks i've said it, enough already. i was wrong, you have a lot to say. the democrats could learn something from you. >> tucker: so they are promoting him from the very start, and that was fine.
5:13 pm
but the press is now starting to fall for its own joke. taking creepy born lawyer seriously, and, it's not about one specific allegation, it's a series of allegations. this is a pattern of behavior, rachel, that took place across many months and many years. i believe that when these allegations are surfaced within the next 48 hours, there will be no question that brett kavanaugh does not fit to sit on the u.s. supreme court. >> he hasn't provided the allegations needless to say. this guy is a buffoon. the consequences are serious, why let this charlatan intrude on the process? why are they allowing him to take center stage? >> michael avenatti is taking a page out of trump's own playbook. but here's the difference, michael avenatti has brought the
5:14 pm
good since he started representing this clifford, stormy daniels. but in this specific case, he suggesting -- he has nothing to do with any of this. he saying that brett kavanaugh was part of a rate ring. he's not going to get sued for slander, so do democrats want to be tied to someone that reckless? >> i don't know anything about the allegation of a rate ring, but he claims to have our very well that it out reliable accuser. and i'm very interested companies teasing it out over 48 hours, and that time hasn't quite made it out yet. again, he brought the good since he started representing stormy daniels. >> he certainly made some money as stormy daniels is getting beer bottles thrown in strip clubs around richmond.
5:15 pm
but he's your presidential candidate so i guess we will find out. ethan, great to see you. senator kirsten gillibrand husband may be the most opportunistic of all and declaring brett kavanaugh guilty without evidence to support it. so for the first time she has put her own ambition over what's true. a reporter who has followed her closely joins us next. ♪ or worry about a thing. i'll see you all in a little bit. and i fixed it right away with a strong repair they can trust. plus, with most insurance a safelite repair is no cost to you. >> customer: really?! >> tech: being there whenever you need us that's another safelite advantage. >> singers: safelite repair, safelite replace. when it comes to making bones stronger, are you headed in the right direction? we are. we have postmenopausal osteoporosis and a high risk for fracture.
5:16 pm
so with our doctors we chose prolia®. to help make our bones stronger. only prolia® helps strengthen bones by stopping cells that damage them with 1 shot every 6 months. do not take prolia® if you have low blood calcium, are pregnant, are allergic to it, or take xgeva® serious allergic reactions, like low blood pressure; trouble breathing; throat tightness; face, lip or tongue swelling, rash, itching or hives have happened. tell your doctor about dental problems, as severe jaw bone problems may happen or new or unusual pain in your hip, groin, or thigh, as unusual thigh bone fractures have occurred. speak to your doctor before stopping prolia®, as spine and other bone fractures have occurred. prolia® can cause serious side effects, like low blood calcium; serious infections, which could need hospitalization; skin problems; and severe bone, joint, or muscle pain. are you on the path to stronger bones? if you're not sure. ask your doctor about prolia®. where we're changing withs? contemporary make-overs. then, use the ultimate power handshake, the upper hander
5:17 pm
5:18 pm
5:19 pm
they measurably get more than i ever got. and i get to do that. i get to provide that for them. >> tucker: there are about 100 u.s. senators -- not about, literally, but a half of them have decided to keep brett kavanaugh off of the supreme court no matter what. but there's only one kirsten gillibrand and she stands alone and how frequently she due process out and getting politically. >> i've heard from both sides and i believe dr. christine blasey ford and i believe ms. ramirez. you have women who are telling stories about what happened to them and accusing judge kavanaugh of violent behavior and sexual assault, of behavior that is disqualifying. >> tucker: that was harvey
5:20 pm
weinstein's personal friend of senator christian kirsten gilln new york. seth, when you see senator gillibrand position herself as a defender of all women everywhere, what's your response to that? >> i don't know how it is that she has heard the two accusers and agrees with them because as she said anything yet? i don't think so. but senator gillibrand has a very long history of embracing whatever is expedient and dispensing with whatever is no longer expedient. she was elected in 2006 as a conservative democrat. now the motto was basically her mentor and arrange for her to become senator after hillary clinton became secretary of state in 2009. she was a conservative, she had an a rating from the nra. she had been a philip morris attorney.
5:21 pm
and when she became senator, she quickly attacked left. one thing she said this year that i thought was very revealing, i asked why when she used to support deportation of illegal immigrants and now she was on board with the dreamers, she said, welcome i came from a district that was 98% white and she said this is something she's embarrassed and ashamed about. >> tucker: so she's embarrassed and ashamed of her former constituents who lost her political career, after she was a cigarette lawyer. and i think she worked for harvey weinstein's law firm as well as being good friends there. so when you see this former friend of harvey weinstein's and bill clinton's, who knew all about their reputations of women abusers and said nothing, do you think it's a credible posture for her? >> i mean it's consistent for her. this is exactly what she has done throughout her entire career. remember a few years ago she
5:22 pm
brought ms local weights, the mattress girl come in to the state of the union address. this was a woman who as a performance director claimed they wanted to expel her, but he was found to be not culpable. >> tucker: so the who wasn't a. >> the who wasn't a. senator gillibrand has seized this issue in the me too movement, and the question of harassment is her issue. this is how she's moving forward. >> tucker: is there anything she won't do? we will find out soon. please keep covering it. one female observer of the brett kavanaugh saga is says his story is missing critical details, details that would be needed to determine if he was guilty or not. she joins us to explain, next. ♪ at's why there's otezla.

>> tucker: she just wrote a piece that christina ford's of an assault by brett kavanaugh is missing essential details and the rest of us need to assess it. penny young and nancy joins us tonight. i think most people watching this came in with a pretty open-minded. i know feminist say, no one believes wrong, but most of us want to believe. but it's hard because our missing details. >> first let me tell you i'm coming at this as it woman who was a victim of it and attempted rate and physical assault when i was pregnant with my first child and i've written a whole chapter in my book about that issue. i've advocated for victims of sexual violence and the debbie smith act and, this is an important issue to my heart. i care about justice and that is the missing piece.
5:28 pm
we do believe that a person is innocent until proven guilty in this case and, we have judge kavanaugh in a possible position, people have noted this. i want to believe that women are always morally superior to men, but the duke lacrosse case and lena denham's book, and even going back to classic literature like, to kill a mockingbird, we know that's not always true because we are a broken people. >> so not every woman always tells the truth in every incident? >> sadly that's the case. we know that you don't immediately become more moral because you are a woman. that's why justice must be blind. justice has to be blind to everything. gender and race, socioeconomic sand age, and we are counting on that. if we get away from that notion, it's dangerous for our nation
5:29 pm
and dangerous to everyone in our country. >> so it's dangerous of people are judged on their race. >> absolutely. now listen, i believe women. and i think we have a right to use our voice and speak up, and as a victim we have to have the opportunity to come forward and share our perspective. we also need to understand that we deserve to give justice to everyone in this nation and if someone from america is therefore judge kavanaugh, we still support him. if something changes and is actually proven that he is a predator or anyone sitting on the supreme court today, we would be the first people calling for impeachment, we would be leading the charge. but that's not where we are. in fact we are doing a women for cavanaugh kavanaugh rally at 8:30 a.m. until 9:30 a.m. and any of the reviewers who want to come would be welcome. this is an important moment for conservative women to speak up
5:30 pm
on this issue. >> tucker: megan fox writes at pj media and she just wrote a piece telling parents how to christine blasey ford-proof your son. so what does this mean? how do you get accused of something? >> there is no total prophylactic of course but i would tell them that first when they are young, for sure, take them to church and give them a moral standing in life. teach them about their dignity as a person and the dignity of others. the second thing is, to avoid drinking. stay sober and avoid girls who drink. avoid these drunken parties that can be used against you in 30 years and also, always act as if you are going to have a position of authority and a high position and act accordingly, like the mike pence school of thought. don't be along with a woman who is not your wife.

5:32 pm
genetic cake. and most women i know are deeply suspicious of other women's motives. did you notice that? >> that's because we know what we are talking about, i am a woman and i know the facts, women are just as easily evil as men. >> tucker: i just -- obviously i know you are right but it's hard to convince me. megan, thank you very much for that. >> think you, tucker. >> tucker: while the left is losing control and it is consumed with hysteria over brett kavanaugh. now anyone who knows kavanaugh thinks he's a decent person and is fair game for physical harassment. that's happening in washington. we will show you how, next. ♪ he'd be proud of us.
