tv Tucker Carlson Tonight FOX News October 1, 2018 5:00pm-6:00pm PDT
5:00 pm
it's not a big sweeper were all women are bright and all men are wrong. >> democrats who have come on, without even these meetings on dr. ford that they believe her. >> martha: we'll see you tomorrow. tucker carlson is up next in d.c. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." we have some pretty interesting news out of the state of minnesota for you this evening. member's member keith ellison has been accused of physical abuse by his former girlfriend, a woman called karen monahan. she said that in the middle of a domestic argument congressman director of the bed while screaming while screaming obscenities at her. she's had this happened just two years ago in 2016. we can't say whether karin's story is correct or if you weren't there. we do know that these are serious allegations and they are specific and recent and made against a powerful man.
5:01 pm
he is a sedate member of congress and he's also the deputy head of the dnc. under pressure from critics the state democratic party pledged to investigate her story. tonight we have their conclusions. "egg allegation standing alone does not necessarily sufficient to conclude that conduct occurred." that justified by the top lawyer of the democratic party. in other words her words don't mean anything. unless she provides a tangible proof, we don't believe her. let that sink in for a minute and let that up to mike and all you've seen. this is the standard of democratic party politicians use to judge their own. at least one political power is at stake. otherwise, shut up and go away. meanwhile in washington, brett kavanaugh faces a very different standard. a little more than a week ago a woman named julie told a remarkable story. she claim it as a college
5:02 pm
student during the early 1980s she attended at least ten parties outside of washington where high school boys took turns rating underage girls who were with drugs. it took place in the open. she said she saw them but you never told friends. she never filed the police reports. she kept attending these parties until she herself was getting. according to julie, brett kavanaugh attended these parties and she saw him standing in line waiting his turn. here's how she described the scene and an interview with nbc news just tonight. >> my body was violated. my soul was broken. i was at a party and i remembered that i started not to feel very well. the next thing i know i was shoved into a room and i am having my close torn and different directions. i was physically assaulted in
5:03 pm
every way you could possibly come up physically assault a woman. >> everyone is wondering if one of those people was brett kavanaugh. >> i cannot specifically say that he was one of the ones will assaulted me. before this happened to me, i saw brett kavanaugh there. i saw mark a judge there. they were hanging about the area where i started to feel disoriented. and laughing. i could hear them laughing and laughing. if brett kavanaugh was one of the people that did this to me, there is no way in the world that he should go scot-free on this and that he should be on the supreme court. >> tucker: if he is one of those people, claim that she is not actually making. judged on its own terms on the things that she is saying, her story raises more questions. why does she keep going to rape parties? where the witnesses?
5:04 pm
dozens of people must've seen him. not a single person has admitted even appearing about any of this. that is hard to understand given the close knit community of catholic schools that produced brett kavanaugh. she has provided no evidence of any kind to show this is happened. reporters have interviewed many of her classmates and nobody recalls that. the whole thing is hard to believe and many questions need to be answered before can be taken seriously and yet chuck schumer hasn't asked those questions. he heard her claims and immediately called for brett kavanaugh to drop out of the running. they agreed with that, he called his allegations a gut punch, " if my republic colleagues have any sense of morality they will refuse to move forward with judge kavanaugh's nomination." the democrats are demanding that the fbi investigated the story. so from that is not happening, why is it not happening? maybe here's part of the answer. this is nbc's megyn kelly, watch or explain.
5:05 pm
>> this was 18 years ago. that company claims that she told him she graduated from john hopkins but they learned this school had no record of her. she also falsely described her work experience at a prior employer. they said she engaged an unwelcome defense of conduct herself. she made allegations against her coworkers and they had been inappropriate with her. they said she took medical leave and unemployment benefits. there was a restraining order followed against her by an ex-boyfriend. the people who were very upset that the fbi is not looking onto her allegations, there are reasons for. >> what a shock. >> he's been begging for tv cameras. >> tucker: it takes a lot of guts to say that on nbc. if you are fairly concerned about rape victims and their are rape victims, a lot of them. you would hesitate before repeating those claims, that would discredit the victims.
5:06 pm
democrats don't care, couldn't work politically and that is the only point. more than two weeks since the brett kavanaugh saga: , only senate republicans still believe the story had anything to do with sexual abuse. last friday democrats had they needed a couple of days for interviews to follow-up on christina ford's claims. let's give this one week says senator amy klobuchar, her fellow democrats nodded solemnly. poor jeff flake believe them. today, you will be surprised to know this, democrats are saying that a week is not enough. the fbi will need a lot more time. who knows how much time? the only to interview everyone who's ever made a claim against brett kavanaugh. including julie sputnik, maybe the editors of the yearbook also. just a week? it is a cover-up. jeff flake may call for this again, everybody else knows exactly what is going on. it is not about brett kavanaugh at this point, is about punishing everyone who looks like brett kavanaugh. watch this. >> as a man i was embarrassed
5:07 pm
for him. it was the ultimate display of white entitlements. at the top two men over the weekend i found it the harder you go on the income curve, the more men are like, well we all did this. still not getting it. women are getting it and i find the lower you go on the income curve, men are getting it. >> tucker: if you are his drink he might understand what he just said but if you or not he wonder what in the world this story, the brett kavanaugh story has to do with rape. nothing. everyone and it is the same color. you'd be missing the point. democrats are looking for justice here. they want a revolution. for 60 years they've been telling us that it is a moral to judge people by their skin color and they were right about that. absolutely right. they put up a monument of martin luther king just in case we forgot. and he had suddenly without notifying the rest of us they
5:08 pm
have changed the rules. anyone who doesn't judge others on the basis of skin color, is a bigot. refuse to commit racism? >> martha: a racist. as your head spinning at? it is just starting. wait till you see this. here's had a saturday night live treatment of lindsey graham over the weekend. he was one of the few republicans that democrats could stomach and that he stood up for brett kavanaugh and now he is a monster. a very specific kind of monster. watch this >> you let him do whatever he wants. this is my addition for mr. trump. and also for a production of the crucible. let me tell you, i was good. >> tucker: let me tell you queen, get it? lindsey graham is secretly. that is what nbc is telling us and they are implying that there is something wrong with that that he ought to be deeply
5:09 pm
ashamed of that and mocked for rights. wait a second, when did liberals start using gay as an episode? isn't that against everything they supposedly believe? only if you assume they believe anything, but they don't. it is only about power. the radio host and president of, tammy i have to say i'm getting used to the idea that if you argue against judging people on the basis of skin color that you are racist. >> sure. >> tucker: now the left, guardians of americans gay community are using slurs against lindsey graham? what? >> regard regardless of what y, the left is this all the time. if they don't like somebody they want to smear someone. that is the accusation to some degree. you are supposed to believe that somebody is a monster and as a result they are gay. >> tucker: this is from the left? >> of course.
5:10 pm
my first book in 2001 was about homophobia, sexism is all rooted on the left. all the finger-pointing on the right is rejection. when you see the impact on women in these last couple of weeks, they don't care about women. women are to be used. they don't care about gay people, they are to be used. the same issue with the race. if it can get them something, that is what they will say. ever know again the curtain gets drawn back. you are seeing the panic. what they really think it's coming out. whether or not to their constituencies who they think arc will put up with it, that is the issue. will there be a push back on effectively, clearly the mocking of someone or the attempt to paint someone with the scarlet letter? >> tucker: if you are the human rights campaign and you exist to collect and punishes behavior, how can you set did
5:11 pm
not say anything? >> we are going to watch that aren't we. everybody gets trained on the left that the ends draft justifies the means. no matter what we have to do, yet be able to deal with it because in the end we really mean the best for you. it is very much like a battered woman or a battered man. if they say, i'm doing this for your own code. even though it hurts you in the end, they say they know best and that is what the left has been doing. look at the end result, it is economic decline. the end result is the decline of the quality of our life. certainly not being able to take seriously for who we are as individuals, whether 'tis women or person of color. of course, denigrating everyone else. the people who are white or just don't fit within the framework of who he protected classes are for the left. >> tucker: i am learning more about the left than i ever wanted to know and i'm glad i didn't read your book in 2001
5:12 pm
because i would've been upset. >> these last two weeks have been shameful. they been in and salt every single american. all of us who rely on decency, treating people fairly, expecting americans to stand up for their ideals and the very few people who say they are banner carriers have that are the ones were burning it to the ground. >> tucker: just the opposite, amazing. tammy bruce, thank you. as we just told you the left somehow, amazingly out of nowhere is making a brett kavanaugh saga. it's about a lot of things, it is not about a race but they are making it and they're telling you that certain people of a specific race and gender are bad. they deserve to be hurt, possibly. details ahead. the president is at his speech, stay tuned. >> our hearts bleed red, white and blue. ♪

5:17 pm
april ryan and bill marr said calve not being growth for sexual assault is white privilege. watch. >> it was a sense of entitlemen entitlement. this is mine. >> it was such a pageant. when people ask what is white privilege? this is a pageant of it. >> poll >> tucker: they didn't explain what it means or how it works, "abc news" political analyst published an op-ed demanded that "white male christians" should vacate their positions of power for other people. he's not doing that himself but he did not notably advocate for. a georgetown professor called christine did do that, she recently tweeted this "look at this course of entitled white men justifying a serial irrigated entitlement.
5:18 pm
all of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gaps. bonus:we castrate their corpses and feed them to respond? yes." georgetown has issued a statement defending her, marjorie is the founder and she joins us tonight. what you think of that? do you think it is within bounds of reasonable political discourse for a university professor to call for? >> no. no i don't. i don't think that is a helpful statement. >> tucker: would you add any other superlatives to that? how about immoral and disgusting? >> it is not creating a dialogue and it is not adding to an environment that addresses the real heart of where people's concerns are. >> tucker: these aren't your remarks come i'm not holding you responsible but a normal person would say are you joking? killing people? can't we say this is totally over the top and calling for violence based on their race, we are not for that?
5:19 pm
or are we for that? >> it is not how i would talk. >> tucker: how about disgusting? >> sure. >> tucker: i want to get to the core principles. i was raised to believe that you are not allowed to attack or judge people based on their skin color. we have a whole monument in the mall, we still for that or have we moved on to something else? >> what we have arrested in this debate and why does coming out to this white male christian conversation, what we saw in the optics of that trial was about to gender. it really is about who we believe in a situation which is her against him. that was a very hard thing for a lot of people to have to reckon with because what we do know is that 97% of companies are represented by white men under not representative of the labor force. >> tucker: let's start with principles, are we allowed to judge people on the basis of their skin color?
5:20 pm
>> of course not. >> tucker: but you are though. that is what you are saying. yes you are. you just said that it is bad that companies have too many white people in this. if you are looking at this and the perspective of martin luther king he would say that that is wrong. right? >> it i'm to tell you is that the workforce was largely built by white christian men and that is not a bad thing it is just a reality. when you look at issues of fairness like we look at issues of fairness in this case and in this trial. it was about who was being represented and how are we hearing it? are we understanding it? businesses are seeing it. >> tucker: you can't keep going with that i'm not tracking. i'm not playing games, i don't get it. so the race of the people sitting in the senate matters because why? >> the gender i would say even more. >> tucker: there are differences between genders that are real and biological and are verifiable. we don't believe that about race
5:21 pm
though, do we? we think certain races have more wisdom or more honesty than others? >> no, of course not. >> tucker: then why is race relevant at all? >> it is creating a larger conversation about diversity. >> tucker: it is causing people to attack people on the basis of race and liberals are endorsing it including you, what changed? >> martha: of i missed? >> i would not endorse that but i would say there is unhelpful conversations that are related but not about this particular trial. >> tucker: would it be fair to say someone who attacks white mayor, you're not allowed to attack people on the basis of their skin color ever period. if you don't like being attacked, don't attack a race? >> absolutely. >> tucker: april ryan and all these other people are going on with these racist attacks, it is okay to call them out? >> i wouldn't have a conversation that way but i would say that when i am talking about representation, the companies you and see this and terms of productivity. when the increased diversity in
5:22 pm
their leadership by 10% aca 1% increase in earnings. that is the productivity reality. >> tucker: that is not actually a real statistic, it has made up and it is much more complicated that. [laughs] i love that statistic. >> it means nonwhite men. that is what's hard. let me be clear, i was raised by a white christian man. he is very much understands and sees issues from a different way like you who is a father of many daughters. as we go into the workforce. >> tucker: i guess were all racist now? i i thought we weren't. >> what we are as human beings. >> tucker: we are out of time unfortunately, a sickening conversation but i appreciate you taking part. rachel mitchell has expressed a letter expressing her beliefs on the allegations after last
5:23 pm
week's hearings. in that memo she says, it is he said, she said in the prosecutor would press charges. lisa boone as paul does closely. >> hey tucker. >> tell me about her conclusions. >> her conclusions, basically she goes through all of these various inconsistencies that we have seen in her story. the problem is, she has remained unquestioned by the media and the left and that is dangerous because if you are bringing life altering and life ruining accusations against someone, your stories should be questioned. one, every witness that she has named has denied it. you go back at the fact, she is different given the periods of. she comes to the conclusion that in "the washington post" article, it was the summer of 1982. she has different stories about how many people were there and her polygraph letter alone, she has two different versions. originally four people in that edges four boys and two girls. even if you give her the benefit
5:24 pm
of the doubt, was at 36 years ago? maybe her memory is just not straight and then you go to the recent problems. she's had chosen a member of "the washington post" got her therapist notes. "the washington post" said that she provided them to her. she can't remember when she had the polygraph test. there is a complete farce from her and her attorney to be able to fly but it turns out she has fly to hawaii, close to rica. we have seen all of these inconsistencies, not just long-term memory but from recent ends. however nobody has called her on it and i think the reason is being every one is so afraid of the me too movement. so afraid of these bullies on the left they are afraid to call. her story is not credible it doesn't add up. she >> tucker: you been great on this from the very beginning. >> thank you tucker. >> tucker: this was not the country we were promised. i i hope this and soon.

>> tucker: having convinced poor jeff like to weeklong investigation, judge kavanaugh somebody scrubbed it in an elevator which is how democracy works now. democrats are not trying to dictate the scope of the investigation as if they are in charge of congress which things to jeff flake they are. in a letter released today, democrats have called to the bureau to investigate all three a la allegations against brett kavanaugh including julie's fantasy about gang raped. at a bare minimum about their allegations, not quite as impressive. he joins us right now. professor, thank you for coming on. are we right to be a little bit misled when democrats and public told us on friday, three days later, that they want christine ford's allegations investigated
5:30 pm
for a week and now the goalposts are so far down the field we can't see them. should we poke we have been lied to? >> i think the least convincing part of the democratic case is that this was not being manipulated in terms of its timing. i think most people believe that these allegations were held to the last minutes. right before the vote. i think there is a legitimate criticism for that. also i think you want to anticipate that one week is not going to stratify many of the critics. the fact is that most of these statements, not all of them were previously given to the committee. they are unlikely to change and so the outcome of this investigation is unlikely to change many minds. we are going to get to a point where we have to make a decision. if senators fill at the record is insufficient they have a reason i supposed to vote on that basis. to keep this open indefinitely, it is going to do an injustice to the nominee and to the process. we have to come to some
5:31 pm
conclusion. >> tucker: julie sputnik's claims that they were a series of at least ten gang rape's that took place, nobody's ever heard this and it has never been alleged. do you think this rises to the level of credibility that would spur an fbi investigation almost 40 years later? >> sums up the fbi is not going to investigate that allegation. part of the concern for many people is that this is an extraordinary allegation with no one going to the police. previously or any accounts being published as to what occurred. for that reason i think the fbi is focusing on the earlier two allegations. >> tucker: do you expect that republicans will be able to reassert control? >> martha: i think they do run the senate. if in enough time, mark judge has been interviewed again under oath. we are done. can they do that? >> of course that can and it
5:32 pm
does appear that mcconnell was going to push this through. he said there's going to be a vote of this week. the timing is a little bit curious because the fbi was given a full week that would end on friday presumably a lot of material would be given to the senate on friday. it is not quite clear how the logistics are going to happen for the fbi to be concluded on friday, presumably and also of the vote on friday. >> tucker: thank you very much. great to talk to you. senator tom cotton is a republican, he represents the state of arkansas and he joins us tonight. senator thank you for coming out and i mean that. we try to get any republicans from the u.s. senate and come here to make the affirmative case, for two weeks you are the only one who said yes. i am watching of surrogates go out to go out and called him a sex offender. where he the only republican willing to come on tv and make a case for him? >> tuckered is pretty one-sided. that army of surrogates needs to get a lot bigger at their going
5:33 pm
to take me on. judge kavanaugh has a stellar record on the bench. he is a long distinguished history of public service and he has undergone a six background checks, six background checks. somehow the fbi is supposed to turn up new information in just a few days and satisfy all the democrats. as senators we agreed to have a limited investigation by the fbi and the current credible allegations and we don't say there are none but to humor the them, to give them a few days we started moving the goalposts. if you interview people it will take weeks and on. it will never end tucker. this is not about trying to get the facts were the proof it is trying to stop brett kavanaugh from being confirmed to the per supreme court. >> tucker: would i find so striking that he is a sitting federal judge. he offers scores and scores of opinions and we are not debating any of them. his judicial philosophy is not given up for debate. it is all about his high school yearbook.
5:34 pm
does that strike this conversation as unbecoming as a country as advanced as ours? why? >> it is pretty amusing to see democratic senators pouring over high school yearbooks as if it was a da vinci code. amy klobuchar, condemning brett kavanaugh for uncorroborated allegations for 36 years ago, then amy klobuchar stands by keith ellison is accused of beating his ex-girlfriend just a few years ago. with contemporaneous medical and police records. it just goes to show that the democrats are engaged in a smear campaign to assassinates assast kavanaugh's character because they will start nothing. >> tucker: finally a u.s. senator to make the case. very ably made, thank you very much. good to see you. >> thank you tucker. >> tucker: nancy pelosi says that whether the party succeeds or fails in keeping brett kavanaugh off the supreme court,
