my unlimited 2% cash back is more than just a perk, it's our healthcare. can i say it? what's in your wallet? tucker carlson next. good night, everybody. >> ♪ ♪ >> tucker: welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." trump rally in progress in iowa. council bluffs, iowa, right outside of omaha. if news happens, we will go there. first we want to bring you up to speed on what is happening here in washington. the crack political team over at the "washington post," our dailh local newspaper, has uncovered a brand-new species of fake news they think you need to know about: imaginary left wing mobs. in a piece posted last night, "the post" explained that in order to win the midterm elections, those republicans have "cast" the trump resistance movement as an angry mob.

"cast" is of course here a synonym for misrepresented. the "washington post" wants you to know these mobs are not real. they are an illusion. and that may surprise you. because you may have recently seen videos of prominent republicans being chased out of restaurants by screamingn progressives. you may have read news accounts about how a republican congressman was shot with a high-powered rifle by a bernie sanders supporter. you have seen college campuses descend into rioting simply because conservatives showed up to talk. just this past weekend, you may have watched transfixed as groups of hysterical young people yelled at republican lawmakers on capitol hill and then pounded in rage on the front doors of the supreme court. all of this may have given you the mistaken impression there is a threat of disorder and lawlessness from the left building in this country. some of it funded by a man the "washington post" neutrally describes and we are quoting, as "philanthropist george soros." well, rest easy says "the post."

in fact, all of this talk of left-wing mobs "taps grievances about the nation's fast-moving cultural and demographic shifts." in other words, this is racism. it's designed, says "the post, "for the benefit of white voters, particularly men." wow.ig so the angry left-wing mobs you thought you had been watching on television turned out to be merely a hallucination. they are a fever dream concoctet by those diabolical magicians over at fox news. thank heaven. you can wake up now. none of it is real. it's 1996 again. but wait, has anyone told the angry left-wing mobs about this? they seem to believe that they exist. in portland, they are still blocking traffic and breaking things and screaming at old ladies in wheelchairs. apparently they don't get the "washington post" in oregon. watch. >> [screaming] >> [bleep]

>> [screaming] >> [bleep] >> [bleep] >> [shouting] >> [bleep] >> [screaming] >> [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] >> tucker: don't believe your lying eyes. now, some reports -- there haven't been many reports -- but some describe the protestors you just watched as antifa. others say they are black lives matter. it doesn't matter. what you are looking at is the youth wing of the democratic party. these are their shock troops. listen to maxine waters and cory booker call them to arms. >> go to the hill today. get up and -- please get up in the face of some congress people. >> if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gas

station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they are not welcome! >> tucker: go get them! get in their face!r: well, they obeyed. the left always obeys. obedience is the whole point of their program. >> tucker: well, thanks to incidents like the one you just saw, the ones the "washington post" assures you are real, -- not real, didn't really happen, and you have no right to be worried about, people across

the country nevertheless are becoming concerned. now, that's racist says "the post." because of course being yelled at by rich white kids and not liking it is racist, but nevertheless, kelley paul, the wife of senator rand paul says she is so concerned about what is happening that she keeps a loaded gun by her bed. watch. >> so many frankly unhinged people and unstable people out there and when they hear on their side telling them "get up in their face," they take that literally. they think that gives them a license to be very aggressive, be harassing. it does scares me that there is going to be somebody that is really unstable that takes that message a step further. we have updated our security systems at home. i sleep with a loaded gun by my bed. i used to feel safe. used to never even lock our doors. now that has all changed. >> tucker: well, the "washington post" might call mrs. paul paranoid. on the other hand, many on the left openly celebrated when her husband wound up in the hospital after being assaulted by an angry liberal.

>> my husband had 6 broken ribs and was seriously injured. violently assaulted. to have people like cher and bette midler laughing on the internet and lauding his attacker, it's like, well, what kind of person are you that you think that is acceptable? >> tucker: well, that's a fair question. and the video we just showed yoe is real video. we didn't make it up in theid basement to scare you or to win a mid-term. assessing everything you have seen over the past year, you might be tempted to conclude that just maybe there is aen growing problem with left-wing mob violence. but left-wing leaders and their propaganda in the press have concluded the exact opposite. faced with one left-wing riot after another, they have decided the problem is actually you. you are the problem sitting at home. you are dangerous. in the "new york times", paul krugman accused the republican party of harboring authoritarian impulses.

apparently republicans have been chasing prominent democrats out of restaurant recently and banging on cars. oh, wait. there's that projection thing again. hillary clinton is so worried about how dangerous the republican party has become, those angry mormon grandmothers in black bandanas you're seeing in portland smashing windows, that she no longer considers republicans americans or even fully human. according to hillary clinton, you no longer have to be civil to republicans. you can do whatever you want to them because they deserve it. >> you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for,iv what you care about. that's why i believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the house and/or the senate, that's when civility can start again. >> tucker: yeah, when we win, civility can return.iv so there you have it. the perfect distillation.n. there is the most recent democratic presidential

candidate, the leader of herit party by default endorsing viciousness openly against her political opponentsl yet according to the "washington post," a newspaper, this is what republican extremism looks like. you would have to be crazy not to see it. andy ngo lives in portland, oregon. he's a journalist at quillette. he's been following this very closely and he joins us tonight. so andy, we played a bunch of videos, some of which you publicized, about what is happening in the streets of portland. i don't even know what your politics are. i just want to be clear. were those right-wing protesters? were those republicans in the streets of portland? >> they were not. >> tucker: hmm. they were not. who were they? and what was the point of this? and how much coverage did it get in portland?th and did any civic or political leaders in portland raise any kind of outcry about this, the violence? >> some of the footage you

showed was recorded over the weekend on saturday by brandon farley. that was a protest organized by "don't shoot portland" which is a black lives matter type of group. they were protesting the police involved shooting of a man who is suspected of shooting two people. well, the police here take a pretty hands-off approach must of the time with protestors. what you saw on saturday in the video is that demonstrators were allowed to take over a street in downtown portland and direct traffic and threaten drivers. stop traffic while the police looked on from a block away because they were afraid of inflaming the situation. >> tucker: did democratic political leaders in portland denounce the violence? >> not as far as i know.

i mean, i know the story right now is being framed in a pretty partisan way on your show. the facts of the matter on hand is the portland mayor ted wheeler also doubles as the police commissioner. i am not privy to some of the internal conversations he may have with the police department here. just based on other events thath happened in the past, i would say there is sort of a dereliction of duty of upholding the rule of law. >> tucker: one might be tempted to come to that conclusion. the "washington post" doesn't agree, but i do. thank you very much, andy.y. good to see you. thank you for putting that online.os >> my pleasure. >> tucker: quentin james is cofounder of vestige strategics. we don't agree politically but we can agree that people banging on doors with batons threatening old ladies is unacceptable.

why isn't it being denounced? >> it is unacceptable. there are larger problems at hand. the violence we are seeing across the country isn't really coming from the left but actually from the right. you could show clips tonight of dylann roof preparing to kill people in a church in charleston or clips of many of the other white supremacists who have gone on and killed people, like in charlottesville last year. >> tucker: no, no, no. hold on. wait. wait. >> no one is calling for violence on either side. >> tucker: well, yes, you heard maxine waters say get in people's faces. >> that's not violence. she is calling for peaceful protest. >> tucker: if you scream at someone to the point where they have to leave the restaurant, that's an act of wild aggression. is that happening to a lot of democratic lawmakers? can you think of one?

>> i don't think people should be obnoxious with their protests. i'm sorry? >> tucker: can you think of a. case where a democratic politician has been doxxed chased out of a restaurant or screamed at on an airplane? i understand the both sides argument but don't understand i it. >> in 2010, people showed up to the congressional townhalls with loaded weapons. i don't know how we distinguish that from violence, showing up armed. >> tucker: right now in -- you've seen a lot of people. >> we have one party rule in washington. >> tucker: what about the 250-year-old tradition of explaining what you are for and explaining what the other person is for is wrong? where did we get to a place where officeholders encourage

young people -- hillary clinton said you no longer have to be civil to people you disagree with. what do you think of that? >> what hillary clinton is saying is what we are not seeing leadership to hold president trump accountable. >> tucker: that's not what i am quoting. that's a debatable point. we don't have to guess. she said it. you don't have to be civil to republicans because they are too big a threat. she wasn't saying -- >> you can't be civil when a party is not following legislative protocol. >> tucker: hold on. you don't like trump, i get. i am not talking about trump. i don't care about trump. i care about the rest of the country. you are not required to be civil to people you disagree with? do you want to live in that country? >> i am not calling for incivility. >> tucker: i get it.

i get it. i lived through years of obama. i know what it's like to be frustrated. i thought he hurt the country. >> there are similar protests from people on the right. >> tucker: why don't you say hillary clinton, that's not helpful. can't you say i think we should continue to be civil. >> the challenge here is we are not seeing that level of accountability from the republicans. >> tucker: i am happy to criticize republicans all the time.iz i am not a partisan robot. people on the left will never criticize anything. all all right, okay. >> president obama got criticized when he went against the will of the party. we saw that for eight years.ay >> tucker: last chance. will you just say hillary clinton is wrong? just be civil even if we disagree. >> i don't think she was calling for incivility.

>> tucker: [laughs] okay, they are barking at me. thank you. whoa! well, kavanaugh is on the supreme court and many are arguing that we need to keep going after him for some reason. in fact, impeach him. for what? we have someone who can perhaps explain. and actor steven segal has russian citizenship and the press is saying he may run for governor of siberia. we are going to talk to him just ahead. also the president speaking right now in iowa. if news happens, obviously we will go there. when you retire will you or will you just be you,

quotes. it was a joke what the fbi did. he's not talking about impeachment. some are, i will concede that. chris coons. cooler heads are saying it's a waste of time. if the senate is close to where it is now, it's futile. >> tucker: continuing to the investigation into brett kavanaugh, to what end? i don't think as a political matter it's working for democrats. as of tonight, doesn't seem to be winning new voters for the democratic party. how does it help the country exactly? >> the whole point of what the democrats will do in the house is be a check on trump that has not been in effect. whether that's his dealings personally with women, whether it's his tax strategies, whether it's dealings with the russians, both his staff and frankly -- >> tucker: democrats are going after trump on his personal life? is this a new theme?n have you been naughty? [laughing]

>> do you remember when there was bill clinton? >> tucker: i remember it well and smart republicans regret that. they lost seats. it was stupid, a waste of time. bill clinton is a creepy guy that mistreated women. should we have impeached himn. over that?t most people think no. democrats are repeating the same behavior. >> i think the democrats' attitude is show the country how things are supposed to work. it's not a question of their personal life. if you have the fbi do an investigation, have the fbi do an investigation not constrain it so you know what answer you will get. >> tucker: one of your leading presidential candidates came on this show and said the problem with trump is he violated his marriage vows. i am for marriage vows. i have been married 27 years. i didn't know this was the new democratic standard. the adultery rule is in place for the democratic party. does this apply to everybody?? seriously. >> no.

i think the fact of the matter is what the democrats are going to run on this year is, as you said, health care, dealing with corruption. >> tucker: making sure you have not committed personal sins. are you evangelicals? evangelicals that don't believe in god? >> as regards to brett kavanaugh, it's not what he didn back in high school. >> tucker: oh, it's not? so his yearbook is cool now? >> it has to do with lying. bill clinton was impeached fort lying, but this is "boys will be boys." >> tucker: so whatever the side does that we hate we will be certain to do? >> you are trying to clean up the way congress acts. it's been a rubber stamp. i think the public is looking for a check which is why it looks like the democrats will control the house. if hillary clinton had become

them speechless with rage. they have been raging for two years. they are eager to vote. any additional motivation they get out of the kavanaugh affair is likely to only be a modest increase of where the needle already was. republicans on the other hand were looking sleepy. a lot of them don't like trump. he has kind of a divided party. the kavanaugh case clearly hasng changed the equation there. all of the polling evidence shows the motivation among republicans is up. as far as kavanaugh, republicans got more out of it but they had a bigger gap to close. >> tucker: the last day to register in a bunch of different states and registration has been intensen today. what did you think of hillary clinton's remark made to a british journalist that the rules of civility ought to be suspended when dealing with republicans? seemed like a moment.

a fascinating new report for the centers for immigration studies has found that helping illegal immigrants have children is a bigger priority for our government than defending the border. steven joins us tonight. thank you for coming on. how did you measure this priority? >> right now, we are looking at census bureau data. they ask people every year, several million people if they are immigrants and had a kid in the last year., you can pick out those who are likely illegal immigrants. that's what the government does to estimate. when you do that, you find that there are 300,000 births to illegal immigrants each year at a cost of $12,000 for the two-thirds that are paid for by taxpayers. $12,000 is what is costs to have a kid in the united states. that does include care for the child after he is born. if you add that up, it's 2.5-billion dollars a year we pay for births to illegal

immigrants which is more than we spent on any kind of new wallal construction. >> tucker: does that make us good people or masochistic crazy people? h >> well, a couple of things about that. if someone is here and having a kid, we will pay for it if they don't have insurance and two-thirds of illegal immigrants don't have insurance. since the kid is born here and is a u.s. citizen, it may make sense to do that. the larger question is, to tolerate this and not try toe encourage people to go home and not stop them from entering. that does seem masochistic. >> tucker: if you tolerate something consistently over decades, you are welcoming it, ren't you? >> right. if we have a situation where illegal immigrants can get everything from a driver's license to benefits for theiril children, in-state college tuition and jurisdictions that don't cooperate with immigration enforcement.

you have to say it's almost amazing we don't have more illegal immigrants in the united states than the ten to 12 million. >> tucker: steve camarota, great to see you. thank you very much. actor steven seagal received russian citizenship a couple of years ago. some say he may run for office there. we will talk to him about that after this. in this new book "ship of fools."k stay tuned. the fact is, there are over ninety-six hundred roads named "park" in the u.s. it's america's most popular street name. but allstate agents know that's where the similarity stops. if you're on park street in reno, nevada, the high winds of the washoe zephyr could damage your siding. and that's very different than living on park ave in sheboygan, wisconsin, where ice dams could cause water damage.

the u.s. he joined us to tell us about that. i want to get to your film first. i read one critic say it was the best you had done in a long time. tell us about it. >> i also think it's best film i've done and over 20 years. it's a kung fu movie but really it's just the wisdom of what i consider to be a man who rises to the occasion of helping those who are in tremendous need and becomes a reluctant hero. it has all those different scenes to pull the heartstrings of the people, the public. it's got great action, great story, great characters, great chinese stars. i am proud of it. it's a wonderful movie. >> tucker: a lot of people need rescuing right about now. tell us the other news story about you recently, that you are

considering running for governor of siberia. tell us about that. why, if that's true, what you would do if elected. >> this is one of the millions of fake news sort of stories. i was at a film festival in vladivostok. somebody in the audience had hey, we don't have a governor. do you want to become the governor? i said sure. there it went. at the same time, we said 30 times, we were joking. vladivostok, a friend of mine became governor there the next day. it was a joke that the press enjoyed doing bad things to certain people. >> tucker: i'm not surprised by that at all. you are a russian citizen. you are in russia now. give us your perspective on the debate over russia taking place in the united states right now. >> i have said this before.

i believe this is a situation where there is a tremendous amount of propaganda against russia and in my opinion, most of the things that are being said are fabricated and untrue and i think this whole thing with russian collusion and the president of the united states being involved in russian collusion, i think it's a fantasy. i think this has more to do with the great divide between republicans and democrats and the conservatives and the liberals and how at this point, you know, certain groups will do anything in the world. they don't care of its legal, illegal, immoral. to win this battle where their agenda triumphs. i really think, and i've said it before, we are at a tipping point in the united states of america where if people don't realize that republicans and democrats really at one point

have to start to work together in a more stable fashion, and agreed to disagree and understand that the truth and civility will really help the process of true politics instead oftr destroying our nation. f >> tucker: you are in russia a lot. you talk to russians. what do they make of this? are they following t it? what do they think? >> they are completely bemused. some are laughing and some are crying that the basic consensus as they are finding it astounding and hard to believe that so much is being made of this and a lot of these, you know, accusations against people like kavanaugh and they just are finding it, the people i talked to her finding it just incredulous. >> tucker: yes,, i feel the same way. you know putin. what is he like? >> he's a brilliant leader.

i think that if we would come to terms with trying to deal with russia, and some of the other countries in eastern europe and so forth and so on, as if they are equal partners, i think it would go a long way to world peace. >> tucker: washington's obsession with russia. it's a distraction from the problems we face. for than anything, it's -- they're all the reasons. it's explained in "ship of fools." in your bookstore come online. order it if you want to know what happens. that's about it for us. a it's an honor to do the show for an hour. will be back tomorrow at

8:00 p.m. we are the sworn enemy of mine, pomposity, smugness, groupthink. dvr if you can figure it out. good luck. good night from washington. guess who's next. the president, he just wrapped up a raucous rally in iowa. 28 days to go until the most important midterm election in our lifetime. that is four weeks from tonight. the president is pounding the campaign trail across the country. the senate, the house are very much up for grabs. it will be up to you in 28 days. you have the power to decide the future. the immediate future of this country. coming up with a breakdown tonight, the most critical
