they had me in the dark about abortion. >> shannon: important will become a good to have you here tonight. that is our story for this tuesday night, we'll be back here tomorrow night at 7:00, tucker carlson us up next. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." political campaigns are all about how you finish, can you be more popular for your opponent, for months, for years, forever. if you're less popular on election day, you lose, it's all that matters. it's a simple truth but it's easy to forget, democrats may learn that the hard way soon. up until a few weeks ago, virtually every democrat in america considered the upcoming midterm elections a certain win. why? they looked at the numbers. the majority of voters remained unsettled about donald trump and

if an election as a referendum on him they believe the republicans would lose and lose big. what if it's not all about trauma? what if there's another side to the equation. there is an democrats have just reminded the country of that. it all began with brett kavanaugh, democrats had a plenty of ideological reasons to oppose his nomination to the supreme court. he'd written hundreds of hundreds of decisions that they barely mentioned any of that. instead in their frenzy to oppose all that trump endorses they tarred kavanaugh as a they tried to destroy his family and his life. evidence and due process were irrelevant. if you didn't agree with that, they would scream at you. >> and i believe her, i believe what she said, it rings true to me. >> i believe here, a large number of americans believe her.
5:02 pm
>> tucker: those are not ideological attacks, those are stalinist attacks. they horrified normal people across the country. not just right-wingers, but people in the middle. ever since republicans have been rising in the polls. for democrats the lesson should have been clear, keep your crazies under control at least until election day. they wouldn't do that or maybe they couldn't do that or maybe they no longer recognize what crazy is. in many case, they refused to make a rational case for their own program and therefore accelerated their own collapse. elizabeth warren led the way in this, in a bassar self-inflicted injury that she committed on national television yesterday much to the confusion of everyone else, elizabeth warren released a video trying to show that she really is an american indian. watch as the senator anoints herself ahead of the #mesioux movement. >> the president likes to call

my mom a liar, what are the facts say? >> you absently have native american ancestry. >> only tribes determine citizenship, i respect that distinction. but my family history as my family history. >> tucker: i am not enrolled in a tribe it says a lady who was way whiter than you are. who thought that would work? what consultant came up with that? even the cherokee nation denounced elizabeth warren and the media weren't impressed either. >> is not one-tenth, not 100, 11,024th does not let you say you're a cherokee. >> i don't think it does that for her. i don't think the standard of what was found and there is going to be satisfying to peopl people. >> she is 11,000th -- i think i might be just as native american as she is.
5:04 pm
>> tucker: some of the press to defend hurt they can to help themselves but their case hardly help the democratic party because it was just too crazy. "the new york times" informed us that anyone who questioned her story of ethnic appropriation of indian culture, is you guessed it, of course, a racist. >> in terms of the attack on the warrant, i believe that was about white anxiety, it speaks to donald trump space about who is white in america. >> tucker: keep attacking people for their skin color maybe that will work just like it did in 2016. two democrats, that still seems like a good idea along with other potions notions that ordy voters find repugnant and scary. abolishing ice border controls eliminating the barrier between us and other countries and eliminating our country. maxine maxine waters cheering oe mob or as don lemon, people who
5:05 pm
are angry. in arizona work democrats assume they had an easy pickup of a senate seat, their nominee opposes all immigration laws and apparently she says finds that caliban more bearable than her fellow citizens in arizona. >> states are the laboratories of democracy and in my state of arizona, it's a meth lab of democracy. in the past several years, is there something in the water, the water's fine. >> tucker: the meth lab of democracy, there's a way to get votes. democrats can get away with all of this and more if they at least had an agenda that worked, if they could demonstrate -- they can't do that, not even close. if california is failing sadly, while drugs and human waste filled the streets, middle-class people leave because they can't afford homes there.

portland, oregon, one of the prettiest cities in the country, suddenly looks like downtown managua with bandanna clad thugs ruling the streets, meanwhile the city's impotent mayor orders police to stand down. [bleep] [shouting] >> tucker: it wasn't supposed to end this way, loathing of trump was supposed to be the glue that held all the constituent parts of the democratic party together. instead, it's destroying the party and their efforts to fight trump, they have become what they said they hated. they said over and over again that trump hates women, he's a misogynist. and yet he never has graded anything as repugnant as the

5:08 pm
consider the political landscape that elizabeth warren, one of the leading presidential candidates for your party in 2020 that her racial makeup, her dna results is a question for most voters? >> i think it's irrelevant to most voters. the point that you're making is one that i agree with. the lament about how trivial and hateful and irrelevant our politics is to most people's lives, i completely agree with that. where i differ with you is there are sins that have occurred with democrats and democrats are guilty of it and i also think republicans are guilty of it. i think it's a product of an increasingly tribal country that is not good for us. it's a product of cable news and social media, it's a product of many media forces that are going on right now. both parties are at each other's throats, they are increasingly ugly and it seems to be increasingly irrelevant.
5:09 pm
democrats lost the election in my opinion in 2016 in large part because they didn't have a really good compelling answer for the middle class. they didn't have a compelling answer or policy for the middle class. the middle class is basically been in a recession since the 1970s. there hasn't been a wage increase for most middle-class workers since the 1970s. that's a democratic and republican problem. >> tucker: i couldn't agree with you more, that's why think trump got elected because both parties were ignoring those voters and their actual people. their wages have gone down by 11% in the past 30 years. the question is why wouldn't the democratic party picked up the cause of middle-class economics and why are they still attacking those people as white men or bigots, this constant refrain that those people are immoral
5:10 pm
and bad. what did they think they're getting out of that? >> i think both parties are being pulled by their bases. i know you don't want me to plug eric holder but one of the important things he's doing is trying to do districting reform so you don't have completely red and completely blew congressional districts and people are forced to talk to each other. i think what happens is when you try belies this country and you put somebody into a blue camp or a red camp, they tend to talk to each other and the extremist voices are the ones that drive us above. it's the same thing and republicans, you have a senate candidate in minnesota and it was revealed today in 2009 she made a very unflattering to michelle obama comparing her to a primate. there are plenty of examples we can point to. >> tucker: what you don't have is any republican leaders standing up and saying that a certain race of americans is defective or wrong.
5:11 pm
racial lysing everything and attacking people on the basis of their skin color -- we can debate the issues but and i think we ought to and we try to, but doing that, that's the most divisive possible thing you can do. it's universal on the left. i'm actually bothered by it. >> i think the left plays identity politics but i think the right place identity politics. i think both are unhelpful. >> tucker: i don't even like a lot of republicans but i've never heard a single one stand up and say the problem is black men. if somebody did that, i swear as god watches i would attack them. you hear it every day on the left, it's normal, why? >> we can debate this all you want but i think there are dog whistle politics that occur on the right when you refer to mexicans as and drug lords and you use that to justify the wall -- i think that's dog whistle politics. >> tucker: but their
5:12 pm
foreigners, it's not about the race it's about their citizenship. this is not a dog whistle, this is an explicit attack on people based on their race. when did we allow that, why is that okay? >> it is polarized, both parties poor fuel on this fire. there's a reason that republicans get less than 5%, 7% of the african-american vote. it's because it's not speaking to them. at some point -- >> tucker: got to wrap it up and being told were out of time. >> we have bigger problems out there, we have 25% of the global economy, china has 15%. in a matter of a decade, they will be our size or bigger than us, and he is right behind them. we have very big issues to deal with and this trivialization of american politics it's occurring on both sides is horrible for this country. >> tucker: thank you for joining us tonight, i appreciate that.

5:17 pm
president of honduras at the large caravan of people headed to the u.s. is not stopped and brought back, no more money or it will be given to honduras effective immediately. that threat may have worked in the short term, guatemala authorities say they have arrested the leader and have deported him back to honduras. well versed in international law and the politics of central america, he is a registered foreign agent for the government of el salvador. why is that not exactly the response every president ought to give one a foreign country attempts a kind of invasion. >> we have every right to protect our border and we don't have to let any of these migrants in. if the goal is for them not to come here, we should not be cutting off foreign aid to honduras. honduras is getting that aid and we can help improve the economy. the reason these people are leaving honduras is because the economy is terrible in there are
5:18 pm
no jobs. these are economic refugees and the reason they are trying to come to the u.s. is they are looking for a better life. in the long term if we don't want them to come we have to try to work with honduras and the other countries in central america to improve their economies so people stay. >> tucker: how is that working for us? we've given a lot of aid to el salvador, one-third of all el salvador ends on the planet live in the united states. one-third of all existing salvadorans. philly everything we've done for salvador hasn't stopped the flow of one-third of the entire population into our country. it doesn't work. why don't we say look, we're going to punish you personally if you let this continue, why is that a bad idea? >> we haven't given very much money to central america. keep in mind, we give about 1% of our budget overall in foreign aid around the world. a very small amount of that goes to central america.
5:19 pm
>> tucker: hold on. why do we give any? one-third of all salvadorans live in our country a lot of them illegally and i'm sure they're all great people, i'm not attacking them. i'm saying this arrangement isn't working. they are off-loading their pour into our country at a time when working-class jobs are going away due to automation, their benefit and, we are losing and paying them. >> i just explain that to you. the reason we are giving aid is to help improve those countries so that people stay -- that's the long term goal. i think you and i both agree it with that as do many policymakers in washington. we haven't done a good enough job. neither democrats nor republicans have done a good enough job of helping these countries improve their economies, helping these countries improve the rule of law so people don't leave. >> tucker: is not true. mexico has jumped more than ten spots on the economic development list internationally. i think is now number 11.
5:20 pm
we've made mexico rich with trade. billions and billions of dollars, millions of jobs. and yet we still have 22 million people in this country illegally, the majority of the mexican. i'm not attacking mexico or mexican people, i'm saying we've made in mexico richer than it was and we still have an inflow from mexico. we're not getting anything out of this. >> that's a great example. yes we are because far less immigrants are coming from mexico right now. you refer to immigrants that are already here from mexico many of whom came a long time ago. before the benefits of nafta went in place. if you look at the data we don't get many immigrants from mexico. even your example were talking about today is migrants from honduras, not from mexico. there enjoying the benefits of nafta in candidly supporting their families. it's a great example. >> tucker: since you years and the data, let me refer you to
5:21 pm
the essential datum in this conversation. we have more than 10 million mexican citizens living in our borders illegally, once again i'm not attacking them, but if the model you're proposing works and we both know that it doesn't it's all a joke, it's a huge lie the whole point is to make the democratic party more powerful, let's play along -- if your model works then why are they still hear? why haven't they gone back to the newly enriched mexico which we enriched with our money and our jobs. >> many came from a long time ago. the data i'm referring to is a legal immigration from mexico has gone down, you agree with me on that right? >> tucker: i'm missing it. the data as you said show that mexico is way richer than it was 20 years ago. we did that, we suffered as a result of that but we also got all of their poor people who they didn't feel like supporting with their nonexistent social safety net so they can make more
5:22 pm
billionaires which they have assiduously done. we get shafted, we are paying for the health care of their poorest people you don't see what i'm talking about at all? >> your point doesn't make sens sense. were talking about illegal immigration and it has gone down for mexico. it could go down for honduras and guatemala and other countries in central america just as we helped improve those economies. we only get a little bit of money, let's help improve those economies. >> tucker: we need to pay more. >> i'm not saying it's our fault, i never said it's our fault i said we can help. >> tucker: thank you so much. we haven't heard a lot about the russia investigation -- what does that mean, anything? will get an update from the one man who might know who happens to chair the house intelligence committee, devin nunes joins us after the break. it's a distraction and has been from the very beginning, it's a distraction from the failures of the ruling class as explained in

credibility across the board, particularly at the justice department. the fbi for example started spying on carter page a u.s. citizen who went to the naval academy and served as a naval officer based on a political motivated, still uncorroborated series of allegations from fusion gps which was an arm of the hillary campaign. now fusion gps founder glenn simpson is avoiding pleading to avoid testifying before congress. devin nunes joins us tonight. thank you very much for coming on. before i ask about glenn simpson and why you think he might not be testifying, i want to get an update on the documents that the rest of us were supposed to see, most specifically the fisa warrant that allowed the spying that the obama administration did on carter page, are we ever going to find out the justification? >> years of your life and you're not getting back, many americans
5:28 pm
including myself -- i think that's a great opening. if we are very frustrated that we haven't been able to get these documents out. the president ordered them and then you have rod rosenstein who got in the middle of it. i would be fine if he had a real reason but every time he said he had a reason to block this information, it ends up being false. now you have rod rosenstein who won't testify before congress. are we going to see this information? i guess we are waiting, the president put the ig in charge of it -- horowitz. i don't think that was a good idea. at the end of the day, that's what we're counting on. >> tucker: at some point you ask what's the point of voting? you elect a new guy but the same people are in charge supporting what you want. it does call into question democracy itself. do you think any member of congress would be willing to take the risk. as an american, i think you have a right to see this. >> the challenge with that is we can talk about -- we talked
5:29 pm
about this on our show -- we can't march the documents down p them down. those documents are in possession of the department of justice and the fbi. there should be no reason, we've been narrowly focused on 20 pages that rod rosenstein signed and i don't think he should be in the decision-making process of whether or not the american people should see these or not. >> tucker: i agree with that completely. let me ask you to sum it up since you are privy too much more information than the average person -- have you seen and answer this knowing in the end were going to know all the facts. have you seen any evidence there was collusion between the trump campaign in the russian government? >> no i have not, and in fact i see the opposite that we know for sure. you're going to ask me about glenn simpson in a second and i hate to jump ahead. glenn simpson, was working for
5:30 pm
the democrats. the clinton campaign. he got information from russians, that information was fed into the fbi. glenn simpson was spreading that information out to the press and now we know glenn simpson was meeting with the fbi long before he testified to congress that he was meeting with the fbi. this is somebody who likely lied to congress, should probably be prosecuted which is likely why today he pled the fifth and refused to testify before congress. >> tucker: it is so frustrating to watch as a voter, i think i speak for many other boaters. thank you very much for everything you're doing. up next, a facebook employee just quit the company and denounced it as a left-wing monoculture. that opposes free speech. it's nothing you didn't know, next.
5:31 pm
5:35 pm
>> tucker: an engineer at facebook has left that company, he said he's fed up with the company's culture. he left facebook october 12, he sent a memo explaining why he did to his fellow employees. if he called facebook a political monoculture and follows a p.r. strategy of appeasement. he joins us tonight, thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having made. >> tucker: it was brave to explain why you were leaving and you say nice things about facebook, you call it a monoculture, that's not a surprise to our viewers. what i was struck by, you've taken a stance on how to balance offensive and hateful speech with free expression. when facebook launched, my impression as a user and someone watching, free expression was the goal. that has changed. >> absolutely, it has been dramatic to watch the shift over the years. that's essentially why i am
5:36 pm
leaving. i'm leaving because of this direction, trying to draw lines about what is acceptable and what is offensive or too offensive, i think it's dangerous and it's impractical. it's impossible to define what something like hate speech is and it's even harder to implement and enforce it at facebook scale. to your point, this is core to what the mission of the company is. i think it's a huge strategic missteps for a company whose primary value is trying to draw these lines. >> tucker: it also changes what facebook is fundamentally. my understanding even as a legal matter, facebook as a platform and a conduit through which end over which information flows, once you start deciding what is acceptable, you're a media company, aren't you? >> i think it's an interesting question. people come to facebook for all sorts of reasons, i always
5:37 pm
thought about it as a tool for micro free expression. i support the mission as a tool for micro free expression. from that point of view, us trying to draw those impossible to draw lines about what's acceptable is a losing strategy. >> tucker: why are they doing that? it's fraught with peril, it's obvious and you just said it. i think congress could fight back but they are doing anyway, why? >> it's hard to imbue intent to anybody. i wouldn't pretend to be able to put myself in their shoes. what i can say is that executives at the company do take the sort of assertions and claims that i have made very seriously. they didn't fire me, they engaged me. i spent the better part of the last month working with them to try to figure out how to improve this stuff. there's a really big distinction
5:38 pm
between how those executives are handling this and want a vocal minority inside the company is doing. there is a vocal minority inside facebook that is belligerent beyond belief in a quest i think to implement social justice policies across our mission. >> tucker: give me one example of that if you would. >> i think looking at the way the hate speech policy is implemented on the platform. you can't even have conversations about that policy inside the company without having your character attacked. i've experienced this personally without being called a sexist or racist or transphobic, islamophobic -- you can't have conversations about anything that isn't the social justice ideology without being attacked personally. the real concerning thing that's happening is that even though this is the minority of employees in the company,
5:39 pm
unfortunately i'm not sure facebook leadership knows how to push back against them. like i said, they are unbelievably belligerent and demanding and hostile not just for other employees but toward facebook leadership directly. my real concern is whether they can push back. >> tucker: everyone is terrified in this country, that's the lesson of this. thank you very much for this and your bravery, i hope you go on to something much better and more lucrative, thanks so much for coming on. senator susan collins of maine pretty much out of nowhere stood up for brett kavanaugh two weeks ago. now the left which loved her until recently wants to revoke an honorary college degree she received. ♪ schools, the media, tech, finance, you name it, they

whether they clothe themselves as feminists or not is pushing the argument. if you disagree with them, something is inherently wrong with you. it's like kanye west being declared as mentally ill. if you disagree with her point of view, your evil or you support things that are horrible for society. this is what they need to move because they can't have arguments with us based on the details of the issues. your exchange with her proves that. >> tucker: how did we get here? you're dealing with people who honestly think that they are saved and you are fallen, they are virtuous, you are simple -- there is no possibility of agreement, is there? >> there isn't. you notice of course this is for modern religion, they've moved away from that. it was very middle aged religion like for the left. it's a middle age framework where people were burned at the stake and heads were cut off. if you moved a little bit away from the orthodoxy, you are
5:51 pm
going to be declared a heathen or something else. this is now turning into a religion. there is no room for any kind of movement in any kind of differences or differences of opinion or point of view. we live in a modern age which recognizes faith in the importance of that and the importance of us having our opinions but in a free world and in the republic and a democracy, in the 21st century, especially in america, we pride ourselves in the fact that we can have disagreements that we will not punish people for not conformin conforming. that has been a hallmark of the american liberal sensibility of which all americans hold onto and this of course is a classic fascist framework and of course our universities speaking of universities don't teach history anymore really and so these are people who are graduating and inculcated in a dynamic that has
