>> tucker: elizabeth warren of massachusetts assumed she would be a progressive hero on monday when she released d.n.a. test results that showed it would be possible she had tiny amount of the indian blood. even the cherokee nation said she was hurting the tribal you interests doing this. but then cherokee nation made a mistake. someone called zerlena maxwell at msnbc explained there is only one possible explanation for any group criticizing a democrat. do you know what it is? we'll give you one guess. racist, of course. watch. >> the cherokee nation response was problematic because it ignores that the d.n.a. testing historically used to exclude the black native from the tribal. that is unfortunate. >> tucker: so cherokee nation is racist for cit
2:20 am
sizing elizabeth warren who is way whiter than you are. it's not racist to make up racial identity to advance your career. but if you call someone out for that, that is real racist. update the definition tonight. meanwhile the wife of the senior d.o.j. official bruce ohr appeared on capitol hill today. nellie ohr worked for fusion g.p.s. in the 2016 election cycle when her husband met with christopher steele about the infamous trump dossier. in her testimony to a house panel nellie ohr invoked spousal privilege. we are joined by a professor who has been watching this. thank you for coming on. i assume it's legitimate to invoke introducal privilege. sounds legitimate to me as a nonlawyer. what do you think she was hoping not say?
2:21 am
>> it's rare to have a spousal claim raised with the advancement that women have been able to achieve. to have someone in an important position refuse to answer questions from the oversight committee returning to a spousal status is problematic. serious questions have been raised here. conflicts in the testimony that people have cited. with regard to her husband. what we have to find out is what is the real record? when were the contacts made? who were the people that presented the information that ultimately went to the fisa court? none of those questions are answered now. >> tucker: you make a good point. if she is saying she can't answer question to oversight body because it's her husband and they are too close and shouldn't have to violate the privacy that exists between them. is it appropriate for them to
2:22 am
be working indirectly in a government setting in which they were? >> that is a problem. there is alternative reasoning. claim the fifth, if i don't use the fifth, he is my spouse. if he's not my spouse, i'm his minister. something along the lines. she hasn't claimed the full array but there is information that the oversight committee requires. i honestly don't know how serious the allegations are. i think we should know. we need some of the answers. mr. ohr made statements when he first interacted with the company on this issue that seemed to be in the contradiction with the statement of the other witnesses. that always a serious problem for congress. now, the fact is his wife was an officer of the company. with an employee of the company directly involved in the allegations. if we now are going to have the spousal immunity claims it creates a serious problem in
2:23 am
terms of having couples each for their own merit achieving positions of authority. if we have to face the type of spousal claims. >> tucker: well, yeah. especially when you have a law enforcement agency going through hillary clinton's opo of people for information. that winds up the basis of a criminal investigation. that is a problem. professor, thank you for clear explanation. >> thank you. >> tucker: female athletes finding themselves outclassed by biological men in their sports and what is the future of women's sport in the age of transgenderism? it's a real question. that's next. "ship of fools" is number one on the "new york times" best seller list and it shows how washington elite abandon the interest of everybody else. grab a copy. any bookstore. jardiance asked: when it comes to managing your type 2 diabetes, what matters to you? step up to the stage here.
2:24 am
feeling good about that? let's see- most of you say lower a1c. but only a few of you are thinking about your heart. fact is, even though it helps to manage a1c, type 2 diabetes still increases your risk of a fatal heart attack or stroke. jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill with a lifesaving cardiovascular benefit for adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease. jardiance significantly reduces the risk of dying from a cardiovascular event... ...and lowers a1c, with diet and exercise. let's give it another try. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. this may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction. symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. other side effects are sudden kidney problems,
2:25 am
genital yeast infections, increased bad cholesterol, and urinary tract infections, which may be serious. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. so-what do you think? well i'm definitely thinking differently than i was yesterday. ask your doctor about jardiance- and get to the heart of what matters.
2:26 am
money managers are pretty much the same. all but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management.
2:27 am
get mentally prepared... could listening to audible bring out your best? i want you to own it. go after that goal. the most inspiring stories, fitness, wellness and more. download audible and listen for a change. >> tucker: the age of female athletics may be coming to an end. new age upon us. transgender athlete. the first transgender person become the first to win world title in cyclist. won the world championship in los angeles. the third place finisher complained that the result was unfair. mckinnon replied by denouncing the person for transphobia. which is always the way it goes. if you don't respond on the merit, attack motive.
2:28 am
amy is a feminist and blogs at don't let it go.com and she joins us tonight. thank you for coming on. >> thank you for having me on. happy to be here. >> tucker: i want your take on this. women athletics exists in a separate category for a biological reason because women on average, not all but on average are differently built. >> yes. >> tucker: so this seems like a huge challenge to the idea of women athletics and none of the people whose job it is to defend women say anything about it. why is that? >> i don't know why. i myself think it's wonderful that most of the societies today allow for women to compete in athletics because it gives you the thrill of competition. the great sense of accomplishment, plus the benefits of exercise and everything else. the enterprise depends on segregates women because we are less strong than men and
2:29 am
have less muscle mass. i'll get into the science but i want to say professor mckinnon, i disagree with her about what a right to compete is. i don't understand it way she does. right to compete does not entail the right to have an organization host competition that is willing to accept you as a competitor. if it exists, great. i'm happy that we do have women's competitions. >> tucker: what would happen in the wnba if men describe themselves, biological debate -- i don't want to -- call yourself whatever you want. biology is real. but if the men compete it affects the women. >> tucker: i'll call them transgender and i have information about them from a great blogger h.d. he has a blog called hormones demystified. he told me this is a real condition but he pointed me to
2:30 am
some research. you know, tucker, there is very little research that is quantitative in terms of the muscle mass that the transgender females retain even after going through -- >> tucker: wouldn't you want to -- the essence of what you say is there is very little research. >> the one study that does exist show transgender female retain more muscle mass through biological females without hormonal -- >> tucker: of course i that. do but why wouldn't people in charge of protecting women from unfair competition are standing up and saying my job is to protect women? where are the protectors? >> so many of them are liberal-mind and they have a right to compete again. that everybody who wants to compete has a right to be allowed to participate in a competition of their choice perhaps. >> tucker: the rights of everyone else i would think play a role but not in case. amy, thank you for the smart explanation.
2:31 am
i appreciate it. we have more on saudi arabia admission that they did in fact kill jamal khashoggi. the biggest story in world. why is that exactly? plus, it's been two years. those of you who have still not recovered from the election. say a prayer for her. we'll show you the meltdown ahead. >> we are going to right the ship. there is no way he will prevail. he is evil. he is dark. it's the opposite of whahahahaha
2:32 am
i can't believe it. that everything sticks to stefon diggs's hands? no, i can't believe how easy it was to save hundreds of dollars on my car insurance with geico. cool, huh? yeah. he plays football, huh? yeah. believe it. geico could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. hey guys. today we're here to talk about trucks. i love trucks. what the heck is that?! whoa! what truck brand comes from the family of the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road? i think it's the chevy. ford. is it ford? nope, it's not ford. i think it's ram. is it ram? not ram. that's a chevy! it's chevy! that's right. from the family of the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road. gorgeous. chevy hit it out of the ballpark with these.

burning, pins and needles, of diabetic nerve pain these feet... ... made waves in high school... ... had a ball being a dad... ...and built a career in construction. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. nerve damage from diabetes causes diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is fda approved to treat this pain from moderate to even severe diabetic nerve pain. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression,
2:35 am
or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs, and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. now i have less diabetic nerve pain. and i love building memories that can't be washed away. ask your doctor about lyrica. >> tucker: this is a fox news alert. saudi arabia admitted tonight missing journalist jamal khashoggi is in fact dead. they concede he was killed by saudis in what they said was a fistfight in consulate in turkey. the saudis blame what you just heard. a lot of the left decided that president trump is to blame somehow. there is no evidence he was in the consulate when the killing took place. we are joined by an attorney, radio show host and former
2:36 am
staffer to chuck schumer. we are all anti-saudi now. as someone who has been anti-saudi for a long time it's nice to have company. where were all the chest-beaters last spring when the united states bombed syria in part at the direction of saudi arabia? and everybody on the left, including your former boss chuck schumer said it's good idea to do the bidding of saudi arabia? but now anyone who says anything about saudi arabia is immoral. how did it change? >> i have always been concerned with saudi arabia. i'm a new yorker who worked in the united states senate after 9/11. i don't trust them. they gave aid and comfort to people who bombed us. i don't understand how we look at what they did to khashoggi any differently than what al-qaeda did to daniel pearl. it's an act of terror and it should be dealt with that way. for trump's role, he has been -- >> tucker: hold on. wait, wait, wait. stop. before you get to trump and
2:37 am
whatever. to answer the question. has to be dealt with how? pushing for another war? this one against the saudis? >> no. i'm not. >> tucker: okay. some think you are. >> we have a lot of leverage over saudi arabia, especially in their security in the middle east. we need to insist that this man is not installed permanently on the throne. he is the crown prince. >> tucker: oh! so we are going to -- this is like foreign policy by cable news. my favorite kind. what happens when the saudi kingdom, the royal family no longer controls their own country. what would happen if the saudi royal family collapsed? what do you think the afternoon math would look like? >> -- aftermath would look like? >> last i checked there are 40 other princes they could choose from. m.b.s. wasn't originally in
2:38 am
line for the throne. what he did was not about khashoggi but every journalist who threatened him in the world. >> tucker: hold on. how are journalists in china -- >> the president of the united states is acting weak here. >> tucker: please, save me the posturing. i want to know what the standards are here. journalists in china are killed more often than in saudi arabia. obviously. china being a huge funder and the supporter of the democratic party and a favorite of the democratic party. are we going to apply the standards to -- >> i don't know where you get that from. >> tucker: maybe i should show you a tape of dianne feinstein pledging allegiance to china. so across the board it doesn't matter. >> we should keep our values wherever they are threatened. jamal khashoggi was an american permanent resident and the law treats the permanent residents the same as citizens and the president should respond the same way. he killed somebody under our protection. if the president doesn't respond -- >> tucker: cool it with the moral outrage. okay? i think we are all a little
2:39 am
sick of it. >> how can we not be outraged? is >> tucker: i don't know. there is a long list of things to be outraged by. how about the war in yemen which saudis have been prosecuting and killed untold children? i don't remember you holding a press conference about that. >> i'm outraged by that, too. but we are talking about this tonight, tucker. i want to know if you think the khashoggi killing is different than daniel pearl's killing? i don't think it is. >> tucker: look, i'm not -- >> is it? tell me. >> tucker: the saudi arabia is medieval and terrifying. it's different in 50 ways. i'm not sure how to respond to it. >> we are in mutual agreement, tucker. i agree. i do not like what is going on there and i don't like a lot of things around the world but we have leverage over the saudis and we should use it. >> tucker: new war. all right. thank you. the interstaff published a piece on what he said is the "washington post" hock pist rissy about saudi arabia
2:40 am
and -- hoy pock rassy about saudi arabia. i want to be clear. i have never been on the side of saudi arabia. i hate how they control the foreign policy. particularly, in syria. why the outrage about this now? i'm confused by it. >> the saudis have been murdering journalists and murdering dissidents for decades. they have been doing it at a heightened rate for the last two years. as you just said. the obama administration was arming the saudis in order to create the worst humanitarian crisis in yemen by slaughtered civilians by the thousands and posing famine conditions on millions. the trump administration has done the same. the reason people in washington suddenly decided they are angry about saudi arabia is this time their victim is somebody who they ran into in washington restaurants and who was popular in washington social circles. that is the reality. they didn't care at all when victims of saudi arabia by the hundreds of thousands were people that they didn't like or didn't care. it's just time they killed one
2:41 am
of their friends. >> tucker: how deep would you say -- give us a quick overview how deep the ties between the saudi royal family and the official washington go, including in the journalistic establishment in washington? >> it's impossible to overstate. when the crown prince came here, he had the red carpet rolled out for him by hollywood. he met with oprah. by silicon valley and he met with bill gates and jeff bezos. in washington he met with the leaders of all the parties. saudi arabia has been a critical financial partner and military partner for the u.s. for a long time. the interest go so deep in wall street and the defense industry. as it turns out, even the "washington post" going around demanding everybody severalties with saudi arabia because it's immoral they have killed one of the journalist had on the staff two writers who both work at the lobbying firms that had extremely lucrative contracts with the
2:42 am
saudi government. so the "washington post" paying people unbeknownst to the readers for articles the same time they were being paid by the saudis to do messaging and other lobbying work for the same regime. >> tucker: the you tell us who they are so those of us who read the post know that while assessing the writing? >> carter eskew, the top level gore adviser in 2000. who formed the glober park group, mostly the democratic elite. the other is ed rogers long-time republican operative who is a founding partner in haley barbour firm, the former head of the r.n.c. who was in charge of the communications for the saudis in washington. they were both "washington post" writers for a long time now unbeknownst to readers and they were only told they had to get rid of the saudi contracts once we published the article by the "washington post." but so many major media outlets including the cable
2:43 am
news show networks have the regular commentators who work for the consultant and the lobbying firms two are paid to disseminate messages unbeknownst to people who are hearing them. i should be a huge journalism scandal. >> tucker: the totally fearless glenn greenwald. thank you, as always. >> thank you. >> tucker: midterm elections closing in, a "new york times" editorial board member had a simple request for hillary clinton. be quiet. it's not helping. that's next. after the 2016 defeat to donald trump and washington's reaction to it, it exposed the way that the people in charge really feel about you. they have total contempt. described in a new detail in a ♪ from the start, the c-class was ahead of its time.

>> tucker: hillary clinton failed the democratic party two years ago but she has been determined to remain in the public eye ever since. now the "new york times" editorial board is fed up with it in an opinion piece. board member michelle cottle complains about clinton master class. and she claims sha she is deluding the party message. in short, hillary please go away. and dave ruben host of "ruben report" and joins us tonight. great to see you. >> great to see you. >> tucker: one of the benefit to being in los angeles because you are on the set. what do you make of hillary clinton? she still is the standard bearer of the party, isn't she? the last nominee. >> the line about the civility we can no longer be civil with the political opponents. think about what it means. word it differently. we should be uncivil? that is what she is saying.
2:49 am
hunt them down in elevators go to their job, stop them on the road? where does it go? what we have is we can do this every night, you, tucker, can argue with someone about something political. it doesn't get violent. you wrap it up at the end of the day. you go home and do it again the next day. civility is all we have. they are making it very clear. this is someone on the left my whole life. i never voted -- one time in my life i voted for a republican, mike bloomberg in his third term in new york city long time ago. hazy republican situation. i say this as someone trying to call it out as i consider my side for a long time. guys, let's rein it back in. this is dangerous. >> tucker: i wonder if she does. >> i think they realize they lost control of the party. the clinton machine doesn't have control of the party. and the party is going through
2:50 am
a democratic socialist or the socialist democrat. whatever they will drop the democrat par soon enough. she is trying to grab to make her feel relevant. in a weird way she has to get out of the way for the other thing to take over. not that i think the other thing is great. but i think the other thing, the more far left wing of the party is much worse. >> i would take hillary clinton any day over some of these people. >> we will look back and say clintons were the good old days. i voted for bill clinton twice. hillary clinton, they are losing control. that is why eric holder when they go low, we kick them. owl of the things, these are not coincidences. >> tucker: right. >> this is not maxine waters find them and hunt them down or whatever she said. and cory booker did the same thing. i have seen articles about you. find tucker carlson in a restaurant. so upset he won't go to a restaurant. if that is where we are at we will look back and say man, we have screwed up the most beautiful experiment done in world history.
2:51 am
>> i agree. >> about how you get different people from all over the world to come together and live together. we have done it right here. it doesn't mean it's perfect for everyone or that there aren't racists or that we have the class issues. and economic issues and all sort of things. but if we don't pull back this thing, it will be much worse faster than anyone can imagine. >> tucker: totally right. it's more fragile than we acknowledge. david rubin, great to see you. >> likewise, my friend. >> tucker: very much. rosie o'donnell in a long-you running, mostly one-sided battle with donald trump this year. it ends this week with a highlight of what she recently said. because this is also kind of amusing. >> this is not russia. donald trump at his pathetic band of white privileged criminal businessmen. i would like to say to him,
2:52 am
niet, sir. niet! niet! (music throughout) if you're waiting patiently for a liver transplant, it could cost you your life. it's time to get out of line with upmc. at upmc, living-donor transplants put you first. so you don't die waiting. upmc does more living-donor liver transplants than any other center in the nation.

2:54 am
>> rosie o'donnell really, really hates trump. but unlike most people in her world who really hate trump, she can claim it's not a new thing. she's been hating trump for many years. she's no closer to winning that debate. she still has to the recovered from the 2016 election. here's part of it.
2:55 am
>> we are going to right the ship. there's no way he'll prevail because he's evil and dark. i always thought why didn't they counterprogram his rallies. he wants to send the military to the border. i want to send the military to the white house to get him. [laughter] >> martial law. she thinks that's a good idea. >> you've been here all your life. obviously you're a famous actor. if i was running the hollywood chamber of commerce, i would tell her to pull back. you're embarrassing us. >> it was a joke, a thinly veiled joke. that was insane. that's a coup. >>
2:56 am
>> sean: don't other people in her world say, "look, rosie, we get it, you don't like trump. but you're discrediting yourself and the rest of us by acting like a mental patient on tv. don't do that." >>that sounds entirely reasonable. why would something like that happen. i know rosie. i knew her back in the day. we were very friendly and wonderful. i don't know that she would talk to me now. but i disagree with her. and i would be happy to sit cross from her and say, "i disagree. and even on that show, all they did was laugh. why didn't anybody offer a dissenting opinion. >> martial law? how often do you hear stuff like that here at dinner? >> monday through sunday. >> so it's ubiquitous here.
2:57 am
>> i'll hear it from some of the actors. but then we'll go through and shooting something. and then they're like, "hey, i'm with you." >>that's such an interesting point. and i've noticed this exact thing. how different are the opinions of the crews? >> i would say they're diametrically opposed. >> don't the actors at some point say, i'm supposed to be on the side of the average person, the underdog. i'm surrendered by underdogs, but i hate them from their views. >> all we hear is what we want to hear, most of the time. i'm putting myself in that camp because i am an actor. i travel the world. i do things that i think have some substance. i'm in bad places. but a lot of these people, you're coddles as an actor and

told you're great all the time. their opinion means more than the guy clapping. >> if you're making $10 million a year and denouncing your camera man is immoral. >> or at least out of focus. >> great to see you. thank you. that is it for us for tonight and for the week. we'll be back on monday. dvr it if you can crack that mystery. good night from los angeles.
