thank you, dennis quaid. you're welcome. that's a prop apple. i'd tell you more, but i only have 30 seconds. so here's a dramatic shot of their tagline so you'll remember it. esurance. it's surprisingly painless. and washing in ♪ >> tucker: well, good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." at the core of any political campaign is the message, what it's about. e what exactly are next tuesday's midterm elections about? on the one side, it's pretty clear. donald trump, who is the leader of the republican party and, in effect, its only spokesman says that a vote for republican candidates is a vote for secure borders and against crime and chaos. you don't have to believe the f president when he says this, but it's definitely what republicans are running on. what are democrats running on? that's less clear. against trump, certainly. democrats talks about the president even more than heat talks about himself, which is a lot. they don't like him at all. fine. but despising someone isn't

really a platform or path forward. at best, it's a reaction. what are the ideas that unite the democratic party right now? for the answer to that, we go to the other cable stations which over the past coupleti years have come to function much as the dnc used to function as the democratic party's brain trust and mouthpiece. if you want to know what democrats are thinking, watch cnn and msnbc. last night was especially instructive. here are two contributors to msnbc. one writes for "the new york times". the other is a professor at princeton, which is an ivy league college in new jersey. both have impressive credentials and both are considered deep thinkers by most of the other people in this country who think of themselves as intellectuals. watch as they explain what they have learned since the 2016 election. >> what i did wrong in 2016 is i overestimated white people. i didn't think white people would put him in office. >> i'm not willing to let white voters off the hook.

i think that they, like the rest of us, should be treated as adults. i think there are a large number i would say a majority of white americans in this country who are not just democrats but people of a conscience, who are good americans.n i believe that they need to movo from saying, well, i don't like his tweets but the economy is doing okay. they need to move from there to reality which is that we have a white nationalist president who's a threat to american democracy. >> tucker: now, there was asi time not so long ago -- just a few years ago, really -- when language like this was considered textbook race hatred even by liberal democrats. you weren't allowed to blame entire races of people for anything. you weren't even supposed to think of your fellow americans primarily in terms of their race, and skin color is one thing that nobody can control. to paraphrase a longtime liberal hero whose ideas are now ignored, what matters is the content of a person's character. but not anymore. now the opposite is true.. identity is everything.nt here is cnn's don lemon

on monday night. >> we have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is a white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them. there is no travel ban on them. there is no ban on -- they had the muslim ban. there is no white guy ban. so what do we do about that? >> we have to start doing t something about them, these people of a certain skin color. that's what don lemon said. before you get too outraged about that and stop watching his show every night, keep in mind that don lemon is a cable news host. he's on television five hours a week live. he's bound to say somethingg indefensible once in a while, they all do. we can actually vouch for that, having done it ourselves, unfortunately. here are the rules. when you say something awful that you can't defend, don't try to defend it. apologize and explain what you meant and move on.

vow to do better. that's a rule for life, not just television news. we all learned it as kids. on the left, though, it no longer applies. here's what don lemon said last night about his remarks onef monday. >> i said that the biggest terror threat in this country comes from radicals on the far right, primarily white man. that angered some people. their analysis shows for every eight deadly attacks by right wing extremists, there were one by left-wing extremists. those are the facts. so people who were angered about what i said are missing the entire point. we don't need to worry about people who are thousands of miles away.ut the biggest threats are homegrown. >> tucker: if you didn't like what i said, that's your problem. you'll notice the lack of contrition. when don lemon said we have to start doing something about americans of a certain skin color, it turns out it wasn't a mistake. he meant that.d he didn't apologize because nobody in his world asked him to and they are all saying

pretty much the same thing. this is now a common view in the democratic party.lo it's one of the things they are running on. lots of americans won't like that message, obviously, but democrats are not concerned about that. they no longer care what those americans think. they've given up on tryingns to represent them. that's why they fight harder toa provide birthright citizenship for foreigners than they ever fought to protect american citizens from heroin or plunging middle-class wages or privacy destroying tech monopolies. they know who their constituency is. that also explains their sudden sympathy for lawbreakers over everyone else. you already know about the democrats' demand that america ignore its own immigration laws, but it's gone far beyond that. elizabeth warren, who is the senator from massachusetts and is running for president in 2020, has condemned our entire criminal justice system as racist. meanwhile, the hollywood senate candidate, beto o'rourke, agrees with that. he's called our justice o system "the new jim crow." he accused cops of shooting people based on their skin color.

he offered no evidence that cops do shoot people just based on their skin color. he didn't need to, because he just knows it's true. meanwhile democratic cities around the country have decided that laws against crimes like shoplifting and public urination and others can no longer be enforced because that would be racist. the result of all of this is inevitable. it's always the same everywhere. more crime, and you are already seeing that in many places. turns out the victims are notth cloistered rich people like beto o'rourke. they are normal people of all races. crime hurts everyone, but it tends to hurt the poor the most. if that has occurred to democrats, they haven't mentioned it. they are feeling good about themselves right now. they know they are likely to win back the house on tuesday and they are feeling vindicated more self-righteous than ever. we searched long and hard today for a piece of tape that could sum up the democratic worldview right now and we found this. it was shot by a network camera man covering the president's trip to the tree of life synagogue in pittsburgh this week. the protester screaming at the president happens to be

a presbyterian minister. watch. >> it's not about you! let the families grieve. this is our neighborhood. you are not welcome here. you don't belong here. this is our neighborhood! we welcome everybody here. >> tucker: you are not welcome here! we welcome everybody. that's pretty much the whole democratic message right there. will it work? maybe on tuesday, maybe for a little while. angela merkel tried it in germany. so did the people who, until recently, ran brazil. but ultimately their countries rejected that message. voters want you to care about them. it's their country. they'll know it if you don't care about them. and in the end, they will punish you for that. they always do. author and columnist mark steyn joins us tonight. you are not welcome here! we welcome everybody! it's almost like haiku.

yet it does, of explain the worldview. >> yes. and they are not aware of the contradiction. you said that these guys despise trump, and that's true. what they don't seem to realize is that despising trump slides very quickly into despising tens of millions of your fellow americans. and i think people understand that that isn't actually the kind of country they want to move into. what a lot of these people seem to enjoy is civil war on the cheap. in other words, you could divide yourself into warring tribes without actually having war or torturing and burning each other's villages. and they get a kick out of it. it's a sign of decadence.

normal politics which are boring policy differences, and they want to have this kind of frisson that they somehow are living some epic primal life. by yelling at the president from the streets, in what is supposed to be some kind of dignified a remembrance of 11 dead people. she should be ashamed of herself, that woman. >> tucker: but she's not. i wonder if this kind of politics works. i don't think there's anything wrong with not liking a politician, even despising a politician. i've certainly felt that way. but when you say out loud that you hate his voters and almost half the country and you prefer people from other countries, and in the end, i don't think that works as a political message, does it? >> i think that is how trump became president because there

are tens of millions of just ordinary people who would switch on the tv and they would see people not talking about any things that mattered. democrats were talking about fashionable niche constituencies that ordinary boring white where the mills and factories had closed had barely heard of. and they couldn't understand why barely detectable demographics, like fine with gay, fine with transgenders and then we get to intersexuals. most people have never even met an intersexual. doesn't even understand why these people matter and tens of millions of ordinary americansns don't matter. they don't understand why foreigners who simply want to walk into your country have more rights than people who were born here and have been citizens of the united states all theirir lives. that's how trump came along,

and don lemon and people don't realize that they are partly responsible. so talking about white men being terrorists, the distinguishing feature of the terrorist is not that he's a white man, that's actually demonizing, as you say, half the country. they don't seem to have learned their lesson. if you want more trump, this is how you get more trump. >> tucker: voters want leaders to behave as parents do with the family.re you love your children.. you don't love your stepchildren more. thank you very much, mark steyn. very wise. >> thanks a lot, tucker. >> tucker: well, projection is of course the defining fact of the modern left. on virtually every issue, they attack their opponents as what they are. they call them racist even as they denounce half the country for its skin color. kansas gubernatorial candidate kris kobach is the latest person to learn that lesson the hard way. over at cnn, jeffrey toobin says that because he dislikes

kobach's views, kobach is, of course, a bigot. here's part of it. >> kris has devoted his career to stopping black people and poor people from voting. that's been your goal for decades. >> that's an outrageous accusation. >> it's completely true. >> that is an absolutely outrageous accusation. so if you like photo i.d., you are trying to stop people of color from voting? >> absolutely. >> that is outrageous. >> tucker: kris kobach joins us tonight. kris, thanks a lot for coming on. is there an argument -- and we've done this topic a couple times, but i don't fully understand it. so the idea is what you've just said, if you are trying to make certain that people vote legally and ask for i.d., that's an act of bigotry. flesh out that argument, if you would. i don't understand it. >> the argument itself is a racist one. the argument is, somehow because of your skin color, you are lest likely to have in your wallett a photo i.d. or you are less likely to be able to go to

a government office and get a free photo i.d. it's a ridiculous argument. it's been disproven empirically in state after state. but the hard left and now, increasingly, the entire left, keeps making the argument. tucker, i went into that program thinking we were going to have a cordial debate about birthrighte citizenship. but as soon as jeffrey toobin started losing the argument, he just out of the blue says, you've devoted your career to stopping people of color from voting. it's crazy, and it just showed up. >> tucker: but i wonder why, since i.d. is required for everything.st i mean, you can't cash your paycheck. you can't get on an airplane. you can't stay at a hotel or rent a car. you can't get into buildings without an i.d. so why does no one ever call those laws racist, i wonder? >> well, because maybe they aren't racist and maybe it's not racist for your bank to insist on an i.d. when you cash a check. but of course, they pull this out of nowhere and they don't realize the inconsistency that you just pointed out and that my 12-year-old daughter could have pointed out to them. it must be racist.

never mind that it is an incoherent statement. >> tucker: i wonder. this is probably no the first time you've been attacked this m way. the presumption is that the person attacking you knows what you think, somehow has x-ray vision and can see your heart. [laughs] and knows what your feelingsr are, which is insane. but beyond that, it has kind of short-circuited a rational conversation about the integrity of our elections, hasn't it? >> it absolutely has. now even to suggest that voter fraud exists, which it does, and we've prosecuted many casesi in my office as secretary of state in kansas, to even suggest that it exists is racist. like they short-circuited the immigration debate. if you want to enforce our laws, you must be a racist. if you want to stop the caravan, you must be a racist. it just cuts off the debate completely when you attack the person making the other argument. >> tucker: i tried to buy sudafed for my kids a couple years ago at cvs. and they wouldn't sell it to me because i didn't have an i.d. i'm waiting for people to picket cvs for its racist sudafed

policy. do you think that'll happen? >> don't hold your breath. >> tucker: it's unbelievable.. thank you. mr. secretary, thank you very much. >> my pleasure. >> tucker: democrats in north dakota are trying to save heidi heitkamp by telling hunters not to vote. good luck. we have details on that and they have a big political stories as the midterms approach. that's after the break. will it feel like the wheend of a journey?p working, or the beginning of something even better? when you prepare for retirement with pacific life, you can create a lifelong income... so you have the freedom to keep doing whatever is most meaningful to you.

♪ >> tucker: fewer than 120 hours remain before the polls

close in the 2018 midterm elections. we are counting. it's getting zany out there and in one state, democrats are trying to discourage hunters from voting and in another, the pro abortion lobby is saying abortion is good for kids. to help investigate these stories and several others, lisa boothe is back with us as she has been most nights for a long time. >> sometimes i can't believe some of the stuff is real. >> tucker: it always gets crazier. hunters shouldn't vote. tell me about this. >> north dakota is the republicans best pickup opportunity this election cycle for the senate. kevin kramer has been up about 11.4% in the real clear politics average.er looks like the democratic party is trying to pull out all the stops to make up some ground. they have been running ads on facebook saying, hunter alert. basically what these ads are telling voters is, if you will vote this election cycle, you

may lose your out-of-state v hunting license. and if you click on these ads they basically either take you to the democratic partye website essentially reiterating the same thing or a landing page on facebook that just has the logos. why this is important, the department of game and fish hass reached out and it essentially said they have no idea what the democrat party of north dakota is talking about. the secretary of state had said the same thing and heidi heitkamp had transferred almost $3 million to the democrat party of north dakota. so she had maybe partially paida for these ads. and the party for republicans are criticizing democrats for voter suppression. they've been under lots of fire for these ads. >> tucker: it would be pretty hard to intimidate hunters. d how great that they are a meaningful constituency in the state.

so of all the orwellian things that i've heard recently, and i've heard a lot worse, you hear it every day. but abortion is good for kids. this is the case that the abortion lobbyists is making? >> essentially what they did is send out this tweet saying that the research is clear, itt doesn't just hurt women, it hurts kids. they linked to an "l.a. times" report about a research done from a demographer out of the university of california, and the argument that this woman is making in her research, 60% of women have children that have one third of them have abortions because of the children that they already have. so somehow the children they already have are going to end ut in poverty or disadvantaged if this woman is not allowed an abortion. my message to them would be, may be if they to help children, they should get out of the abortion business. [laughs] >> tucker: it's like one of those studies, carjacking helps drivers. you are just not smart enough to understand how.

>> right. >> tucker: dana perino hosts "the daily briefing." she's on "the five" every night. she always flies at 35,000 feet and she's a person we go to for the overview. what are the series of races? many elections.th so what are the main themes on both sides as of tonight would you say? >> i would say the closing arguments, if you had to boil it down, you saw president trump today in the roosevelt room, anh i think he chose that. he wanted to give a policy specific speech, not a rally. he wanted to talk about immigration. that is what decided will be a closing argument going into tuesday. democrats on the other hand are talking about health care and it could help them win back the house.cr republicans ran on it in 2010, they won it all. and they didn't deliver on what they said they would do. i think republicans have missed an opportunity to talk more about health care, and their

-- it's going to be a major topic in 2020. their policy, medicare for all, is not that popular.r. in a popular vote however, they want single-payer health care. obamacare is more popular todaye than it was at any other time previously. we have a serious problem in this country. we can have two conversations,ly one about immigration and one about health care but we better start having them quickly. >> tucker: people are terrified about the cost of health care, and i agree with you completely. >> chuck blauhouse at the mercata center, he did the study. that's a huge number and republicans keep driving at home. if you know you are an individual,, $32 trillion, you can't get your head around that. but i do know if i get sick, maybe my business doesn't help me pay for health care or i go bankrupt because of my medical bills, that's very real

and democrats knew that from the beginning and they have focused on that. they will not talk about border security. they are focused on health care. >> tucker: i personally think, speaking for myself as a noneconomist that medicare for all will not work.c it's insane. i also watch the republicans who seem duty-bound to defend insurance companies and drug companies and i'm wondering how long is that going to last? will you see republicans strike a middle ground? you don't have to toe the line of the insurance companies. >> president trump last week put forward this -- government putting price controls on pharmaceutical drugs and lots of european countries do that.t' i think it's a terrible idea and i think you will see conservatives that say, we are not actually for that because ie hasn't worked elsewhere, but it sounds good. it's quite popular. maybe they will be able to make the case. let's say democrats retake the

house. is nancy pelosi pass the opportunity to put price control on pharmaceutical drugs? it would be remarkable if she doesn't want to do that. with a pass on the ability to give amnesty to the dreamers? for a little bit of border security? i think americans want some sort of compromise but i've got to tell you between 2018 and 2020, if both sides going into this closing argument of immigration health care and they both do okay in the republicans keep the senate and republicans -- republicans keep the senate and democrats take the house. what do you think people will run on in 2020? >> tucker: probably trump. >> nothing will get solved, it will be immigration and health care.ha >> tucker: great to see you and thanks for that window into the future. president trump trying to alter america's asylum policies to slow down illegal immigration. 22 million peopleam here illegay as of tonight.ga just a quarter-century ago,

the president's rhetoric ont illegal immigration puts him in the league with a well-known democratic senate majority leader, and that would be harry reid. watch this. >> if making it easy to be an illegal alien isn't enough, how about making a reward for being an illegal immigrant? no sane country would do that,en right? guess again. if you break our laws by entering the country without permission and give birth to a child, we reward that child with u.s. citizenship and guarantee a full access to all public and social services the society provides and that's a lot of services. is it any wonder that two-thirds of babies born at taxpayers expense in county run hospitals in los angeles are born to illegal alien mothers? >> tucker: whoa. sorry about that. john summers is former

communications director, thanks so much for coming on. have you disavowed that? >> senator reid certainly has,ec that was something back in 1993 and in 1999 he came out and said that's a wrong policy position to take and i will apologize for that.. he did that again in 2006. 1999 also coincidentally the second time donald trump changed his voter registration, this time leaving the republican party. >> tucker: trump was a democrat of course. >> people can change and people can grow. >> tucker: i've changed my mind on a million different things but this is really a moral issue. i watched television so i know, this isn't a policy difference, it's a white supremacy position he was articulating. so that means he was a moral and therefore not allowed to meaningfully participate in public life.e.

>> he disavowed the statement and said it was a wrong policy to have. >> tucker: did the senate knowo he had used those terms? what did they think of that, did they whisper about it? >> i wasn't there in 1993. >> tucker: your boss use the term illegal alien, like he is definitely a bigot? >> a lot of people did at the time. that was a term that a lot of people used at the time. more importantly, he took the right position and actually worked with democrats and republicans -- to try to pass comprehensive immigration five years ago we were actually able to do it and the house decided to say no, and there was even $46 billion in it for burger security., >> tucker: that's why there's 22 million illegals in the country. it's all fake. >> i think it's 12 million. >> tucker: no. >> from the trump administration, 12 million. >> tucker: the most accurate,

modern estimate is 22 or more. he makes a pretty tight rational argument therefore denying rewards people who knowingly break our laws. that seems fair. common sense would tell you that's not a bad idea. why did he change his mind? >> he got to a place where he started to better understand people who are struggling, people who are coming up in this caravan will hopefully usest the legal methods to come in and claim asylum for those who choose to do that. h i think he got a good understanding and that's what leaders do. they grow. they learn. and they apologize when they are wrong. >> tucker: i used to support abortion, the death penalty and the iraq war. i know a lot about changing your views. i used to think everything the chamber of commerce that was right. i completely agree and i admire that but i also ask if someone can change my views and someone says, why? and he said if people break the law, you shouldn't reward them

does he no longer believe that? >> after he made that speech, his wife sat him down and saide my father is an immigrant. what you said there was wrong. your position is wrong. >> tucker: why is it wrong? his wife didn't get it, okay. so the rest of us can change our views of there's some c good reason to. what was the fact that changed his mind? he no longer thinks rewarding illegal behavior encourages more of it? >> the history of the 14th amendment, it sounds to me like you are actually in favor of congress being able to decide who gets to be a citizen and who doesn't. that's what the 14th amendment was established. to prevent congress from deciding who can be a resident. >> tucker: no, the 14th amendment was added three years after the end of the civil war to enfranchise african-americans and to knowledge was already true, that they were citizens. it was not designed to let illegal spirit rewarded for

coming here illegally. >> if you take away the 14th amendment, if you take that away, then someoneyo else gets to make that decision. the 14th amendment wasy designed to take that away. >> tucker: have democrats concluded that it's good for america to have people come here illegally and have kids here? honest area making that case? >> no not at all. but we are talking about and you asked about his changing views. the case we are talking about now is if you have people coming in, subverting the law and not living up to its intent, than it something we have to address. we have to do it in a legal way, unfortunately, they can't do it all by executive order. >> tucker: are you cool with it -- because everyone acts like it's only central americans. birth tourism which is a phenomenon of upper income people from china and russia. are you okay with people -- we are at war with them according to democrats. you are cool with russians coming here and having kids? >> no, i actually just told you

where i stand.it it's the law so if we don't like it, we should change theee law. >> tucker: you would agree that you are not necessarily a racist if you oppose it. because that's a position -- you are a racist if you have the russian scam to get citizenship. >> i don't think you are a racist, no. >> tucker: [laughs] thank you. great to see you as always. a women's shelter in anchorage may have to shut down because it will only admit women. huh, that's next.n the president is on his way to a rally and we will be there, of course. >> president trump: i won by 20 points, i know the people. i know the people. fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely.

>> tucker: a women's shelter in anchorage, alaska, it may have a women's shelter in anchorage alaska, it may have to close its doors because it wants to admit

only women who are in fact biologically female. the hope center is currently being investigated by the city of anchorage foror allegedly violating the city's transgender nondiscrimination law. in response to this, the center has sued saying the law infringes on religious freedom. kate anderson is senior counselor. thanks so much for coming on. are we misstating that? here we have a women's shelter who says they just want to admit women.arin what are their arguments for being allowed to do that? >> the hope women shelter exists to serve women and women who have been abused, women who have suffered domestic violence and sex trafficking, some of the most horrible abuse imaginable. to protect those women's privacy and safety and allow them to heal, they keep it women only. they are trying to force the hope center to allow biological men in to sleep next to these women. >> tucker: so i'm confused, where are the people that make a living defending women? have they weighed in, why is it being left to you? >> i don't know but it is so important. i've spoken to some of the women

at the shelter and they tell me the emotional and physical consequences for them if they run into a biological man while -- where they are sleeping. it all started because an individual who is male but identifies as female came to the shelter wanting to spend the night. he was intoxicated. he was clearly injured. and so the hope center paid for his taxi and sent him to the hospital to get the care that he needed, but because they didn't let him into the shelter, anchorage is now after the hope center. >> tucker: i'm just confused. kristen gillibrand of new york, her whole life revolves around protecting women. here you have a shelter forn battered women and abused women that could be shut down by the city. >> i haven't heard anyone weighing in here butod unfortunately because of the laws in anchorage, the hope center hasn't been able to speak out much until very recently about what's going on.

but the work that they do is soo important and they work with other shelters in the area to try to care for all of theit homeless, but their particular role this is to provide the safe and secure place for women at t night. >> tucker: very quick, as honestly as you can tell us, do you think there is a chance they could be shut down? >> what anchorage wants to do is put a biological male in the shelter with these women. these women are sleeping three to 5 feet from each other. these are women who have suffered severe abuse, so that's very problematic and would effectively shut down and take away that safe place, that the hope center has been able to provide.he >> tucker: when this lunacy started, i made two predictions, one was that this is going to hurt women and no one is going to say anything about it. except for you, katie, you are saying something. >> i'm trying. >> tucker: time now for "final exam." can you beat the pros? we just got married.
