good night from washington. got to get some rest, see you tomorrow. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." the president did his second state of the union address last night. hit a panoramic range of topics. everything from economic growth to childhood cancer. notable what he said was, more interesting was the reaction he got. even on topics where you would expect to find some bipartisan agreement, record low black unemployment or the country's thrilling totally unexpected energy boom -- democrats as they heard these words sat in angry silence, watch this response to the suddenlyro controversial suggestion that it's wrong to

kill children. >> president trump: i am asking congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late term abortion children. who can feel pain in the mother's womb. [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] >> tucker: imagine that. for democrats, it was an awfully grim night as you just saw, the only flashes of cheerfulness came when the president noted a record number of women won elections. some of them danced. we'll have more details from the speech and just a minute but first tonight we have still more news to bring you from that chaotic developing nation formerly known as the commonwealth of virginia, the

three highest public officials, all democrats, are embroiled in potentially career ending scandals and it seemed to come out of nowhere just last week. you'll rememberor democratic governor ralph northam casually endorsed infanticide while defending a bill to legalize abortion. then just hours after he said that, he was found to have a picture of men wearing a ku klux klan uniform and black face in his school yearbook pag page. almost immediately the entire democratic party leadership called on him to resign his office and among the most vocal was the attorney general of virginia, mark. herring. he was appalled that northam would do this, he couldn't believe someone could be that racist. then today, herring admitted he too has appeared in blackface which apparently is the equivalent of business casual for democrats in virginia. will he resign over this revelation? will party leaders ask them to

resign? in the meantime we are mesmerized as well by the saga of virginia lieutenant governor justin fairfax, just days ago he thought he was going to replace ralph northam as governor -- then it turned out he too may be forced to resign from office because a professor in california called vanessa thyssen said fairfax violently sexually assaulted her at the 2004 democratic national convention in boston where both of them were volunteering. at the time, fairfax was a body man for disgraced senator john edwards because the details here are just too perfect to make up. according to two sources were in the room, fairfax's first response to the story was "f that bench," not really a reaction to a story of sexual assault. she released a highly detailed

account of what happened to her and it makes for herring reading figure you read it. the response appears to be really obvious because they went through something amazingly similar, another professor from california accused another public figure of far lessg serious crimes with far fewer corroboratingai details. democrats know they have to believe all women, they told us that countless times but this time they don't believe all women, they don't care about vanessa tyson. she's in the way. watch presidential candidate cory booker, a self-described very good person, dismissed tyson completely as unimportant. >> i think we should be focusing on what is happening with the governor. right now my focus is calling on the governor to step down. >> tucker: he's got better

things to focus on then some girl in california who was alleging sexual assault against one of his party mates. cory booker just a few months ago would be disgusted you just saw, back then, politics seemed more important than race politics but now it's the othere way around, it's the never ending car crash of intersection malady. here's a reminder of the way it once was. >> how we deal with survivors who come forward right now is unacceptable in the way we deal with this unfortunately allows for the continued darkness of this culture to exist and your brilliance shining light onto this speaking your truth is nothing short of heroic.ig >> tucker: it was short of heroic then, it was a light in the darkness of our culture that cory booker -- because once again, and incredibly good w person, way better than you, and he went to yale -- was going to shine to make this a better society.

now, who cares about this woman? what to make about this sudden change of attitude. i'm a little bit as someone who has sat figuratively at the feet of cory booker in an effort to be a truly good person to achieve enlightenment, i'm a little surprised by the abrupt change of tone from you are a hero of coming forward to shut up, with got better things to focus on. what would account for that? >> that's really terrible, optically it doesn't get a lot worse than that because as you said in the lead, -- democrats and any politician needs to be consistent with their message regardless of who was being accused. i'm proud that i was very consistent with judge kavanaugh and said he's entitled to due process, innocent until proven

guilty. i think these allegations should be taken very seriously, i'm glad democratic party of virginia is taken seriously, does he need to be removed from office? i said no when it was asked of me but he's entitled to due process but it's not looking good in virginia. >> tucker: you have a marvelous understatement which i admire, no it's not looking gooe in virginia. what is with all the blackface? what? it's a serious question. there are democratic leaders who will say we are taking this seriously but how many have called vanessa tyson -- i'm not advocating for her position, i don't know the answer, i do believe in due process, fairfax could be innocent. when these allegations were made against republicans you saw democratic senators, mazie hirono and the rest, call up the person making the allegations saying what can we do, we are on your side.

volker said you'reer heroic. >> they ought to be, it doesn't matter what side of the aisle you're on, these are human issues. they are very serious ones. it's disingenuous at best, not enough people are coming forward to say this is a serious allegation and should be investigated, i will say the lieutenant governor himself said he's open to being investigated, let's see how far that goes.is >> tucker: i wouldn't presume to claimim otherwise, it's a vey detailed account of vanessa tyson, i don't know anything about her other than her cv -- she has a phd from chicago. >> i understand that she just hired the same attorney as trustingly as he christine blasey ford.

>> tucker: i wonder if we are w for due process, why are all of us demanding that ralph northam -- who i think should resign for his support of infanticide, on the question of his yearbook page -- before we even knew, before he could offer an explanation, that's not exactly due process, is it? or even enough knowledge to judge? >> here is where the tipping point was for me, he first said it was him in the photo, then he backtracked. at that point, he's a public servant, he lost the public trust. once you lose the public trust, it's over, he's got to go. i don't know if i would take this seriously or not but i understand he's considering changing parties to an independent because he has lost so many friends on the democratic side. i might believe that but by and large he's got some serious r issues and it's going to have

ramifications, i'm concerned about that. >> tucker: there are no. friends in politics, merely allies. what do you make of this character it herring who was l e chief law enforcement officer who told us a couple days ago that northup needs to resign -- like a lot of democrats in virginia, he wore blackface too. why shouldn't he wear blackface as well? >> he called for the governor to do the same. which blows my mind because he knew this photo was out there. to his only credits, his only redeeming quality was he told us this himself. perhaps you can make the argument that he hasn't lost the public trust because he came forward with this information, he dressed up as his favorite rapper kurtis blow. that was 1980, i understand. i'm more concerned for the youth of today. you and i at our age, we didn't have camera phones, it was polaroids. i'm concerned about the youth of

today -- >> tucker: not to brag, i wasn't wearing blackface. i'm waiting for cory booker to weigh in on this herring guy.n there is a republican in line after him so i think cory is going to to be okay with it. what does the vanessa tyson story tell us about the current standards among the ruling class for allegations of sexual assault? former federal prosecutor joins us now. you're watching this unfold, three different stories, shifting standards for the rest of us eating popcorn with jaws open, what do we conclude? >> i think it's very concerning when i see the rank hypocrisy among the moral and the thought leaders in our country,

hollywood, democrats, the senate judiciary members who went after kavanaugh and said #ibelieveher #ibelieveher and that's what we always have to do, we always believe the woman, we believe her instantly and that's not happening here. the silence on that side is deafening and i am appalled by it. >> tucker: what do you think accounts for it? it was unequivocably. for the record, i thought kavanaugh deserved due process, i don't think we should believe all women, that's insane, we shouldn't believe all anybody, people live. democrats were as clear that we just ask the medically believe women, what accounts for the change? >> it looks like politics for me. you have to look at things neutrally no matter who the person is your considering prosecution of. when you look at the allegations against justice kavanaugh and

governor fairfax you have to look t at them with the same ey. does this make a prosecutable case? are the allegations credible, what do both parties say? that is not what is happening today with dr. tyson's allegations, they aren't even talking about them much less assessing them for credibility. >> tucker: if we politicize and clearly we have even the process of reporting a potential crime, what effects does that have? do people feel like they can't go to authorities if they are from the wrong party or have thc political effect, that's corrosive, no? >> it has deleterious effects on victims, when you say things like "believe all women" and the other side is saying there's something wrong with her because she didn't come forward many years ago which is common among sexual assault survivors it

shows victims they can't trust anyone and that is my biggest concern here. when victims come forward and many studies have shown survivors delay reporting abuse for years or even decades, we are telling them that they should never come forward and we can't have that asav a nation if we expect to protect survivors and prosecute abusers. >> tucker: it's a totally fair point, thanks a lot for that. the president last night attacked socialism and his speech to congress and he praised the country's energy sector. democrats weren't impressed at all. top economic advisor here to assess all this, back after the break (woman) candace, two minutes.

♪ >> tucker: socialism is in the news for the first time in a long time, senator bernie sanders from vermont and congresswoman coexandra ocasio-cortez have become famous for calling for socialism in this country, the president used his estate of the union to respond to them directly, here's part of it. >> president trump: we are alarmed by the new calls to adopt socialism in our country.n america was founded on liberty and independence, and not government coercion, domination, and control. we were born free and we will stay free. tonight we renew our resolve

that america will never be a socialist country. >>n' tucker: darn, said bernie sanders, he wasn't impressed, he sat looking even grumpier than usual. in case you needed more evidence the democratic party is actually a lot more divided, senator chuck schumer of new york applauded that line or seemed to. there was more agreement of democrats about our energy sector, they are opposed to the whole thing. >> president trump: the united states is now the number one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world. for the first time in 65 years, we are a net exporter of energy.

>> tucker: that means after a century of relying on a series of unstable creepy middle eastern countries who hate us and to support terrorism, america is now where we all said we wanted it to become energy independent. you would think we would be celebrating that, but no, democrats are upset about that --- you just wash them andh they are proposing to shut the whole thing down, the entire energy sector, the fossil fuel sector in a dozen years. ban oil, band coal, ban natural gas. how's that for a platform? austan goolsbee chaired the? council of economic advisors for president obama, thanks a lot for coming on. i'm confused by this, i understand there are some forms of energy that people find preferable to others, that's fair. the united states is now the

biggest energy producer in the world, no longer dependent on middle east oil. if this is the goal we were striving for an democrats look mad about that, why? >> i don't believe democrats are mad about that and the growth of oil and gas and the shale revolution long predated president trump. >> tucker: it's not about trump, i'm not saying he invented back in, i'm not making a partisan point. this was a bipartisan goal, i heard lots of democrats talk about it. we m have to get off the middle eastern oil dependencysm that's forcing us to finance terrorism -- we've done it, they hate it. >> you're confusing two typesf energy. one is about oil and fuels that are predominantly used in cars and transportation, the other is about electricity and the generation of electricity which

is about the use of coal, natural gas, and there has been a huge increase as you know in wind power and a solar and lot of renewable sources of energy. all of those things, the wind, solar, hydropower, those are in the united states. so your allegation that were talking about throwing out the window progress we made toward self sufficiency is incorrect. >> tucker: i'm merely reading the plan for a green new deal which is available online, it's insane and anti-american. we need to get rid of all fossiw fuels in 12 years, that would mean no cars and no air travel because there's no solar airplane. that is the position lots of democrats have endorsed and you the truth.'m tellinghe what is that? that's crazy and you know it. >> i know you have selectively chosen one, there are many different green new deal plans

and you have chosen one that you feel is the most extreme and you are than saying that's with the democratic party thanks. >> tucker: i'm not saying every democrat agrees with it, most democrats don't agree with it because they know what it'ss but they don't have the courage to say to the rising stars in the party only a tiny percentage of our power is produced by renewables, it would wreck the economy and put 10 million people out of work and they don't have the courage to say t that, why?an >> is your view that we should therefore not do anything to support clean energy? i'm asking you because that is the position of president trump in the white house. >> tucker: i'm saying there is a plan that has been discussed in some detail on "meet the press" that calls for illuminating the entire fossily fuel industry in 12 years. it's not some leaflet i found on the subway, this is a real thing

in the heart of the democratic party. >> if you take the subway i'll be impressed. >> tucker: it's called the metro here, and you're dodging the question. >> i'm not dodging a question, you didn't ask a question. >> tucker: why won't anyone call that what it is which is reckless, crazy, and anti-american. >> i'm an economics professor, i'm not a fan of socialism, it doesn't work. you are not doing a service when the people who advocate the most extreme version of the plan which are the ones you are seizing on, their argument is through research and massive m investment we will get the cost of these alternative fuels and renewable sources of energyne dn below what the cost of fossil fuels are today. >> tucker: i would encourage

our viewers if they think i'm exaggerating this for theatrical effect to look it up. if i agree with you, they'll change their views because it's crazy, i think it's important to call crazy crazy. >> if there are improvements to cost as they predict, it wouldn't be crazy. >> tucker: thank you very muchy come out did the rest of the country reacts to the state of the union? ed henry nose. >> this story you are going to absolutely love, the on-air talent look like they were forced to eat a really bad bowl of porridge as they reveal the results of what they call snap polls, instant polls showing what people who watched the speech liked it. these are the snap polls that are not giving us a wide swath of the electorate, just a tiny snapshot of people who watch the

speech. millions of people but it's not the entire electorate. if polls showed the public hated the speech, some might have reported that bad news with glee. the cbs poll showed among those who watch the speech, 76% approved of what the president said overall and get this, 72% said they specifically approved of the president's ideas on immigration. cnn had anns instant poll, 59% said they were very positive about the speech, 17% said they were somewhat positive. that gives the president a 76% positive rating. it seemed like cnn and cvs were surprised by the results.e >> for a state of the union address, the president's supporters tend to turn out and watch the speech, the sister of a president of either party. we saw a heavily republican skewed audience turn out to watch the president's speech. but look at this, a very positive reaction from those who

watched the speech tonight, 59% very positive, 17% somewhat positive, 23% negative. >> an instant poll following the president's state of the union, 76% of speech watchers said they approved of what they heard, 72% said they approved of the president's ideas for immigration. >> very solemn looking indeed that the results were positive, discuss it when i feel in for shannon bream. feel in >> tucker: guess who will be watching that, me and everyone else. it's great to see you. eech. guestsen other cable networks were horrified. they barked and bellowed. like this. >> i saw this as a psychotically

incoherent speech. >> there's nothing that was said last night that is credible, believable or memorable. >> the president of the united states did not mention climate change. it's a disgrace. >> tucker: it's just a disgrace. those assessments compared to the ratings of the former cia director john brannan. here he is. >> i think donald trump raised to a new level. lot of the issues including on the foreign policy and national security front. >> tucker: think about that. if you wanted to reassure americans that the core institution was stable. it was just a paranoid faint.

fantasy. john brannan last job was running the cia. the most powerful intelligence agency in the world. you hear 20 minutes later, we watch him play unemployed political consultant hack repeating the dumbest possible partisan talking points on late night cable. the question is, how did a guy that limited, rise to the very that limited, rise to the very how does a guy that limited rise to the very top of the federal bureaucracy? the agency with the most power and the most of guns and the most knowledge and what exactly did he do with all that power? those of the questions you might ask yourself about john brennan and it's not reassuring at all. what happens in a country where basic questions are decided by

dna? can a country like that functio function? woman 2: i had the common type. man 2: mine was rare. vo: epclusa has a 98% overall cure rate. man 3: i just found out about my hepatitis c. woman 3: i knew for years. vo: epclusa is only one pill, once a day, taken with or without food for 12 weeks. vo: before starting epclusa, your doctor will test if you have had hepatitis b, which may flare up, and could cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. vo: tell your doctor if you have had hepatitis b, other liver or kidney problems, hiv, or other medical conditions... vo: ...and all medicines you take, including herbal supplements. vo: taking amiodarone with epclusa may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. vo: common side effects include headache and tiredness.

vo: ask your doctor today, if epclusa is your kind of cure.

>> tucker: a woman named stacy abrams came the democratic rebuttal to the state of the union, she's not an office holder, she lost the governor's race in the last election. party leaders have big plans for her, her speech last night wasn't much she talked mostly about herself but far more interesting was a piece that she wrote in this month's foreign affairs magazine, it's called identity politics strengthens democracy and if you want to understand what the democratic party seeks for this country you ought to read the piece. she went to yale law school so the article itself is a chore to get to, it's written in that cloying, indirect academic style which passes for erudition, a lot of meaningless adjectives.

by embracing identity, americans will become more likely to grow as one. ponder that for a second, the less we have in common, the more united we will be. is that true? of course not, it's absurd. even stacy abrams doesn't really believe it, nobody does. she doesn't bother to defend that premise much less explain how exactly identity politics will unite this country. unity is definitely not what stacy abrams is interested in, just the opposite. what she is selling is bitterer division. she spends the bulk of the piece calling on what she describes as the marginalized to unite against the "dominant groups." who is dominant and to his marginalized? it's not a small question, in the scheme of identity politics is the only question that matters. everything rides on who was the

victim and who is the oppressor, that's the entire equation. she spells out the answer in very clear language. the marginalized include women, native americans, african-americans,en immigrants, and the lgbtq community. the dominant are everyone who is left, do the subtraction. that's only one group, you know exactly who they are and so does stacy abrams. she says these people, the unnamed people are responsible for the suffering of everyone else and we need to overthrow them. she uses the language of violence and war to describe what must come next. "politics is the most effective method of revolt." people get hurt in revolts, that's the nature of revolts. stacy abrams knows that, she wants one anyway, she doesn't hide that. demagoguery like this would make a kind of sense if your only interest was in winning election and he didn't care about what happened afterward, that's where democrats are right now. the democratic party is an

unstable collection of interest groups, many of them with radically different interests and goals, it's not a natural coalition, there is no reason all of these groups should be voting for the same candidates in every election. the only way to keep a fractious group like this together is by inventing a common enemy that everyone can oppose. you are one of us if you hate these people. it worked for democrats in the jim crow south for about 100 years and that's why they still do it. the problem is these people, these dominant groups as stacy abrams says onto some foreign invader from some faraway land, they are your countrymen. you aren't supposed to hate them or hurt themhe all revolted against them, they is us. we are in this together, we are allhe americans, that's the most important thing, the only important thing. stacy abrams doesn't'toe see itt way, neither do the leaders of her party. they think they can win the next election by telling americans

they must hate their neighbors for the o color of their skin. it's possible this will work one more time but then what happens after the election? abrams doesn't answer that question, she doesn't care about the rest of us should think about it. no election is worth the hatred and division of identity politics, not if you plan to live here anyway. elections in this country used to be decided on issues or that was the common agreement but what would happen to c a country in which power is allocated on the basis of things you are born with, skin color, genetics. that would be called identity politics. the heritage foundation's david joins us with this question, what happens to this country that is run with identity politics? >> in the short-term, it kind of works because the majority group doesn't play along with that,

they do the public self-flagellation to atone for the sins of the fathers but in the long run it's untenable. how much longer until whites say why don't we get to have an identity? and the day that happens, then you get some form of yugoslavia, rwanda, you get vulcanization, or ethnic tribalism, groups citing against one another. it's untenable in the short-term but i don't see how you can have a country in the long run with identity politics in that paradox is it may well create white nationalism, what they claim to a post today. >> tucker: that's something to fear to be really clear because of the results. i don't mean to pick on stacy abrams, shepr represents a much larger group of people who would tell us the same thing which is this works, we must embrace it. doesn't work? you've studied this question extensively, you're aar scholar. is there a country in which this way of looking at the world has produced a stable nation?

>> diversity is not a strength in politics. the strength in politics is unity, if a you want to have a strong, united country you want the citizens to be united. you don't want everyone to be the same, you need to make an allowance for pluralism but it's not good to promote division. i'm fine with having hyphenated americans, what bothers me is if you emphasize the part becomes before the american part. i think you can recognize hyphenated americans but you emphasize the commonalities. the shared history, the shared devotion to republican principles, the love of country. if there's one thing identity politics is strong on, it'sou making you hate your country, making you despise your past, making you hate your fellow countrymen. >> tucker: if you and i hate each other over qualities you born with and can't change, how is the division evernge, reconcilede.?

>> i prefer the left we used to have in america and bernie sanders is the last gasp of it that looks at the class divisions and you still get pretty contentious politics. there is upward and downward mobility, you can't tell which class you are involved with. you can't have a country with progressive class-based politics, you a can't have a country with open borders. >> tucker: nearly 10 million immigrants arrived legally in the united states since 2,000, this show has taken a pretty tough standing -- because it's true, a lot of people who would help this country and ought to be allowed to stay here are prevented by the government bureaucracy from doing so. after the break, we are going to meet a harvard graduate who spent more than a decade trying

to get a green card at for reasons that weren't clear and incredibly stupid, it didn't. we'll hear from her before she leaves this country with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call another insurance company, hey would say "oh we can't beat usaa" we're the webber family. we're the tenney's we're the hayles, and we're usaa members for life. ♪ get your usaa auto insurance quote today.

>> legal immigrants enrich our >> legal immigrants enrich our >> president trump: legal immigrants enrich our nation and strengthen our society in countless ways. i want people to come into our country in the largest n numbers ever, but they have to come in legally. >> tucker: the president wants more legal immigrants, we already get a lot of legal immigrants, 2 million came to this country in 2017 and most of them came on the basis of a single fact -- someone on their family got here first. it's a system based on genetics rather than merit, that has a

downside and one that we have not talked about. many qualified people who should be living here and would benefit arthe united states if they did ared denied admission or the ability to stay. one of those people did not make the cut, she spent a decade following the rules, she went to harvard, speaks fluent english, highly qualified, she spent 14 years applying for a green card, she joins us tonight. like you very much for comingk on. you already seem american, what did you learn about the system? what does the system value, who gets in on i the basis of what criteria? >> the trouble with the legal immigration system is that at the moment it only privileges families, 70% of green cards are given to people because of their family and whether they have a connection to a citizen already -- that's fine. you should be able to bring in a spouse. there is a really big imbalance,

only 10% of green cards are given to people because of their jobs and their skills. >> tucker: did they say to you that you are clearly dangerous, or you just don't have a relative? >> that's the difficult part of it. i spent 12 years working to be eligible, i came here from college, i got my employers to sponsor me, i waited in line, i did everything right. it took two years for them to answer and that the end of the day it all came into a government bureaucrat feeling like he did not like what he sa saw. >> tucker: would it not simply have been easier to go to tijuana and cross over and disappear into the huge unaccounted mass of illegal aliens in ournt country. >> i wanted to do it the right way. >> tucker: where you are rewarded for that? >> no.

i did have lawyers who suggested semiseriously that i could just marry an american because that was easier than following the rules but i didn't want to do it that way.t i wanted to do it the hard way, the honorable way, i wanted my life in america to start off on the right foot and unfortunately that didn't work out. this happens to a lot of people come up 14% my graduating class was h foreign. coming to america, they want to create a life here, they love it here. when they graduate, they have to leave, most of those 14% now live elsewhere and they can go elsewhere. they can go to canada, go to u.k., they can go to australia, new zealand, because america makes it so hard to stay here if you are applying on the basis of the skills. >> tucker: last question, your english is perfect, native. you obviously love america, you spent more than a decade trying

to stay here. you are assimilated in a way that is meaningful, they didn't care about that? >> assimilation does not count. that is an unfortunate thing, when you are actually applying to become un-american in applying for citizenship, there's a citizenship test. you are asked question about the constitution or the founding fathers, you're asked all of this in english. when it comes to visas and green cards, that doesn't play a role at all. >> tucker: thank you very much much. elizabeth warren -- this story is unbelievable, we're going to bring you what you already know. in her own handwriting she described herself in an american indian but what this segment -- the pride of new england joins us after the break with even more details. hear more of her .

being a native american. it had to do with her great credentials. there is nobody at harvard law school or yale law school or university of pennsylvania that come from the university of houston and rutgers law school -- no knock on the schools but that is not where you get these people from. what's coming out here, due to opposition research, tucker, starting to find out the outlines of this rift. it starts like a small-time criminal, shoplifting, she starts out with that cookbook by the plagiarize recipes. nobody calls her out on that. now she files this application with the texas bar. nobody calls her out on it. so she just keeps upping the ante, and a year later, she puts in that she's an indian in the american law school directory. ding, ding, ding, you know what she suddenly is at the university of pennsylvania, ivy league law school, then she's at harvard making major wampum for many moons. $350,000 a year.

she's gotten away with it. you are right, she's all done now, she's announcing her candidacy on saturday, then shall go to seven different states. i wonder what questions the reporters in the seven states will ask her. she apologized nine times today in the course of that press conference, 4 minutes, nine times, she used the word "apology." she is a better chance of being president of the cherokee nation i think, tucker, than being the president of united states. >> sean: just want to be clear, howie, she stalled the identity identity of a racial group to which she belonged but you are the biggest were making fun of her. her so you know. [laughs] >> that is what rachel maddow said. >> tucker: congrats on the patriots, well-deserved for the country's greatest region. great to see you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: we are out of timeto tonight. apparently out of security guards as well because while we were yapping, somebody's knock in. >> sean: here we go again. >> tucker: he did. just snuck in -- >> sean: howie knows boston.

on tucker: is unbelievable is unbelievable. >> sean: who knows every detail of anything. >> tucker: he deserves the credit, he really was almost assassinated by the mafia and boston. no one believed them. >> sean: "whitey" bulger stuff? >> tucker: steve "the rifleman" fleming prides me t wn i can tell you all about the new york mob. ""goodfellas"," "godfather." i gave you ten seconds. >> sean: welcome to "hannity." tonight, president trump's momentous, unifying address, receiving widespread left by the radical left, their friends and the a trip media, not too happy. wait until we show you the reaction and there reacts reaction to the president's pivotal speech. we have major breaking developments tonight surrounding robert mueller himself investigating the investigator, shocking news also for the democratic party, and what is going on
