kid. she's reaching out. question and debate policies and like so many unheralded research projects and actions volunteers in the wake of that can affect the sanctity of disaster, ise's helping her human life. community recover. to frame opposing viewpoints as she's our midnight hero. so grateful you spent the bigots -- as a form of bigotry or criminalize them is really evening with us. good night from washington. quite dangerous to a free and open society. >> what i'm struck by -- there's always been forces in every >> tucker: welcome to "tucker society. but quickly, i'm wondering, why carls does nobody empower in that carlson" tonight, how do you know if you're living in a free party standing up against them? society. a quick test -- are you able to say obviously true things in >> because i think there's a public? system of fear and political or were you forced to lie? correctness that has been -- as george orrwell put it in that has really superseded 1984, freedom is the freedom to truth. we have spoken about it on your make 2 plus 2 equal 4. show before. there was a degree of relativism if that is granted, all else that takes prevalence over truth follows. what if it's not granted, what and objectivity. and the if you're required to repeat things you know aren't true. everyone hears perfectly well you're lying but cannot say so preference for pandering to people's feelings and people's emotions take precedence over out loud. if you don't moccasiner isty the truth.
9:01 pm
like it's all completely real. and i think people would rather that's what a pep rally in a apiece the feelings and emotions police state looks like, thanks of persons rather than get to for a bountiful potato harvest the hard truth, which comes by they chant as they starve to death. conversation of divergent pete budidege was in that race viewpoints. right? and emotionalism has taken a few years ago. he made the point all lives precedence over something called matter. he said it because it's true. truth and standard for all lives do matter, no matter what they look like. adjudicating among truth claims in this country. it's a form of moral course every life has value, that's the message of christianity and the civilization it spawned in the cowa west. but in the modern democratic cowardice that it's taken hold in our country. party, that can no longer be >> tucker: you're not a moral acknowledged. so he apologized for his wrong coward. thank you so much. >> thank you. thinking. >> tucker: we described it woke >> 2015, you said all lives matter when you spoke about two fascism. we want to bring in an example. police controversies that were a self-described radical happening in south bend. was that a mistake in? intersectionalist poet committed to feminism, social justice, and >> what i didn't understand at that time was that that phrase armed peaceful protest. just early to mid especially her pronouns have been z, zen,
9:02 pm
2015 was viewed as a counterslogan to black lives and zer. here's a sampling of matter. so the statement that seemed the tweets. very anodyne and something that quote, the only bad thing about nobody could be against actually ebooks is you can't burn them if wound up being used to devalue they're offensive. what the black lives matter if a sufficient number of movement was telling us. feminist s joined isis, we coul since learning about how that phrase was being used to parb l turn it to a social justice parboil -- to push back on that activist, i stopped using it in movement. the police said quit contacting that context. them when they disagree with my >> tucker: i'm sorry i said all lives matter. tweets and they say we don't i won't say it again. live in a fascist state. going forward, only some lives here's an excerpt. will matter, whatever lives the i would go so far to say that party deems meaningful. all knowledge is a patriarchal i'm pent tent and i stand construct because it's been acquired over centuries of male corrected. the crowd nodded, we're pleased totalitarianism. to see your change of heart, every time a man speaks he's comrade. contributing to a culture some dignity as he went through his ritual apology. offette no centric hegemony. beto o'rourke has no dignity. when asked about a harmless joke i never stop talking even when i he told about his wife staying don't have anything of value to say. home to raise the kids, he fell you should read it. you should. because fortunately the author is not real. apart completely. he grovelled, wimpered, and she's the work of english writer and comedian andrew doyle who is
9:03 pm
apologized for how he was born. >> constructive criticism. by the way a genius, maybe too it's already made me a better smart for some of his friends on the left. candidate. he banned and his twitter feed not only will i not say that, but i will be much more thought no fewer than four times. andrew doyle, thanks so much for thoughtful going forward in the coming on. you write one of the best things way that i talked about the marriage and also the way in on the entire internet. and i mean that as high praise. which i acknowledged the truth of the criticism i've enjoyed why do you think you have to white privilege, absolutely. disliked by the people you are undeniable. >> tucker: this is what maoist mocking? are you surprised they see your mockery for what it is? >> not at all. tribunals looked like in the if i was the person being mocked, i wouldn't find it funny cultural revolution. you can picture white pictures either. but the whole point of the scrawled across in red letters character is she's kind of as a warning to would-be pose -- very privileged woman who still thinks she's oppressed revolutionaries. because she's a modern day everyone running for president had to face inquisitions like feminist who believes in this this. they write their confessions of nebulous thing we call the patriarchy. guilt bowing before social media but she never laughed and she and begging for forgiveness. never had a sense of humor about herself. that's one of the reasons i kristen jill brand read her wanted to poke fun at this whole "woke" movement because it's confessions. she once expressed sympathy for humor -- it can't have a joke, the idea of a border. looking back, she's deeply it can't handle a joke.
9:04 pm
it's constantly looking to be ashamed, she can hardly believe she ever thought something so offended by absolutely anything when there's nothing to be immoral. offended about. >> said you were embarrassed of course the woke people aren't going to like this book. about your previous position on the fact they don't suggests i'm immigration. tell me about that. >> i don't think it was driven doing something right i think from my heart. that's right. i first -- someone sent me one i was callous to the suffering of families who want to be with of your tweets, i mean, sometime their loved ones, people who want to be reunited with their ago. and it wasn't clear to me whether it was real or not. families. i recognize as we all do that you must get that a lot. you have people who believe this immigration and diversity is our is sincere? >> absolutely. strength as a country. i get it all the time. i regretted that i didn't look but in the book, i constantly beyond my district and talked about why this is an important quote a genuine modern social part of the united states story. justice activist alongside what >> diversity is our strength, i'm saying and the point is you she says. i once was lost, now i'm found. can see they're not a million miles away from each other. that's what's scary about this. :diversity is our strength. when tatiana speaks and says the this is the new creed. don't ask what it means, that's not your place. only way to stop fascism is if just mouth the words. nothing liberal about any of the government could arrest this, obviously. people for what they say or it's purely authoritarian, woke think, it's a contradictory joke. it's not that far away from this fascism, power over ideas in place of thinking obedience in sort of authoritarian aspect that comes with the social terms for dissent, punishment, justice movement as it stands. lying as an official policy. social justice should be not just conventional lying, the something that's wonderful,
9:05 pm
that's something we look out for. we're standing up against racism ordinary shading of everyday and home phobia. life, but terrifying full it's not that. the way it plays out, it's inversion lies, the exact nothing like that, it's sinister opposite of the truth. the kind of lies that regimes >> tucker: i'm just struck that that seek total control must you're one of the only talented tell in order to maintain their comedians that's been brave enough to make fun of this. power. the latest of lies is low-grade why is that? mafia figure al sharpton is, in . fact, a legitimate civil rights >> you'll note the comedians leader. all of the democratic candidates were told to apologize for an believe that now. this week they trooped over to offen offense. there's not a single joke i the extremely tax exempt could make that wouldn't upset someone in my audience. organization to pretend he's the new mlk. i've had situations where people >> i know that reverend sharpton have been -- i could tell a takes this platform seriously. knock-knock joke and someone could be upset because their this is not the place for talk. this is the place for action. wife was crushed by a heavy door. you can't do anything. i wish comedians would stop >> people like reverend sharpton apologizing. it happened in america, didn't who never stopped fighting for it? with kevin hart. social justice. he made some jokes on twitter >> thank you, reverend. thank you for your wisdom, your and all of a sudden someone's witness, your work. trolled through twitter to dig this up and try to discredit him >> thank you, my deep appreciation to you, reverend and say you can't host the al, for everything that you have oscars and he has to apologize done, not just -- but more all over again even though he
9:06 pm
importantly, over the years to make sure that the count r did it before. comedians should stop for causing offense. it's called the real world. you're going to get offended sometimes. it's sort of funny, isn't it? >> tucker: they're supposed to be the bravest people in our society, that's the whole point of being a comedian, is bravery. and you're one of like two people. who lives up to that. so congratulations. i hope this book does well. the jewish landlord in harlem as it deserves it. a white interloper before his >> thank you so much. store was fire bombed and eight >> sure a lot of people are people were killed. nervous about saying things that >> beto was a manny then. are offensive. i know these people could ruin none of them were woke yet. their careers. they go through everything they are now. you've said. watch them clamor for an idea let's face it, you could go that not 20% of the american through anyone's e-mails and tweets, you can find something population supports, race-based that could be taken out of reparations. context and make everyone look like a monster. >> i've heard i'm sure i read >> congresswoman sheila about that. that could happen yeah, you're jackson-lee has proposed a bill pure as the driven snow. to have a commission with new but, it can happen to anyone. reparations when i'm elected and there's real power in that. president -- would you sign that people say -- the people misinterpret what i'm doing is i'm punching down, i'm making fun of minority groups, right?
9:07 pm
i'm not, i'm punching up to the powerful woke elite. they have so much clout. >> you're absolutely -- i wish bill?would you sign that bill? we had more time. you summed up my world view in a >> i firmly support sheila single sentence. you are punching up against the jackson-lee's bill to study power. that's why they hate you. reparations would you sign a god bless you for what you're bill for reparations yes, i do doing. thank you. >> thank you. there are things we need to do >> the woke left destroys all in this country that's been a that it touches, even touching long time in coming, one of itself. that may be the real lesson of those is to move forward with the joe biden story. the frenzy reparations. >> looks like an altar car. over his hugging is continuing in fact, it is an altar car. tonight. we'll have the latest on that. the modern version. but the bigger question is, will we get reparations in this plus the parents who paid bribes country? the real question is, do you to get their kids to college are want to live in a place where people like the ones you just saw on the screen have more humiliated. could they go to jail? political power? more on that story next after the break. where humor and dissent are criminal acts, lying is the currency of public life, for lawyers whose names you don't know can destroy you for thinking the wrong thing. you've seen that world before,
9:08 pm
twitter, imagine if it had control of the u.s. military. the author of the book "we have overcome," professor, thanks for coming on. so, define for us, if you would, what it means to be "woke," everyone we played on the screen would describe him or herself as "woke," a certain brand of political philosophy right now. what is it? >> a nonconcept. a floating abstraction that has no meaning. "woke" culture means to instill in people a sense of invoking a social justice, social justices that have been inflicted on marginalized groups. what woke culture is successful in doing is inviting people to accuse people who don't agree with their morays or their norms or their sense of encompasses social injustice as bigots,ette no centrists, of racists.
9:09 pm
it's moral bullying in terms of coercing people around what constitutes injustice when constitutes a concept of injustice might be open to moral debate. we're shutting down debate, really, by invoking a nonconcept. woke is really a nonconcept. it doesn't stand for anything. i think when individual rights are violated, we have a right as a moral society to say that individual rights have been violated in this area. but the concept of a woke culture is a movement to shut down free debate, to shut down dissent when so-called perceived wisdom by members of the very, very far left, had been challenged on their viewpoint. >> what you're describing is social control. how could you have a functioning
9:10 pm
democracy, how could you have pluralism under a system that you just described? >> you cannot. i think on issues that affect the public interest, the public, you need to have a divergent -- a multiple viewpoint. you can't have a thriving democracy in which consenting viewpoints are deem newsed, for example, the thing going on with google and the heritage foundation and the heritage foundation being on the artificial intelligence advisory board and have all conservative viewpoints being criminalized. here is an issue about we're -- i'm not an enemy of artificial intelligence, but i think in areas where artificial intelligence can nefariously affect the sanctity of human life, you do need t
9:11 pm
>> jussie smollett had a chance to make his hate crime fiasco go away. authorities demanded he paid $130,000 of the cost of investigating his racial act of political slander. instead of paying, smollett remains defiant. chicago is suing him. smollett is ready to fight. matt has more. hey, matt? >> tucker, high profile defense attorney mark garragos is writing to the city if it proceeds with the pending lawsuit, the legal team will demand eddie johnson give depositions citing how, quote, vested they are in this case. chicago demanded more than $130 from smollett for overtime
9:12 pm
investigators spent as smollett's police report that they insist was a hoax. if he didn't pay the $130,000 by last thursday, he could be sued and fined three times the amount. smollett did not pay. this comes as police chiefs around cook county demand kim foxx would resign for a history of being anti-police and how the office dropped his case. police alleged foxx does not prosecute other solid cases they bring her and lets defenders injure officers without prosecution when officers are coming into my office with a broken kneecap, one of them almost had their finger bit off. and we can't get felony charges? our officers are not punching bags. >> in a statement, kim foxx saying she was not going to go anywhere. she said i was elected to uphold the values of fairness and equal justice.
9:13 pm
i'm proud of my record and i plan to do so to the end of my term and if the people so will it, to the future. a justice and separate attorney both filed a petition to have a special prosecutor investigate kim foxx. tucker? >> tucker: matt finn from chicago tonight. thanks. jussie smollett is not the only person facing a legal reckoning tonight. so are dozens of parents accused of bribery and fraud to get their children admitted to some of america's most prestigious colleges. one parent is pleading guilty. could lori laugh lynn and felicity huffman and other parents face jail time for what they've done. thanks for coming on. the consequences if convicted these people face, do they include jail time? >> yes, they do. the two charges that lori laughlin and other parents face, the conspiracy to
9:14 pm
commit mail fraud and honest services fraud. those carry a penalty possibility of 20 years. i want to point something out for viewers why this is such a big deal. prosecutors use both of these charges as a significant leveraging tool because of the high and long penalty associated with them, right? you don't have to prove there was a public loss of funds in the honest services charge. 97% of federal defendants plead guilty, and of those, 50% get sentences below the sentencing guidelines. so there's a benefit to pleading out, right? and of those, almost 60% are because the government recommended it. and the average sentence for that kind of fraud is 26 months. so, my point is that while these individuals are facing literally 40 years in prison, the average if they plead out because of the decades they're facing is only about 26 months. it behooves all of them not to
9:15 pm
fight this if the evidence is overwhelming. otherwise, they will be facing a long time in prison. >> they didn't volunteer for the trump campaign in 2016, so they won't get 30 years is what you're saying. one last question, has anyone from the colleges been charged? >> no, however the department of education has launched a probe into it. that includes potential for criminal referrals to the d.o.j. the colleges are under obligations, obviously, as steward of funds and to uphold the federal compliance. there's a whole host of requirements that they have to adhere to. so, essentially, the federal government is conducting an extensive probe including how they conduct their application processes especially in the realm of student athletes. it remains to be seen that whether the data found on that probe, whether it's referred for criminal charges. >> tucker: interesting. it's a bigger deal than we realized at first legally. thank you for that.

gender-neutral way. that's not his only view on parenting. not all of his views are insane. after a meeting with mental health experts, he said fortnight, the world's most popular video game offered for free on-line ought to be banned. the so-called loot boxes grants digital awards to players. this makes it deeply addictive, perhaps as much or more as drugs or alcohol. the government and parents should act instead of, quote, i waiting for the damage to be done. the author of the book disconnects and had to reconnect our digitally distracted kids. thanks for coming on. >> thank you. >> tucker: so what do you make of this? i haven't -- i read many stories about the popularity of fortnight ubiquitous among young people, people playing for days at a time. i haven't heard a whole lot of what the bad effects might be? what are they? >> very addictive. that's accurate. here's why? it's a game that's highly
9:21 pm
stimulating. it gets the brain going. it kicks in the body's sympathetic nervous system. you get the rush. like most video games. there's a reward involved. you have things like schemes -- the other thing that you mentioned. there's always for the player, you have the ability to build things, there's a team work element. you aim and things of that nature. all of those especially for kids creates a psychological reward. it activates the part of the brain that uses dopamine. the same substance you get from doing drugs. it's that in a nutshell. if you have kids playing this and getting this psychological reward constantly, you crave that. lots and lots of stories we could share if i had time. >> tucker: anecdotal evidence, you talk about the kids who are ail districted to fortnight. what's the down side? >> what i'm seeing as a therapist and what i'm out
9:22 pm
lecturing, the downside is what happens is kids aren't paying as much attention in school, that's all they're thinking, they can't wait to get home and play fortnight. they're spending a lot of time after school playing. it's compromising the academic work. it's leading to arguments with parents. if anyone who has a child who plays form knight likely argued with that child. the game is recommended for children over the age of 12 and there are countless kids under the age of 12 as young as 6 years old playing this game so it seems to sub plant human contact. if you're spending hours a day, you're locked in a fantasy world without other living people in it, right? >> that's right, the argument people make is you can put a headset on, you can play with your friends which creates interaction. no, that's not real interaction. there's nothing better than face-to-face interaction and picking up on the nonverbal nuances and picking up stuff of
9:23 pm
those in front of us. >> the society for the children, children are our future, wouldn't have they spent some time thinking through the consequences of something this ubiquitous. >> not with billions of dollars to be made. the world health organization, tucker, last june, actually, are a they have now classified gaming disorder as a diagnosable illness here in the united states. it's a disease, an addiction. a classifiable disorder. maybe we need labels like we do for cigarettes. you see this with kids. the kid that would be considered the nicest kid, the teacher's pet. have parents call and say, you know, there are 12 holes in the kids' bedroom. every time they take away a video game, the kid freaks out. that's addiction. 30 years ago, couch potato. it was considered unattractive at best, immoral at worst to
9:24 pm
spend a lot of time passively staring at the screen, like a vegetable. people said that all the time. far preferable to get outside. have we given up on that idea. >> tucker: i fear we have. our kids are more sedentary than ever before in history. that's why we have an obesity epidemic among kids. that's one of the reasons. the natural habitat for a child is the creative world. being outside, making shapes out of clouds, scraping your knees, having fun, throwing your ball against the wall. it's not about sitting in front of a screen. it's not in our human nature. it's no it in the natural development for our kids, that's not what works for them. it's not what they're supposed to be doing. last question, we know the effects of the developing brain of spending three, four, five hours a day playing video games? >> all of the research, my book covered all of this. a lot of research since that has come out. what will happen is
9:25 pm
the brain, whatever engages in whatever's highly stimulating, it will grow neural pathways to adapt to that environment. the problem is when it adapts to the cyber world, it can unadapt to the real world. that's why we see so many issues with kids with poor coping skills, they come out of college, they can't interview well, with a job interview, social skills and so forth. >> >> student: interesting, one of the few people thinking seriously about this. thank you. >> tucker: joe biden is refusing to apologize for hugging people. washington is going berserk over that. we'll bring you the latest after the break.
9:29 pm
>> tucker: two weeks since robert mueller finished his investigation and found what many suspected, few of us suspected, some of us suspected vehemently from the beginning, there's no conclusion between the trump campaign and the government of russia. to that extent, the case is closed. but members of mueller's team wanted to continue the allegations in a series of links to "the new york times," they have complained that the report, despite finding no criminal activity should be released because it's, quote, damaging to the white house. in other words, prosecutors working for the federal government no longer see their job as enforcing the law, instead, it's a political vendetta in an attempt to have narratives of people they dislike. is that the problemer role for a prosecutor working for the federal government. thanks very much for coming on. what do you make of this most recent "new york times" story about what apparently is in the report we haven't seen?
9:30 pm
>> the three-year hoax that drowned the national discourse namely that "the new york times" and "washington post" gives anonymity to people to make claims on specifics and it's impossible to analyze and journalists see it and start celebrating on-line and social media and cable news as though it's some sort of a smoking gun. i don't have personally any problem with having the mueller report published since i don't think this case a special counsel is acting as a prosecutor, they're there to say what would happen. i think we'd all benefit from that so we don't have to have cia leaks. one thing we do know, the complaints about the anonymous objecto objectors, they're not complaining about the section of the letter that reported that
9:31 pm
mueller found no collusion. they're complaining about what mueller said, it's impossible to say one way or the other whether trump committed collusion. it got bolstered because even the malcontents are saying we don't have a problem with the section finding no collusion, we only have a problem with the obstruction issue. >> what about all of the people in the last few years who have been dismissed, you're one of them, as agents of the russian government. where's the justice for them? where do they get their reputations back? >> i think one of the things we've seen in the last few years is that journalism more than ever is a progression of group think and mob rule because it's difficult to be a journalist these days because of financial constraints. laying off huge numbers of people. so if you're a young journalist, the last thing you want to do is stick your head out and challenge the prevailing
9:32 pm
consensus because you can lose your job. if you lose your job, it would be hard to get another job. and also twitter makes it so that journalists constantly talk to one another and create these sort of gangs that designed -- that are designed to punish anybody who challenges their orthodoxy. and i think journalism completely disgraced themselves at the exact time they're claiming a grave danger of republic is that trump is demeanoring journalists. they've done more with their behavior with this calling people trump supporters or a whole line of accusations and new terms to stigmatize anyone who questions their dissent and it's effective for a lot of people who unlike us don't have established platforms and it's been really effective to prevent them from being questioned or challenges. >> tucker: here's a question i want to ask you for two years. you're making your critique on the left. you're on the left.
9:33 pm
you're not a trump fan. that's a tough position to make and you've maintained it the whole time. why were you able to entertain an independent perspective on this when so many weren't when you think about it, the question, is there evidence to demonstrate that there was collusion between the trump campaign and the russian government is completely bereft of ideology. it doesn't matter if you're on the left or right, you're looking at evidence. and one of the things that has happened is that everything is so tribalized. they want you if you maintain your good standing on the left, to lie. they're demanding you lie. they're demanding you say you see evidence and a convincing case for a conspiracy theory even if you don't really see it. i have to say unlike established journalists who have the protection of being established, there were a lot of young journalists like michael tracy and aaron markay and a bunch of
9:34 pm
others who were vulnerable and had the courage to incur the wrath of the profession in order to do what journalists should do which is to say what it is they think without fear of who it angers. very few are able to do that. na >> tucker: agree. we've had them on the show a number of times. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: joe biden is not apologizing for hugging people. after the break, we'll have the latest.
9:38 pm
>> tucker: we showed you all of the democratic candidates appearing at al sharpton's extremely tax exempt conference to pay how many annual to him. they weren't the only ones there. young pioneer alexandria ocasio cortez came too. he was there to test out a brand new accent, one you probably haven't heard her put on before. listen to this. >> the fight's been long, y'all, this is what organizing looks like. >> that's right this is what building towers looks like. i'm proud to be a bartender. ain't nothing wrong with that. >> tucker: ugh. oscar worthy. we'll let you decide. she issued a statement, i'm from the bronx,
9:39 pm
that's how you talk. that's not how you talked, actually. we played a lot of clips of alexandria ocasio cortez, she didn't talk like that in one of them. that's fake. a huge amount of news, an explosive amount of knews, so a better time to debut a segment idea, the news explosion, where our favorite former secret service agent reveals the biggest news stories of the week. the explosive dan joins us live. hey, dan that's some intro. the news explosion, man. >> tucker, i have to tell you, nobody teases a segment like you. >> tucker: we're going crazy. i'll try not to disappoint here. the third story is rough. being a former police officer, tucker, seriously, the worst cases you respond to are missing children. we have this story where the guy shows up. he pretends to be a child who went missing in 2011, a child by
9:40 pm
the name of timmothy pitzen, i believe it is. he's not. he has dna testing. brian rini with issues. a horrible story, all over the news this week. i've been a former cop, why would you do that? >> tucker: it was awful. >> it was a terrible story. so we have that story. story number two, an issue close to your heart and close to mine. listen, this noncrisis crisis at the border is completely out of control. i say noncrisis with the dreaded air quotes because the democrats want you believe nothing is going on. i want to put this in perspective. i live in palm city, florida, it's no it a small up to. it's not new york city where i grew up. it's a lovely place. medium-sized town. 23,000 people. in 12 days, we had to let go 17,000 people in the country illegally in just 12 days who
9:41 pm
crossed the border. not vetted, we have no idea who these people are. basically, the entire population of the town i live in in 12 days. but don't worry, tucker, it's not a crisis. everybody at ease in the studio, are you in dc today, i don't know? there's no crisis, don't worry about it. everything is a-okay according to the liberal. >> tucker: they can say that with a straight face in their gated communities, peaches and cream. no problems at all. cheap labor, gated communities, no problem here. >> tucker: totally true. >> we could go on about that. >> tucker: i agree. >> i have story number one, but thinking i'm changing it to that aoc clip. what is it with democrats changing the way they talk? be genuine, gosh? what's the deal here. >> tucker: if you were in the audience, how patronized would you feel if someone talked to
9:42 pm
you that mimicked that accent. >> almost as patronized when hillary clinton said -- i can't do that -- just talk, these are human beings. you don't have to patronize them trying to be something you're not. it's artificial and phony. speaking of which, story number one in the news explosion. you teased this segment. joe biden, not just a guest. i enjoyed your show thoroughly. your interview about the touching episode is incredible. the opening segment you said, listen, let's not fall into this leftist trap and have this antiseptic sterile culture. you're right. but, tucker, two takeaways from this. number one, where the heck is barack obama? i'm not a democrat, but i was a secret service agent, proudly, for barack obama. i'm not a bitter democrat.
9:43 pm
he won the president. happy to serve. this guy served with your for eight years where is he? he's been oddly quiet on this. and second, tucker, listen, we know the liberal rules are nonsense. liberal rules are garbage. but if the liberal rules are -- their credo now is that women are to be believed, our rule is women are to be respected, victims are to be heard, absolutely, be investigated, but evidence is to be believe in a due process society. if the liberal rule is that women are to be believed no matter what, then democrats if he's your nominee will expect you to stand on your own principle. show us what you believe and ask joe biden to step aside if he wins the nomination. you won't do this. this is about political power. this is nothing -- >> tucker: you're right on all counts. psi wonder, eight years, biden was running around violating feminist law hugging
9:44 pm
unwilling huggies. obama never said anything about it? >> odd, he's supposed to be at the spear of liberal ideology. they're all woke, right? i don't want to take too much time. this is creepy. may not have been illegal. he'll have to deal with the close talker. >> tucker: great to see you i hope i didn't disappoint. >> tucker: you didn't. in the past two decades, polar bears have ceased to be near animals, now talismans, living symbols of man kind's global warming trends. a starving polar bear's video reached hundreds around the world. global warming the driving polar bears to distinction. the way to stop that is to give the left total control over the global economy. turns out polar bears are not dying. they're not in danger.
9:45 pm
in fact, over the last 50 year, the population of polar bears has quadrupled. overpopulation is now the problem. susan crawford knows about this, the author of the new book, the polar bear catastrophe that never happened. she joins us tonight. thank you for coming on. >> it's a pleasure to be here. >> tucker: so, this is news to most of us who imagined we're down to our last dozen polar bears. there are more than there were? one of the things that happened was back in 2007, we were told that polar bears were acutely sensitive to the effects of global warming. as it turned out, the bears are much more flexible and resourceful than they were given credit for. one of the reasons we know this is that it turned out in 2007 the sea ice declined
9:46 pm
to levels that were not predicted to happen until 2050. >> tucker: righ so. so rather than 2/3 of the world's polar bears disappearing in that time as we were promised would happen, in fact, polar bear numbers have increased. >> tucker: so, you're a zoologist. learn about polar bear, but you've been attacked by many in the climate establishment as a denier, as a subversive person whose voice shouldn't be heard. this seems like a fairly straightforward question. they told us the polar bears are going extinct. you're certain they're not. why is this controversial? >> well, i the original proclamation of polar bears becoming extinct or being
9:47 pm
threatened with extinction back in 2007 was that polar bears were raised and used as an icon for global warming. it became an important talisman for the whole movement. and this bad hole level of the argument is being protected. one of the reasons i'm being attacked is that i'm using the data, the scientific information that the biologists have collected themselves, i'm using that against them. all of this in the scientific literature. >> tucker: these are people who claim they are standing in defense of science, you're marshaling science, and they're attacking you. does that confuse you? >> absolutely. it does confuse me. but i think it's why i -- it's why i can stand on solid ground.
9:48 pm
the sphinx i'm using to support my statements are in the scientific literature they wrote. >> tucker: it's a remarkable story. thank god, polar bears are noble and beautiful animals. you'd think people were happy about them not going extinct you would think. but it turns out the whole idea that you can blame the polar bear decline on global warming saved the careers of polar bear specialists. so it's in their best interest to make sure that this concept stays in the public limelight even though it's a lie. they don't care about polar bears at all. >> yeah. >> tucker: and you do. thank you for your bravery. you've taken a lot of crap for this. good for you.
9:49 pm
>> thank you. >> tucker: out of time. end oh it was week. back 8:00 p.m. monday, sworn enemy, smugness and group think. have a great weekend with the people you love. >> sean: all right, welcome to this busy news breaking frizz night. tonight the disparity between president trump and the democrats vying to take his job could not be more clear. the president spent the day today in california working to fix a serious significant crisis going on right now on our southern border. several 2020 democrats spent the day in beautiful new york city pandering to so-called al sharpton. how
