version of the interview on my podcast. good to see you. "tucker carlson tonight" is coming up next. have a good night. ♪ >> tucker: that evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." antifa went on the attack in portland, oregon, yesterday. one of the victims joins us ahead with an account on what happened. first it has been a bewildering couple of months for bill barr. imagine you are bill barr. verse served at the attorney general and the george h.w. bush, 1991. alexandria ocasio-cortez had just turned two years old. this february, purely by process of elimination, he became attorney general of the united states once again. the mueller investigation was

nearly over when he got the job and he probably didn't expect to become a major figure in the russia story because he has nothing to do with it. as far as we know he never met with secret agents and prague cortex of vladimir putin on his blackberry. if you betrayed this country for rubles or a case of vodka, nobody has ever proved it but it doesn't matter. the russian story cannot die. cnn, "the washington post," many others have too much invested in that story. the fact that has been untrue is relevance. he is a handy way to keep russia and the news. watch today's talking point in action. somewhere in the basement of the democratic national committee, some consultant has decided that credibility is the most effective line of attack. watch. >> we are joining the chorus of democrats joining he should resign. why? >> his credibility wasn't shredded yesterday. >> his credibility was

destroyed. >> this attorney general lacks all credibility. >> he has burned through any credibility he had in that role and he should resign. >> tucker: what we have here is what we always have your every single time, we have projection. they call you what they themselves are, whether it is privileged or bigoted or hateful or fraudulent. the same people who spend two full years with hysteria over a bogus story but the rest of us they tell us with a straight face who lack credibility. these are the people who hated the results of the democratic election so much that they dropped everything and worked tirelessly for years to nullify that election. guess what they're calling other people? enemies of democracy. >> the attorney general joined with his supervisor, the president of the united states decided to show the american people that this is not a democracy. >> stop this attack on our republic and save this nation,

it's democracy. >> it is simply another step in the administration's growing attack on american democracy. this is a grave danger for american democracy and a part of the attack on american democracy by this administration. >> tucker: english is the largest language in the history of the world, more nouns, more verbs than any language ever and yet night after night we managed to find tape of people saying exactly the same thing. almost like it's coordinated. tonight it is, they are attacking our democracy says they guy who refuses to wait till the next election. it went on like this today and on, democrats stopped and try to make a rational case and by the end they were resorting to proper comedy. here is congressman steve cohen of memphis. >> we are looking at images of you with what appears to be a bucket of fried chicken and he brought props i see. what does the message you're

trying to sound? >> the message is that bill barr is a check-in. he was a chicken to come to the house judiciary committee and he does not deserve respect. he has lower the bar for lawyers and the attorney general. >> tucker: he deserves no respect! he has lowered the bar says the guy who brought a bucket of fried chicken. how long does this work is continue and by the way, why is it still in progress? why has not left town yet? he has followed the russian story since the first day and we are happy to have him for the first time in the studio tonight. thank you for coming on. if you think about it it is strange that this is continuing the mueller report is out on the president will not likely be impeached, what is the point of continuing the story? >> the point is everything you just said, namely that in three years the democrats have put all

their eggs in one basket which is that they have insisted the central theme of the trump presidency is that he was a russian agent who collaborated with the kremlin and the election and they all agreed that robert mueller was going to be empowered to connect to the bottom of this and we were going to expect whatever it was he found. what he found was that the entire conspiracy theory was a hoax. there is no comic evidence to establish that it's true and they love their flock to belief, cable networks sign massive increase in their ratings, newspapers saw a huge subscription increases. they made tons of money exploiting people like con artists and now it is like the leader of been a couple of apoc doom day. you keep giving people reasons to follow you and we are now dissented from trump is a russian agent was controlled by the kremlin, he conspired with

the russians to people eating fried chicken because they say bill barr waited three weeks before releasing the entire report that he himself gave to the public. >> tucker: where's the part where we stop and assess what we have just seen for the past three years, hold people accountable for it and learn something from it and move on? >> the reason you are seeing so much rage towards bill barr's because they know what he is not going to do which is what journalists should be doing and at least some of us bar which is asking the question, that is for me the central question in american politics, how is it that our discourse has been drowned out for almost three years by a conspiracy theory were really a set of conspiracy theories as inflammatory and dangerous as you can get? they turned out to be untrue, who started this conspiracy theory? how are the vast powers of the fbi and cia used two spy and

infiltrate a campaign and spy on american citizens in the name of a conspiracy? as a leftist, someone who is steep in the church commission, these are the most serious things that can happen. you want to talk about threats to democracy? how about spying on the calls of american citizens by convincing a pfizer court that they russian agents and then you unleash a prosecutor for 22 months who concludes that they aren't russian agents, no evidence to suggest that that was the case. that is the real scandal. that is why there is panicking about bill barr because they know that he is going to unflinchingly pursue that. >> tucker: i couldn't agree more. that is where the show is turning right now. during yesterday's hearing, he said he was outraged that the attorney general would call fpa monitoring of the the trump can

spying. >> you use the word spying about authorized doj investigative activities. >> i think spying is a good english word that in fact doesn't have synonyms because it is the broadest word, incorporating all forms of covert intelligence collections. i will not back off the work spying and up until all of the outrage a couple of weeks ago, it is commonly used to refer to authorized activities such as -- >> it is not commonly used by the department. >> it is commonly used by me. >> tucker: he of course was right, almost always the guy who speaks in plain and clear english is right. that is why he is speaking plainly because he is not trying to hide anything. a new "new york times" story reveals the previously unnamed informant was used to spy on the trump campaign.

a woman who went by an alias was set to meet with george papadopoulos and try to extract information from him. he has a new book out, how i got caught in the cross hairs to bring down a president trump. probably the most accurate title of a book and a long time. thank you for coming on. briefly describe your experience with the women you believe was sent to spy on the trump campaign by the obama administration? >> that is a great question. i received an unsolicited email in september of 2016 from a man who was suggesting that he wanted to pay me $3,000 to write a report on energy security questions and i was a expert on it at the time and israel, turkey and cyprus. i looked him up because i'd never heard of him. i saw that he had worked in four administrations and he was a professor at cambridge so accepted his offer and he flew me to london where he paid for

my five star hotel and he said before i meet with you i want you to meet my assistant. he put this assistant in an email chain along with me and i saw her name, i recognized it as turkish which was suspicious right away because my policy positions throughout my entire career are very hostile to turkey. when i noticed a turkish name i didn't understand why she would be involved. i went and i met with her and she was very suggestive as you can understand, younger, very flirtatious. i right away understood this wasn't a cambridge assistant and she barely spoke english and she was very flirty and was trying to do two things, want to extract information about my professional connections in the middle east and two to see i had any information that she could potentially extract from meat on a trump russia which is nonsense. after i met with her she then is introduced to me again the next

day where she goes from this suggestive young lady who now pouring his coffee and stuff on him is very belligerent. i explained how belligerent he is and he invited me to castigate me about my policy positions and of course she then took me to dinner and was just basically trying to extract information. i was very suspicious. from that moment i knew there was something wrong and i was laughing about it but now course "the new york times" reported that she was some sort of agent but i don't think she was fbi, i think she was cia. >> tucker: she was dispatched by the obama administration, barack obama was the president and lead the branch including the cia and fbi and every other agency. spying on, the trump campaign. am i missing something? is that what happened? >> that is absolutely what happened and i want to make something very clear. i don't think president trump

was tweeting about u.k. interference for no reason last week, let me explain why. the day i met with them in london i was invited by the british ministry of foreign affairs to meet with them at their office is concluding with tobias ellwood was the number two at the time under boris johnson so clearly when "the new york times" suggested their reporting that the british were told of this operation, i believe the british actively work spying on me as well that i believe part of what president trump was tweeting last week about the printer spying was about this involvement in this operation. i guess we have a lot more to find out. >> tucker: i would remind our viewers, you ended up going to jail briefly. correct? >> i went for 11 nights. >> tucker: you go to jail and you didn't spy for russia or do anything wrong in your life is destroyed, but we should figure out how this happened because, why? i don't know.

>> we definitely need find out. >> you think? your book is a good way to start that. thank you for coming on. the former advisor to bill and hillary clinton. how about that? are you curious, are you concerned? doesn't make you wonder what country this is? i could have happened to george papadopoulos? >> i'm sure he has many positive qualities. this focus on him reminds me of the focus of many people on the caravan to the run-up to the election. everybody in the trump world thought that this was a horrible thing and nobody else did which is why the congress flipped. let me tell you what donald trump said about your friend which is that he is a proven liar. this notion of spying -- >> tucker: i want to know what you think.

he has worked for the u.s. government for cia as a contract spying, he reached out to this kid who had no knowledge of him at all. he is clearly acting on behalf. the obama administration would dispatch spies on a american citizen is clearly what happened. is that all right? >> 15 friendly countries report to our intelligence agencies that there are reports that they are getting, they credit that the russians are in fact as we now know from our intelligence community, trying to infiltrate the campaign and trying to tip the scales. that troubles me. >> tucker: does it bother you he wasn't a russian spy? he got spot on by obama -- -- >> that's like saying they be tom mack babies in cages was done by trauma. >> tucker: he is in charge of that, that was spied on by the obama administration, this guy went to jail but he didn't do

anything. >> he admitted lying. >> tucker: he didn't do that. is that justice? >> he should have gone to trial if he thought he had merit. >> tucker: do have a problem with that? >> we now know donald trump invited the russians to help and they did and it benefited him. i am troubled that no one in the administration is as upset about that as they are about carter page and george papadopoulos. >> tucker: their lives were destroyed. >> our country was attacked according to dick cheney. take that up with him. >> tucker: i don't care how many republicans repeat that line, we are not even certain exactly where that information came from. i'm serious. people will look at it carefully with deep knowledge of this question are not convinced, we've never seen evidence of exactly how those servers were hacked.

why is that i wonder? >> i think i've seen people on this network interview mike pompeo. he was qualified on what they did. >> tucker: let me see how much that means to me, nothing. i don't trust my government because they tell me to shut up and accept it. >> i'm not saying that. every agency was looked into it are unqualified and sang with the russians did. >> tucker: we are not allowed to ask questions? >> the evidence is pretty clear. >> tucker: they have lied. they lied about mass destruction and i rock and they are lying right now on many levels we have a right to ask real questions and i'm going to. >> tucker: i don't care if they are republicans, i don't trust them either and that's the truth. thank you. more parents could face criminal charges and the varsity blues cheating scandal, that is next. another media outlet is being sued with the covington

♪ >> tucker: nick sandmann of covington high school in kentucky is suing nbc for $275 million for its coverage of his confrontation with the supposedly tribal leader, vietnam veteran. the lawsuit says correctly that nbc helped promote the fake story line that he to intimidate phillips, later footage revealed exactly the opposite.

he confronted nick sandmann who was simply standing there. even after it was clear what happened because there were multiple tapes and it showed the same thing, he went on "the today show" and the host badgered him like he was the aggressor. watch this. >> deal feel from this experience that you owe anybody an apology? do see your your own fault? you looked at that video and thought about how it felt from the other perspective. in other words there were a lot of you, a handful of the others. there's something aggressive about standing there. standing your ground. >> tucker: something aggressive about standing. mollie hemingway is a senior editor at the federalist entry joins us tonight. there something aggressive about you sitting there. i feel intimidated. this lawsuit, the upside is that it really kind of offers a very

clear explanation of a fraudulent story. >> it is not the first, two others against two other media outlets and what is important, currently there aren't any repercussions belief or forgetting stories completely wrong. if you were saying this where the media feels empowered to snare people including in this case a child would come out to washington, d.c., for the march for life and they did this over the course of days. they said false things about this boy and his school that were demonstrably untrue and right now there's not a lot of accountability. they get ratings and money and they never really are held accountable. >> tucker: no one pauses to kind of reverse engineer it. how did this happen? it began on a weekend. it is not really a new story, is it? the networks were all over this like it was the most important thing. >> if you were to look into how

this happened would not make the media look very good. it was the way to make a march for life an event they do not cover year after year despite thousands attend. the way to make the march for life look bad and donald trump supporters look bad and so it was convenient. a narrative that they would like to perpetuate and if they would look at their own biases and how they can lead to really bad news, they might to start to think about other issues they have covered poorly. in the earlier part of the show this russian collusion hoax that went on for years and cause real damage to the country including our foreign policy administration of government and you're not having people take accountability for that. like brett kavanaugh who when he was going through his confirmation battle. they don't want to look into it because the entire evidence would come crumbling down. >> tucker: all the destroyed lives and no one stops to say, we just rocked someone's life. we will never work again. >> that is why the story

resonated so much. have done it to adults, donald trump or conservatives, this was a boy. a teenage boy who was doing something good and got smeared. people sense the injustice of that and they want to see someone finally take responsibility. >> tucker: i hope somebody does. it's great to see you. another reserved nominee has withdrawn his name after his character was assassinated. he joins us to respond. plus, and he forgot my by lent and portland, oregon, yesterday and cops did nothing. the journalist who was there joins us after the break. ♪

♪ >> tucker: a group of fascists who set opposed fascism assembled yesterday for may day rally, they called themselves antifa and as usual things got

violent. the journalist was there and he wound up punched in the stomach and sprayed with mace. portland and police did not intervene and they called the event peaceful. here's the tape. [bleep] >> tucker: entirely peaceful. thank you for coming on. describe if you would that we may have missed and that video. why were you sprayed? >> yesterday's event was supposed to be a celebration of diversity and workers rights but in reality it was a celebration of communism and political violence. antifa had mobilized outside of the office and a unlawful protest where they shut down streets and a critical area near hospital and it was there they

did that to my camera equipment and i was punched in the abdomen. both times were by different individuals and i immediately told the police officer was standing yards away and he let me know that if they stepped into interbeing that would be an escalation and that could incite the crowd so he was going -- go he couldn't do anything it if i wanted to i could foul a police report later. later that day there was a brawl, a riot outside of the bar and portland and it was there that i was singled out and targeted by a masked individual who sprayed me nearly point blank in the face of lighted me, fortunately a woman who i have no idea who she is but she led me across the street because i could not see and i was only there as a journalist. i was harassed and attacked all day. on the right happened the police were nowhere in sight.

>> tucker: disgusting. it is disgusting. as of the policy of the portland police not to protect the citizens of portland from violence? >> of course they wouldn't say that. the policy explained to me, the medal of protest but are politically heated if they step into intervene that could lead to a next collation and that is what they want to avoid. >> tucker: i wonder if they would take that same position on armed robbery and rape. the one upside is that some of the fascias wrote white privilege in shock and they misspelled privilege which does tell you everything about them. really quick, i'm glad you are okay. any reason they targeted you? >> i write about the radical left and portland, the epicenter of radicalism on the left.

the other piece is eight write about hate crime hoaxes that i go after the drifters and they are angry about that. >> tucker: they hate the truth. you are a brave man. thank you for doing that. for the second time in just two weeks one of the president's nominees has withdrawn after his character was attacked, they said almost nothing about his views on economics but the moment he was nominated, steven moore was tarred as a woman hater, a nut job, a racist, unbelievable. every vulnerability was hyped to satirical proportions. >> i love teaching law. thanks to what some of you on the committee have unleashed, i may never be able to teach agai again. my family and my name have been totally and permanently destroyed. vicious and false accusations, a

joke. that is a farce. ten days were all this nonsense is coming out on these things are printed and drawn breathlessly by cable news. i wanted a hearing the next day. my family has been destroyed by the senator. destroyed. >> tucker: he is not the only one. a lot of people had been destroyed. fred cavanagh made it through and steve moore hasn't been so lucky but we are happy to have him on the show especially. he is the author of the book, "trump knox." you can defend yourself but let me just say what i was struck by watching your character get impugned is that nobody even mentioned your views on relevant issues at all. it was you are a bad person because you told a joke that must have not been a joke, you

must be a baguette. i was fascinated to see that cnn where he worked up until 20 minutes ago was leading the charge against you. >> let me just say, i am bummed out because i hate quitting. i'm not a quitter so i'm sad about that and people in airports, at restaurants and they come up to me and they were so great to me about to let these guys get you. what surprised me and look, i'm not playing the victim here because the truth is, i have a 0 speeches and articles and i have said things that are impolitic. >> tucker: did you make a mistake of telling a joke? >> i'm not saying that everything i have said, some are stupid and i wish there was a statute of limitations on stupidity because some of these things were 25 years old. >> tucker: who cares!

>> i was excited because when trump asked me to do something, i said this is great. i will have the ability to talk about the economy and the amazing things we can do and it never came up. the left understood from the first couple of days because they did that with the senators, my economic views and that is when they launched this character assassination. the most amazing thing, "the washington post," "new york times," they got my divorce settlement from ten years ago so they could just put all of this dirt on me that had nothing to do with my qualifications to be on the fed. i will debate anyone on the economy and what we should do and what the best monetary policy is, it never came out. >> tucker: he white house should have never given into this. that is more weakness, it draws more aggression. >> the guy who did not want me

to withdraw? donald j. trump. that is what i love about him. he is a fighter. >> tucker: i thought you just resigned there. they are telling me that you are evil. >> this is awkward for cnn because every night they trash me and for the last two years i've been there economics write writer. if i'm such a scoundrel and sextus then why did they have me on every night? >> tucker: what is the answer? >> you would have to ask them. i don't think you should hold accountable, things that were written 25 years ago. they looked at my christmas letters that we would send to friends and families that were jokes. we would make fun of everyone. >> tucker: you have to stand up to these people. it is disgusting what is happening to you and brett kavanaugh and other people. you are always welcome on the

show. good to see you. hillary clinton's world grievance tour is going strong into the third year, massive discount on the ticket but whatever. now she says america is lurching towards tierney because she is not the president. voters disagree, that is ahead. but first it is time for final exam. can he beat our experts? a great lineup tonight. ♪ beacuse changing your attachments, should be as easy as... what about this? changing your plans. yeah. run with us. search "john deere 1 series" for more. the pressure cooker that crisps. it's the best of pressure cooking and air frying all in one so in as little as 30 minutes it will be crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and on your table. the ninja foodi, the pressure cooker that crisps.

"biden has been pro-china for a long time, he wrote an op-ed saying "getting stronger is not a threat to the united states." kind of interesting. why would he say something like that, so demonstrably untrue? maybe he sees a chinese spy -- we are not going to make that allegation. we're just making the point that he is dead wrong, because he is. well, hillary clinton is not running for president, not once again, but she is still in the news. she was on msnbc last night, and she said she is mad because she is not in the white house, and therefore this country is lurching toward tyranny. >> if they find barr in contempt, which they have every reason to because he actually is, he is the president's defense lawyer, he is not the attorney general of the united states. barr's argument about that today, i believe even further than he went in his memo.

verdict. mark steyn. >> i was on the fence, tucker. last it isn't funny anymore. basically, this is the woman who is more responsible than anyone for the totally pointless and discreditable russian investigation that destroyed your first guest's life, george papadopoulos. in november 2016, america is the only country that is the peaceful transfer of power, which i find a little odd because i can't member the last time i saw you belgian or danish prime minister hanging from a lamp post, but the fact is the more people who said it, the more it became conditional, because it was her refusal to lose gracefully that in fact enabled this disgusting last two years in which the losing party's men on the inside have conducted an investigation

into the duly elected president. it is quite disgraceful. she is quite disgraceful. to listen to your friend, richard goodstein -- i like richard, but for him, laughing at what happened, george papadopoulos landed in washington, and the fbi put himn shackles -- shackles -- for doing nothing, and that is all on hillary, because she didn't know how to lose. because clintons shouldn't lose. >> tucker: and she is lecturing us about tyranny, amazing. the self awareness is in short supply, i would say, in washington. mark steyn. >> absolutely, and it could happen to richard and all of the other defenders of hillary clinton, too. >> tucker: that is true. hope it doesn't. mark steyn, great to see you tonight. thank you. >> thanks a lot, tucker. great to be with you. >> tucker: we are out of time, don't know what happened, but we'll be back tomorrow night, 8:00 p.m., the show that is the sworn enemy of my income
