♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. how about this as a mental exercise. try remember back to the year 2009. it was only a decade ago but it feels like a totally different era and enemy ways it was. in 2009, most people didn't have smart phones. late night television was still funny. the democratic party was still pretending to put the interest of american citizens above those of the rest of the world in september of 2009 president obama gave a speech about healthcare to giant session of congress. you may remember it. one of obama's most emphatic promises in that speech and in fact during that whole season was that foreigners living in our country

illegally would never receive benefits under his plan. he said that repeatedly but not herb believed him. >> always those that claimed reform efforts would include illegal immigrants. this too is false. the reforms i'm proposing would not apply to those here illegally. >> you lie. >> not true. >> you lie yelled someone in the room. that man was congressman joe wilson of south carolina. for the crime of being rude to saint obama wilson was instantly denowpsed by his fellow republicans, totally disrespectful huffed john mccain who himself spent decades yelling obscenities of people on capitol hill. jimmy carter called wilson a racist. and yet it turns out that joe wilson was right. a decade later the democratic party has abandoned any pretense that

america exists to benefit americans. they tell us our country is innately evil conceived in racism for the purpose of oppression. we are a sinful nation and to redeem ourselves we must sacrifice for the world's poor. among many, many other things. this means paying the healthcare bills of foreign nationals who have no right to be here in the first place. watch joe biden explain. >> look, i think that anyone who is in a situation where they are in need of healthcare, regardless of whether they are documented or undocumented, we have an obligation to see they are cared for. that's why we need more clinics around the country. >> tucker: whether they have documents or not, this isn't a fringe candidate you saw mike gravel or some green party wacko that's the former vice president of the united states. now the frontrunner for the democratic nomination. as of tonight joe biden is up by 25 points over the rest of the field.

two years from now biden could easily be president. chances are his running mate would be senator kamala harris of california and over the weekend harris made it official she agrees with joe biden on this question. illegal aliens deserve full government healthcare. watch. >> so you support giving universal healthcare, medicare for all for people in this country he wil illegall. >> let me be very clear about, this i'm opposed to any policy that would deny in our country any human being from access to public safety, public education, or public health, period. >> tucker: let me be very clear about this. so you know you are not taking her out of context. we even got the hand gestures. she is telling us that we have an obligation to pay the medical bills of every illegal alien in this country. period. as she said. now, how many people would that be, exactly? well, we don't know. in fact, we have no idea.

thanks to lobbying from elected democrats like kamala harris, nobody knows how many illegal aliens live in this country right now. could be 12 million. could be 40 million. one thing is for sure once the rest of the world knows that we are passing out free healthcare there will there will soon be many, many more. how much will that cost our country. who will pay for it. how many more doctors and nurse also we need to provide that healthcare? how many more hospitals and clinics will we have to build. joe biden says we have to build some. how many? no one is saying. no one is saying anything precisely about it. they haven't thought about the details. that's odd. our healthcare system is already overpriced and inadequate. in fact, that's the main reason democrats won in the last election because they promised to make it better. now they are telling us the solution, the way they are going to make it better is by giving unlimited free medical care to foreigners who break our laws. that's just lunancy. there is no other way to put it. of course, it's getting virtually no coverage. the media have no interest in talking about something

that might embarrass their party. unlike the phantom threat of russia this actually matters a lot. we will look a little more deeply in this tonight. joining us first is chris jacobs director of research group thowfer the upcoming group the case against single payer and he joins us now. chris, thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: let's say we will go with the lowest estimate 12 million. 11 or 12 million illegal aliens in the country. just with that estimate. any sense what this might cost us? >> you are talking about tens of billions of dollars a year rough math of $5,000 a year for a family -- for an individual, you know, that's $50 billion right off the bat you are talking about. >> tucker: and i want to be fair about this because this is the frontrunner for the democratic nomination and running made he is likely to choose at least of today. purportedly serious people. is there any obvious benefit to american citizens that would justify that cost?

>> one obvious benefit would be community control cable diseases, outbreaks, measles, whether it's, you know, some kind of birthday panc that would start and expand to citizens. >> tucker: to be clear. that's what they're proposing. not proposing we set aside money for quarantine they are talking about full universal healthcare which would cover everything? >> you are correct. >> in 1993 hillary clinton testified before congress she supported emergency care for undocumented illegal immigrants. she said specifically we do not want to make the full benefits available to all undocumented illegal aliens. the democratic party well to the left of hillary clinton. >> tucker: i'm not sure that's left. make a case for universal healthcare that a lot of republicans would agree with by the way. what you can't make is a case for universal healthcare that includes the entire world only paid for

by american taxpayers, a divinsd links group. >> that's true. >> tucker: that's not left wing that's like deminted. >> bernie sanders said you are for open borders he said no, technically i'm not. i'm not for open borders because we have a lot of poor people in the world and if we open our borders and let everybody come in they are all going to come for free healthcare and free education we can't do that harris and biden are well beyond even bernie sanders the socialist. >> tucker: so have you just written a book on healthcare on the question of healthcare and how we pay for it. i can't think of in the democratic primary so far so far a more radical position that anyone has taken or a position that's going to have a longer and proper more employee found topic of healthcare there are a lot of radical positions.

forcing doctors to perform abortions. all of that are various that are being proposed out there. why would american taxpayers spend their hard earned money to fund healthcare for foreigners and people who come to the country illegally or just come to the country because they want free healthcare? >> tucker: notice we are not talking about that. none of the other channels in my office they're talking about will dom jr. testifies? who cares? serious issue and being egg northward. thank you very much richard goodstein is a lawyer and advisor to both bill and hillary clinton and frequent guest on this show. richard, i'm not shear to attack anybody personally. this is universal policy prescription that they have laid out. how does this help americans who already have inadequate overpriced healthcare? >> two quick things first. >> if donald trump had delivered on the wall that

mexico was going to pay for we wouldn't be having this discussion. >> tucker: glad i'm glad you are come around and supporting the wall and deport every single illegal person here today. >> biden and kamala harris saying we want to care for somebody who is sick in this country and donald trump's supporters saying shoot them and him. >> tucker: shoot them? >> him taking a big joke. you know what i'm talking about. >> tucker: nobody is shooting anybody. i know. >> hurting people by laughing about it. >> tucker: this is insane. hold on. we have the frontrunner for the democratic nomination up 25 points and i can read you the quote, again. i'm looking. >> nothing about -- >> tucker: in need of healthcare regardless of whether they are documented or undocumented we have an obligation to see they are paid for. >> i don't understand how you can ask american taxpayers already under served in healthcare, a indicates democrats make all the time to pay for the healthcare of illegal aliens?

what? how can you make that request? >> so people show up at hospitals all the time who have no healthcare coverage, right? and that -- and they get treatment. that's been the law for decades. >> tucker: yes. >> frankly, if you look at the bible i'm not one to quote the bible but there are dozens of portions in the bible caring for the sick. specifically down trodden. >> tucker: this is theocracy now? the bible also calls for stoning people. what are you saying the that people proabortion people are lecturing me about the bible nowncht i'm not lecturing you but the notion we have somebody in this country sick and kick them to the curb that's what joe biden and kamala harris. if somebody is sick they are going to get care. nothing about universal anything. you can't find that. >> tucker: i'm quoting now. this is the question. this is a verbatim quote from this weekend. >> i understand. >> tucker: so you support

giving universal healthcare to all people who are in this country illegally? let me be very clear says the senator from california. i'm opposed to any policy that would deny in our country any human being from access to public safety, public education or public health, period. universal healthcare for illegal aliens says -- she just said that. >> she is saying if somebody shows up and they're sick. >> tucker: that's not what she is saying. do you support giving universal healthcare to all people in this one can i illegally yes. >> she didn't say yes or no. >> tucker: any policy deny access to public safety public education, period. this is a lunatic position that we can't pay for that the public hates. why are these people saying this? they will wreck this country if they do this. >> this is not novel. have you problems with what the democratic party stands for, right you? are on record about that. the democratic platform actually that was approved

in 2016 called for basically giving care to people who are here who needed it who are undocumented. >> tucker: it's insane. >> she didn't say yes to universal. she said let me be clear and stated what her position was. >> tucker: can illegal aliens get dialysis, cheney, hair transplants, anything prescribed in universal healthcare coverage what don't they get? where did doo we draw the line. >> true for every single american that doesn't have healthcare coverage. >> tucker: point is to cover american citizens. there is a difference between citizens and non-citizens. >> thanks to donald trump, joe biden was the administration 20 more million people got coverage thanks to donald trump, millions fewer have it and people with pre-existing conditions are scared to death. >> tucker: and now we are saying that we are going to take precious healthcare dollars and give them to illegal aliens and that's okay. there is nobody who is for that noble is for that. >> i think people actually feel some sympathy. >> tucker: i feel a lot of sympathy. >> people want them to be

here and work. either productive and healthy. >> tucker: i want them to go to their own countries and come here legally period. >> democrats passed a bill as we said before in 2013 with a lot of republican votes that would basically solve this and paul ryan kept it from coming to a vote. we could have a vote on that today and it would pass. >> tucker: this is getting scary and you know it's true. >> i don't think so. >> tucker: richard goodstein great to see you. thank you. candidates denouncing one another for how much too much privilege. one of those debates you just can't help but enjoy. plus, actress alyssa milano says women should launch a sex strike protest not enough abortions. you can't have sex with alyssa milano until abortion laws are liberalized. mark steyn here to discuss just ahead. ♪ ♪ ♪

democratic party works. in march he said beto o'rourke's popularity was because, you guessed it, racism. >> why beto o'rourke and not andrew gill lamb and stacey abrams as the darling of the media? >> i don't think that success is zero sum so i don't want to disparage or take away from the reaction and the legitimate response people had to his campaign. i do want to call to question and i would challenge people to consider why we were not lifted up in the same way. i think race plays a part of it. >> another graduate of yale law school. they all went to yale law school. richie i don't know if you went to yale law school the head of the democratic party in georgia he joins us. good for you. i'm glad. did i not. i have mixed feelings about this. i have got to throw it out there. it's a little weird the party that's against white privilege has elevated all these old men to positions of prominence in the democratic primary, isn't it?

you can't contextualize white politics. white privilege is a things. i know many will say well, this is simply something outside of the political hemisphere but also inside and outside of the political hemisphere. let's talk about mayor pete. you just talked about how mayor pete is doing well in the polls because cory booker allies are saying this has to do with white privilege. you forgot to mention where mayor pete himself said this has to do with white privilege that himself has been a white man for 37 years in the united states and he has interacted as a white man. >> tucker: he has been a white man for 37 years. >> that's right, tucker. >> tucker: he has been a white man for 37 years. has he been arrested for this? no one noticed until now? he is now admitting it? how does this happen in the democratic party? he spent 37 years as a white man and nobody called -- i'm just laughing. how does your party get

so -- >> 37 years. listen to the point. because of that, he is best able to articulate his own experience as a white male in american society. and let's go beyond just these two candidates because i think it's unfair to create some microcosm to explain macrocosm of race in this societal construct. the term white spriflg probably overused. i prefer the term white preference. white preference goes back to the 1940s when the clock adog study was done two psychologists put a white baby black baby doll in front of black children. black children in a segregated society chose the white baby doll as the one who was well behaved as the one that was smart. as the one that was beautiful. fast forward to integrated society that study has been duplicated tucker over and over again by psychologists and the results are still the same. >> tucker: let me just ask you a sincere question.

there is all this white privilege and all this unconscious racism. we have to smash it. we are all doing our best we are as woke as we can be. why is it john hickenlooper benefiting from this? he seems very white to me and incredibly privileged and yet he is at the very bottom of the polls. when does he get to use this white privilege power or preference power as you say. >> once again, tucker, you are utilize ago microcosm to explain a macrocosm. taking political figures like joe biden or senator booker to explain a dynamic that existed with regular every day people is not the best example. we are talking about statistical data, for example, 2005 to 2008. >> tucker: give it to me quick we are almost out of time. >> very quick in new york city 2005 to 2008, 80% of people stopped and frisked a part of that system were african-americans. they were 42% less likely to actually have a weapon than a white person and only 10% of white people during that

same time were support of that stop and frisk upon no, ma'am that. >> tucker: they were not 42% less likely than white citizens to have a firearm that's not true. >> yes, they're. >> tucker: actually you are wrong. >> came on this show. >> tucker: well, we will rush to google it right after. i appreciate. >> please do. >> tucker: thanks very much. >> thank you. >> tucker: last week lawmakers in georgia passed a bill that tries to ban all biewrgses after a fetal heart beat can be detected about six weeks in the pregnancy. seems like a compassionate thing to do. not everyone agreed though. actress alyssa milano says women should fight back in the bedroom. last friday milano tweeted this: author and columnist mark

steyn joins us tonight. so, mark, message, you can't have sex with alyssa milano until we get our partial birth abortion back. what effect is this going to have on america? >> well, it's weird to me because the rationale for abortion, such as it is that abstinence education doesn't work. so we have to have abortion because abstinence doesn't work. but abstinence apparently does work when alyssa milano is commanding it. you just read out the tweet. it's actually fantastically worded. we just cannot risk pregnancy. join me by not having sex. so, on the day that doris day dies, we are basically back to the sexual morality of doris day young at heart circa 1954 in which hollywood actresses now are promoting because the risk of pregnancy from having sex

are too high. wokeness eventually brings you back to the fame dank slumbers of 60 years ago. it's amazing. >> tucker: if you were to do a study of the unhappiness people in america, and then isolate the people with the most influence over our social policy, it would be -- the unions would be 100 percent. the more unhappy you are, the more influential you are over how people live their personal lives. why is that? how did we get here? >> well, i think that's what is very interesting. a lot of these so-called activists and this is a very weird reaction to a piece of public policy. it certainly is a lot more draconian than just trying to win a few local elections in georgia. but as you say, the happiest people according to all the surveys are all the uptight republican squares getting boring old marital sex. all over the country now there are little pa jammy boys who agree with alyssa

milano a lot of things and she still won't let them get to second base. it's a tragedy. [laughter] >> tucker: like why is it -- it's sort of unspoken in all of this is the idea that having kids is literally the worst thing that could happen to you. >> yeah. >> tucker: likes the end of whatever your stupid career is or the things you think are so important in your life which by the way mean literally nothing in the end. where do we get some place where a whole political party believes like having children is like a punishment? >> what's interesting is that is there was first booted by astai aahis aaristophx is transactional thing for women. bette midler for example has joined alyssa milano's sex strike today. i remember that -- i mentioned doris day. i remember the old doris day joke oscar i never thought

we would learn long enough for the line i knew bette midler before she was a virgin to become a thing. i think they do not realize how deeply weird they sound when they intervene on rather dull matters ever just electing more of their side to the legislature would solve this problem. instead of doing that they are proposing crazy ideas. >> tucker: i don't think they can help it? >> i'm in favor of more chaseness. if actresses are become chased as opposed to twerking all over the screen, then i'm for chased actresses rather than twerking actresses. >> tucker: especially if the argument is we are so mad we are going to stop reproducing. okay. >> yeah. pity the pajama boys. tragedy. >> tucker: mark steyn, great to see you as always. thank you. >> thanks a lot, tucker.

>> tucker: suddenly in big american cities homeless seem to be everywhere. that's not any imagination. on any given night half a million people sleep outside in this country. enough people to fill yankee stadium 10 times over. more homeless people in america right now than active duty troops in the u.s. army. in fact, had their own state have almost as many people

as wyoming does. even as the economy has grown the homeless population has grown with it. who are these hundreds of thousands of people and how did they get there and why? what are we doing about it? what is this anyway? the west coast is the epicenter of the problem and we sent our producer cougar sent journe journey 8 cities in three states. heroin addicts living along freeways in seattle. college town trying to clear sidewalks so people with k. walk. rv dweller living next to the richest people. housing costs are zero. across the west we found places in america that are almost third world in their decay and disoorgs and the chaos. often we found homelessness and rampant drug use in places you would never expect to see them. this is the complicated problem. there is no obvious solution. at least no obvious one solution. one explanation you hear is

mental health problem. and people say the government contributed to the crisis when it started discharging patients from mental hospitals and shutting those hospitals in the 1960's, there is truth in that, clearly. it's a factor. it doesn't explain everything. government estimates that just about 25% of our homeless population is severely mentally ill and that seemed about right. we are struck by how many of the homeless we talked to were not mentally ill. many were totally coherent. some of them were witty even. another explanation is that sky high housing prices in places like california force families out of their homes. and that can be a factor, too. but it's not the overall answer to the question what's going on. because we found homelessness in places where the real estate market had collapsed. places where apartment rentals go for just a few hundred bucks a month where working class people can afford to live. really it's a question of drug addiction, alcoholism, financial problems. healthcare costs. housing costs. and family dissolution. they are all part of the cause of homelessness. in fact, in every story we

listened to, at least some of those factors played a role. it's still confusing exactly what's going on. to find out we began in san francisco one ever the richest places on earth. san francisco has nor billionaires per capita than any city in the world. the reason well nearby silicon valley generated unprecedented wealth there were several multi-billion-dollar ipos this year alone. beneath this wealth is extreme inequality. the city of san francisco has thousands of homeless people living on the sidewalks. if you have been there recently you know that's true. the city has a flourishing drug scene. some of neighborhoods have opened their heroin markets in broad daylight. cops do nothing about them. despite its blooming economy, san francisco has lost its grip on its homeless problem and struggling to provide basic services. here what happens we found when we went there. this was the scene outside our hotel in san francisco. a homeless man hungry for dinner digging through a trash can for food.

the epicenter of homelessness in san francisco is the tender lion neighborhood blocks from tourist attractions like union square and major thoroughfares like market street. in th the tender lion we saw junkies shooting up in broad daylight and makeshift flifs one threatened to stab our camera crew because we were filming there. in this photo a mother and daughter standing from a man too intoxicated to put on his own coat. the city has 470 intravenous drug users per square mile. one reason so many homeless congregate in the area is a place called glide memorial church like the city around it. glide is political and post christian. back in the 1960s, it removed its crosses to be more welcoming. this man was out cold on a sidewalk just blocks from the church. next to him a partially eaten birthday cake. syringes that the city passes out and water packet to help addicts cook heroin on the street. how does the city this rich

get so dirty? one reason san francisco no longer enforces quality of life citation like sleeping on the sidewalk or public urination. the city used to use citations as leverage to get people off the streets. but, in 2016, a liberal judge called christopher hyatt flushed all 64,000 outstanding warrants for quality of life crimes. every one from 2011 to 2015. but it's not just quality of life crimes. san francisco now finds it difficult to enforce any law. >> there you go. just broke in. >> smash and grab car thefts are everywhere. a huge problem in san francisco. cops make arrests in fewer than 2% of them. police stationed in the tender lion claim it's impossible to get convictions against drug dealers they don't try to enforce the law. the police now allow criminals to operate even when cops know who they're and what they're up to. one consequence of not

enforcing those laws rampant drug abuse well beyond the tender lion. we videotaped this man shooting up heroin right in front of city hall in broad daylight. here's a picture two of people shooting up at mission delores park. row house next to these junkies currently sells for $6 million. city officials are well aware of the problem san francisco residents have reported feces and syringe complaints on nearly every block of the city. former mayor mark farrell told local media even he had stepped on a use the needle at the civic center plaza right near downtown but nothing is changing. despite the reports and the money that san francisco spends on cleaning its streets, we found syringes and human feces all over the city. san francisco isn't the only city that has lost control. not in the country and certainly not in california. tomorrow we will take you to other parts of that state and what you see will shock you. it shocked us. our homeless in america

november 2016 where three black oberlin, ohio college students went in to gibson's bakery, tried to use a fake i.d. and stole some bottles of wine. the son-in-law of the bakery's owner confronted the students and police say by the time they arrived gibson was on the ground being punched. the students initially claimed they were racially profiled but then admitted they did use fake ids, did steal the wine and there was no racism. a follow-up police investigation also found that accusations of racism were baseless. but lawyers for the bakery say that did not stop oberlin college from, quote: declaring war on gibson. including a boycott and several protests involving hundreds of students chanting no justice, no peace. watch. >> we are here today because yesterday three students from the community were assaulted and arrested as a result of a history of racial profiling and racial discrimination by gibson's. >> in court the bakery also

alleges that oberlin vice president and dean of students meredith raymondo used a bull horn to orchestrate the protest and passed out fliers saying bib son's was racist. attorneys for the college say raymondo was monitoring the students and serving as liaison between them and the community. gibson alleges the college and dean of students interfered with the bakery business relationships that go back 130 years. the college says it temporarily suspended its business with gibson's to just quell a volatile situation. tucker? >> tucker: amazing story. trace, thanks very much for that. so jacobson is a professor at cornell law school he publishes the legal publication. thanks for coming on. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: i just want to be absolutely clear on the facts here. the three students accused of committing this crime pled guilty. they admitted they did it. they admitted that there was no racism against them. and, yet, oberlin college

tried to crush this business because, why? >> well, i think this was the worst of identity politics. that this was the day after donald trump's election. and may have had something to do with it. the student body was upset. three black students get arrested for shoplifting. they were, in fact, shoplifting. yet, the entire oberlin college community viewed this exclusively through a racial prism. through a racial lens, a white store owner arrest or has the police arrest three black students. and that really set the tone for the last two years. there were protests organized outside the bakery that were so aggressive and so many people, hundreds of people that there has been testimony at the trial that the police considered calling in the riot squad to quell the protests. and as you -- as was reported, there were also

indications that college officials if not participated in these at least fostered them. so what you had was the worst of identity politics reallied worst of other politics which judges everything not based on the facts of what happened, but through a racial lens. >> tucker: basically have the most privileged people in america. if you are going to oberlin noe such a waste of money you had money to burn. attacking workers and calling it justice? that's what i see. >> one of thing this things about this case is that the bakery owners are seeking to hold the college responsible and the college's response is those are just the students. we have no no input on what they do. the evidence is that they might have. if you wind people up and you whip them into a frenzy, and you can't just wash your hands of it. that's really what's jury is going to have to decide. >> tucker: i hope you will

come back with us, sir. there is really no case where i'm rooting for a side more than i am in this one. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> tucker: well, bill de blasio is pushing his own green new deal as he prepares to run for president. does anyone like bill de blasio? single person think he is doing a good job as mayor? why is he running for president? we will have the latest on that.

buildings that don't meet standards that legislation set. president trump could end up facing $2.1 million in fines if he doesn't meet these standards by 2030. what happened is there were protesters. it really turned into an embarrassing circus for de blasio you had protesters riding up and down with signs saying worst mayor ever. blasting music. heckling him and when pressed he couldn't name other landlords that had, you know, these sort of high emissions outside of president trump. so what he came to do was to draw attention to his environmental record and what ended up happening is he ended up embarrassing himself. >> tucker: he is always hamstrung by low iq. recurring problem for him. lisa booth; thank you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: tom cotton served tours in iraq and afghanistan. between those tours he had a very different responsibility. served as funeral escort for soldiers being buried arlington national cemetery. he wrote a book on it coming out tomorrow.

sacred duty. senator tom cotton joins us. thank you very much for coming on. i didn't realize until i read this that you conducted hundreds of funerals at arlington. >> i did, tucker. the old guard, the official ceremonial unit at arlington conducts 20 to 30 funeral as day. sometimes over 100 in a week. i personally in my 16 months there probably conducted 4 or 500 funerals. a lot of those funerals are for the heroes of the last generations of world war ii and korea in my day and increasingly vietnam today. unfortunately we had to perform active duty funerals on occasion. now as many as we did in 2007 and 2008. but despite that volume of funerals the old guard approaches funerals with a no fail zero defect mind set. the standard is always perfection to give that one last indelible image of honor for the family and for the you loved ones and to show everyone else who sees them the kind of honor that we pay to those who give the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. >> tucker: what a way to

experience our country. what did you learn from all those? >> you know, i learned about just how much love in their hears thhearts the american peoe have for our warriors, whatever they think about the wars they have felt and we have felt controversial wars over the last 50 years. arlington is a place that brings the entire country together there are no democrats or republicans there. no liberals or conservatives. we bury people of all races of all ages from all the various wars that our nation has fought over the last 60 or seventh years. really arlington has played that role in our nation's history since it was berthed in the most divisive time in our history. it was birthed in the civil war 155 years ago today today as a matter of fact. private william chrisman was born may 13th, 1864 on the old lee plantation that was the ohr gins of national cemetery. over time. other soldiers were exhumed and buried there the time of arrival for a generation of new soldiers when their war

became time to be buried there where it was the spanish personal war. world war i or world war ii. edition the tomb of the unknown soldier. mystery unknown one time stood for soldiers left overseas. today they have become the place of national mourning. the place that more than 4 million americans go every single year to pay tribute to our fallen heroes. >> tucker: as you my to our national reagan airport you fly right over the cemetery. >> sure when we perform funerals in the cemetery we always had to raise our voice because the airplanes were flying over the cemetery. >> tucker: did that weigh on you. >> in the moment your job is not to grieve. your job is to honor. to say honor while the family has a chance to grieve. certainly afterwards, certainly after an active duty funeral with a widower and small children and parents kind of thing you don't forget very easily. it makes a mark on you and makes a mark on how you view the sacrifice that our fallen heroes paid to our nation so we can live in

freedom. the old guard doesn't just perform in arlington either. it also goes to dover air force twice perform the dignified transfer of remains. i probably did that mission 25 or 30 times in my 16 months at the old guard. carrying the flag draped remains of my fellow combat in arms who died a few hours earlier overseas that's an image you cannot forget. >> tucker: i don't know how i missed that. that must inform how you see everything about your current job. >> what i saw in iraq and afghanistan informs it. but what i saw at dover air force base and arlington with the old guard also informs it. a reminder the consequence a failure in policy making that we do have that sacred duty to honor those who have fallen but also to provide for those who come after them. who are going to be fighting tomorrow's wars to make sure we care for them. i describe all that in sacred duty and mindset the old guard has to achieve that standard affection. ethos of excellence that can apply in everyone's life no matter what they do. for their military, especially for the soldiers who honor our fallen heroes at arlington it is

absolutely essential. >> tucker: amen. tom cotton, thanks for that. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: we will be back tomorrow the show that's the sworn enemy of tuck smu >> sean: breaking news as we begin tonight. this is a fox news alert breaking mom amounts oh, mybreay general barr just appointed the u.s. attorney in connecticut to investigate the witch-hunt into the trump campaign, this is huge news, a colossal step forward for equal justice, equal application under our laws, a big part of what's coming. if you're counting, this is now the third investigation into the deep state taking place in barr's doj.
