>> martha: before we go tonight, i did refer to julian castro as joachim a few moments ago. i apologize for that pair that is the story from tempe, arizona. the story continues from >> good evening. there was a time not too long ago when if you wanted to commit or you would set up a shortwave radio transmitter in your basement and call-in troop movements. that's how people used to betray their country. the standards are lower now. according to democrats donald trump committed treason merely by answering a hypothetical question. here's how it happened. george stephanopoulos asked the president what he might do if a foreign government offered his campaign damaging information

about one of his opponents. here is how the president responded. >> your campaign this time around, foreigners, if russia or china offers you information. should they call the fbi? >> i think if you do both. you might want to listen. if somebody called from a country, norway, we have information on your opponent, oh, i think i want to hear it. >> you want that kind of interference in our election >> here is the scenario. norway calls and tells you something embarrassing about beto o'rourke. maybe he wears a wig or maybe those bobby kennedy teeth of him our dentures. who knows. but you're happy to hear it no matter what it is because why wouldn't you be. plus it's kind of amusing. big mistake. guess what. you just committed treason.

a death penalty offense. accepting assistance from a hostile foreign power like russia. it's treasonous behavior. what donald trump said is un-american, unpatriotic and unbelievable. go to mars, go to the moon. he ought to go to the moon. ralph grandon ought to send >> the answer underscores the importance. >> everybody should be appalled by what the president said last night. >> you know you've reached a moment of maximum ridiculousness when the people who reflectively side with the government of guatemala over our own citizens to decide to tell you what's unpatriotic.

hilarious. if you think that reaction is hysterical, wait till you see how the talking head community response. peter pandemonium. >> he set straight or to the pillars of our democracy. >> i have run out of adjectives to react, described the reaction to this. >> of any other president had said anything resembling this. republicans in congress would've understandably called him a traitor. >> it's unthinkable what he sai said. >> this is the definition of collusion. >> i think it is treasonous, compromising, dangerous. i think it's wrong. it's illegal. >> tucker: dangerous, wrong, illegal. in a word, treason. that's what it is when you take damaging information about a political opponent from foreigners.

okay, just so we're clear on the terms. wait a second. are we sure were comparable with this new definition. it seems like you might have some unintended consequences. some of the very people making red-faced accusations of treason appear by their own standard to have committed treason themselves. consider the trump dossier. everybody in washington read the trump dossier. john mccain's staff made certain of that. our intelligence services used it to justify extensive spying. here's the thing about the dossier. it wasn't american. our agencies, the cia, fbi, they did not compile the dossier. the dossier came from a man called christopher steele, longtime employee of british intelligence. in other words, a foreign operative. information that formed the basis of the dossier didn't come from this country. it came from foreigners, russians. everybody knew this at the time.

christopher steele said so at the time. here is a tweet from hillary clinton's press secretary. "i regret i didn't know about christopher steele's hiring by the hillary campaign. election. if i'd known, i would've volunteered to go to europe and try to help him." he went on to say that the hillary campaign was proud to get opposition research from foreigners. "i probably would have volunteered to go to europe myself to trying to verify, if it would have helped get more this out there before the election. when he says this, he's referring to salacious dirt from russians. so by those standards, it's anti-american. it's treason. yet brian fallon is not behind bars tonight. he's never been charged with treason or anything else. nobody on hillary clinton's campaign has. they are still walking. despite being, and we are quoting msnbc, "traitors to the pillar of our democracy,"

whatever the hell that means. maybe they have moved onto lobbying foreign governments. it's a well-worn path for operatives. it's so common in washington that nobody notices anymore, which tells you a lot. jay jacobs as chairman of the new york state democratic party and joins us tonight. mr. jacobs, thanks for coming on. explain the outrage, if you would. taking information from the russians or from foreign governments in general is treason and yet almost everything we've talked about for the past two and a half years is based on a document that came from the russians. by the admission of the person who put it together, christopher steele. i'm confused. >> that's not exactly the way the whole picture comes together. there are two very different scenarios. >> tucker: what am i missing? >> if you might, the president

is saying he would do what he's accused of doing the last election. he would have no problem if he was approached by the russians, and i would have to remind you it's a hostile adversary, with information on an opponent. he wouldn't go to the fbi necessarily. he would listen to it and he might use it. here in the steele matter. >> tucker: i'm sorry to stop you. that's actually not what he said. we just played the tape. we complain again if you'd like. let me paraphrase. the example used was norway, not russia. it's not a hostile foreign powe power. he said would you go to the fbi? stephanopoulos said would you go to the fbi would you read it. trump said well, both. he said he would take in the -- maybe both. >> who does that? who would go -- that's not how it works. we wouldn't do that. >> tucker: i can read you

the -- >> has fbi director. he said no, he's wrong. >> tucker: we just played the sound bite. do you want me to play it again for you? >> you don't need to. >> tucker: i'm not here to defend trump's interview with stephanopoulos. why would you give an interview to stephanopoulos in the first place? it's a good question. i'm here to ask why it's okay that the democratic party and the hillary clinton for president campaign used information from the russians as opposition research in the campaign. i thought they were a hostile foreign. that's treason. >> if i might, there's a difference between the steele dossier and houde came about and what happened here in this circumstance or in this type -- this hypothetical. the difference is that this was an opposition research project that frankly was started by a conservative media outlet to begin with. it was handed over to the

democrats. un-american outlook, fusion gps, started by "wall street journal" reporter for the name of simpso simpson. he had this effort on to look at republican candidates. christopher steele was engaged by them. he is not and was not at the time employed by the british government, by the way, it mi6. >> tucker: he was a career british intelligence officer. >> retired. >> tucker: that's the point. he has said the information. hold on. there's too much b.s. and we are almost out of time. steele said the information in the dossier, what we already know, came from russia. the hillary clinton campaign in the dnc used information from russians, russian intel sources, the russian government, to attack trump.

>> the difference is a hostile power approaches the candidate. approaching the candidate's campaign to give information, that's wrong. they should go to the fbi. >> tucker: it's okay to approach hostile foreign power? >> it's not about finding out the information. it is who approached who. you had a hostile adversary approach it campaign and you have a president saying he doesn't have to go to the fbi, that's wrong. >> tucker: he didn't actually say that. bottom line. last question, it's okay to solicit that information from a hostile foreign power. the hillary campaign used to cut out to get information for the russian government and that's okay with you? >> the hillary campaign went to an opposition research firm. they happened to engage steele, who is a former british intelligence officer. a whole different scenario here. between russian intelligence officers coming in and -- >> tucker: i don't think --

it's okay when you contact them, not when they contact you. i get it. just for future reference. if i'm up on death penalty charges, i want to know what the rules are. thank you very much. aaron mate has been covering this story from day one. aaron, you are better versed in this than i am. it does seem, and this is not, even with reference to the president's conversation with george stephanopoulos but am i missing something? the information at the core of the dossier came from russian sources, did it not. >> the understanding of the clinton campaign which paved the dos -- paid for the dossier and paid for the entire sum of the y russian dirt. that was all under the dnc's watch. the understanding of the clinton campaign at the time was of this was coming from high-level russian sources. if i had to bet, i think it's false. i think steele and whoever the sources were remaking the cell.

the understanding of the clinton campaign -- >> tucker: can i stop you right there? i think you may be right about that. i thought that from day one. we don't know that. your point is the clinton people believed it was coming from russian sources. >> certainly, steele himself that his sources were high-level russian officials. that intelligence, or quote-unquote intelligence from him, was being used as part of the clinton campaign messaging, calling trump a russian agent. it helped inform the fbi's investigation. it was even used it a fisa warrant. if we are concerned about foreign dirt, certainly i think it's fair to highlight the foreign dirt the clinton campaign was paying for. from christopher steele. it's also very thing to highlight the hypocrisy of the clinton camp and democrats when they themselves met with ukrainian officials in the early campaign in 2016, the spring of

2016. they used dirt obtained from ukraine to basically help oust paul manafort. ukrainian officials shared dirt on paul manafort which ultimately led to his resignation. nobody is calling on democrats to call the fbi to report on their own dealings with ukrainian officials. >> tucker: very good point. and lost in much of this conversation. aaron mate, thank you very much for that. much needed. united states says iran is to blame for an incident in the persian gulf. are we moving for conflict with iran and the persian gulf? after the break, we'll let you know. we're the slowskys.

♪ >> tucker: tensions on the rise in the persian gulf once again. the united states says iran is behind attacks on oil tankers in the gulf and the lawmakers say the trump administration already has the legal authority to begin a war with iran. trace gallagher has been on this all day and joins us tonight. >> just before dawn, our norwegian oil tanker bound for taiwan radioed for help, saying it had been attacked. minutes later, japanese tanker filled with oil bound for singapore also radioed for help. at the time, both ships were in the gulf of oman, 25 miles off the southern coast of iran. the u.s. navy responded to both emergency calls and evacuated a total of 44 crew members. there were no facilities. cw out u.s. officials say they have a picture of an unexploded mines near the site of one

of the tankers. u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo says based on intelligence, the type of weapons used, and expertise needed to you used to execute e operation, iran is responsible. >> these unprovoked attacks present at clear threat to international peace and security, and assault on the freedom of navigation, and an unacceptable campaign of escalating tension by iran. >> u.s. officials suggest one of the attacks was -- was used similar to the one used off the united arab emirates. iran released a statement categorically deny any involvement and now says it will help secure maritime passageway. the u.s. is also considering military escorts through the very important and very much used strait of hormuz corridor. it's also notable that at the time, the japanese tanker was attacked, japanese prime

ministers shinzo abe within tamron meeting with ayatollah khamenei. >> tucker: interesting. a lot going on. mark hanna is a research fellow at the racial group foundation and joins us. thank you for coming on. this is confusing and it's hard to know exactly what's going on in the persian gulf and who would be responsible for these attacks. the broad outlines are clear. there are people in washington, quite a large faction in our foreign policy establishment that would very much like to see a conflict between the united states and iran. you all have done a lot of polling on what the public wants and thinks about this. tell us what you have found. >> sure, at the racial group foundation, we conducted a poll. public opinion in u.s. foreign policy and we asked about iran, if you remember back last may when president trump withdrew from the jcpoa, the iran nuclear deal, we asked the medical public if they were to get back

on track with the nuclear weapons program, what kind of response would be warranted. you're not going to be surprised to hear 80% or something diplomatic remedies, diplomatic solution. you might be surprised majority of both republicans and democrats, of the remaining 20%, thought iran had the right to have nuclear weapons to defend itself. moore said that then we should launch some sort of preventive war or preventive attack or strike on iran. the iraqi public wants no piece of war. i think what we are seeing here is the secretary of state, mike pompeo, and john bolton, frankly, the national security advisor. serving their own agenda, not necessarily the president's agenda. the presidents instincts here are correct. he has been restrained and if he wants to negotiate a better deal for iran, so you know, i think -- i don't think he wants to go to war. you know so catastrophic that

would be for american lives, american treasure, for american prosperity. it's not worth two oil tankers, japanese and norwegian oil tanker, art worth getting quagmires in another war in the middle east. >> tucker: this is one of those topics, foreign policy more broadly in war and the middle east specifically the proceeds with no reference at all to what the public wants. that's not how a democracy is supposed to operate, is it? >> not at all. elected representatives and people will conduct foreign policy on behalf of the american people come on behalf of their constituents, should respect and engage with the popular will. should engage with what people want and what we have found is on a number of issues, the american people want a more restrained u.s. foreign policy and are not getting that from a kind of neoconservative hawks that want to flex the the amern military muscles. the foreign policy establishment

inside the beltway is largely out of touch with the american people. this is what we found in our report that you can read out our website. it's a problem that needs to be addressed. >> tucker: they seem to be have having no interest along with the public wants. the poll that i read that you did 8% wanted a preemptive attack on iran. >> 8% want a preventive attack and 12% of people who think we shouldn't intervene at all. we shouldn't do economic sanctions because iran has the right to have nuclear weapons as a deterrent. this president, you said this time last year on your show, that a war with iran would destroy the trump presidency. i agree wholeheartedly with you. i think it would be a disaster for him. >> tucker: yeah, he's not being well served, particularly i would say by john bolton. thank you for coming out tonigh tonight.

congresswoman ilhan omar has been hit with hip another scandal -- with yet another scandal, marriage fraud. details from minnesota after the break.

>> tucker: tragedies in the dominican republic. this time mother nature is the culprit, not violence or illness, as we have seen so frequently in the last few months. in this case, a yoga instructor was swimming off the coast when she was sucked 2 miles out to sea by a rip current and tragically ground. she leaves behind three sons. she was the eighth american to die in that dr in a few months. we will continue to monitor was happening and bring it to you as warranted. it's been a scandal plagued for six months for minnesota

congresswoman ilhan omar and now even our hometown newspaper is getting fed up. according to the "star tribune," "every month seems to bring a fresh problem. first there were improper speaking fees and then remarks that were interpreted by many as anti-semitic. now omar is paying thousands of dollars in fines for improperly filing joint tax returns with a man she wasn't married to welding -- while being married to a different man." scott johnson is a minnesota attorney is unfolding her career since it first began. >> i appreciate your interest in the story. >> tucker: it's hard to turn away. it's a car wreck, i would say. your hometown newspaper is liberal, presumably supported ilhan omar previously. what did it take for the paper to criticize her today? >> the editorial page has actually been critical of her.

they didn't endorse her when she ran for congress and won in november of 2018. but they have treated her like a superstar on the news page all along. in fact, the "star tribune," the keystone of the liberal establishment in the state and part of the problem here, but the problem this time around, you know ilhan omar has a problem when she's not talking. what isn't she talking about now? we learned exactly a week ago that in 2014 and 2015, she filed joint tax returns with a guy who was not her husband while in fact she was married to another man. that is just blatantly illegal. the "star tribune" has run one new story on that fact. omar has given a statement written for her by somebody else, and refused to talk. that's how you can know she has a big problem going. the obvious follow-up question

is, over what period of years did you file joint tax returns with this guy who wasn't your husband? while eight years she was married to this guy whom she filed the tax returns to a legally within 2014 and 2015. this story shouldn't be over. you say it's hard to turn your eyes away. a lot of people are turning their eyes away. this story really needs some exposure. i appreciate your taking a look at it. >> tucker: what do you think the explanation is? >> for which part of it? >> tucker: why did she do this and for how long, if you had to -- >> my guess is her relationship with this guy, this guys the father father of her three children. she's had a relationship where she says she entered into a cultural marriage with him. followed by a so-called cultural divorce, before she married this guy in the year 2009.

>> tucker: i'm sorry to interrupt you. what's a cultural marriage and a cultural divorce? i have never heard of that. >> we have always wondered about that and that's another story that nobody has really looked into. no imam has stepped forward to talk about any involvement in islamic -- she's talking about an islamic marriage and islamic divorce. i just posted the marriage certificate for her 2009 marriage to another somali muslim. that one is signed off on by a christian minister. there is no cultural aspect to it. so there are so many questions. they purveyed her career since she became a public figure in august of 2016. we have gotten very few answers in the meantime. >> tucker: but all of it is redolent of sleaziness, i guess not surprisingly. thank you so much and i hope you'll join us again when we

things you and i could've done two years ago might not categorize as hate today but they can move the definition whenever they feel. one thing that is very interesting, you know the political bias here, they are tracking literal violence but only against protected groups of people, they are not tracking violence if it is not against a nonprotected person. for example, illegal aliens, facebook is a tracking violence against them but they are not tracking them against nonprotected people. i'm guessing when you were attacked, your home, and her family was attacked , that might not be an example of hate according to facebook but if non-american is attackedn it is hate. >> tucker: [laughs] right. that was a totally legitimate protest in the eyes of facebook. very good point. you all came to possession of this information. >> yes. >> tucker: we interviewed a former pinterest employee yesterday who leaked documents showing their efforts to censor pro-life groups. he made the point that there

are, within some of these tech organizations, tech companies, people who dissent and are willing to blow the whistle on what they are doing in secret. are you all beneficiaries customer other people in facebook who are helping you? >> absolutely they are in facebook, google, every major organization and they are being silenced by this totalitarianism of globalism that pervade silicon valley. mark zuckerberg admitted that it is a single party town and these people are so powerful. part of the danger is they will not come clean. no one has had to peek under the hood. this is the closest we have gotten. "the daily caller" had a good scoop on google. literally having blacklists that are referred to as blacklists. this is real, it's happening, and after they're done with us in public life, they will come to you in private life, for sure. >> tucker: i would just of course, as we've encouraged before, but anyone watching who works at any of these companies who wants to get the truth, they are always welcome on this show. we will see what happens on

breitbart, of course, in a moment. all of this, i just want to remind our viewers, all of this is only possible, this censorship is possible because the congress of the united states has given these companies a special exemption that you don't enjoy it and they don't enjoy but they do. hopefully that will be revoked soon. great to see you tonight, thanks a lot for that scoop. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: this show is on the air five nights a week, we take the weekends off because everyone needs a day of rest but for two days this fall we are making an exception for a live event. the first will be october 5th in baltimore, the second, a week later, october 12th and reading, pennsylvania. tickets go on sale tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. you can get your tickets now on our website, tuckercarlson capsoff.com. it ought to be a very fun time, hope to see you there. we are out of time tonight, sadly. we will be back tomorrow night, 8:00 p.m., the show that is the sworn enemy of line come, pomposity, smugness, and especially groupthink.

the hive mind is everywhere. don't join it. have a great evening, we will see you next and it will be friday. in the meantime, the great sean hannity awaiting from new york city. >> sean: you took a guy away from his family, they just had a baby. i can't believe it. that is the outrage of the week. >> tucker: congratulations. we lured him here with love. >> sean: i am like unrelenting. i don't let stuff go, i really don't. it's terrible. great show. welcome to "hannity." a while back, as we predicted tonight, the psychotic anti-trump rage from the democrats and media mob once again boiling over. i told you last night, at this time tonight that i would have all the examples of the fake, the phony selective, false moral outrage surrounding a completely reasonable statement from president trump about campaign research, foreign government. coming up, we are going to show
