our midnight heroes. stick around for live coverage of the president in japan. most-watched, most trusted, most grateful you spend the evening with us. good night from washington, i am shannon bream. ♪ >> tucker: well, good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." this is our last day in kyoto, japan. we are heading in an interview with the president after the show and we'll bring it to you monday. we've been following closely what's happening at the homeland in the u.s. last night had a primary debate and what passes for the heavy hitters on the left in attendance. joe biden, pete buttigieg, kamala harris and bernie sanders. on immigration, at least, they seemed in total agreement. b [chanting]

>> tucker: sorry for the tape mixup. that was the youth wing antifa making pretty much the same point. watch pete buttigieg. this is the right tape. buttigieg is a mayor and a presidential candidate but a self-described moral leader mahatma gandhi or jackson brown. watch him say it's morally wrong to maintain international borders. j >> that criminalization is the basis for family separation.n. you do away with that, it's no longer possible. of course, it wouldn't be possible anyway in mysi presidency because it is dead wrong. >> tucker: got that? sneaking in someone else's country can never be a crime. it doesn't matter if you're a chinese spy, an ms-13 gang member, a drug mule with 20 kilos of heroin on your back or a human trafficker with stable of child prostitutes. you are welcome here. we won't judge you. in fact, we'll gladly pay for your comprehensive medical care no matter what it takes.

that's how much we hate ourselves. watch. >> raise your hand if yourtc government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants? [applause] >> tucker: got that, mr. andgr mrs. american? you may be going broke trying to pay for your own family's healthcare, and many of you are, by the way. n but now you get to pay for free healthcare for the rest of the whole world. anyone who ignores our laws and sneaks in, you owe them benefits the second they get here. got that, racist? if you don't like it, tough. the democratic party plans to disarm you so you are powerless. watch congressman swalwell promise this. >> i'm the candidate asking for a ban and a buy-back program

of assault weapons in america. >> tucker: doesn't your constitution guarantee your right to keep and bear arms? yes, the document says that. but once that bernie sanders moves the conservative off the supreme court, the left can do whatever it wants. watch him explain. >> i do not believe in packing the court. we have a terrible 5-4 majority, conservative court right now. but i do believe constitutionally we can rotate judges to other courts, and that would bring in new blood to the supreme court. >> tucker: bernie sanders talking about new blood. it's all so great. keep in mind that is not court-packing.ep no, not even close. it's court-rotating. that means getting rid of judges that bernie sanders doesn't like and installing judges who agree with bernie sanders.s. that is totally different. the other candidates seemed on board with that.fe or they were too busy attacking joe biden to notice what the old guy on. there is a lot to hit biden

on. his sex, color of his skin. his sexual orientation. plus, as swalwell pointed out that joe biden is really, really old. o >> i was 6 years old when a presidential candidate came to the california democratic convention and said it's time to pass the torch to a new generation of americans. that candidate was then-senator joe biden. biden was right when he said it was time to pass the torch to the new generation of americans 32 years ago. he is still right today. if we solve the issue of automation, pass the torch. if we are going to solve the issue of climate chaos, pass the torch. >> tucker: got that, old man? joe biden is a musty antique who ought to be eating soft food in florida somewhere. you o know what else? he is a racist. a bitter, elderly bigot. he's probably watching "birth

of a nation" and kamala harris made that clear. she started out saying he is not a racist meaning he is definitely a racist. >> i will direct this to advice to president biden. i do not believe you are a racist.he but you also worked with them to oppose busing. there was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her public school. and she was bused to school t every day. that little girl was me. >> tucker: everything about that is fake. it's hard to imagine a more disingenuous paragraph. kamala harris implies california schools were segregated in the 1970s. they were not. some of us were there. harris was not a civil rights hero. her father was literally a stanford economics professor and she went to high school in montreal, canada. a child of privilege if there ever was one.re as for forced busing, it's amazing that any democrat

would defend it. busing didn't work. it was an abject failure. guess who hated it? black families. it didn't raise anybody's scores in the end. busing didn't work. honest people on the left admit that. brookings admitted that. the only people who liked busing then and now are rich liberals, the ones that are totally insulated from the effects of their failed and stupid social policy. everyone else in this country, 90% of americans according to gallup thought busing was awful. so good call, democrats. run on that. more busing! joe biden is a racist. here is our nominee, kamala harris. listen to her explain why she is a good person and you're morally flawed. that will definitely work. just like with hillary clinton last time. w morons. lisa booth is the senior fellow of the independent women's voice and she joins us

tonight. these people are unbelievable. >> do i get hazard pay for the past few nights watching the debate? senator harris says i don't think you are a racist but let me point out why i do think you are a racist. r an interesting strategy there. it was calculated. she had a tweet she put one a tweet of the little girl, saying that little girl was me. they are selling t-shirts now so this is a thought-out calculation by the campaign. i do think vice president biden is vulnerable. there is an air of inevitably with him. he has been ahead in the poll due to the name i.d. and perceived electability like hillary clinton. this air of inevitably with her and the democratic establishment. that is dangerous for democrats. because anyone who watched last night's debate cannot objectively say that vice president biden is a strong candidate. he did not have a good night.

he was not prepared for the attacks. he was not sharp. quite frankly, he even gave up in the middle of trying to respond to senator harris' attacks. >> tucker: he just gave up? >> he was talking and he said i think we're out of time. you don't do that. if you are vehemently defending your record you don't just say, you know what? whatever. we're running out of time. i'm tired. whatever. that is basically what happened. he had a tough time getting his words out. he didn't look sharp. i think the most potent line of attack was from eric swalwell. i hate to give him any credit. but his line of attack on the generational one. the biggest challenge for vice president biden we have seen big change election with the previous elections. americans have been asking for change.

vice president biden, being part of the previous administration he has will have to look back and explain his record, continue to look back. it will be difficult for him to look forward. that is his vulnerability for vice president biden on the debate stage; particularly, with some of the younger candidates who are making the case for the future. that is a vulnerability for vice president biden. i think in addition to just being a terrible candidate, personally. >> tucker: yeah. you get, you know, you run out of energy. at 50, i feel too old to run for president. >> i'm 34 and i couldn't run for president.t. t and i mess up words all the tim time. i'm also not running to be commander-in-chief so there is a higher standard. s >> tucker: great to see you. thank you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: dana perino joins us and we love to have her on and she joins us again for the second time in a row.ov this is where i talk about how smart i am. no, that's not true. i am rarely right in my predictions, but i did call joe biden. it was obvious to me that the

democratic party could never nominate elderly white man as the nominee. i mean, how could you do that? do you think biden is over after last night? >> i think that he has lost a little momentum. let me step back and tell you i think it's too early to say that. because there are nine debates and 31 weeks to go before the first votes are cast in iowa. we have a long way to go. the other thing i thought was interesting reading about polling, a live poll that was taken in iowa with undecided democrats. and they had a group of african-americans. a group of non-educated, and college educated, married, all these different groups. those people are not on twitter. they are just watching and telling you they are dialing it up or dialing it down and whether they like or don't like it. what is interesting to me when kamala harris tore in to joe biden, the numbers for kamala harris went way up. but then when biden responded his numbers went way up too, with african-americans.

it's too early to say, i think, what will ultimately happen to him. i do think that somebody like michelle goldberg at the "new york times," she very much wants a democrat to win. believe me, she does. but she always felt that biden won't be there for them at the end.s because he won't be able to have the new energy. i remember president bush talking about elections. and that especially the democrats, they like to look forward. they like new. and what biden did today when he tried to clean up his debate, he went right back to looking at obama. and biden -- and hanging on to that. not looking forward. so that probably will hurt him in the long run. >> tucker: but i would say -- i agree with everything you said. but kamala harris also looked back almost 50 years at school busing, forced busing which is remarkable to me considering there has never been any support among black families, nor among white families for forced busing. it didn't serve anybody. nobody liked it.

have you ever seen a poll that showed majority support for forced busing among african-americans? we'll take your kid and bringl them across town to go to kid with white kids and you should feel grateful for that. there is no poll that shows that, is there? >> no, there is not. i don't really talk about this too much, though i did write about it in my book. denver, colorado, is one of the first cities in the country to try to integrate the schools through busing. that is where i lived. from kindergarten to third grade, i walked three blocks to school. but when i went to the fourth grade, i had to be bused. i took an hour to get to the school. i was one of only five white children there. nobody was prepared to handle the dynamics. all that happened. it was a tough two years. the way it has handled didn't serve me well. the way it was handled, didn't serve me well.

>> shannon: go >> president trump is meeting one-on-one with the turkish president, it comes after the two nations are in disagreement over two big issues. let's listen in on their bilateral meetings. >> thank you very much, it is my honor to be with someone i have become very close to in many respects, he is doing a very good job, president of turkey, and we have a meeting largely to do with trade, we are doing more and more business and we expect it to be quite doable, we expect to have great product and we are opening it up, we also do military trading, they buy a lot of our military equipment. it is an honor to be with you, mr. president .

[reporter question] >> look at these people, how nice they are. they are so easy to deal with, look at them. there is no hollywood said you could put these people in. please. [speaking foreign language]

>> mr. president, first i would like to express that it is very meaningful for us to come together at the osaka summit. [speaking foreign language] >> and we are currently going towards fulfilling the goal of a $75 billion trade. [speaking foreign language] >> there are many things to be done in the defense area, but more importantly we have a strategic partnership. [speaking foreign language] >> and this strategic partnership also encourages us to create a solidarity across many areas. [speaking foreign language]

>> and i believe that our solidarity will continue throughout this strategic partnership. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. [reporter questions] >> we are discussing it, it is a complicated situation because the president was not allowed to buy the patriot missile's, so when he bought the other ones comedy s at 200 s or 400s, he wanted to do this, but he wasn't allowed by the obama administration to buy them until after he made a deal to buy the other missiles. now all of a sudden they say you can buy these, so you can't do business that way, it's not goo good. [reporter questions] >> we are looking at different

solutions. it's a problem, no doubt about it. but he was prohibited from buying until he said he bought something else, then they said okay, you can buy. you can't do business that way. turkey has been a friend of ours and we are doing great things together. the $75 billion, i think it's small. i think it will be well over $100 billion. you can't treat people that way. like the obama administration did. [reporter question] >> we are going to have a news conference back at the hotel, we had a very good meeting with president xi of china. i would say it is excellent, as excellent as it could be. we are back on track and we will see what happens, but we had a really good meeting. i think president xi will be putting out a statement, may be putting out a statement shortly,

and we will too. we will save hours for about 3:30 or so at the hotel. we are going to go to the closing ceremony and then we will go over to the hotel and do a news conference. [reporter questions] >> we are looking at it, but it's a double, it's a two-way street. they wouldn't sell the president -- they wouldn't let him by the missile that he wanted to buy, which is the patriot. then after that somebody else, they say, no, we will send you the patriot. i have to tell you, a nato member, somebody that i've become friendly with, and you have to treat people fairly. you understand that? you have to treat people fairly. i don't think he was treated fairly. i don't think he was treated fairly. so, we'll see you at the hotel at 3:30 where we will talk about china. but we had a very, very good meeting with china. i would say probably even

better-than-expected, and the negotiations are continuing. thank you. [reporter questions] >> thank you very much. [reporter questions] >> sell >> reporter: will you go to turkey? >> i will be going to turkey at some point. [reporter questions] >> reporter: will you go in july? >> we haven't set a date. >> you are listening to trump there meeting with the president of turkey divulging a lot more than we all anticipated about the meeting they are going to have privately and just a couple of moments. i want to bring and now our fox news correspondent rich ads in, who's been standing

by watching this along with us. we've got to talk about those weapons purchase they were just talking about, it sounded like the president sort of defending this weapons purchase that has kind of been a source of tension. talk about what he just said. >> actually, it has been peer to the president just acknowledging there that he is making progress with china, that these trade negotiations that have been ongoing with the united states and china, massive trade fight, tariffs are supposed to increase about $300 billion in chinese goods in just a few weeks, so the president is saying he is making progress. we don't have any details, plenty of business groups would like to see the u.s. avoid that escalation when it comes to the trade fight. when you're talking about this missile program and turkey, this is a fight that has been ongoing for a couple of years now between the u.s. and turkey. turkey wanted to buy a missile defense system, there was a disagreement between the united states and turkey when it came to buying the patriot missile program.

an american missile program. turkey wanted to produce some of them and turkey. when the u.s. and turkey couldn't reach an agreement over that program, turkey turned to russia, purchasing the as/400. the president said earlier today that turkey is on track to purchase that program, they expect delivery by the next few weeks of that missile program, but the problem is that turkey is a nato country, and a russian missile defense system, according to defense officials within nato, say that is not compatible. the united states, members in congress and the pentagon have threatened a number of different things if turkey takes a delivery of this system. at the first would be that the u.s. could impose sanctions on turkey for purchasing this weapons system from russia. the second is that the united states has threatened to stop turkey's participation in the f-35 fighter program. turkey has purchased those plans from the united states and the

u.s. would then essentially say to turkey, we are not going to train your fighters, we are not going to help keep you up-to-date on this program. it's been a massive fight between the u.s. and turkey and that is supposed to be a topic of conversation between the two presidents, which is just starting now. >> we heard a reporter asked the president about the murder of journalist and jamal khashoggi. he didn't answer that question. do you suppose that is a question that the president of turkey will bring up? >> it is a big difference between the united states and turkey, at least in the ways that both governments have discussed at the killing of jamal khashoggi. remember, he is a saudi citizen and was killed in the saudi consulate in turkey. the turkish government has been very critical of the saudi government for this, accusing them, rightly so, of essentially committing murder within the borders of their country inside the saudi consulate.

the trump administration, while it has criticized the saudi government for the murder of jamal khashoggi, has stressed that it is waiting on the investigation for more details. it has revoked the visas of a couple of dozens of saudis into the u.s., says it's responsible for all of this but has fallen short of really criticizing the president, saying that they are still waiting for more information to come out of that investigation. there is certainly some difference here on the response towards saudi arabia between the united states and turkey when it comes to the killing of jamal khashoggi. >> yeah, we saw that earlier where the president was all smiles with the crown prince of saudi arabia, so that will be an interesting conversation. of course, this meeting is highly anticipated because it could go well and it could also go bad. of course, iran, especially

iranian oil. that is going to be a tough subject to negotiate. >> it was another point of contention between the two countries. turkey was purchasing iranian oil. once the united states decided to sanction oil purchases from iran, it gave turkey a few months along with a few other countries, a waiver. it let them continue to purchase iranian oil. a month and a half ago, that all stopped. the united states ended all waivers from countries that were purchasing iranian oil. turkey is one of them. turkey requested an additional waiver, they wanted to continue buying iranian oil, and the united states said no to turkey, china, japan, and other countries as well. the issue, of course, is that turkey not only has that oil relationship with iran but is also neighbors with iran. it has a much better relationship with the iranian government to certainly the united states does. so that is also a bit of a contentious point between the two countries, how they view

iran. the united states is trying to create this coalition and get countries around the world to contribute to its maximum pressure campaign, to try to isolate the iranian government, isolate its economy and try to bring iran's leaders to the negotiating table. it thus far, iran's leaders have said no way, we are not coming to the negotiating table when you're trying to basically threaten us to come to talks. >> it sounds like from what we just saw, the little sneak peak of their meeting, there was a question asked about a possible state visit to turkey. could that likely happen this year? >> it's a good question. in fact, president erdogan said earlier today according to a report that there is a visit in the works for the president to come to turkey sometime this month, but it is a pretty aggressive timeline because next month is just a couple of days from now, the president refused to say specifically when he would consider going to

turkey, whether that have been agreed to, what the timeline looks like. we haven't gotten any word from the white house thus far as to when there could be a visit to turkey or if the president makes it a single visit there or tries to visit other countries in the region, but it appears as though, given what the turkish president erdogan said this morning and the president's response to all of this, that they are very much considering and discussing a presidential visit to turkey. >> we have about 2 minutes left, if you could, right before this meeting, the president met with china's president, president xi, and he mentioned that meeting went really well. have you heard anything on the ground about that meeting just yet? speak of the most we've heard is from what the president just said there, he went into his meeting with xi jinping, left it, so these developments are happening pretty quickly here. you've got world leaders at this summit and our meeting and pretty rapid succession with one

another to try to get this business done. the president says he had a better-than-expected meeting with the chinese president. of course, the backdrop on all of this is that the u.s. and china are in the middle of this massive trade fight. the u.s. already has tariffs on $250 billion worth of chinese imports into the united states, and is on track to essentially sanction and put tariffs on the rest of china's imports into the united states. any type of truce or stalling that or a second move to negotiations is something that many of us have been looking for at this summit, deceive the united states and china would agree to at least a pause or a truce to this. early indication that these talks went better, given what the president just said they are. also before the president met with the chinese president, he sent a tweet that was directed at kim jong un. after this, the president is going to seoul, south korea. he says essentially, while i'm in the neighborhood, i would love to meet with kim jong un at

the demilitarized zone. it would be a historic moment, something for the cameras to see, the president of the united states going to the dmz and doing the same dance he did with the south korean president last year. the president floating that while he is in the neighborhood. unclear if that is in the works or if that is actually going to happen, but the president on twitter for the world to see inviting the dictator of north korea to come on down to the dmz and shake hands and check in while he is in the neighborhood. speak at the president always making headlines, making news. more headlines to come from this press conference, we will see you in a few hours and touch base with you then. thank you for all your insight. that is the latest from osaka, japan. still ahead tonight, president trump's live press conference, which we will have for you right here on fox news channel, but for right now, we are going to bring you the very latest on this g20 summit in all the happenings

there. we are going to go back to "tucker carslon tonight," already in progress. boy: this is the story of a boy

who was very sensitive to lights and sounds. so he built secret hiding places where nothing could get in. the boy didn't like looking people in the eye. it made him feel uncomfortable.

♪ >> tucker: welcome back to kyoto, every democratic candidate is competing to see who can reject america the most thoroughly. one of the easiest ways is refusing to speak america's language. both beto o'rourke and cory booker delivered debate answers in broken spanish on thursday. so the least competent mayorhu decided his campaign would get a boost by doing the same. bill de blasio. not his real name, by the way.

he visited striking airport workers in miami and delivered what he thought we rousing words in in spanish. here is what he said. [speaking spanish] >> tucker: viva la revolution! but those words were the motto of che guevara. like other clueless rich liberals, de blasio loves che. he had the t-shirt. he never had to face the consequences of what che did. but in florida, hundreds of thousands of floridians are refugees from che's cuba. that is where he helped castro impose the communist dictatorship. che himself executed more than a hundred people shooting them in the face with pistols running the prison. according to one account he personally shot a 14-year-old boy.a h this is de blasio's hero. a few floridians had family members murdered by che. so de blasio had to issue a hasty apology. do you think he learned anything?

[laughs] has he ever learned anything ever? of course not. viva la revolution! good work, bill. barely a decade ago then senator barack obama wasas talking about the importance of securing the border to protect the america's workers.nc now his own party has given up on him. thursday night they ripped each other in a battle be as left wing as possible. one of the party supporters was disheartened by that. >> last night was a disaster for the democratic party.ft my only hope is people were not watching. w >> tucker: so eventually no matter how wacky they get one of the democrats will win the nomination. but after that happens, will that person be able to beat the incumbent president? which is the whole point if you're a democrat. we are joined by the former party spokesman. louis, good to see you. >> good to see you, tucker. >> tucker: whatever you think of the democratic party, most americans think we need a vibrant two-party system. so you don't want to see, evenin the party you disagree

with, go completely crazy. how big is the constituency in america for open the bordering, decriminalizing illegal entry and offering healthcare for everyone who arrives. how many people support that, would you say? >> this is the problem with the debate format. the raise your hand if you do this or that doesn't allow for nuance or discussion about what you are talking about. this is a gotcha style of politics. so i'll call fake news on that and say we need a substantive discussion of how it exists. if you have a debate with ten people it doesn't lend yourself to discussion you need to haven't a that. >> tucker: i agree. i a not here to defend nbc news or the hack job they did on the debate. jnc but the question is pretty simple. would your healthcare plan would it include undocumented aliens, the people here illegally? every person raised their hand. that is a straightforwardd question. that is crazy. nobody supports that -- >> it's a change from the past four years. >> tucker: yeah.

>> steady change over the past four years but it's a recognition, i think it's a recognition -- and pete buttigieg tried to talk about this a little bit.it the fact there is a strain on the cost of healthcare already because people who don't have access, whether they are undocumented or not, are going to the emergency rooms instead of going to regular healthcare providers and that creates a major strain on the system. so you have to address the cost because you pay for it one way or another. the issue that needs to be dealt with how do you regularize the immigration system so you are not having a large flow of undocumented population. people who are coming have an opportunity to legalize? >> tucker: wait, just to be clear. you are arguing that it's cheaper, saying a matter of cost, it's cheaper to offer full government-backed healthcare which includes a whole massive range of elective options for healthcare. it's cheaper to provide that to noncitizens breaking the immigration law than it is to

treat them in emergency rooms? is that what you are saying? >> there is significant cost in emergency rooms. but i'm not running for president, tucker, so i'm not here to defend any of the candidates' specific plan. i'm not defending their plan. >> tucker: this is not a small thing. this is a big thing. >> it is not a small thing. they need to get elected in a different way. there has to be something more than raising your hand with the gotcha question. geth this is not what we should be tfocusing on. when joe scarborough talk about it's a disaster for the democratic party he talked about what he perceived of the infighting. he wasn't talking about the one question. but i think he is wrong there, too. by all accounts we are having primaries to select a democratic nominee. they need to find the differences and go at each other and elevate why they think they are a better candidate than the other. so you need a healthy debate. >> tucker: amen. >> if they are singing "kumbaya" on stage and only talking about trump that is not what people want to hear either. >> tucker: i totally agree. that is a true and smart point. the healthcare stuff will kill

you, though. luis, great to see you. >> you too, tucker. enjoy the trip. >> tucker: thank you. "toy story 4" is a big hit at the theaters but some are mad because it's not taking woke positions on toys. hard to believe that is real. but it is. we have details. we're still live from kyoto. that's why we are wielding chopsticks ahead on the one-on-one interview with the president. today we seized the opportunity to go inside one of the world famous seafoodo o kitchens. this is what we found. >> tucker: these are the biggest oysters i have ever seen. we sidled up to this man, an agent oyster expert. he does not speak english. i think this is maybe too big for me. that oyster tool looks hand made. the perfect japanese juxtaposition. the most high tech country in the world, yet they use handmade medieval tools to open their

oysters.

♪ >> tucker: welcome back to kyoto, japan. house intel committee chairman adam schiff seems to be the last famous democrat who is not running for president. even he is smarter than that. but he is still finding ways to travel and enjoy himself and have you pay for it. last night schiff and four of his democratic colleagues flewav to copenhagen, denmark, aboard a chartered taxpayer funded military jet. are they conducting secret negotiations, visiting thehe troops or doing anything worthy at all? no. he is going on a week-long vacation in scandinavia.

he is visiting a speech at a pro-democracy conference. presumably representing the anti-democracy side. then it's off to a cocktail reception, saturday happy hour and then trips to finland and norway, two of the least diverse countries in the world. it's weird, if you are adam schiff and mr. sensitive progressive guy, why aren't you in congo? what are you doing in norway? finland? that is appalling. and why are you making us pay for it? why don't you answer the question, mr. schiff? he never will. "toy story 4" on a happier note came out last weekend. the movie has made a ton of money and got good reviews but some are mad about it. why? despite the fact that the movie features a dinosaur, slinky dog and talking mr. potato head it's not diverse enough.ky that sounds pretty diverse. film critic stella duffy says the film needed more nonwhite toys. also more disabled toys. she also blasted the love story for being "heteronormative" whatever that is. jason is professor of african-american studies. he is joining us. i can't keep a straight face.

tell me what a -- >> [speaking japanese] i had to do that in the spirit of the debate. >> tucker: what isis a nonwhite boy >> of course there are nonwhite toys. i understand the woman's sentiments. i think she is trying to make a point about having black and brown kids see themselves reflected in the heroes and in the films they watch. even more importantly or possibly at least equally importantly, white kids need to see black kids, or black characters as heroes. that is one of the ways we will move forward as a society. t for a lot of white kids that will be the only black character or person that evers steps foot in their house. however, i think that this is misguided. i think that, you know, i'm an economic nationalist. i think if we want to see certain images in film we have to start making our own film. hollywood is made up of followers. they follow trends. they follow what people are doing outside of hollywood. then they coopt it. we have to start going the

marcus garvy route or the tyler perry route and making our own films with the images we want to see. >> tucker: toys to restate are not real so they don't have races in the first place. they are inanimate objects of cloth, or in this case of pixel. >> buzz lightyear, you don't think he has a race? >> tucker: no. he is post-racial, is fair to say. leaving aside the point why do we still have film critics and maybe she should get a real job, isn't it backwards, don't you succeed creating viable businesses or creating great works of art or creating something? the way to get people to succeed is not necessarily by having them see characters who look like them but by encouraging them to work hard and make good choices and learn a lot.

isn't that more effective? >> isn't that the point of "toy story"? doesn't it have all those good themes? isn't that why we have our kids watch certain movies and read certain books because it will encourage them to do the good things? if they see themselves reflected in that, they will have a positive self-image.ou also, those people who don't see those images every day will start to see everyone as a human being. so i actually understand where she is coming from. >> tucker: wait a second. look. i'm in japan right now where surveys of self-esteem show it very low.. and this is a country of very high achievement. there is no correlation of self-esteem and achievement. the more impressive you thinkre you are, the less impressive you likely are. >> again, i disagree with that. one person to hold up is trump. he sees himself really amazingl amazingly. he thinks he is handsome, he thinks he is smart. he has been relatively successful. >> tucker: he became president.ea

>> depending on your measure. i think that a positive self-image, you know, if you are hopeless -- >> tucker: you kind of got me on that one.>> all right. >> if you are nihilistic you are not going to succeed. >> tucker: because it's friday i will concede defeat on that one point about the president of the united states. it's great to see you, professor.r. >> we miss you here in the swamp. >> tucker: i'll be back. oh, it's friday. you know what time it is? it's time for dan bongino's news explosion. our favorite former secret service agent will be here with the top news of the week. and marianne williamson was the star last night. you couldn't turn away, could you? who is she? and what reality does she live in? we'll try to figure it out after the break. we are going to be sad to leave japan but they are aiv country of superb craftsman. we visited one of the best today. watch. >> tucker: hi, i want to get a

knife for my brother buckley. t i think i'm going to get that one. that is really sharp. that would take your fingers right off. can i get this engraved with my brother's initials? that is amazing! thank you.

>> tucker: it's already saturday here in japan, but nothing, literally nothing can stop the dan bongino news explosion. our favorite new york cop, he is here to rank the top stories of the week. dan bongino joins us tonight. hey, dan. >> this is hardcore dedication, you doing this from japan. that is how much i love you, buddy. [laughter] let me get to it. by the way, i saw your trip. it was great. the boat, trains, it was fantastic. i couldn't take my eyes off of it. >> tucker: it was fun. >> i did feel bad you got wet there. enough small talk. get touc i it.

story number three, aoc, and one of the more bizarre moves i've ever seen, is joining the protest against beds for migrant children. listen, tucker, regardless of your position on immigration, no one wants to see kids sleeping on the floor. so the government did what? they went out and tried to fix an obvious problem,ey right? went out and bought beds for children. not controversial. well, apparently not for aoc, who celebrated the wayfair protest by some of the employees, not the company in general, about selling beds to the government to put kids in beds. this is a head-scratcher. i really don't get it. even for liberals, it seems like a very bizarre new low. but you know, whatever. i'm done trying to explain liberals. >> tucker: totally bizarre. >> very bizarre.e. all right, story number two. >> tucker: that is probably smart. >> democrats are now all in on what i think you and me and many other people have known for a long time. big swath of the party, they are all in on open borders. listen, they have been trying to evaporate the border for a long time.

julian castro, listen, i don't agree with the guy, but at least he was honest for once. came out in democratic debate number one and basically said let's just decriminalize it. let's decriminalize the whole crossing the border illegal thing. who needs it? what's the point? for guys like you and me who do this for a living and have to deal with the democrats that change their principles after licking their fingers and checking the wind, at least you finally have a guy on stage saying here is what we are about. forget the border. just a suggestion. four-way stop signs that nobody stops for. just come on in.. so julian castro, in a rare moment of honesty from a liberal. terrible idea. but at least he was honest. all right. what do you think of that? do you like that? r give me some feedback. >> tucker: i love that one. but i'm horrified by it. >> i know you are horrified by it.y sometimes i pick these immigration stories. i know you're all over this stuff. all right, story number one. number one story of the week. democrats, this is amazing.

i really had a tough time with this. debate number one and debate number two, the question was asked: will you support a medicare for all plan that essentially cancels privatell insurance for millions of americans, tens of millions if not hundreds of millions of americans? some of them raised their hands! elizabeth warren, kamala harris, bernie sanders.re tucker, listen, i don't know who got in there their idea or what kind of focus group,re maybe it was like some kind of focus group that was in a state that legalized weed beforehand but the focus group that told them that this is some kind of an electoral winner to tell americans they will cancel their private health insurance, lay off the psychedelic mushrooms. it's not good for you. this was the worst focus group ever. don't do it. terrible idea. bad call by the democrats.or you're laughing. i like that. >> tucker: psychedelic focus group. i love it. dan bongino, have a great weekend. thank you for that. >> take care, pal. >> tucker: a lot of viewers t were baffled last night by the author and now presidential

candidate marianne williamson. she spent a lot of debate on a separate astral plane and promised to revitalize america not with new policies, but with her aura. watch. >> somebody has a younger body doesn't mean you have . ideas. john kennedy did not say, john kennedy did not say, "i have a plan to get a man to the moon and so were going to do it. i think we can all work together and maybe we get a man on the moon." i will tell her girlfriend, you are so wrong because the united states of america will be the best place in the world for a child to grow up. i'm going to harness law for political purposes. i will meet you on that field, answer, love will win. >> tucker: wow! that is kind of intense. who is this marianne williamson? we found a couple of her tweets we hope will put her in context. here are a few. "god is big.wefe swine flu small. see every cell of your body filled with divine light. pour god's love on our immune system. truth protects."

another, "imagine a pool of light filled with greatem love, creativity, and joy. now see yourself stepping in there. now stay there." i kind of like that. i got to be honest. i kind of like that. s here's another one. "see the surface. this is not politics. it's black magic. use your shield of virtue and your sword of truth." i'm not exactly sure what that means. she seems harmless, at least. i'd like to meet her. h that is it for us tonight. before we leave japan, we had a great week from here. it would not have been possible without the people we brought, really the best crew in all of b television. benjamin west, looking at behind the camera, are the best and bringing the show any place the world. our producers, kelly mcnally, carly cooper, and emily lynn. executive producer the diabolical genius justin wells. sincere thanks to all of them and the team back in new york and washington. they make this possible. you'll see the interview with the president on monday. until then, have the best weekend with the ones you love. we'll be back at 8:00 p.m.

the show that is the swornrn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. good night from kyoto, japan. sean hannity is next. ♪ ♪ >> dan: welcome to this special edition of "hannity." the 2020 election. i'm dan bongino in for sean. for the hour, we'll preview the race for the white house, and we start with the painfully long, two-night democratic debate.nd this week, americans got a glimpse that just how radical and out of touch the left have become. nowhere is this more apparent than immigration. the policy of open borders isn't enough. now the field of radical candidatesat are promising to decriminalize illegal immigration altogether. give all illegal immigrants unlimited, taxpayer-funded health care, and a much more. watch this. >> raise your hand if you think s
