most-watched, most trusted, most grateful you some of the evening with us. good night from washington, i'm shannon bream. ♪ >> wow >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." we've been watching with amazement ande some real alarm s leaders of the democratic party day after day attack the country they say they want to govern. it is remarkable and it is a very new development. just a few years ago even the most liberal democrats in congress felt obligated to say patriotic things about america. they may not have felt it but they said it and that matters. now it's routine to hear democratic presidential candidates question the basic legitimacy of the united states, likesupposed moderates joe biden join in. that should worry you.

no country can survive being ruledpl by people who hate it ad we deserve better.r for all of our country's flaws this is still the best place in the world, most immigrants know that and that's why they come here. it's also why we have always been glad to have them here. now there are signs that some people who move here from abroad don't like this country at all. as we told you last night, one of those people now serves in our congress. in fact the united states is the kindest most open-minded place on the planet, the u.s. has done more for other people and receive less in return than any nation in history by far. americans like to help, it makes us feel good. at some of our deepest satisfaction as a country comes from watching penniless immigrants arrive on our shores buy into our values and thrive, we called the american dream and nothing makes us prouder. it was in that spirit that in 1992 the united states welcomed 10-year-old ilhan omar and her family, she was born in somalia

one of the world's poorest countries which was then ruled by a marxist military dictatorship. when she was six they fled a civil war and wound up in a refugee camp in kenya, they spent four years there untilou america offered to the family asylum here and let them settle in minneapolis. omar's father drove a taxi and then got a job with the post office. omar grew up free with all the bounty that implies, she became a citizen then went to work for the state university. a few years later she became a member of congress elected by voters were proud to see an immigrant succeed. she is now one of the most powerful women in america. it's an amazing story. only in this country couldn't t have happened. ilhan omar has an awful lot to be grateful for. but she isn't grateful, not atat all. after everything america has done for omarve and her family, she hates this country more than ever. in a recent piece in

"washington post," the reporter put it this way "in omar's version america isn't the bighearted country that saved her from a brutal war and a bleak refugee camp, it wasn't a meritocracy that helped her attend college or vaulted her into i congress, instead it was the country that had failed to live up to its founding ideals.l a place that had disappointed her and so many immigrants, refugees, and minorities like her. if anything that is an understatement. she isn't disappointed in america, she's enraged by it. virtually every public statement she makes accuses america of bigotry and racism. this is an immoral country and she has undisguised contempt for united states and its people. we didn't do it to get rich, it cost us money, we did it because we are kind people. how did she respond to the remarkable gift we gave her?

she scolded us and called us names. she showered us with contempt. it's infuriating.h more than that, it's also ominous. the united states admits more immigrants in any country on earth, more than a million every year. the democratic party demands we increase that number and admit far more. okay, americans like immigrants. but immigrants have got to like us back. that's the key, it's essential. otherwise the country falls apart. we made that point last night and we'll continue to make that point because it's true, it's important to say it outpoit loud even if no one else is willing to. needless to say the left went berserk, they hate it when you say the true things. ilhan omar and her allies in congress immediately demanded this shall be pulled off the air, they didn't rebut what we said or even acknowledge them, they just try to silence us, that's how they operate.. of course they called us racist. on one level, that's amusing given how absurd the charge is. this show more than any other

show on television has taken an aggressive position on favor of color-blind equality and against racism. particularly casual racism of the modern left. we despise the current habit of judging people on the basis of their skin color, it's wrong. we say that virtually every night. racist? know. we are against racism, adamantl adamantly. omar consistently puts her own race at the center of the conversation but to us, it's irrelevant. by the standards of identity politics, she would seem to have everything in common. like omar she was born in somalia, moved to kenya and came to this country. unlike omar, she loves and cares about the united states, she believes our country is superior to the country she came from ann she says that. for saying that, the left despises her. omar's friend once tweeted she deserves to be mutilated for her

beliefs. two somali immigrants, one among the most impressivemo people in america, the other among the least. it's not about race. of course omar and her friends already know that, nothing they say on the subject of race is sincere, it's all a hustle designed to get them what they want. omar has made a career of denouncing anyone and anything in their way as racist, that would include all of her political and personal opponents, it includes inanimate objects like the proposed border wall, so as the united states congress and the entire state of north dakota. she may be from another country but she learned that crying racism pays. the bigger question is who taught her that? she didn't arrive from a kenyan refugee camp denouncing people for political gain, she wasn't always a professional victim -- that's a learned behavior. unfortunately she learned it here. the real villain in the ilhan omar story isn't omar herself, it's a group of fellow

americans, its cultural gatekeepers who stoke the resentment of new arrivals and turn them into grievance monitors. the left did thats to her, blae them first. he's also the president of the american islamic forum for democracy and author ofru the bk battle forl the soul of islam.mi thank you for coming on. to boil it right down, does the country have a right and an interest in bringing in immigrants who love the country? >> absolutely. my family escaped syria and america is a contract, it's an idea. people who come here believe in liberty and liberal democracy, we have a security interest in making sure people come here not only want to escape where they are coming from. but also reject hypocrisy,

oppressive ideology, theocracy, when the embrace american ideas we should have the right to vet them. party apparatchiks from any regime around the planet, we have an obligation to do that ando that's the venting my famy went through and it's the vetting we should hold not only members of congress but every american to who wants to come to this country. >> tucker: we should be worried when the modern left inculcates immigrants and anti-american worldview, shouldn't we? it's clear what happened to ilhan omar, she was grateful to get here, most people are especially from somalia but she's wound up as a hater of america, someone taught her that, should we be worried? >> absolutely, i have to tell you this hits home for me because i served in the u.s. navy. this country as a force for good, she tweeted and said two

years ago our forces in somalia back in 1993 which i served on the ship that was part of the operation restore hope -- and she said we were terrorists and were killing thousands of somali citizens. that is the islamist lobby, the red-green lobby, the left gets in bed with the islamist because they a want to tear down what america stands for globally. i take offense to the fact that they are gas lighting you into saying that you are racist -- otis is gas lighting, there's no reality behind it. they don't want to have a conversation with us muslims that we reject theo kratz, we have diversity of opinion that we are a bunch of ladies and he jobs or whatever superficial description they want to have with us and not deal with the ideas in our hearts. >> tucker: i'm sure you will be denounced as a racist by the end of a this segment.

thank you so much for coming on. congresswoman omar is quick to describe a criticism of her as racism, she's done that quite a bit. there are serious reasons to wonder about her judgment and her competence. the evidence suggests she is an extremist on virtually every topic and has been for quite some time. there was a time she was angry that people seem to treat al qaeda with more hostility than they treat the united states, watch. >> when i was in college i took a terrorism class. every time the professor said al qaeda, his shoulders went up up -- you don't say america with intensity, you don't say england with intensity, you don't say the army with an intensity. >> tucker: al qaeda, no big

deal. it shouldn't bean surprising, after all her summary of 9/11 was some people did something. >> it was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties. >> tucker: some people did something, she was called out for that as you remember, it happened not that long ago and she said that phrase was taken out of context and anyone who criticizes her is racist. as it turns out this is a pattern, this easy-going attitude toward terrorism against the united states. in 2016 she begged a federal judge to be lenient towards nine men accused of trying to join isis. omar said the real villain in the story is america because america caused systemic alienation in the terrorists anr drove them toward violence, it's

our fault, everything is. omar is also called to abolish i.c.e. and created defect to open borders in this country. >> we need to abolish i.c.e. and end all inhumane deportations. we need to fight back against the criminalization of romigrants and those crossing the border. >> tucker: keep in mind as you watch these clips, this is not just a member of congress, this is a hero, this is a folk hero among the left. this is someone lionized every day for example by cnn. in 2017, omar attacked u.s. troops, accuse them of murdering thousands of somalis during the 1993 battle of mogadishu -- in fact they were attacked while trying to protect her homeland from warlords and then there was a time when she launched an attack on a hostile religious

force trying to impose a theocracy on the american people -- -- what religion woud that be? christianity of course. >> religious fundamentalists are currently trying to manipulate state laws in order to impose their beliefs on an entire society. all with complete disregard for voices and rights of american women. >> tucker: this is someone clearly with a long history of the responsible and unsupportable statements. in some cases lunatic statement statements. it's not just what she says, it's what she does. her past is also full of legal and ethical lapses, nobody knows that better than the republican state rep senator from minnesota who has been following her career since the beginning and he joins us tonight.uc thanks so much for coming on tonight, how would you summarize congresswoman omar's ethical standards?

>> it's no surprise, for the people in minnesota -- we have seen representative omar in action before. she is unapologetic, she is unethical, she is ungrateful, she's corrupt, and she is mean. we have seen that here, what she does at each and every turn is called people racist, she calls republicans racist, she calls democrats racist, she even called the far left minneapolis "star tribune" editorial board racist -- the editorial board of the "star tribune" where her huge fawning photo is adorned on their wall. she called them racists were asking her questions about these issues. >> tucker: of course she did because it works, as long as we keep rewarding that kind of behavior she will persist indo doing it. she doesn't believe a word she says but this country keeps awarding people like her who

bully their opponents into submission with false claims of racism, it's a cottage industry. she has often been criticized -- unpack this for us quickly if you can -- i know it's complex -- accused of gaming th. immigration system, what is the truth about what she did? >> she has been involved in a sham marriage and she's working to cover that up. as a matter of fact i noticed that she was violating laws, violating ethics and cheating people here in minnesota. i filed two complaints with the minnesota campaign finance board. she was able to cover it up lonb enough in order to skate into congress and had she not been able to cover it up she wouldn't be in congress today. if congress does their job she won't be in congress much longe longer. i filed that complaint and as a result we learned she has probable cause for two years of

filing taxes with someone who is not her husband. she has probable cause for tax fraud and possibly tax evasion. we learned she was involved with two different men, one was her husband who i believe is her brother and the person she filed the taxes with was the same gentleman who she has lived wite since 2002 and is the father of her children. >> tucker: we can't confirm this but you are saying you believe that she married someone who was her biological brotherbi as part of an immigration scam. >> he moved here in 2009, he was here for three years when they were in college, lived with her and the father of her children and her children while they went to college as soon as college was done, he went back to to great britain and that was the scam right there. the question was what extra

benefits did she get that she wasn't entitled to? she should be asked, the media hasn't been asking the tough questions. at >> tucker: maybe they can wake up and do their job. before she was elected to congress, she made sharp and frequent attacks on israel, ever after joining and coming to washington, she called israel an apartheid state. despite this, she claimed she had no idea these remarks would upset anyone in this country, watch. >> you wrote israel has hypnotized the world, may a la awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of israel. you've commented a lot trying to explain what you meant and i wonder what your message is this morning as the first on our game changer series two jewish americans who find that deeply offensive? >> that's a regrettable way of

expressing that. i don't know how my comments would be offensive to jewish americans. >> tucker: rick goldstein is a lawyer who has followed the ilhan omar saga from the very beginning, thanks a lot for coming on. her remarks about israel reveal something perhaps about what she believes about theha world. what do you think those remarks tell us? >> this is a woman who called you a white supremacist and the irony there is that if she wasn't a member of congress she would be a member of the kkk -- yes she has commented on israel but she has built her career on attacking american. she has said that american control congress. she has insinuated that -- she

has tweeted support for hamas. these things have nothing to do with israel, direct attacks on american and what she does is she hides behind the fact that number one she is a muslim and a woman. anybody who criticized what she said is automatically islamophobic and racist, if you had a problem with the chinese government, would you turn around to local chinese americans and discriminate against them? that's exactly what she's doing, she's using politics as an affirmative defense to bigoted discrimination against americann jews. >> tucker: i wonder if her fellow democrats in the caucus and the house recognize this. they serve with her, you think they know this? >> they definitely should be, this is a party unable to

unequivocally condemn anti-semitism because they were pandering to her so much. we have a crisis of consciousness not only in thee democratic party but in the left. most people in the left embrace these so-called bds movement, the boycott divestment and sanctions movement which adds a case for commercial discrimination, illegal commercial discrimination against israeli.ld my organization is suing the national lawyers guild because they have a resolution and refused to do business with israeli. the rise of anti-semitism not just in the democratic party but in the left is at the level of a national emergency. we have half of all hate crimes in this country targeted, target jewish americans but you wouldn't know that from reading the media. when you have jewish children --

we have a major problem in the rise of anti-semitism here and ilhan omar is a small part of it in a symptom of it. >> tucker: she is a visible symptom, thank you very much. we noted at the beginning of the show ilhan omar is trying to take this show off the air, shut us up, silence us. i want to reassure you that's not going to happen -- why? because we work at fox news and they got our back. joe biden has long been too old, to mail, too pale to get the democratic nomination but no apparently he is also too rich. we'll tell you how rich after the break. be right back make this summer last at bass pro shops and cabela's during our new family summer event featuring free weekly skills workshops with crafts and backpack clips, plus games and activities,

♪ >> tucker: for an awfully long time, joe biden was famously the blue-collar guy, he was a tourist member of the united states senate, he wrote the amtrak to work every day from delaware. now like so many other american politicians he has cashed in. biden and his wife made $15 million in the last couple of years mostly because of book deals and speeches, some democrats are not happy for his success. now he's just too rich to be president. >> nobody is begrudging him for his success but how does he b juggle that as the guy who relates to middle-class working boaters?

>> i think it's one of many issues he's going to have to continue to answer for. he is somebody with name recognition, legacy, a lot of money but when it comes down to it, his abilities as a candidate really don't match all the hype. >> tucker: they are tailing you rich people should be president but it's a new opinion, nobody seemed to believe that during the 2016, every one of the press was all in behind hillary clinton even though she and her husband bill made more than $150 million from 2001 to 2015 for doing basically no work. how about the obama's, they are cashing in. a lot of people want michelle to run for precedents. they received a $65 million for a book advance in 2007.

last year they signed a deal with netflix to produce a weecial series, we don't know how much they are getting paid. no one seems to care about that at all. the problem isn't that joe biden isn't too rich, they can't find fault with his policies either. the problem with joe biden's what he looks like, let's be honest. tom steyer tried to impeach the president of the fight warming, he said he is willing to spend $100 million to run the country. does he have a shot? we are joined by the coolest head in fox news, someone with deep analytical skills. we always need you, dana perino.

tom steyer, i'm trying to not be mean as much as i respect anyone who wants to get into the race and open yourself up to criticism, i'm not attacking him. does he have a shot? >> i want to sleep on him. i think what happened is he spent the last two weeks thinking about the first democratic debate. out of those 20 people he didn'n see anybody he thought could beat president trump. he either has a strong ego or he might think that joe biden doesn't have what it takes to be president. he was may be unhappy didn't try to push impeachment enough. he's kind of a one-trick pony, he is an impeachment guy or a climate guy, there's complications how he made his money, with coal for example, but i think he is going to spend a lot of money on political

consultants. i think what it will do is scramble the race a little bit. he's not going to make it on the debate stage but he has money but he doesn't have another rthing that is important. if money was all it takes to be president jeb bush would've been the nominee in 2016 for the republicans and hillary clinton would be president today, it's not money that makes a big difference. you have to have "it," i don't think he has "it." the people who know him like him very much, they say he's a nice person but i don't see the charisma and he doesn't have any name i.d. when president trump entered the race late in 2015 he had almost universal name i.d., this guy is going to have to start from scratch. >> tucker: you spend years andnn millions of dollars and run commercials of your selves demanding your party impeach the president and you fail.

you can't even get the party that hates trump to impeach trump. >> he does think that impeachment and climate change of the two big things. the green new deal has been adopted by all of the 2020 democratic candidates. before he was impeachment he wah all in on climate change and a green new deal would seem to me to be perfect right up his allee but they've already adopted that, what new are you bringing to theew race? the democrats somewhat try to give hillary clinton a hard time, remember that debate about the transcripts of her speeches to wall street. bernie sanders and his team were the ones that were pushing on that, i think they are about to do the same thing to joe biden. joe biden has spent 45 years in public service, i don't begrudge him to go out there and try to make money in the market. >> tucker: does the democratic party really need another socially progressive finance gu

guy? >> the answer is you always need more. you always need more. i have this fantasy that we are going to have this contested convention and we would all get to cover it but i think the field is going to narrow quickly. eric swalwell has dropped out, four people he thinks are hurting themselves for their political futures if they don't drop out soon. beto o'rourke is on that list, kirsten gillibrand andra eric swalwell. >> tucker: it is so great to see you as always, thank you. a recent investigation on this program exposed a glaring security vulnerability at this

airport, we will get an update on that story. we will tell you after the brea break.

>> tucker: last >> tucker: last week in an exclusive investigation for this program fox's hillary vaughn showed how the tsa allowed a major security loophole to exist at major airports. food catering trucks enter and leave airports without facing proper to securities screening, it's an obvious problem one that could be exploited by terrorists. now we are happy to report our investigation has an effect. >> we just learned the tsa sent out an internal memo this week following a report exposing the food truck loophole telling its inspectors changes need to be made to the food truck screening process. last week we gave you a trove of internal documents that show catering trucks roll through our airport gates unchecked by tsa, instead they farm out security

to airlines who pay private contractors and trust them to stop explosives from ending up airborne in cateringds carts.s tsa internal audits prove these private contractors repeatedly failed to follow protocol. in 2018, the tsa oughtot to aua company that served jfk at 95% of the security contractors failed to check the cargo correctly. >> its security theater. we are spending all this manpower and hours patting down children, elderly, veterans in wheelchairs, but the airport workers who could be motivated by greed smuggle whatever it needs past security. >> the tsa recommends something new, search is now included tsa employees and not just airline

workers and paidid contractors. two whistle-blowers told us this is in direct response to t the national security that we exposed. part of what they said includes a pullout of discussions of possible remedies and suggestions for changes to the security programs related to catering and supplies. t the documents says tsa inspectors around the country need to come up with changes to theires security programs. the tsa told me they discovered these issues as part of the special emphasis assessment saying as with each special assessment a working group remains to discuss the enhancement and security policies as a result of the findings. we obtained this special assessment and it showed a food is not the only thing going on board unchecked. ice, magazines, blankets are being delivered to the cabins of the aircraft without being

searched. >> tucker: it's shocking that it's been going on all these years. thanks a lot for that report, appreciate it. we'll bring you an update tonight from the dominican republic, a detroit native becomes the latest american to suffer a near death experience after traveling there. that's notot all. jonathan hunt has more on that story. >> no one in the u.s. or the dominican republic appears to keep accurate records of deaths and illnesses among tourists there so it's impossible to know whether there is a real increase or just more reporting of these incidents.th the latest report involves a man from detroit who was vacationing and puerto plata, he told "the detroit free press" he had a couple of vodka-based drinks and ordered shrimp and fish from a local food shack and after returning to the resort where he

was staying he started to feel sick. le said he spent the next five days laying in bed and flew to florida where he has a home. the day after arriving he says he collapsed, recovered for a while and then suddenly got the stomach pains again and couldn't breathe. his wife took them to the hospital where he says he spent four days in the intensive care unit. at least nine americans have died in the dominican republic mysteriously this year.ns officials say that is actually a lower number than in some previous years if that is any comfort. >> tucker: i don't know that it is but it's interesting. we aren't at a friday yet but i's still time -- a little early this week -- for a dan bongino news explosion, ouri favorite former new york city cop is making a special appearance to tell us the questions he wants congress to ask robert mueller. that's next.

♪ >> tucker: official washington spent two years waiting for the muellerin report, remember the anticipation? now that it's out, most people in d.c. decide they hate the president trump passionately, they don't hate him enough to read 448 pages of text, that's too hard. now true believers have produced a cartoon version of the mueller report, for real. cnn was excited about this. >> it covers all of the major moments, you've got the dinnerware president trump requested loyalty from then fbi director james comey, there is the oval office screaming match with the president demanded more protection from his attorney general jeff sessions and it does include his order to

fire robert mueller. >> tucker: it may see them to do a book review of a picture book, dan bongino joins us, have you looked at these pictures? >> i don't want to lose neurons by reading this kind of imbecility. i wonder if they include the part where trump tells his attorney don mcgann to go testify or if they include the peter strzok texts where he tells his girlfriend i don't think there's any there there. here's another doozy they should've included, when his girlfriend the fbi lawyer tells a congressional committee as he's appointed that this case could still be literally nothing. we have been o spying on the presidential campaign, i wonder if it could be literally nothing is in the actual comic book, just checking with the writers,

i would love to know. >> and i suspect not. >> if i'm a betting man, you're right. >> tucker: he is coming before the congress, he will be asked questions, what should he be asked? >> the first question that has to be asked is when did you find out that collusion was the biggest political hoax in american history? my research for some of the material i was putting together for a project i'm working on indicates that it's probably no later than july of 2017. he's appointed in may of 2017 because that's when the inspector general exposes his team to the infamous texts about the smelly walmart people and how trump -- we need to know when he found out and what he was doing for 600 days after he found out he was investigating the biggest hoax in american history. >> tucker: that's a solid question, i wonder if anyone

will ask it. we can't let you leave yet, normally we meet on fridays but tonight we've got a special midweek addition of the dan bongino newsws explosion. top stories this week, he's giving us the top questions he wants robert mueller to face, that is the first one. give us the next one you would ask.rt >> the next one is important, someone needs to ask bob mueller why it is that he left out all of this exculpatory evidence in his report? i did read the report multiple times, i have to for my research project i'm doing, what's fascinating is in the report he leaves out all the information that indicates the trump team is in fact innocent. i will give you an example, they talked about these contacts between paul manafort and this guy konstantin kilimnik who has connections to russia and it's made to sound on the ferry us. by the time you're done reading it you're like oh, my gosh, he's

like agent exit from the x-men.u until you find out later was not in the report, that konstantin kilimnik was a source for the obama state department for a long time before that and nobody brought up any of these issues. the attorney who shows up at trump tower for that evil meeting when they talked about russian adoptions, the attorney who shows up was working for the team hired by misses clinton to gain research. you're not going to find that anywhere in the report which was really the mueller op-ed. >> tucker: i thought it was vladimir putin's niece. dan bongino with the facts. that is a news explosion. many on the left sat silently by or even approved as their party works to destroy historic artwork. hard to believe this is happening. one self-described nancy pelosi

♪ ♪ >> tucker: a remarkable development, the san francisco school board recently voted to destroy permanently more than a dozen historic murals ofly george washington at the high schools. the artwork, they say, is offensive so it cannot be allowed to survive.at what's interesting is that artists and art critics are typically liberal. you think they would be standing up in the face of this and saying you are not allowed to destroy art or burn books, by the way.nk but most of them have beenur utterly silent as this art faces total destruction. but not all of them. rocco landesman is a broadway f producer, a self-described pelosi liberal. he was chairman of the national endowment for the arts under president barack obama. he just wrote a letter to "the new york times" denouncing the event in san francisco. we are grateful to have him on the show tonight. thank you for coming on.

>> good to be here, tucker. it never occurred to me that i would be on this show. >> tucker: we are grateful to have you. we are sincerely nonpartisan. i love art, for whatever it's worth, and i am bothered by the idea that, because politicians don't like it, art can be destroyed. and you are, too, i think. i don't want to put words in your mouth. what do you think? >> it is appalling. it is a very nasty story going on in san francisco. it is more than about freesc speech and censorship, though it is about that, and it is not about philistinism, which is hostility toward art and what art does, and in this case, ignorance and illiteracy about the particular art in question. it's much worse. what we are talking about here is really vandalism. what is going on here is no different than the taliban and blowing up the buddhas in afghanistan or isis destroying tombs in syria.

this is really destruction of a work of art. it's nothing else besides vandalism.ti >> tucker: i couldn't agree with that more and we called around the art institute of chicago, the met in new york, art critics, trying to get somebody on the record saying, don't do this. i'm a liberal, but don't do this. we couldn't find a single person other than you. why is nobody saying anything? >> i think they are proud. the feeling is you would be attacked as a racist or a white supremacist if you objected to this.ac there has been some liberal pushback. in "the new york times," what prompted my letter to "the times." there were some rather tepid statements in san francisco, very well-crafted, careful statements supporting the murals themselves, although in one example, one of the guys says

maybe we could just cover them up instead of destroy them. by the way, this is not about covering up the works of art, it is about the destruction. i one woman said she will not be satisfied until white paint goes on the murals. there is a very vindictive, hostile, nasty quality to all of this. >> tucker: apparently we will sit back and allow this to happen.of it looks that way to me. once it does, what kind of precedent does that set? >> the destruction of art is permanent. you can't get it back again. this is done in the name of presumably, protection of the students there who are traumatized or affected by it. the board of education does not say, we are philistines, we hate art. they say, we are protecting the emotional state of these students in the school. of course, byse that line of reasoning, jewish students shouldn't read "the diary of anne frank."

you really have a situation here where people are deciding, taking it upon themselves to decide, the san francisco school board has total autonomy in this case. they decide what art should be available to people and what should not be and by the way, this is public art. this was done by the wpaon by communist painters who wanted to show that our general myths in america about george washington had been a whitewashed version of history. so you have washington with slaves, colonists walking over a the dead bodies of native americans, et cetera. >> tucker: so they continue to misunderstand the purpose of the art? this tells you everything. i cannot overstate how grateful i am -- i just want to thank you for coming on the show. i'm sure you will take abuse for doing it so it is great of you and i appreciate that.t. thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: of course. we are out of time tonight.

we will be back tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. the sworn and sincere enemy ofwe lying, pomposity, smugness, and especially groupthink, which is everywhere. sean hannity is live from new york.al stay tuned. >> sean: the show that is loved by every congressman and woman in washington, the tucker carlson show. >> tucker: amen! >> sean: buckle up, welcome to "hannity."el big breaking developments surrounding the investigation into fisa abuse tonight, including new information about the dirty dossiers out there, christopher steele. we will also bring you some good news for lieutenant general a michael flynn, and his battle against the witch hunt, which continues. first, we start with bob mueller. next wednesday, the captain of the witch hunt himself, well, he is scheduled to appear before congress in his first and only public hearing.
