that is a nerve-racking situation for the folks that are watching those levees. thank you very much. that is a "the story" on this thursday night. thank you for being with us. we will see you tomorrow night at 7:00. tucker carlson is coming up next. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." all right, take a seat, pour a cocktail. we are about to blow your mind. for more than 30 years, nancy pelosi as you well know has represented the single most liberal congressional district in america. she has always been perfectly suited for the drop your name the issue no matter what it is, abortion, climate change, permanent action, climate change, nancy pelosi has the pad position on that issue. she is a walking liberal stereotype. or so we thought. in fact, it was all a sham identity designed to cloak a darker blue reality beneath.

he thought she was a liberal who annually sends money to the mbr pledge drive, didn't you? no. in fact, pelosi is a committed racist. a hardened bigot. she would be running the ladies clan if they had one in san francisco. how do we know this? simple. watch the way nancy pelosi dismisses fellow congresswoman alexander acadia cortez. it's because she likes to minimize the conflict within hed the progressives. >> you have these wings, aoc and her group on one side. >> it's like five people. >> tucker: actually, it's four people. but of course are racist will get the number wrong. she was referring to alexander acadia kerr to his, ilhan omar, or as pelosi doubtlessly thinks of them, the four morons of the apocalypse. pelosi does not like them, she has made it clear.

and ocasio-cortez thinks she knows why. in a recent interview with "the washington post," ocasio-cortez accused pelosi of "singling out a newly elected women of color." get it qwest market yap. pressed to explain herself later, ocasio-cortez noted that pelosi has attacked these women of color despite "knowing the amount of death threats that we get. i think it is just worth asking why. that is a rhetorical question obviously. she knows why. wiles would you imperil someone's safety? because you wish them harm. because you are a crazed bigot! according to alexander acadia cortez, that is who is running the democratic party right now. quick, we've got a racist third in line for the presidency. i think we are being too literal about this. what are the odds in real life that ocasio-cortez actually believes that nancy pelosi is a racist? or that joe biden is a racist? or for that matter, donald trump is a racist?

what are the chances she really thinks that? probably about zero. the first thing to know about the cries of racism you hear incessantly from the left, they are totally insincere. no one saying that actually believes it. the point isn't to get rid of racism, the point is to seize power and it works. denouncing someone as racist is the kind of rhetorical stone grenade. for the moment, the accused just stands there looking bewildered. that is when you scoop up the loot and run. it is a smash and grab operation and it is highly effective. it is how the left has justified its entire clinical program, and the name of fighting bigotry. america has been accused of racism there for we must pick it, legalize, give up the first moment, pay for someone else's abortion, tear down our borders and we are not allowed to ask about citizenship on our senses board because racism here to see how it works? yeah. the question is how did

nancy pelosi fall for this? she's been working the scams along herself you think she would see it coming but apparently she didn't. mcdonald is the author of "the diversity delusion." she joins us tonight. are you surprised having followed this argument for so many years so closely, are you surprised that pelosi and biden are being denounced as racist right now? >> come it is hilarious. let's take a moment to savor this moment. the left turns on itself wielding the exact weapons it wields against everyone else and accuses itself of racism. it is prosperous but it is also a different matter. i think what we are witnessing is the most dangerous import from the academy into the real world. students are taught from the moment they arrive on campus, two things in two things only reliably, which is that the most important thing about themselves is their group identity defined by gonads and melanin, and that

racism and sexism based on those characteristics are the defining features of american society. taught to believe that when they face any kind of disagreement they reflexively accuse their ideological opponents of bigotry and hate, and that works wonderfully on a college campus. he accused the president of racism, he immediately crumples and orders another million dollars in diversity bureaucracy. you accuse a corporation of racism and the preposterous claim that the betsy ross flag as racist. it works with politician with biden repudiating his justified report for the apostate united four crime bill that saved thousands of minority lives. the question is, that work for the rest of us? and if it does, civil society is over because this is a totalitarian power play, and attempt to shut down any sort of dialectical search for truth and

to occupy the soul allowable ideological ground. and that is a recipe for a society to halt dead in its tracks and go in reverse. >> tucker: because it is not really an argument. nobody is making a case. by the way, this eliminates the need to make the case. you don't actually have to convince anybody of anything if you are doing it to fight racism, it's a moral imperative and everyone else can shut up and obey. >> there has been political disagreements long before identity politics. people disagree, that is what america is about. that we have the right, we have the freedom to debate our opinions. the alternative to debate is violence. it is an act of narcissism to think that everything is about yourself, to immediately say, well it must be because of my gender and race that i'm being disagreed with and you must be a bigot to disagree with me. no, that is not the case. these are issues that deserve to be fleshed out in the public

forum and if they are not, we are approaching a totalitarian state very quickly. >> tucker: this is a much longer conversation but in a short time, would you recommend -- what course of action for normal people? ignore these slurs for the cynical politics that they are? how should the average person fight back against this totalitarianism? speak of the average person has to simply reject the racism charge. all of us have to working on alternative explanations for our reality. racism is no longer the predominant characteristic of america, if it ever was. it was a part of it, it was never the defining feature. but it certainly is not. this still remains the land of opportunity. the alternative explanation is that there are profound behavioral differences, choices that individuals make that determine social outcomes. we have to fight back against this narrative, tucker. because if they win, we lose our

civilization, we lose meritocracy, and we lose freedo freedom. >> tucker: heather mcdonnell, wise. thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: the surest way to get applause in the 2020 democratic primary is to bash the country the candidates say they want to rule. it's not just the current president that is bad. america itself is bad. it's people, its history, its institutions are all racist and the only way to redeem them, of course, is to elect a democratic president. here is their case. >> there is a wall of mistrust, not just what has happened in the past but what is happening around the country in the president. >> there is a purposeful agenda that keeps us apart! >> we have to start by ripped storing and dealing with routing a systematic racism built into our laws, our politics and our institutions. >> we have a criminal justice system plagued by racism! >> as president, i will take on institutional racism directly!

i will look into every issue that plagues this country! >> we have to go much deeper into a country whose very foundation is racism. >> i know there is systemic racism in our criminal justice system. >> for communities of color that stare down structural racism for generations, the disaster has hit even harder. >> true justice means we don't have a racist criminal justice system that kills and imprisons black americans. >> we can to be blind to the impact of generations of racism and white supremacy that were written into our laws over centuries. >> tucker: bob watson is the president and founder of the woodson institute and a frequent guest on the show, thank you for joining us tonight. >> please to be here. >> tucker: you've been around politics for many, many decades. have you ever seen a moment where attacking the country was a centerpiece of anyone's

political campaign for presiden president? >> i haven't, but let me say that i really disagree a little bit with heather mcdonald. i don't think we need to fight their arguments with a counter argument. we must confront them with a counter experienced, and black america are among the strongest supporters in america. we fought in every war and not a single black is every tried to reason. and we as a people have fought for the promise of america against its problems of racism. we need to go to those communities that all of those politicians are talking about and work with and identify grassroots leaders who are black in there who use the principles of our founders as the principal means to deliver themselves, redeem themselves from self-destructive behavior, from drugs, from alcohol because they are the living witnesses that

america is defined by its promise. for example, in the face of racism, we build hospitals, insurance companies, hotels. these are the stories of how we achieve against the odds. we have 20 blacks who were born who died millionaires. some of them actually went back into those plantations and purchased them where they were enslaved and even took in the families of the masters. so if blacks were able to achieve these great feats in the jury racism, then they can be used today. the same principles in our lives. but we must give voice to the people suffering the problems to speak for themselves. everyone of of those white and black candidates do not live in

those communities suffering the problems. therefore, they cannot speak to them. >> tucker: good point. >> we've got to give them the boys to speak for themselves and they will give a different message than what you are hearing. we love this country, we fought for this country, we fought for its promise. we achieved in the face of racism, not in the absence of it. >> tucker: that is a wise point. the implication of what you just said is it's the people who live in the richest neighborhoods who are the most hostile to america. it's a bewildering pair to. >> they really are. a lot of these black scholars are angry than frederick douglass. >> tucker: all right. that is a deep point. robert woodson, thank you very much. good to see you tonight. >> thank you. >> tucker: when ordered to fix the problem of racism, democrats want to create a real problem by opening the nation's prisons. that's after the break. plus, the left loves to tell you

that illegal immigration is a product of global warming. is there any evidence that is actually true? since we are all about science? we'll tell you in just a minute. (photographers) candace! charlie! i'm so hungry. (photographers) look here! candace, starkist creations come in over 20 flavors-- right: chicken, salmon, or tuna like my favorite! just tear, eat... mmm-- and go! try my tuna or chicken salad creations. bravo!

♪ >> tucker: from the late 1960s to the early 1990s, if any of you in the country remember, america suffered a crime wave unmatched in its entire history. in 1990, for example, more than 2,200 people were murdered in new york city alone. six people every single day. crime defined in new york city.

that is no longer true. the crime wave ended, thankfully. new york and other major cities became livable again. real estate prices went up. everyone benefited. the poor and vulnerable most of all. but now, the more decadent elements of the left want you to turn back the clock. 2020 democratic candidates are promising if elected, they will release more than a million convicted felons back into your neighborhood. watch this. >> do you admit to cutting incarceration by 50% if elected? >> we would do more than that. the answer is yes, i have a better plan than you guys have! >> we have an aggressive plan to cut incarceration by half in this country and i'm convinced we can do it without an increase in half dome at crime >> tucker: mr. harris, political commentator, thank you very much for coming on. they are talking about releasing more than a million felons back onto the streets. do you think most people are in favor of that? >> i think what they are referring to is not -- when you say felon, you are thinking of

these bogeymen that should be locked away forever. i think they are talking about people who are -- >> tucker: i'm talking about people who are locked away beer that is what they are promising, to release half of prison inmates. they are by definition felons. >> we believe they are locked away but that they should be locked away. there are people what they are talking about more is just people who are not necessarily felons, but people who are nonviolent offenders, drug offenders, stuff like that. releasing them. >> tucker: hold on, i'm sorry -- i'm not going to let you get a feel of what they actually said. people running, major candidates, pete buttigieg among others, are promising to let out half of all prison inmates in the united states. they are not nonviolent offenders. half of all inmates are not nonviolent offenders. a lot of felons by definition are going to be released. is that a winning message?

with that make this country better? >> as the united states is known for incarcerating more people than any other country in the world, i think what people believe is that there are some people who maybe don't need to be incarcerated. there are some people we should maybe let back out into society that don't pose a threat to us. that is their message. not all 2020 candidates have the same message -- >> tucker: that is not what they are arguing. it's not a crazy idea. of course there are people who shouldn't be in prison and pose no threat. an 80-year-old convicted felon, let him out. i get it. by 50% of all prison inmates? that's not nonviolent offenders. that is a wholesale prison break that would completely change this country forever. the crime rate would spike there is no way around it, and that is why no one has ever proposed that before. >> i think a prison break implies there are criminals running out of jail in a breakout. what they are talking about is a legally -- >> tucker: while letting half of them out.

>> that would be illegal, it wouldn't be a prison break. they would be legally released from prison and the idea behind that, all 20 plus democrats running for presidency don't have the exact same policy on that but most of them agreed that there are low-level offenders right up to, depending on their platform, what you reference. but again, being the nation that incarcerated the most people in the world, we probably could survive letting some of those people out. there is an entire industrial complex built on prison labor and incarcerating people who are predominantly marginalized people. >> tucker: look, i understand what the talking points are. the fact is this was an incredibly dangerous and violent part of the country when i was a kid and it no longer is. one of the main reasons for that is because we locked a lot of people out. i'm sure we locked people up that didn't deserve to be locked up and kept them locked up for too long and i'm sure there are ways we can improve the system -- >> but there were also people who were locked up the

disproportionately impacted people of color while other people, not people of color who committed the same crime did not get locked up. >> tucker: it's a crock. >> it's statistically supported by data. >> tucker: no one put people in jail because of their skin color. >> you are suggesting that america didn't put people in jail because of their skin color? when africans americans commit the same drug offenses, the same crime, african-americans are four times as likely to get locked up. >> it's racist, we need to let half of all prison inmates out of prison? >> i just gave you data, and you disagreed with it. >> tucker: you didn't give me data of any kind. >> i just gave you data for african-americans being incarcerated for the same crime of four times more likely for the same crime. it's a true. >> tucker: it's not true.

and we are out of time. >> you can look it up. >> tucker: i have, actually. tens of thousands people from dozens of countries are coming into this country. it's not complicated why they are coming, our country is rich, their countries are poor. why wouldn't they want to come? our leaders have made obvious they wouldn't want to come, it's not our fault, it's their fault. but there is an explanation for this that makes it even more our fault. migrants are fleeing here because of global warming that we created. watch this. >> mode ground, more acidification of the ocean, more rising sea levels, more mass migrations of people. >> we would still be in a moment where we are shifting populations around the globe in large parts of the planet. >> we've got to remember that they are fleeing these countries on the face of the planet today, compounded by drought that was caused not by god, not by mother nature, but by us. man-made climate change, our

emissions, our excesses in the face of the fact of the science. when it is that deadly, you are unable to grow food to feed yourself, you have no choice but to come here. >> tucker: they've been saying stuff like this for years. hillary clinton and john kerry falsely blames the syrian migrant crisis on global warming, too. there mismanagement of the world. the message is obvious. it's a moral to resist. an attorney joins us tonight to assess this line of argument. thank you so much for coming in. i'm a little bit confused by this argument. we are told on the basis of no evidence, by the way, there is no actual scientific data to show that this is real. beto o'rourke just thought of it in a car. but if it is true and people are fleeing global warming, why are they moving to the hottest states in the country? why are they coming to maine or minnesota? seriously. >> tucker, the part is because we share a land border

throughout the southwest united states which is the hardest part of the country. if they had the option of directly coming to maine or vermont that is where they would be coming directly, however you can walk to -- >> tucker: that is an option. they are all over the country. iowa is filled with illegal aliens but the overwhelming majority are in our hottest states. they can move internally. we don't have internal passports. i'm serious. >> we have to have abort a solution where people feel comfortable moving throughout the country where we have an asylum system that works for regular individuals. instead of having 40 years of talk on immigration, remember, when we talk about global warming this isn't about the u.s. being immoral. this is a global issue. if you look at the migrant crisis in africa, people are dying by the hundreds try to get to europe, they are trying to get to america. they are fleeing climate change in the equator. if you look at thailand, if you look at southeast asia, they have the exact same issue. it's a global problem with a

global solution. >> tucker: then let me ask you a question then, when was the last time you heard a democratic politician note the truth, which is that china is by far the world's greatest emitter of carbon? if you believe that global climate change being driven by carbon emissions, you should be mad at china. one was last time you heard any democrat running for any office mentioned that everquest marks because that was part of the paris climate accord. of course, china and india have to be held to global standards. >> tucker: when was the last time you heard the democrats say china stop building coal plants. >> obama said it continuously through his administration. that was part of the negotiation of the paris climate accord. >> tucker: the lesson is to continue to build coal plants? allow china to continue -- >> tucker, you have to understand that china has invested more in planting forests in america has in the last 100 years. china has invested more in solar

panels than the u.s. has in the last 50 years. china is making progress. china is transitioning to a global renewable economy. america is lagging behind. they have an idea of the future. >> tucker: china is the good guy, we are the bad guy, got it. >> i never said china is the good guy. i said this is a global problem with global solutions. china, bangladesh, africa, they all have the same issues. >> tucker: we are out of time. for years, the powerful with epstein even though he prayed on little girls. what is that tell you about the powerful in our country question record does tell you something. we will be much more specific after the break. president trump was attacked for calling politicians corrupt. it may be they are right. maybe there is evidence. maybe there are indictments to prove it. all of that after the break.

>> tucker: the jeffrey epstein scandal is so salacious and filthy and weird, sometimes it is hard to believe it isn't being copied from a novel. epstein is supposedly a billionaire yet nobody seemed sure exactly how he made his money. what does he do for a living customer nobody knows. his home is full of bizarre features, artificial eyeballs, a chess piece with pieces modeled off his staff supposedly. but the most bizarre part of this story is how many people are tied to it. dozens of famous, rich influential people turned out to be friends with jeffrey epstein. his predatory behavior towards teenage girls was apparently an open secret everyone knew, yet he remained a free man for decades. michael moore and davis is a contributor to the american conservative. he just wrote a very smart piece warning that the epstein scandal is "how revolutions begin. he joins us tonight. thank you very much for coming on. what did you mean, "this is how revolutions begin? ">> like i said in the piece,

stories like this break and you can really see why the french decided to march to their aristocracy into the street, the embrace of madame the guillotine. tucker, people used to believe in is called the hellfire club near the rich and powerful would meet in secret for these weird opulent orgies, and they protect each other. that is the crucial thing, because they all had blackmail in each other. come to find, the club is entirely real. the depraved, decadent elites, it really exists and epstein, clinton donor, close personal friend of president clinton, he is at the center of it. >> tucker: so this is the kind of story where people looking on the side actually, the system is every bit as rotten as i expected it was. may be more rotten? it makes them more radical. >> i think jeffrey epstein will

do to the establishment what ex-cardinal theodore mccarrick did to the church. sadly. everyone in the catholic hierarchy knew about mccarrick. everyone knew that he was praying on altar boys and seminarians. even people we consider good bishops. otherwise good bishops knew about mccarrick and by and large, they did nothing. it the same thing with the admissions scandal. everyone knew that these celebrities were paying for their children to go to the ivy league. that was an open secret. but when the story broke, everyone pretended to be surprised. it's the same thing. people look at this system and they say it's rigged. and you know what? it is. it is rigged. >> tucker: it is! you're absolutely right. the hellfire club. that is -- thank you for joining us and explain that. excellent piece this morning.

thank you. earlier this year, the president lamented on twitter that while the people of puerto rico are great, the island's governing class is corrupt. for saying that, he was of course called, you guessed it, a racist. >> this morning after attacking puerto rican leaders for how they spent their hurricane money, president trump tweeted that the best thing that happened to puerto rico's president donald j. term. >> this man is capable of failing casinos, and he has failed 3.1 million americans in puerto rico. >> d think it is a question of politics that he doesn't see those people out there on the island as his constituents because they can't about his election, or is it just disdain for minorities or what? why does he talk so disdainfully of puerto rico? >> vintage racist trump. >> nobody is getting anything done with it. >> tucker: disdain for for minority people. it turns out, he was right, the

president was. six puerto rican leaders including the former commonwealth education secretary were arrested for steering political funds to politically connected but unqualified contractors. in other words, stealing reconstruction money. former assistant director to the fbi, he wants work in puerto rico and he joins us tonight for some perspective. when you sell the president tweet that the people of puerto rico are great but their leadership is corrupt, and you saw him attacked for that, what was your reaction? >> i agreed with him. i worked there for many years as an agent and as a commander. puerto rico is lovely, it's a great place to visit, it has a lot to tell mike of potential but there is a lot of corruption. i really blame the federal government for that corruption, frankly. you don't throw that much money at a situation with no strings attached to it. there has to be a master or somebody who decides how this

money is spent. if not, some days going to steal it. puerto rico, new orleans, anywhere else in the world where we have these disasters, we can't just throw money, we have to control the money. the losers here, frankly, are the people of puerto rico. they lost dramatically and they are still suffering because of it. >> tucker: it's not compassionate to just send a bunch of money to corrupt politicians and let them squander it. you're not helping anybody, are you? >> no, not at all. if you're going to take the money, there has to be controlled. somebody is in charge of how you let contracts, how you bid them, how you allocate the money so that it goes to the people. that is primarily the problem with our whole foreign aid program. we send million and billions of dollars overseas and very little of it gets to the people who need it. and we need to rethink how we do that. there needs to be somebody from our government that's in charge, that has the experience to be sure to it gets to the right places.

or we are throwing it out wow down the drain. to be when you think we arty have that but we don't. thank you for being on tonight. >> thanks. >> tucker: finally, rest from the craziness, final exam. can you best our experts about remembering the weird things that happen over the seven days? spine tingling competition. stay tuned. when i was diagnosed with breast cancer, there was no hesitation, i went straight to ctca. after my mastectomy, it was maddening because i felt part of my identity was being taken away. when you're able to restore what cancer's taken away, you see that transformation firsthand knowing that she had options that she could choose, helped restore hope. my team made me feel like a whole person again. cancer treatment centers of america. appointments available now.

"we don't allow credible threats of violence against anyone. our intent was to cover things like calls for the death penalty or support for military action against violent actors area we have covered our standards to be more clear about that." thank you, facebook. we are happy about that. happy that facebook is tolerating violent threats towards dissidents. one thing is antifa. al qaeda and isis gets more, but antifa opposes your rights more than any in the country. learned andy ngo learned that the hard way when he tried to cover antifa protests last week.

watch. >> [bleep]! [bleep]! >> usually it's the government that blocks the government now, a new legal fund aims to combat both of these threats to your liberties. harvey dillon is an actual civil rights attorney and the founder of great to see you. what's the purpose, and aim of the group you just started? >> tucker, i've been a civil rights attorney for most of my career and i saw a real gap in the civil rights establishment that when it comes to increasingly first amendment rights in general, anyone who is on the right or anybody who is marginalized and not part of the popular woke movement, there's no place for them in the civil rights community. i started this nonprofit last

year approved by the irs for nonprofit status earlier this year and we aim to fill the gaps that the civil rights community doesn't fail, like the aclu no longer cares about first and issues certainly for people on my side of the spectrum. it simply there to help people who are ignored. andy ngo is the first clients. we are also hoping to help people who are being marginalized by a big tech and oppressed by the government. so the city of san jose, google, we are looking at legal action at portland, and all of these things are dear to my heart and there will be many attorneys joining me to help take these cases. >> tucker: i assume you will be censored by big tech by consumers of big tech. >> tweets that should have thousands of like have hundreds, et cetera. i think this is a common issue, something we talk about the white house, actually. >> tucker: how did that meeting go? >> it was very interesting.

there were a lot of people across the twitter-verse, all different walks of life, but what they share is a passion for free speech making sure their voices were heard. we have great conversations privately and also with the bigger group about what was happening, some members of congress talking about potential legislative analysis, i'm as comfortable skeptical of anything about the immunity they have with lawsuits, so i think to me as an attorney i think the first thing that needs to get done is to reign in those definitions and make sure that only the speech that was meant to be protected when the statute was passed is what's protected now. it's gotten out of control, tucker. the court house doors are barred to anybody who wants to sue for their rights even with breach of contract, and i trust anything like that, big tech has got its finger on the scale and they own a lot of politicians, and a lot of big tech in d.c.

it's an epic struggle. >> tucker: even the antitrust think tank takes money from the big tech trust, which tells you everything about the depth of the corruption. harvey dylan, one of the very few people standing in opposition to the totalitarian impulses of big tech and we are grateful for that. good luck with this. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: one of the very rare people to see early on that the greatest threat to your liberties, probably at this stage in american history not coming from the u.s. government, but coming from companies with more power than any private organization has ever wielded. google is at the very top of that list. that's it for us. we will be back tomorrow. 8:00 p.m., the show that's the sworn and totally sincere and the me of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. dvr if you can figure out how to offer that and if you can, send

us a note. we will be absolutely impressed. next? 9:00 p.m. hosting that shall come alive from new york city, we have a special surprise for you. >> sean: it's not a surprise! >> tucker: sean hannity. >> sean: who were you fighting with today. >> tucker: all i am doing is standing up for myself. >> sean: there are people who want to silence voices they don't like. if you don't like the show, tune in anyway. we believe in freedom of speech, expression. i don't believe in boycotts. i want all voices to be heard. busy next tonight. democrats are very anxious, jerry nadler all of a sudden is beginning to sweat. they cowardly schiff? he's looking more shifty than he
