joe's candid, honest counsel has made me a better president and commander in chief. >> mr. president, we know that i will be there for you. my whole family and i know that it is reciprocal. >> tucker: you didn't have to be obama to appreciate that there was something sweet about it. it was all fake it turns out. in the end, obama is not going to be there for joe biden. in fact, his eternal friendship has already ended. it didn't even make it through the next presidential term. instead of helping his trusted friend run for the presidency, obama has refused to endorse joe biden. according to some reports, obama repeatedly urged biden not toou run. "you don't have to do this" he warned biden. obama it turns out, cares about one thing, himself. he's obsessed with his political legacy. every day that biden stays on the campaign trail he is detracting from that legacy.

why? weeks ago we told you don't believe theel polls. the polls say that joe biden is the front runner for the democratic nomination and as of today he stille is. the polls tell you he's got a very good chance of being the president. but that's not real. biden officially is still in the lead and yet, let's be completely honest, his campaign is not a real campaign. it's a zombie effort. it lurches from one blunder to another until finally some catastrophe will put it out of its misery. even biden's own allies want him to stop speaking in public so often. why? because when people actually see joe biden, they realize he's not a distinguished elder statesman. he is, sadly, a fading one. he thinks cory booker is the is the president of the united states.s. he believes that truth outweighs the facts. he thinks he was vice president last year during the park when shooting. cawatch. >> i watch what happens when those kids from parkland came up to see them i was

vice president. some of you covered it. >> tucker: so moments like that don't make joe biden about person, but they do make his campaign look like what it actually is, a joke. vet a serious play for the white house. still, if biden were offering something real, a compelling message, he could get elected anyway, but he's not. he is in fact a democratic fossil. running for leadership of the party that sees him as to mail, to pale, and stale. he is old enough to have held public views prior to the year 2008, year zero in american politics. that makes his old policies totally unacceptable to the party's voters. 1995 joe biden supported all kindsct of things current joe biden would never admit to supporting. a secure border, traditional marriage. if drugs off this rar creek. criminals in prison even. watch this. >> madam president, we have president on our streets. if that has in fact, in part

because of its neglect, created. again, it does not mean that we created them. that we somehow forgive them or do not take them out of society to protect my family and yours from them. they arebo beyond the pale, many of those people. beyond the pale. >> tucker: beyond the pale. now it's biden himself who is beyond the pale. the current party agrees and freeing criminals, protecting criminals, celebrating criminals. in that new reality, biden iso suspect. at worst he is a relic of the past. all the energy is with the other candidates. bernie sanders, kamala harris, elizabeth warren. one of these three is going to rise above the rest and take the nomination. it will not be joe biden. almost everyone knows that now. and that's all bad news if you're barack obama and what you really care about is your own cherished legacy because joe biden is explicitly running as a continuation of barack obama's agenda.

the only problem, that agenda has been completely eclipsed bys a former radical political agenda. now democrats are demanding single payer health care, which for free ton illegal immigrants, the ones streaming over our open border with mexico.s candidates are advocating reparations based on skinra col. the abolition basically of america's history. they want to remake gender relations from the ground up. obama could be seen as the one who paves the way for all of that thanks to his friend joe biden, he's becoming a democratic president who kept it from happening even sooner. lisa boothe is a senior fellow at independent women's voice and she joins usul tonight. >> great to see you. >> tucker: so when was the last time a president didn't want his vice president to be elected running on his own policies? it's all very strange. why wouldn't obama want biden to run? >> probably 2016, because it wasn't just reported thatde in 2020 president obama tried to get him to not run, but also in

2016 as well. there were reports that president obama about hillary clinton would be the more formidable candidate, would be the stronger candidate of the two and tried to convince joe biden to not run. so the question for the democratic primary v voters is y put your faith in a candidate when the people closest to them seem to doubt his ability and it's not just president obama. i also think following david axelrod on this is really interesting as well because if you follow him on twitter, if you've listened to what he's said on tv, he has taken open shots at joe biden and has also undercut his candidacy and this is someone who ran the 2008 and 2012 races. someone with intimate knowledge of joe biden's ability as a candidate who continues to take shots at him publicly. >> tucker: it seems pretty clear that biden isn't up for it and he doesn't have the support certainly of the professional class in the democratic campaign

world. i wonder if people in biden's campaign know that. >> would seem reports that his allies want him to curtail his schedule because i guess he's been making more gas later in the day. i think there's at least some acknowledgment that there's trouble there. if you don't have the confidence in your candidate to go out and be doing these campaign events, that's not a very strong statement of that candidate's candidacy. that should be a concern to democratic primary voters. if you go through joe biden's history, he has not proven himself as a candidate. the last tough race that he had was his first senate race. hest has two failed presidential bids under his belt, one that he left in shame for a plagiarism scandal in 1988. this is not someone who has proven himself as a solid tendidate. >> tucker: right. it's been 47 years. >> he's not a lot of opportunities. he's had a lot of time. >> tucker: i'm fascinated by obama though. even the politics where relationships tend to be

transactional, this seems like a profound betrayal. biden served him faithfully for eight years. obama staffers were constantly attacking biden. he put up with all of it and then when it comes has turned to run, obama doesn't endorse him? >> its business. >> tucker: it's disloyal. >> its business. politics is a business. you've seen how the kentucky governor, if i can find my word words, kentucky governor matt devon ran against mitch mcconnell and took shots at him in the primary and then mitch mcconnell went on to go endorse them. so politics is a business and i think thatt president obama as well as david axelrod, if you look at some of the things he's been saying, obviously i can't speak for him but if you follow these things, i don't think they trust joe biden's ability as a candidate. i think they see him as one of the weaker candidates, not the strongest one, to try to go on to defeat president trump, which is obviously the objective of democrats. i also think one other big issue for joe bidenen as well with his abandonment of the hyde amendment. it makes them look completely spineless. we are talking in the exact same

week you have campaign officials going on telling his media that, look, this is his deeply held conviction. he's had this conviction for decades, he's not going to abandonment and then joe biden goes and abandons it. it makes him look weak. it makes them look spineless and he doesn't look like is rooted in any core belief. >> tucker: so at least wee know how he defines deeply held conviction. >> right, he doesn't have any bearing thanks, tucker. >> tucker: good to see you. so with biden gone and obama's legacy rejected, what is left in the democratic party? the answer, the most extreme set of positions in history, the party that believes the best way to make a america better is to giveon terrorists and murderers the right to vote, literally. >> if somebody commits a seriouw crime, sexual assault, murder, they're going to be punished. they may be in jail for ten years, 20 years, 50 years, their whole lives. that's what happens when you commit a serious crime. but i think the right to vote is

inherent to our democracy. yes, even for terrible people. >> tucker: it wasn't so long ago that no person running as a mainstream candidate for president of the united states would consider saying something like that. now it's the consensus on the left. decades from now, disagreeing with it might make you a criminal. the pace at which things are moving as fast. fellow and deputy director of legal policy of the manhattan institute, one of our favorite guests and he joins us tonight. so this does seem all of a sudden an idea that your average person i've got to believe is limited because it obviously is is part of the democratic catechism. if you have to believe this in order to run for president. how did that happen so fast? >> i think people just bought wholesale into the idea that the criminal a justice system coulde fairly characterized on the whole is overly oppressive and racially biased. this is what people have been told over and over and over

again and you say it long enough and eventually you'll get enough people to believe it. >> tucker: that's exactly it. the system itself is rotten. >> that's right. >> tucker: they told us that one for long enough that they themselves start to believe it. i wonder what happens to a society where the justice system is considered illegitimate and racist. crime spikes. things start to fall apart, no? >> that's exactly right. we are already kind of seeing little examples of that all around the country. if you look at baltimore, where police have sort of really backed off radically in the last few years since the controversy over that death. you have something like a 70% reduction of police initiated stops. what has followed that? was followed that has been a serious crime increase that again has primarily victimized precisely thee populations that these candidates purport to represent. we saw the same thing in chicago. 2015 at the end of 2015 into 2016, police in chicago started toas back off of self initiated

stops, the stop and frisk. and what happened? that year, murder increased by 58%. there was a study done of this by criminologist and it was published in the university of illinois law review and what it found was that 239 of the additional murderers 2016 compared to '15 can be contributed to the police back off. so we know, we have examples of what happened. >> tucker: so what you're saying is that guilty white liberals pushed these policies to ease their own race belt and black people die as a result. >> right. they proclaim to be representing minoritybl communities that are, we are told, oppressed by the criminal justice system, but the reality is --ib they focus on these statistics. at one of the things they like to focus on is the disparity in criminal justice enforcement front to my friends. what they never talk about are the disparities in the victimization trends. and when you look at the victimization trends you find that black men, for example, which constitute less than 7% of

the population, make up about half of all murder victims. when we think about who was going to pay the price of the policies they want to enact, like for example, cutting the prison population and have come it's going to be those communities with a to represent. >> tucker: is not pete pete buttigieg or cory booker who's going to be victimized here. it's peoplee in these neighborhoods. is there anyone running for president, i know you follow this for a living, on the democratic side, who has stood apart and said this is crazy, we are going to get higher murder rates,t like let's slow down and stop attacking the criminal justice system wholesale as a racist. if anybody disagreeing with the trend? >> no, and that's actually one of the most concerning things. this is kind of emerged as one of the single most -- like most most-pass ideological litmus test for the democratic nomination, so no one who has any prominence on that side of the aisle has the courage to come forward and say what is plainly true.

right? they talk about -- bernie sanders released a plan today that says mass incarceration, as he calls it, didn't make us any safer. that's just false, right? there are multiple studies that show that at the very least, the increase in incarceration is responsible for about 25% of the crime decline from the 1990s. that's a lot of lives saved, a lot of liveses improved. and i think they reject these policies that we know clearly worked at the peril of everyone that they claim to represent. >> tucker: that's right. because they are for chaos. thanks so much for that. >> thanks so much for having me. >> tucker: well, the president, keeping rumors alive, the united states could buy greenland. after the start of this show just a moment ago the president tweeted this image. it shows a new trump tower on the shoresin of greenland. along with that picture, the president tweeted this.

for us tonight. hey, trace. >> hate. even at the height of the raile. is, the far right demonstrators outnumbered by the far left antifascist, or antifa protesters. and there l were someone had who didn't belong to either side, but still police tried to keep the ideologies apart because the portland mayors of the situation was "potentially dangerous and volatile" and he was right. along with exchanging heated words and goading each other, there were skirmishes throughout the day. some of them were posted by conservative writer andy, who was beatend up by antifa protesters back in june. he didn't take any of the video and in the first one there's only 50 seconds, so not long enough to get the full context, but it shows what appeared to be two antifa members using batons to go after and pummel a man insurance. watch.

[inaudible] >> no violence. no violence! >> yeah. the second video is even more disturbing. and he and otherness on hands at the rally claim a man was maced and knocked unconscious by an entity for mob and his partner or spouse would try to protect him, reportedly backs up that claim, but we didn't see the actual violence, just the aftermath. watch this. >> get the [bleep] away! >> shut up you crazy [bleep]! >> you've you guys have got to. >> the final video doesn't need context because it speaks forus itself. antifa members were launching verbal assault on police. that includes imploring them to die. watch. >> you will know it is morally and ethically bankrupt. you know. you are a parasite! go shoot yourselves! suicide is the only way out! >> in all, police made 13

arrests, metal poles, hair spray and other weapons. >> tucker: trace gallagher for us, thanks, trace. at this point, antifa has been explicitly linked to quite a few riots and at least one full-blown terror attack. they are a domestic terror threat. despite that fact, members of congress continue to praise antifa, or simply lie about what they do. on cnn w yesterday for example, deborah halen said that assaulting people with hammers and bike locks is just another form of "peaceful protest." >> this is on par with what the president does. he sides with the white supremacist. he sides with the white nationalists. not that trump would side with the peaceful protesters working to safeguard their city from domestic terrorism. >> tucker: we will be charitable to the congresswoman and imagine that was just moronic and not evil.

we will just assume she hasn't seen any of the footage from this we can but you don't have to have seen the footage to know what antifa is capable of or to know what they've been doing pretty regularly for the past few years. andy, assaulted in portland, brain damage just two months ago. she must've known about this. [bleep]. [bleep]. [inaudible] [bleep]. [bleep]. >> tucker: so the menu just sobbing attacked by the mob, he is one of those the congresswoman describes as a terrorist. the people attacking him? there what she calls peaceful protesters. victor davis hanson is a senior fellow at the hoover institution. stanford university. thanks for coming on. what you make of the left's

response. not just the left's response, but the democratic party's response. if democratic candidates for president to antifa violence over the past couple of years? >> i think everybody in history and any time you see people dressed in black following buffoonish costco dues with masks and gloves, they are terrorists and their thugs. the democratic party knows that. but i think they feel that there useful trends warriors in a larger -- the prince of darkness, donald trump and his supporters. you can really see that thesee protesters are not deterred, they have an implicit message that what they're doing is with a wink and a nod approved by keith ellison or chris cuomo or other luminaries inov the media and progressive movement. so they won't stop. you can see the representativero looks ad, for example "the squad," and otherwise obscure newcomer group of four house members, suddenly they are celebrities their anti-semitism

and extremism which is going to set this -- they'd set a precedent for others to be as hard left as they can to get celebrity and attention that otherwise a first-term representative would not earn. one thing, talker, these nt for protesters are mostly middle-class white kids and upper middle class white kids and they are in woke cities. and you get the impression that the part of this collective $1.5 trillion in student debt. they seem always educated, a lot of them, and their angry and frustrated because in return for all that money wasted, they got the social science or environmental studies or worthless degrees and they are not earning very much money and yet they want to live in these hipster cities and satisfy their hipster appetites and they are not exposed to the traditional criteria that create adulthood, and that's buying a house, getting married, having childre

children.

>> tucker: jeff bezos is the richest man in the world. he controls our most important national newspaper, "the washington post." his company, amazon, is everywhere and knows more about you than you know about yoursel yourself. amazon has microphones listening in on millions of americans homes and has 300,000 employees, many laborers working in horrifying conditions for low pay. in short, amazon is one of america's most dangerous companies. there's a lot to worry about with amazon and yet despite that obvious fact, congress does not seem terribly interested in renting them in or even regulatings them. it's only speculated asn. to wh, but here's one possible reason. starting in late may, five of amazon's senior executives made personal contributions to a

single member of congress, congressman david of rhode island. turns out he is a antitrust investigations against major tech companies. the donations came just two months before amazon attended a major congressional hearing on antitrust issues. that sounds like corruption to us. probably because it is. congressman insists those won't influence hisss investigation. course he always welcome on this show to explain the propriety of taking that money. "the washington post," by the way, also insists that jeff bezos doesn't influence their coverage but he didn't become the world's richest man by wastingnf his money, obvious. obviously. congressman, you are always welcome. it's been moremo than a week sie jeffrey epstein died, but the mystery around his demise but continues toed grow. they ruled the death a suicide last week even though several aspects of his autopsy clashed

with that interpretation.la dr. marc siegel is a fox medical contributor, frequent guest on the show. we are happy to have him tonight. what do you make of this ruling by new york medical authorities? >> good evening. i don't have any reason to directly contestoo the ruling fm the medical examiner's office, but i will say this, there are several irregularities attached to this. to start with, the pathologist who did the autopsy did not rule it a suicide the week before, she hadn't decided yet. ede was waiting for more information to come in. her boss ruled it a suicide a week later despite the fact that there were three fractures in the neck. my information says there was also hemorrhaging, i've also heard there was some bruising. i'm wondering the speed with which this was changed, week is not a lot of time to go from undecided to suicide. what information did theyro hav? have to tell you, i'm waiting for the autopsy report to be released, which the public should know, we still don't have. i want to be able to look at

myself. i want joe publicc out there to be able to look at it and make their own decisions. just the cause of death alone is not enough. i want to know if the contributory evidences. i want to understand howo come two guards supposedly fell asleep in fabricated documents. this is a really strange case and the attorney general's right to say there were irregularities here, not to mention the way the psychiatric part of this was handled, which is an utter disgrace. >> tucker: very quickly, is there a good reason why we still don't have that information? >> there isn't a good reason, we should have it now. the cause of death is a final stamp, but we need to have this now. it should be released. it was supposedly waiting on the toxicology report, but then don't give a final cause of death. we need this information releasedl now. it needs to be looked at by everybody so we can draw our own conclusions on this. again, this type of situation, and i'm sure the judge is going to say more about this, is more consistent with a strangling. unwilling to accept it as a

hanging, but i want to know more of the evidence. >> tucker: yes, more consistent with the strangling. much moree consistent. remarkable. another revelation in the epstein case earlier today, two days beforeot his death, whatevd its cause, epstein signed his name to a new will. jeanine pirro every saturday night right here on fox. author of the brand-new book, "radicals, resistance, and revenge," and we are proud to have her on our show tonight. on.ks a lot for coming you've been involved personally in cases where there's a dispute over whether it was a murder or a suicide. given your background, what you make of this? >> first of all, i think with the medical examiner shouldro he done is she should have listed the manner of death. i understand there are two cove differences, what actually caused the death, some credit asphyxiation, but the manner of death can be a homicide, suicide, or pending, undetermined. so she -- there are four investigations going on right

now. her rush to judgment and to rudecide that this was a suicide makes no sense. we don't know why the cameras weren't working, why everybody was asleep.ot why they like. the fbi, the doj, inspector general, everybody is doing an investigation. and we arej, capable of being oe of two ways. you've got toon give me the additional thoughts that cause me to believe it's one way versus another. by the way, tucker, i have tried cases that were listed as suicides and i've gotten a homicide conviction. so they weren't suicides, they were intentionalwe murders. and secondly, the breaking of a hyoid bone, and i've tried strange elation cases, that's classic in a strangulation, not in a hanging. so there was a rush it. i don't know if it's to shutng t down, but it makes no sense to me as a prosecutor. >> tucker: have you seen, finally, cases in your life where the medical examiner was

influenced by political concerns orth pressure? >> absolutely. look, everybody is human. everybody can be influenced. there are very few people. look at washington. look at our government. we are finding out things we don't want to know, tucker. so the same thing happens in the criminal justice system, but here's the saving grace. when we get all the facts, we can decide whatce happened. people say he tried to kill t himself, he definitely committed suicide. he said that nicholas, the cop in the cell originally, when they say try to kill himself,lf beat the hill out of them. i know that probably is true because i knew nicholas. he was a cop when i was was a . in westchester. would it be like him to slap this guy around? without a doubt. that's number one. and number two, the fact that he was very upbeat with his attorneys, said i'll see you sunday. all these facts need to be

looked into to decide whether or not it is a homicide versus a suicide. and to just one, two, three before the toxicology is even back, makes no sense to me as a litigator who has tried homicids cases. >> tucker: very quickly, why are there so many people who are insistent that you be quiet and just accept the official version of things, stop asking questions, stop being a conspiracy not and just believe. why are people insisting on that? >> i don't really care what people say. iy did this for 30 years. i was a judge and i ran an office of 40,000 cases a year for 12 years. i want to ever00 homicide. i oversaw every one of them, and i have seen medical examiners say it's a suicide. i looked at the autopsy picture. the woman has tweaked her eyebrows. her manicure is perfect. she's wrapping presents. it's not a suicide, she wasn't

depressed, her husband killed her and i proved it. >> tucker: the best, judge jeanine. great to see you tonight. thank you. california's homelessness is so out of control that functioning businesses are being forced to leave the state. someone in that, that's next. ♪

♪ >> tucker: in recent months, dozens of republicans and a handful>> of democrats pushing r the passage of something called the "born alive survivors protection act." the bill would make it specific that babies who survive botched abortions are entitled to medicare to keep them alive. democrats in both the house and senate have have stopped those bills from becoming law or even receiving about.

democrat tina smith said the bill was notot acceptable becaue it would provide "inappropriate medical treatment" and interfere with "important medical decisions." more prudent democrat tested simply a waste of time. here's some data that might change your mind. it turns out there have been quite a few babies born alive and allowed to die after abortions. data from 50 states say at least 40 have been born alive following botched abortions just in the last year. this figure is not sensationalistic. it's not made up, it's not from activists, it's straight from state health data. when a minnesota for example. since 2011, 11 babies have been born alive and induced abortions. in arizona at least ten have been born alive. in florida there for 19 cases of babies born alive in abortions. in most instances the child died within 24 hours. it's just three states.

most u.s. states don't even require the collection of data on botched abortions. it's almost certain as there are dozens or even hundreds of other cases happening in the rest of the country. we don't know that, but it seems obvious. if that's true, that would make botched abortions t more common than mass shootings. in the same society, this would be a national scandal. america is allowing a late term abortions but some of the victims are inconveniently surviving. you would think we would at least want to know how often this happens and do ourur best o ensure the survivors are kept alive, butap no. currently that is not the case at all. medical care for the most vulnerable is "inappropriate and unacceptable." worth knowing. homelessness is becoming a blight for the entire state of california. used to be confined to just a couple of cities. san francisco most notably. now it's spread across the entire state. in a city of los angeles for example, thousands of people built cities that covered entire neighborhoods. even secondary cities like sacramento are not being spared

and now ordinary citizens are price.are an appearance on fox news on monday, a business owner called elizabeth novak described how she had to move her business because the homeless presence hnearby became so pervasive she couldn't stay there. watch this. >> i just want to tell you what happens when i get to work. after cleanup the poop and the pee for my doorstep. i have to clean up assortment so mike some interest. to push away the people you won't arrest for drug offenses. after apologize to my clients. so i want to know what you're going to do for us, the ones that arent unhappy. you want to a make us a sanctuay state. want to make it comfortable for everybody except for the people who work hard and try their hardest to get along in life and now we have to change that because of your lives. while you sit in our million-dollarnd home i didn't have to look at what we have to look a at. they are hardworking people that have to deal with this on a daily basis. >> tucker: so homelessness is out of control. lawmakers are doing nothing and it's just ruining the lives of

ordinary californians. that's what you just heard, d bt it's not the first time we've heard it. watch. >> these are pictures of what's going on right around our neighborhood. >> tucker: so we are seeing -- and some of these pictures are almost too disgusting to put on the screen but we have aso numbr of them are rvs. >> yes. >> tucker: people are living in those full-time? >> yes. people are living in them full-time. you will notice there is raw sewage that is coming out. it's more than an environmental crisis. if the health crisis down in this area. >> tucker: leading a recall effort against the mayor of los angeles, eric, over the homelessness crisis there, which is bad and getting worse, and she joins us againcr tonight. thanks a lot for coming back on the show. >> good to be with you. >> tucker: since you began the

effort, to get this issue the attention it deserves, have things gotten any better? >> thanks to you into the media we've been able to scare $130 million out of the state government and the local government, and we've also been able to free up a thousand units for the disabled homeless units, but it's really the blind leading the blind in our local government where they think they can just warehouse homeless people on the streets ofov los angeles and in other cities in california. this is completely unacceptable and the optics of it are not even half of the story. we are talking about diseases in our streets because of biosolidt of human waste, turning into particulate dust making all of our citizens ill. this is more than a public health crisis.ha this is a state of emergency and the governor in the state of california needs to get off his rocking chair and declare a state of emergency in the state of california over this crisis. this is a serious crisis.

we need federal intervention. we need fema to come in and do a damage assessment. this cannot continue. take the tents away. got bodies laying all over the street. what the optics man? take the tents away. just think about that for a second grade >> tucker: -- >> what are we supposed to do with these politiciansha you mit they keep going on this merry-go-round with money. we've got the complete bait and switch. they run out of money and they've been filled -- they promised wraparound services. the measure was a bait and a switch. by law they couldn't do the wraparound services. they know it. he said he ran on it and he got reelected on it. shame on you, eric. shame on you! >> tucker:n has he responded to you might >> he actually responded to his official recall notice one day late. we, today, right now, do not

have an original signed response, but if the city clerk's desk to recall him to add his response, which accuses us of fraud and of being misleading. if they are trying to compel us to add that to the bottom of our petition or else we won't get circulated. this is outrageous. e this is complete corruption. complete corruption! its government corruption. >> tucker: do you expect the white house, the trump administration to get involved in this? >> i pray every single day that the president of the united states gets involved in this. he should use his powers under the supremacy clause and please, mr. president, we are asking you, please federally intervene. they are trying use the people who are living and dying in agony on the streets of los angeles as a political football. we do not appreciate that in this city of los angeles. our citizens are priority

instant the city and you got elected to take care of ourr citizens. you do not have a city without citizens, so we demand that you put them first or we call on the federal government to intervene and correct the situation before we have rain -- affecting the ocean life in theto wintertime. this cannot continue. at the mayor said he doesn't want to do anything for the next 30 days, the next 60 days. they want to sell $13 billion more in bond money. they're trying to peddle -- it's just complete and total corruption. and we don't want this anymore. we want all hands on deck and we want to correct it. thank you. >> tucker: on your side. good to see you. elizabeth warren is rising in the polls. you may have noticed, she still has to bury the hatchet with one community though, american indians. she stole their identity for years in order to gain the affirmative actions in the system. mark steyn watched all of that happened and is here tonight.

♪ >> tucker: pocahontas would like to apologize for phony american indian heritage to advance her academic career, scamming affirmative action which is a scam. she was so committed that she released a dna test with a tiny sliver of dna she claimed made her a native. she thought the rest of us would buy it. and now, she is finally accepting what was obvious from day one.e. she is roughly about asgh american indian as the prince of whales. may be slightly less, actually. recently in sioux city, she apologized for her past behavior. watch this. >> i want to say that. anyone who is being honest with themselves, i know that i have made mistakes. i am sorry for harm i have caused. >> tucker: mark steyn is an author and columnist and of course if you were watching the

show last week, you saw him doing an amazing job for four days, hosting it. we are glad to have him back. mark steyn, thanks for doing that, by the way.or >> no, no, tucker, i'm about as convincing a host for you as elizabeth warren is a cherokee. i am about 11,024th. >> tucker: one of my producers aside, you go to cohost is not as good as you, that is what people do. you have one who is actually but it is good. thank you for doing that. what did you think of elizabeth warren's apology? what is she saying in that apology, exactly? >> you described it as burying the hatchet. i think actually, the indian community are in a certain sense leveraging that, the hatchet. she is at risk here because this is actually quite a widespread crime. a month or so back, the "los angeles times" ran a story on how hundreds of millions

of dollars in government contracts supposedly reserved for minorities have been handed out to 100% white people pretending to be cherokee, which is exactly what elizabeth warren did. harvard law school w represented her as their first woman of color, which is ridiculous.wo but nobody laughed, as i always say, she's the whitest white since frosty the snowman fell in a bout of white out. you get wider. she -- >> tucker: cory booker level. >> exactly. here's the thing. i think trump did her a great service by making her a laughingstock on this issue. because he's eliminated any possibility of her running on a personal story. her personal story is alive. she can't run on that. she can't run on identity politics the way even kirsten gillibrand is doing with her white woman of privilege thing because the identity

politics, she can't run on denouncing the president of the white supremacist because it does not get more supremely s white then to pass yourself off as harvard law school's first woman of color when you are not. imagine that actually with just boring, wonky politics. she -- as long as the policies are, she's actually the only person out there just saying, well, i o can't run on who i ami can't run on what i am, i can't run on what a racist to the president is so instead, i've got this policy platform and it seems to be working for her. >> tucker: that's a fascinating analysis, and i agree with that 100%. if she sticks to that, she'll probably do pretty well.p i'm not sure america well but she will. mark steyn, great to see you, thanks again for coming last week. >> great to have you back, tucker. thanks a lot. >> tucker: thank you. that's it for us tonight. and i were gone by. tune in tomorrow night, 8:00 p.m. they show that it is the sworn

enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. have a great evening. guess who's next! will give you three guesses but you know the answer. sean hannity. live from new york city. >> sean: first of all, mark steyn could not hit the post if his life depended on it. it's like, 15 seconds over -- >> tucker: [laughs] i don't even know what that means. >> sean: it took me a year to get you to hit the post and you are great at it now.et here's the other thing. i know tucker's vacation was planned because i was going to take off last week, and they said, no, tucker and laura have those weeks, you are dead. it's a planned vacation. i can confirm. i was denied time off. >> tucker: the internet is so stupid. >> sean: i'm a loser, i never don't show up. i can't help it.t. i live, breathe, sleep this. great to have you back from a great show, hope you had a great vacation.. we have a break breaking news,
