5:00 pm
future. he's like getting about the interest in greenland. that is the story on tuesday, august 2019. as always, the story goes on. we will see you back here tomorrow night, stick around. tucker carlson, coming up next. good night, everybody. ♪ >> tucker: good evening, welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." it would be funny to do a pulse on time and asked people who live in washington, d.c., have you ever met joe biden personally? question mike i bet a strikingly large percentage would say yes. he has been in washington for it forever. how long? here some perspective. joe biden first ran for president more than 30 years ago. didn't go well, to put it mildly. at the time, biden was caught stealing details from another man's biography, neil connect. of course, he dropped out in a humiliating scandal. people who knew him always thought he would try again for the presidency and of course, he is. this year seems a pretty strange time to do it. it's hard to imagine a candidate more out of step with the moment
5:01 pm
he's running. biden is and pale and his party worships youth and diversity. he has spent decades representing as a moderate at a time when is marty party is moving hard to the left. as of right now though, biden is still the front runner for the democratic nomination but is not a comfortable fit. so what exactly is joe biden running on? well you guessed, ideas, have another theory, you've mostly had a few beers already. if you think that, no, biden is not running it on ideas, insight, he is running on electability. the notion that only he, only joe biden, can be donald trump. we will let biden's new campaign at explain. watch. >> we know in our bones of this election is different. the stakes are higher. the threat is more serious. we have to be donald trump and all the poles agree, joe biden t democrat to do the job. to restore the soul of the nation battered by an erotic vicious, bullying president
5:02 pm
birds dog strong, steady, stable related leadership. >> got that? strong, steady, stable. now it's doddering, flaky, weird. no. strong, steady, stable. that's joe biden self-description. he is most experienced candidate in the race. in fact, he's the only vice president in american history who served more than two full terms in office beer that's how he met the survivors of the park when shooting at the white house just last year. last year. the rest of us assumed advice mike prince was the vice president but no. watch. >> i watch what happened when those kids in parkland went up to see me and some of you covered it. >> tucker: a go. pretty impressive. you thought that penance was the vp? now. biden was still the vice president and none of us know of it. it turns out there are a lot of things you do know about him. for example, biden's conventional but biography, the when he can find on wikipedia claims he went from a private high school to college and then.
5:03 pm
he graduated-76 in the class of 85 students bid that the biden we thought we knew. what we didn't know is that while becoming an attorney, biden was also working deep underground. literally underground as a coal miner. streaked face and head lamp include a pair that's what he's caught sometimes all these years later, mining just takes it out of the man. >> it you may be against me but i am a hard coalminer. anthracite school, current scranton, pennsylvania, pair that's where i was born and raised. and it's nice to be back in coal country. >> tucker: you have. a coal miner. it's true. you should also know that biden was also at various times of firemen, hard-boiled homicide detector, a gold miner in the uconn, and a wise old indian chief who slayed many of their in his day. not your average politician, for sure. needless to say, biden was also a war hero. of course he was. don in his generations war.
5:04 pm
no. as the oldest oldest american soldier/u.s. senator serving in, braving limitless enemy fired to bring democracy to that nation appeared watch. >> number one, you take all the troops out, you better have helicopters ready to take those 3,000 civilians inside the green zone where i have been seven times and shot at. >> tucker: yeah, he's been shot out. others we should tell you remember that moment differently pair they claim biden was simply staying at a hotel in iraq when a more exploded hundred yards away. it didn't even delay the breakfast buffet but whatever appeared to biden, it was another death-defying moment in a long life at the world's most interesting monitor. listen to the time he nearly got killed by the travel ban. >> if you want to know where al qaeda lives, you want to know where bin laden is, come back to afghanistan with me. come back to the area where my helicopter was forced down and
5:05 pm
the three-star general and three united states senators had 10,000 feet in the middle of those mountains. i can tell you where they are. >> tucker: i once again, we must try to, there was some dispute about what actually happened other possibly more factually really are a reliable claim that biden's helicopter landed because of a snowstorm, not because usama bin laden was personally trying to murder biden. but don't tell senator biden that. nor should you tell him that nobody can remember seeing him at all those civil rights fittings and demonstrations he claimed to have lead in the 1960s. he and martin luther king, leaders of the movement, that was his story could he's got a million stories like that and he's the hero of every skill one of them. take a seat and he will tell yo you. as you listen, this man, this former coal mine all it in several weights leader is the single sanest person running for president as a democrat for president to meditate on that for the minute. i want alana goodman has. she's a clinical reporter at the "washington examiner" pachuta
5:06 pm
wrote a fantastic new piece on biden's many biographical claims, some of which seem to be categorically false. she joins us tonight for thanks for coming on. so, he was a coal miner. >> he was a coalminer, he was shot at coming out as a helicopter forced down and he discovered where obama usama bin laden's house was. so amazing stories. actually, i had written a list of six of these different biographical details that biden had embellished and we had to cut that down from a lot more obviously. >> tucker: as you point out, the reason he got out in the 1988 race was because he put on and in effect to be a welsh minor, neil connect. there is something about to biden that leads him to lie about his biography but a point that you made that i think is worth focusing on is, he pretended or is claimed to be a leader of the civil rights movement. >> yes, i think i could actually
5:07 pm
be the biggest problem for him out of all of these because this gets into an issue of appropriation and you are talking about -- he claims specifically that he was involved in the sit ins along route 40 at segregated restaurants. and the people who were involved, these are very serious activists, these were, this grew out of the freedom riders movement had these were well-trained individuals who joined these citizens sit ins and he was going to produce income a lot of them to go to prison, they put in some cases their lives at risk, these three young men in mississippi were civil rights activists who were killed around the same time. they were registering black voters. and, so, you have biden making these claims, he is taking credit for this without taking any of the risks. >> tucker: are those claims true? was biden a leader at these sit ins? is there any evidence of that?
5:08 pm
>> there is no evidence of that. i've spoken to local activists who were involved in this who did spend time in jail for participating in the sit ins and they have no recollection of joe biden ever being involved. i also spoke to as a historian who studied the freedom motor movement and wrote a book on this and he said, you know, biden would have been very unusual because he would have been a lot younger than these activists and he hadn't heard anything about him being involved in this. biden himself also when he dropped out of the race in 1987 because of the plagiarism scandal, he said that he was not an activist. he said the extent of his civil rights participation was that he worked at an all black swimming pool for a summer when he was in college and so, you know, you have him himself saying this didn't occur after the fact. >> tucker: but he is on the record saying that he was a participant in these protests. >> yes. but he was a participant and
5:09 pm
they sit ins. and in one case he said he organized a boycott of a restaurant in delaware called the pits. because they didn't -- refuse to serve a black student who was a member of biden's football team. at that student later in an interview in 1997 said that he -- this had never happened. that he hadn't even told biden about this at the time when he was told to leave the restaurant so biden didn't find out about it until after the fact. >> tucker: remarkable. it shows what can happen if you are one of the only reporters from washington was actually interested in facts as you are and we are grateful that you are. thank you for that. alana goodman, thank you. joe biden might not always be inspiring, charming though he can be but his wife jill says americans have to vote for him anyway. that's her message. you don't like them? vote for him anyway per lisa boothe is a senior fellow and women's voice and she joins us tonight to assess this. lisa, are we overstating this
5:10 pm
quick to say that joe biden's wife is basically telling voters, i don't care if you like him in, i don't care if you agree, vote for him anyway? >> i wouldn't say it was a strong endorsement but i will let you and also the viewers at home take a listen for yourself. listen to this. >> your candidate might be more federal on how carolyn joe is but you've got to look at him winning selection and maybe you have to swallow it a little bit and say, okay, i -- but, at the bottom line has to be that you have two beat trump. >> yeah, so i wouldn't exactly call this giving democratic primary voters the hard sell. i mean, she's essentially saying look, you may hate my husband's policy, you might not even like him, below, we've got a beat trump. and that's really been the argument of the biden campaign. we sought in the first ad that he he is running now in iowa as well as what joe biden just said there. look, he's the most electable
5:11 pm
candidate but that argument is like basing your candidacy on quicksand because his lead right now certainly is not insurmountable. if you look at the head-to-head standards, standard is not that far behind him in the matchup against president trump and if you look at the person, the first to contest a new hampshire and iowa, his lead is not that big. in new hampshire, he's within the margin of error. spew an interesting its own other words, if you build your entire campaign on the idea that you are going to win, the second it becomes doubtful that you are going to win, everything collapsed. >> exactly. i know you've got richard good seed coming out, he made his point is well earlier on a number today when we were on together. he was talking about it. even if you look at the ascension of elizabeth warren right now in the polls as well. this is not a strong argument for biden's team to be making and it really -- his arguments seem to be twofold about his candidacy. if one, i was vice president to obama and his dad talks about obama enjoying the correlation and then to come i am most talked about it we talked about
5:12 pm
yesterday about that first comment about obama. president obama ran a report he tried to encourage him not to run in 2020 an end certainly encouraged him not to run in 2016 so i don't necessarily know if that's the strongest argument to be making either. >> tucker: a little weird for a man running on the obama legacy not to get obama's endorsement. >> right. and he's not indoors. he said is not going to endorse. and also come i think joe biden's argument sounds a little bit of like what we'd heard in 2016 as well. listen to what oprah had to say. >> what you don't have to like her. if you don't have to like her. do you like this country? do you like this country? you better get out there. >> we know that hurley clinton failed to bring home states like wisconsin, pennsylvania, ohio, so i do think you want to mechanic primary voters to like the candidate. i think you want them to be fired up, you want them to turn out for your candidate. you want to get that base fired
5:13 pm
up, you want him to be passionate about your candidate and that really seems to be lacking with joe biden so he might be up to now, certainly not insurmountable, and i would not be surprised if someone else passes them by here in the next couple of months and certainly the next few weeks. >> tucker: but you never know. as a former coal miner, who come under fire in his many more zones as he has come he's a tough man. >> he's had a lot of jobs, tech appeared very interesting life. i made of mystery. he can sell beer. it still needs, great is you. thank you. it democratic national committee as it turns out as having a hard time keeping up with fund-raising here in the united states. they are going to a country that is far more welcoming. mexico. democratic national committee chairman tom perez is holding three fund-raisers in mexico city. also proving a sense of humor, proving their legal residence since before they are allowed into the fund-raisers. sounds racist but we are going to check with joining us
5:14 pm
tonight, by the way, just got married. i saw the pictures and you are a lucky man. >> thank you, thank you, i am. no question. >> tucker: this does seem a little dehumanizing and racist that you go to mexico and suddenly make people show photo i.d. before they can come to your party? why is that not bigotry? i'm serious. >> you know it has nothing to do with race. it has to do with the law and the united states which is that you can only be a contributor to a presidential campaign if you are a united states citizen. that is not a very hard to ask and it's not very much to prove. it has nothing to do with one's race. >> tucker: hold on her way. don't stop at everything that has to do with my skull has to do with race creed that's what we've been hearing for the past three years. so anytime you ask anybody in mexico for a photo i.d., that is an act of racial aggression. i mean, i've been playing close attention bit i know what the rules are. you guys wrote the rules.
5:15 pm
you know what they are to end all of a sudden, here's tom perez saying hey, mexicans, prove you are american. >> this would be true for every republican event abroad as well. he would have to prove your citizenship. it isn't racist to ask somebody in france or the u.k. or germany, where, again, other parties are raising money to prove their american citizenship. >> tucker: what you told me it was racist to ask people in this country to ask for their i.d. before they vote. >> it has nothing to do with voting here there are laws about contribute into a presidential campaign. this is nothing to be trifled with and frankly people have been got in trouble for violating them. >> tucker: let me ask you the bigger question of which is where i really should've started. raising money in mexico. because americans in the united states, after listening to democrats attacked their country and their history for the past year, aren't enthusiastic or should they go to mexico to raise money? on things wrong. >> they are going where there are democrats who are american citizens who are willing to contribute.
5:16 pm
it's action out of a long trip. if you go up to mexico city, relative to go say from young to l.a., so it's really not asking too much or much of a hardship on tom perez and the state has obviously identified would be contributor's. great pair they will come away with enough money to justify the trip. what's wrong with that? >> tucker: what, democrats have basically decided that the enemy is not simply trumpet it's our country. it's united states. it like a listen to what they say. every speech they give. it's a horror show. america is a horrible place. >> no democrat describes the united states as carnage or a which is exactly what donald trump -- he use those words. citing one democrat who was running for democrat he was chairman analogy like that, you can't. so please, spare me -- >> tucker: the country itself is so immoral that we owe a financial debt. they have come out for reparation spirit what does that say? that american citizens are so
5:17 pm
immoral that they owe money, they owe a blood death of money? to expiate the sins of the country? i mean, their campaigns are based on this. >> one thing you forgot to mention is that in the fox news poll, joe biden is beating donald trump 50-38. that that's crazy. think about that for psych. he's got 38% against joe biden, donald trump. this isn't about reparations, it's going be reparation today, caravans tomorrow, the squad today after, it's always good to be something and somebody of color and some issue that you're going to try to rile up the base. it's not working. >> tucker: i would happy to never talk about reparations. i think it's an insane idea. the democrats are the one who brought it up, not me. >> actually think you are hearing in -- as you are hearing about aoc on is not market then you are the others. >> tucker: at richard, thank you for that. we've got a fox news alert for you.
5:18 pm
president has canceled a scheduled meeting with prime minister of denmark. it's been on his calendar for a while clear the reason is greenland. the prime minister recently dismissed the idea of selling greenland united states pretty called a comical, absurd. so just minutes ago, the president read this conical, open mic denmark is a special country with invertible people but based on prep and prime minister's comments that she wouldn't know interest in discussing the purchase of greenland, i will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time." the prime minister was able to save a great deal of expense and effort for the both the u.s. and denmark by being so direct. i think for her that and look forward to rescheduling some time and. " by the way, a deal between the u.s. and denmark for new territory would not be totally unprecedented. in 1917 come the united states purchase the u.s. virgin islands from denmark. we will continue to follow the story. coming out, the entire state of california claims the rights would undermined america's immigration laws print so would
5:19 pm

5:21 pm
5:22 pm
5:23 pm
>> tucker: just when you thought the jeffrey epstein deal couldn't get we do, reality proves us wrong once again. forget the questions about how epstein died. now it turns out you can't trust pictures of one of his associates and eating a hamburger. a bizarre story brought to us tonight by our chief breaking news correspondent, trace gallagher. hey, trace. >> just like everything out it's in the jeffrey epstein saga, new pictures of his former girlfriend now coming under new scrutiny. the picks reportedly snapped
5:24 pm
last week by a customer appear to show maxwell sitting at an in-n-out burger in southern california reading a book about cia assassination. she is supposed to be alone but they are ordered two drinks on the table. and two cell phones. she supposed to be reading but isn't wearing her glasses and an advertising agency contacted by the daily mail says the good boys movie ad that appears on a bus stop bench in the background must have been photoshopped because the ad on the bench isn't for good boys. it's for a hospital and it's been there a month. there are also questions about how long maxwell was at the burger joint because three separate pictures all have different customers in the background. there is not speculation the photos might have been staged to throw the feds off maxwell's trail beard meet wyant, another victim filed against epstein's estate. priscilla claimed when she was 20, she was recruited as a private masseuse for epstein and forced into having with him and another woman.
5:25 pm
she also claims dealing maxwell gave a step-by-step tutorial, including a demonstration on how to sexually please jeffrey epstein. the same woman says she was also forced to give epstein's powerful friends massages though she did not name names. and finally, epstein's will shows that his 65-year-old brother mark epstein appears to be the sole heir to the sex offenders $577 million fortune. tucker? >> tucker: trace gallagher with the latest on that. thank you. well come in state of california has the country's most draconian gun laws but california refuses to recognize guns from its issued in other states. do you need a background check in the state of health ranges to buy ammunition, shotgun shells, for example we are now one of its cities is pushing back. needles california would like to declare itself a sanctuary from some of the states gun restrictions. california is proud of course of being a sanctuary for illegal aliens, foreign nationals were
5:26 pm
in this country, and breaking the law and being here. so how do they feel about their own citizens standing up for the constitution? well, jeff williams is finding out the answer. he is the mayor of needle california and he joins us tonight. thanks very much for coming on. so, tell us what you would like to do in needles. was it mean to be a sanctuary city from these gun laws? >> well, we are attempting to get california to recognize other states concealed weapons permit holder so they could come in and out of the states, especially our town, right on the border of alabama and arizona, for comoros to have them come over and utilize our restaurant and the second thing we would like california to do is to fix this drop 60 through the pass would you just mentioned about having to register and stay in california to buy ammunition. i have to drive 280 miles round-trip to bar a store, 200 miles to blaze, to buy ammunition to go quail hunting
5:27 pm
or for defense or just to go out and target sheet when i have 12 gun shops within 15 miles of me into arizona. >> tucker: that's crazy. obviously. so you are proposing that residents of your city do the obvious and just exercise their constitutional right? if you do that, what will the state do in response, do you believe? >> well, we have our assemblymen riding the legislation and we will see if we can get it passed. we have other border cities joining us in his efforts so hopefully we can get more assemblymen, senators and such, to help us, but that's what we are looking to do. and we will see what happens. it might have to be taking into the courts as usual with california but we are ready. >> tucker: other cities in kells when you haven't waited for to ignore federal law and federal immigration law here they have just decided that they are morally right and that everyone else is a racist and they are just going to do it. it is not a model for you?
5:28 pm
>> yeah, that's what we think with the second amendment. we should be able to do it, however, we are a contract city with san bernardino city sheriff's department. i respect the department. they are good people and a sheriff's a good friend of mine. so, i'm not going to do anything to mess with that situation. we are going to trying to do it the right way with legislation and then we will have to go to the courts, we will go to the courts of we have two. >> tucker: any law that punishes people who want to go quail shooting or target shooting and project their own homes against criminals, how does that make it a safer states, like that? >> it doesn't get obsolete as doesn't lot of california's gun laws don't make it safer. it you've seen that all over the country. the gun laws aren't helping. it is a mental health issue and that's what they need to fix. >> tucker: thank you for stating the obvious so clearly we had the good, mr. mann. well, the millennials seem young
5:29 pm
but they are not the youngest. that there is a newly generation, even younger, and they are now old enough to vote. do they know what they are voting for? do they know the difference between capitalism and socialism? what do they know? we have new polling on the subject paired of course, it's going to wreck your night but stay tuned for it anyway. ♪ other company out there. they give us excellent customer service, every time. our 18 year old was in an accident. usaa took care of her car rental, and getting her car towed. all i had to take care of was making sure that my daughter was ok. if i met another veteran, and they were with another insurance company, i would tell them, you need to join usaa because they have better rates, and better service. we're the gomez family... we're the rivera family... we're the kirby family, and we are usaa members for life. get your auto insurance quote today.

5:31 pm
5:32 pm
5:33 pm
>> tucker: well, if you are aging, like me, you think of millennials is really, really young. the relatively speaking, they are not here they are no longer the youngest generation in the politics. in 2020, millions of americans in the next generation whose demographers are some reason calling generation z, will be a voting age, presumably some will vote. the question is, are they prepared to shoulder the burden of democracy which requires information? a new poll is not encouraging. young americans for freedom
5:34 pm
foundation found that american teenagers and young adults feel very little and know very little bill about the economic system. 20% canty what socialism is. 10% think it means free stuff. they may not understand socialism but they are ready to embrace it. a majority of generation z say america is headed in the wrong direction right now. spencer brown is a spokesman for the youngest america for freedom. he joins us to make a thank you for coming on. so what is this fine question like this survey? >> it's interesting as you can see this impact that sort of this mainstream support and how it's affecting this generation z, the next generation coming out, but they are not necessarily being convinced by because we see young people still loving the things that make america a great country. things like free enterprise, small business, entrepreneurship yet they still say they support socialism so clearly there is this disconnect and what socialism it actually is and what they like. >> tucker: they also like apple and google, right? so they seem to have a high
5:35 pm
opinion of their tech overlords led to their socialist at the same time question my kind of that work? >> we we are seeing here is a side effect of the problems with education today? so they get these buzz words, you know, if you look at the polling numbers, they vastly disapprove of capitalism and then they like socialism but if you look at the pennants and tenants of cap wasn't, they like those institutions and the situo again, it's just this disconnect where through social media and , young people are buying into this word, socialism, without knowing what it means. >> tucker: is also pretty poor, a lot of them. i mean, that's generation. the older you are, this is the reverse of what used to be, the richer you are likely to be. do you think that plays a role in their attitudes? >> i think part of it, there's a lot of opportunity right now but i don't know if they know how to take grasp of that. so if you look at unemployment for young people, it's finally down again, they are able to get jobs, but i don't think they realize that's a result of the
5:36 pm
free market and the g regulatory agenda that the president is pursuing and so instead of pursuing freedom, they instead choose socialism again. >> tucker: really quick, tell me what they think. >> it was interesting. we allow them to provide open answers and so they preferred freestyle, thought that it it was stuff for you to get things that are free so they are confusing socialism with freedom so it goes to show the young people are not getting an education, they are getting and indoctrination. >> tucker: yeah, an expensive one for sure. thanks for that update, spencer. and samuel is a former clerk of the supreme court, he wants to confirms that socialism will win. we thought it would be fun if invite him back and ask them how that's going paid income at inc. for joining us tonight. the people asked in this survey, generation z, didn't seem to have a very precise view on what socialism is and i posted a question that i just put to spencer. how can you be for socialism and
5:37 pm
also in favor of google and apple and facebook? >> well, look. i think that this insistence on a nerd it like a definition of terms like, what a socialism, what are the tenets of socialism question mike that is a very hypereducated thing. the reasons that these young people are embracing socialism is because they understand intuitively that it is that the difference between what they have now and what the alternative and they understand now, the menu, the capitalist menu, is disgusting. they hate it. there are certain things that they like about it. i like iphones, the farmers' market, but they don't like going in to debt to go to college, they don't like $3,000 a month child care bills if they ever want to have a kid. they understand that the alternative is something called socialism. they are for it. and i think that's actually a common sense way that normal people reason about the world who haven't been to college which overall is most people. i'm fine with that. ski one half of your argument is
5:38 pm
right here socialism is a disaster, it's never worked outside of scandinavia so that's obviously a bad idea but it's our current system is not working for young people you are right about that. i don't think there's any candidate even though we never say it. but answer me this. you are for socialism, i should just say. how is the socialism defining to work with open borders? how can we offer for example free health care to anyone who shows up here legally or illegally? >> i think -- there's a very good reason that -- almost always the move whenever you propose that the people who do the work should own the means of production, means of production being these radical things that only hotheads like me will say. whenever you propose this, almost always the answer is not that's not a bad idea but there is kind of a well, what about this, what about that? what if some of the workers who own the means for production, google, amazon, apple, alongside you, were guys who owns for us.
5:39 pm
which my response is, what's so bad about that? the alternative is this. but you are >> tucker: you are saying that people who create wealth ought to get a piece of the wealth. they are not saying that. they are saying that people will have no role at all in building this country no role at all in building that wealth should show up here tomorrow from oaxaca illegally and should get the bounty. that's not socialism, that's insanity. and it doesn't work, actually. it's a math question. all of us are going to be shafted if we try to do that. were not just say that because it's true? >> law, two things, if that's not socialism, we don't have a problem. but i grew up in southern colorado and i grew up traveling around lots of cities that were actually built by plenty of people who today would trace their ancestors into mexico in places like this and the most important thing is not who built
5:40 pm
yesterday but who is building the stuff we have right now? the workers who are creating all of the wealth that we have, i don't really care if you speak spanish, english, french, all of these things. >> tucker: hold on. you are mischaracterizing both what i said on the democratic candidates are saying good it's not a question of where your ancestors are from but that's irrelevant, i would agree. what matters is, are you an american? are you a citizen or not? they are saying if you do show up tomorrow, you have as much acclaim on our bungee as someone who works to create that bounty. how can you be for that? that's not -- well, i guess i'm not so confused because the people who are showing up like my ancestors showed up and they were pretty poor when they showed up, what they wanted to do was work to create the bounty. so my answer is, great, brother, let's do it. and when you do, we work alongside me, that we are going to own that suck. i'm not bothered by that. >> tucker: okay, that was the
5:41 pm
old america. the america that joe biden is promising is not an america where we join in the work, it's an america where everyone who shows up is given free stuff that we created without anything in return. do you still -- are you so for the question marks to go there's one thing i do agree with you about which is there's a vision about the way the future could work. that is, there is going to be a sort of class of elites what i would sort of call it elon musk type dudes who are going to create stuff and then the question is, how are we going to divide the stuff that they create? under those circumstances, i agree, the answers get pretty grim pretty fast. but i don't believe in that. i don't have a joe biden vision of america. what i believe is, you know, look, you want to build cars with the question mike let's build them together. so them together. that's fine with me. >> tucker: that's a slightly different argument and i think we will have future things to unpack. in the meantime, income and thank you for that.

>> last summer employees of microsoft signed a petition that their company refuse any contracts with i.c.e. for the company caved to that demand almost immediately. a microsoft ceo sent out a company-wide email denying and seeing this country's immigration policies and announcing that microsoft would refuse any contract, quote,

related to separating children from their families at the border. now, that might give you the impression that microsoft is morally opposed to imprisoning people. but that is definitely not the case. in fact, microsoft is entirely fine with throwing innocent people behind bars, just as long as its fastest regimes doing the imprisoning and of course, as long as it microsoft can make a buck by participating in a period of microsoft has invested or partnering with at least three chinese companies that developed ai and facial recognition technologies that are used by china's military and secret police. microsoft was an early investor, for instance, in deep glints. as a company that helps the chinese government identify and imprison weaker muslim. the hundreds of thousands of whom have been sent with it microsoft help indirectly to rot in concentration camps. that something they can to look at about here then in 2017, microsoft partnered with yup to technologies. another company that supplies facial recognition software to the chinese fascists which the
5:48 pm
government has used to crush the uighurs. if you think that's creepy and disgusting, how about this. microsoft has also partnered with the chinese start up called high data. high data produces lipreading technology. the company boast that their software is 80% successful at english language of language lipreading. think about that. it's good news for china's brutal police states which is using this technology to further oppress its own population. thanks, microsoft. additionally, microsoft researchers have worked with the chinese military on artificial intelligence research that could eat be used for surveillance and censorship. this was published in 2018 after it was known that chinese is facial recognition to imprisoning leader muslims. one of the paper as described in aai method for analyzing human faces. it's all very interesting coming from the same company that refused to work with an american police department requested facial recognition and body cameras. it microsoft called that a human rights concern. but only when it happened in
5:49 pm
america. so we asked microsoft for comment on all of this. it'll be interesting to know the ethics behind these decisions. microsoft refuses to help our country protect its own borders and yet they are denying to help the chinese government commit some of the worst human rights abuses in the world. and get rich doing it. what's the thinking here exactly question might well, microsoft gave us a statement on all of this but didn't answer any of those questions. we are not surprised. it was just a few years ago that utah senator mike lee was a persistent critic of google. in 2011, lee grilled then ceo eric schmidt, a congressional antitrust hearing for joining the sentence. he pushed for a law that would have banned google's largest force of revenue. that would be keyword based advertising. he also egged on antitrust investigations of big tech and then accused the ftc, the federal trade commission, of going too easy on powerful companies and good for him. but fast forward to today. today, mike lee is one of google's chief allies in
5:50 pm
congress. maybe it's biggest alley in the republican party. lee has question whether congress should even bother with antitrust investigations of tech companies purely as introduced legislation that would make it harder for the government to block corporate mergers. he has complained about the e.u. opposing fines on google. we even came on this program and told the conservatives shouldn't worry about google or other tech companies silencing conservative speech online. so what happened? why the change? well, it's possible that my cletus woke up one morning and decided that his previous views had been wrong. maybe. but evidence compiled by the google transparency project suggest there may have been other factors at play here. starting in 2013, google spent millions of dollars rolling out its high-speed internet service, google fiber, and both provo and salt lake city, utah. in 2015, google most of the high-profile fund-raiser for lee at its silicon valley law firm. the fund-raiser got a lot of attention so google backed out but the fund-raiser itself went
5:51 pm
ahead and lee received a sizable donation from google's political action committee. ever since that fund-raiser and the money he took, we use having investigated seems to have completely evaporated. google knows there's more to politics than just donations. in 2017, they hired a close ally of leaves to manage the company's relationship with conservatives. the internet association, a trade group of which google is a part, hired away mike lee sr. counsel from the senate judiciary committee. google also collaborated with the heritage foundation and american enterprise institute, two of washington's biggest concern was think tanks for the mission they push as i google and other tech monopolies are something conservatives ought to celebrate. these companies are triumphs of the free market appeared we should be grateful for them. and worrying about their growing power and the ways they use that power is somehow socialist and un-american. of course, google itself is socialist and un-american so the
5:52 pm
argument never really made sense. but mike lee bought it completely. when facebook's mark zuckerman became before congress last week, he asked them only at the softest of softball questions. a month later, facebook announced it would build a $750 million data center and you ha. it coincidence? maybe it is a coincidence or maybe it's every bit as corrupt as it seems. we asked senator lee to come on tonight to explain what exactly happened and he declined. we will keep asking until he reconsiders. that's our investigation into big tech to napier to had come of the federal government clarify the ascom americans do have the right to bring tiny horses onto airplanes. a bizarre story, next. it ♪

>> tucker: if you fly regularly, you know in recent years there's been a huge surge in what they call "emotional support animals," passengers using their need for emotional
5:57 pm
comfort to bring, well, tarantulas, snakes, even kangaroos with them onto planes. it's been the wild west in airplane-born animals. now, the d.o.t., the apartment of, is trying to bring some order to the question. they say airlines have the right to exclude most kind of animals, but continued to continue accepting "miniature horses." what? it's time to get a little clarity on this from our liberal sherpa, kathy aruba joins us tonight. kathy, great to see you. miniature horses. i could think of a lot of problems with this. you are okay with it. no? you're not okay with it. >> i don't see any problem with it. i'm completely okay with it. they are adorable, 2 to 3 feet tall, emotional support animals, they seat cats, dogs, and many horses are approved as a sort service animals. only these three groups can be service animals, and miniature horses can also be support
5:58 pm
animals. emotional support animals. esas. >> tucker: only those groups, that's on the most be serviced, if i can say, a form of bigotry. >> no, there is a a no discrimination, not at all, and i want to comes to animal species, only when it comes to service animals. any species can actually be a support animal. >> tucker: what other animals should be allowed on airplanes, do you think? >> well, i did some research, there are some -- there's actually about 30 emotional support animals that would travel quite well. my favorite for travel would be a mama set. which is, like, a small monkey, very intelligent. >> sean: good idea. >> pigs. because pigs are smaller than miniature horses, but they are the size of a cat and dog, also very smart.
5:59 pm
and, sugar gliders. sugar gliders are tiny possums, and they are known to be very, very smart, but emotionally, also wonderful with people that have anxiety. when they fly, and may be claustrophobia. sugar gliders are actually very good at making emotional connections with humans. >> tucker: so unpredictable, superstrong monkeys, pigs, which evacuate like, every 20 minutes, they go to the bathroom, and some obscure kind of tasmanian flying possum? what could go wrong, kathy? >> nothing could go wrong, because these have been studied, and if you have a prescription from your psychiatrist, for a mental health issue, you can travel with these pets. yes. >> tucker: [laughs] all you need is a psychiatrist to say okay. kathy aruba. great to see you tonight. thank you for that guidance. we are out of time, amazingly. will be back, though, 8:00 p.m., tomorrow night, and every weeknight from now until a long
