good night, everybody. ms. gomez: ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." the past couple of years we have reported in some detail, horrifying detail, on how the professional left has totally transformed the city of san francisco from this country's most beautiful city, our cape town, into a cesspool filled with homelessness and drug addiction. that is not an exaggeration.ot there are now more junkies in san francisco than there are high school students.s you won't be surprised to learn that the city has also become threatening and dangerous.s. the rate of property crime in san francisco is the highest of any big city in america. more than five dozen cars are smashed and robbed every single day of the year. it's a disaster. but don't worry, the city's

leaders have a plan to respond to this, and of course, it's not more cops or better enforcement of the law. that would be bigoted. instead, the city of san francisco has decided to ban words that suggest san francisco has a crime problem. people aren't allowed to talk about crime.ugri maybe they won't notice crime exists. that's the thinking. last month, the city's board of supervisors decreed there will be no more convicted felons in san francisco.oa going forward, ex-cons are to be called, quote, justice-involved individuals. as it happens, the people they committed crimes against are also, quote, justice-involved individuals. so in other words, victim and criminal are now morally indistinguishable. that's on purpose. this is woke equality. there is a problem. back in washington, leaders ofof the democratic party apparently haven't got the memo on this. some are still using the term, felon, which is the real f-word. so you might want to send thee kids from the room as we play the following clip.

we warn you, it's ugly. t >> an overwhelming majority of americans agree that anyone trying to buy a gun should at least have to prove that they are not a [bleep] or someone legally branded from using it. >> policy, make sense. >> for all those young men, mostly of color, who got arrested and are now [bleep] for life or selling weed on the corner. >> every citizen has the right have a gun unless you are a [bleep]. what enabled that young man to get a gun he not was entitled to? he was a [bleep] conviction. >> tucker: sorry about all the f-words. how insensitive can you get? meanwhile back in the sanity of san francisco, there are no longer any juveniles delinquents. the whole category has disappeared. criminals under 18 are now 1

referred to as "young people impacted by the juvenile justice system." as if the system and not the kid committed the crime. which is what the left in fact believes. it's your fault. not theirs. check your privilege, middle america. drug addicts in san francisco are now called "people with a history of substance use." rather, "use," not abuse.al get it?th heroin addicts are now the same as insulin-dependent diabetics. both use substances. you can't call one better than the other. they are both exactly the same.h now you can laugh this off. it's san francisco after all, the place where the crazy things happen but think of the implications. language makes thought possible. when the words disappear, so does our ability to think about the ideas the words were present. when they prevent you from saying the obvious, over time, it becomes impossible to see the obvious.

and that's exactly, of course, why they do it. those who control your words control your mind. a we are joined now by mark steyn. there are no more drug abusers. there are no more juvenile delinquents. there are no more felons. does this improve the life ofe the average person in san francisco? what is the point? >> the point, as you say, is to actually disarm the people from being able to debate certain issues. you know, the argument is that if you call someone a felon, it's a value judgment, and it might make you predisposed to think of him in a bad way, so instead you say he's a person impacted by the criminal justice system. in fact, you are the personn impacted by the criminal justice system because the felons keep b

system because the felons keep misdemeanors so they never get put in jail so they are out on the street should rob and berg you again but plainly speaking, oddly enough, it's only reserved for particular targets. for example, you can still call someone a serial gang rapist if he happens to be the next fopublican nominee for the r supreme court, but other than that, we have this immense cleansing of language and they are playing for big game here. i noticed about a decade ago, the government of spain removed the words "mother and father" from its birth certificates and replace them by progenitor a and progenitor b. i recommend to anyone not wanting it if you are in a spanish singles bar and say hey, do you want to come back to my hotel room and play progenitor a and progenitor b, well, okay, but only if i can be progenitor b this time. the fact is, the abolition of mother and father is actually

quite a big thing and the left is clever about this. they play for big prizes. one of the reasons i despair about the political right is because we get all impressed because oh, yeah, we are trying to get a cut in capital gains tax through congress meanwhile they are abolishing the sexes. they are abolishing the sexes. that's incredible. that's incredible. >> tucker: they are reordering the natural order. they are fighting nature and winning and the rest of us are still either playing these dumb low stakes grievance politicsg that we do or arguing about, as you put it so perfectly, the capital gains rates as if that really matters because of course it doesn't. meanwhile, no one is getting married. all the kids are born out ofili wedlock and the society collapses.sp how did we miss the important things?l, >> well, i think one of the reasons, i think one of the problems is that we get head

faked into playing on the left's terms, because the left changes the meaning of all the words so that you end up talking the same nonsense.e. people now can have their careers ruined because they misgender someone on twitter. we shouldn't actually conceive these things lately. the patent absurdity of these things, the british government about ten years ago, they decided they wouldn't use the term "islamic terrorism" because it was discriminative so they home secretary announced she was going to call it anti-islamic activity on the grounds that if anyone walked into a restaurant with a suicide belt, it might risk giving islam the whiff of a bad reputation so it is anti-islamic activity. this is actually industrial scale orwellianism so you actually precisely or inverting

the meaning of language as you said it so that people can't even discuss these topics anymore. >> when we give up these battles over words, we give up autonomy. it if someone else can tell you what words you can use, that person is in charge of your mind. i've never understood why wee hy allowed that to happen. >> no, absolutely. and you see it on one of the critical issues for the trump administration. immigration. terms, speaking as an immigrant myself, the term "immigrant" no longer means what it used to,ll which is someone who comes here legally and fills in the paper. as a joke, when they introduced these terms are undocumented immigrants, as a joke in the column "chicago times," i said why don't we call them members of the undocumented american community? harry reid, about two years later, stood up on the floor of the senate and actually used the phrase undocumented americans without irony.

the whole point is that the second amendment, they want to get rid of it to take away your guns but the first amendment, they want to take away your, they want to take your power to argue, to debate, to even raise certain topics. >> tucker: the power to think for yourself, the most important freedom of all. great to see you tonight, thank you for that. so, san francisco has banned certain words in an effort to make people not notice the crime exists. it's not working, though. residents of the city are outraged after a future root justice involved in individual attacked a woman in her home. trace gallagher joins us tonight with details on this story. hey, trace. >> high mike a sucker for the homeless population in san francisco it was just under 10,000 and we have new footage showing human and dirty needles but this might lead new perspective.e.eweeis it's surveillance video from the san francisco condo building where a resident tries to open the door and is attacked by a 25-year-old homeless man named austin james vincent. the victim says mr. vincent told her he was trying to save her life, but he was clearly a danger.

yet even after viewing the video, a local judge to told james vincent to wear an ankle monitor and he was freed to go. in other words, home detention device for a man with out of home. when mr. vincent story hit local news, please got numerous reports of other incidents involving him, including from a woman who says he attacked her with a knife back in february. vincent was then rearrested. and there is this video in san francisco where the owner of a truffle shop makes a homeless man leave. a fight ensues, the homeless man puts the shop owner in a choke hold right near the front door of his shop. the owner's 13-year-old son grabbed a baseball bat and ran outside.an the fight had ended but the 13-year-old was ready. >> i was thinking for to myselfn if this keeps going on,

if this guy keeps strangling my dad, i'm going to hit this guy. so if it would've lasted a couple more seconds, i would've ditto, los angeles. >> tucker: that was the most inspiring tape i've seen in a while. thank you for that.at well, we told you repeatedly this year that thanks to homeless epidemic across the country, particularly in the west, medieval diseases like typhus are making a comeback. for instance, in los angeles. >> typhus is popping up in l.a. skid row and area where homelessness sprawls across 50 city blocks. an infectious disease eradicated in the 1800s that festers in filth and bites of fleas and rats is back. the city allows hundreds of homeless people to set up shacks on the sidewalk and live there forever.haiv >> tucker: that was fox's hillary vaughn. we are happy to have year on the set tonight with an update on that. >> everyone knows rats are dirty

but in los angeles, the rats can be deadly and we showed you that. last march we showed youou conditions on the streets ofof los angeles that are brought medieval diseases back to life like typhus, and since our report, the rat problem is even worse. more cases of the disease continue to pop up. since 2018 in los angeles, there have been 150 cases ofn typhus and 27 typhus outbreaks. a report from a form california survey 23 private pest control comedies, all of them say rat reports have spiked in the last year. just two weeks ago, a work safety inspector found that employees at city hall in los angeles are exposed to heat of trash and bodily fluids from homeless encampments line the streets not far from l.a.'s skid row. l.a. mayor works at city hall but has not declared a state of emergency to handle the homelessness. l.a. city councilmember met with

the mayor this week, begging him to declare a state of emergency in the city telling us, quote, these efforts are advancing at an excruciatingly slow pace with bureaucratic roadblocks and red tape every step of the way. if a natural disaster with left people homeless, we would declare it a state of emergency. they spent millions of dollars cleaning up but when a clear spot, new people just move right in and popped their tents providing safe harbor for a flourishing community of rats, infested with diseases. los angeles is the second rat he city in the country but exterminating them could be a lot more difficult because a bill on the california state assembly wants the state to outlaw super toxic forms of rat poison because it harms localins wildlife, like coyotes and mountain lions. tucker? >> tucker: amazing story. thank you for that. i hope you'll come back. bernie sanders has unveiled his new climate plan, and no, it does not entail him flying on private jets.je he plans on keeping doing that. it plans on spending $50,000 for every man american woman and

child.d. where's that money coming from? you guess, after the break, we will be right back.

♪ >> tucker: senator bernie sanders unveiled his version of the green new deal today. if you are hoping he would announce he's never gonna fly in a private jet again, you are going to be disappointed.e' he is going to continue to do that, avidly. y you are not allowed to, but he'm going to.

no, his plan is this: spend $16 trillion. it's ten times as much as joe biden. in fact, 50 grand for every single person in america. what could he do without money? i mean, what can you do, send everyone in the country to college for four years? p p he said his plan will pay for itself somehow. of course by that, he means you will pay for it whether you want to or not. mr. turner joins us tonight to explain what goes and of his plan. so bernie is going to continue to fly private, all of them do. but what does this mean for the rest of us? >> it means an awful existence because it will be the end of america as we know it. this is not a climate change plan, this is not an environmental plan, this is a socialist manifesto written by grammatically incompetent, angry -- >> tucker: stop right there. >> the very first line, my mother was an english teacher, would've ripped it up on the spot and said do it again. the first line has a serious grammar error. >> tucker: the people in charge among their many other sins are done.

a lot of them are dumb. and because they went to harvard, they sort of have you on the fence like i know a lot, i'm an expert. actually, a lot of them are just mouth-breathing morons. >> yeah, they are down, they are very, very angry. "bernie sanders will welcome tha hatred of the oil executives." exactly. i read it and i didn't understand how that -- what that even means. so yes, they are very dumbo because this is climate change and because it's the environment, they get away with so much more than your average person would be told to go pound sand. so things like $2 trillion given to people to buy electric vehicles, what does he do when we pour all of this money to tht education system? will the price of tuition go up or down? so we are gonna pour two trillion dollars into buying electric vehicles? what is not due to the economy? so is there an infrastructure to meet the demands of vehicle requirements on electric vehicles? this proposal is so devoid of physics, economics, math, i mean, simple math. high school, elementary school math.

it's an abomination. >> tucker: so china is the biggest carbon emitter and the biggest polluter in the world by far. so does any part of the plan to look, this is an existential threat to life on this planet, we are going to go to war with china unless they stop building coal plants? does it say that? >> no, it doesn't. so not only are we going tonl destroy our economy, we are going to fund other nations toin help them by solar panels from china. of course china wants this. the climate change conference was just saying that he hopes america would reenter the eparis climate accords. of course they want america in the paris climate accords because it only benefits them. >> tucker: i'm obsessed with this one point and i'm going to bring it up again.. does it say anything about planting trees? if you really believe that the claimant was changing because of carbon emissions, you would want to plant trees to absorb the

carbon. i love trees. i think we will we should plant trees, actually. but nobody on the left wants toh do that because it doesn't give them hard. does this plan mention that? >> no, just talk about the amazon fire which makes it sound like it's caused by climate change which is not, the fires and amazon are man-made and they are tragic but they are not caused by climate change. if you follow their philosophy on what causes climate change, i don't agree with their philosophy or their place because is not scientific, its opinion. if you follow their beliefs, there are things that they should encourage people to do. he we should get off the internet,g we should all stop using any sort of private jet, like you just said.t prince harry, he gave a barefoot speech about climate change but he's been on a private jet four times in 11 days. one private jet flight has ass much of a carbon footprint as the average human's year. prince harry, you could be as barefoot as you want. >> tucker: i'm not exactly sure who prince harry thinks he is but he can be quiet. >> exactly, socialism for us but not for them. >> tucker: great to see you as always. thank you very much. u well, bill de blasio has

statistically speaking 0% chance of becoming the president of the united states but he still has a lot of power to make life worse in america's largest city. and he's doing that. nearly a year ago, de blasio was confronted at a ymca by one of new york's 60,000 homeless people. watch this. >> [indistinct question] >> why won't you make more housing for homeless new yorkers, mayor bill de blasio? >> tucker: so recently, a local new york news station track that woman down and it turns out she still homeless but bill de blasio doesn't care. he has other priorities. here's what they are. you can guess. recently he altered the city's a affordable housing lottery. why? to make it easier for foreign

nationals here against our laws, illegal aliens, to use the shelters in new york city. while american citizens languish on the sidewalk. a new york city councilman joins us tonight. thanks a lot for coming on. am i misstating this? the mayor of new york, this city has a terrible homeless problem, there's not enough space, beds, and the mayor is saying, let's put some illegal aliens into the system? >> no, you really hit the nail right on the head. instead of helping homeless men, women, and children, we have more than 60,000 homeless, families in our shelter system tonight and instead of helping homeless veterans, instead of helping seniors were living on a fixed income, he has decided to help people were in the country illegally and allow them to apply for the affordable housing lottery to get below market rents for apartments that should be going to law-abiding citizens and people who play by the rules. those are the people that deserve those slots. >> tucker: it's almost beyond belief, but it's also of the

democrats in your state have made here for example, given coverage tuition to people here illegally above and beyond of what american citizens get. is there anything that can be done to stop this? >> i find it interesting that bill de blasio had this epiphany.n he's been mayor for more than six years now and he's done a terrible job by the way. the headline you had on the screen was absolutely on the mark, he is the worst mayor the city has probably ever had. but bill de blasio decided that because he wants to be the democratic nominee, because he's running for president, he's gonna roll out this litany of a leftist socialist policies, none of which he's ever talked about before, but now conveniently he wants to use on the campaign train trail. there are some people in new york who are upset that he is spending a lot of time outside of his city. i'm not one of those people. the less he is here, the less damage you can do. he is so progressive, so left. he makes aoc look like shirley

temple. i mean, he really does. he's doing so much damage to the city of new york is disgusting. >> tucker: yeah, he's an idiot. but i guess the bottom line always is not ideological, it's practical. i mean, he can say whatever he wants and he can jump up and down and make all these announcements but the test iss life in the city, has it gotten better or worse under bill de blasio and what's the honest answer to that? >> and virtually we are not better off today than we were for six years ago when bill de blasio took office almost all of the gains that we made under the giuliani and bloomberg administration have all but evaporated under this mayor. he is so interested in up raising his national profile and being the leader of the so-called progressive movement that he shows little to no interest in managing the day-to-day affairs of the city and the proof is in the numbers. we have an affordable housing crisis in the city, we have a homelessness epidemic unlike anything we've ever seen before. our police department lost all respect, all confidence in the mayor and where is the mayor?? campaigning for president. he is at 0% in the polls. he's a disgrace. >> tucker: if it weren't the country's biggest city,

new york city, it wouldn't matter, but it does matter. >> well, it does matter and we got to keep fighting the good fight. >> tucker: thanks for coming on. like many on the left, president obama says the climate change is an existential threat that's going to destroy the planet. and yet, while you weren't watching, he started negotiating on a piece of incredibly expensive ocean front property. that doesn't make sense, does it? well, he's not the only person on the left doing that.opop details after the break. ♪ ♪[upbeat music]

♪now i'm gonna tell my momma♪ ♪that i'm a traveller ♪i'm gonna follow the sun♪ ♪now i'm gonna tell my momma ♪that i'm a traveller transitions™ light under control™ >> tucker: if you listen to democrats in washington -- some republicans, by the way, talk, too -- and you hear a lota about the existential threat of climate change. l they claim to believe that butut they don't live like they believe it. i can give you a million examples. here's the latest. president obama apparently is in the process of paying $15 million for an oceanfront home in martha's vineyard.

huh? trace gallagher returns with more on that story tonight. hey, trace. >> tucker, the former s president and first lady have spent much of the summer in a rented home on martha's vineyard. cozy cottage, 7,000 square feet, seven bedrooms, pool, outdoor kitchen, second-story jacuzzi, 29 acres of oceanfront real estate could we are told they love the home. in fact come as you mention, they're going to buy it. list price, $14.8 million. that's not to say the obama's are paying full tilt though even when the former president was recently talking about income inequality, he had to admit that he's really rich. watch.th >> i should add, by the way, right now i'm actually surprised by how much money i have. there is only so much you can eat. there's only so big a house you can have. t >> 7,000 square feet, to be exact. which is only tiny if you are

al gore. the former vice president's nashville home is more than 10,000 square feet and in 2017, right before his documentary, and inconvenience equal, opened, the national senators think tank estimated the vice president used 21 times more energy than the average american. that's just in the nashville home. they didn't figure in the other two. turns out being a congresswoman, not nearly as lucrative as being the president or vice president. democrat maxine waterses california home, valued at a mere $4.3 million and that home, not even in her district. tucker? >> tucker: amazing. amazing. h if you want to know how people think, watch how they live. trace gallagher, great to see you. here something that really is an existential crisis, social media is having a devastating effect on america's most vulnerable and particularly on teenage brains. this is real good researchers in the u.k. found that kids and teenagers who use social media are likely to be more stressed

and have more exposure to bullying. in schools, experts are warning the children cannot be deprived of their phones for an entirein day because it is too psychologically stressful for them to quit using a device for that long. a professor of psychology at san diego state university and author of the book "igen" joins us tonight. jean, thanks so much for coming on. so this is added to a, what is now a growing mountain of evidence that social media really are physically harmful for our young people. tell us, summarize these findings if you would. >> well, we really have. we are in the midst of a mental health crisis for teens in this country, particularly for teen girls. depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicide, they all started to rise after 2012 when social media became common and so did smartphones. this is probably not a coincidence because the people

who spend a lot of time on their phones, especially those who spent a lot of time on social media, it's linked to lack of sleep and depression and less happiness. all of these effects and they are hitting teen girls especially hard. >> tucker: so, i don't think anything you said is speculation. it seems like there are studies to back up every discrete pointo that you just made. there are a lot of people in our society right now who claim to deeply care about teen girls, young women. none of them are saying anything about this. why? >> well, that's a good question. i think there's a lot of denial out there. everybody loves their phone and spending time on their phone, but i think people are just not being realistic about how we need to deal with this issue that -- it's very tempting to say that's just the way things are now, that's just the way kids are and we should just accept it but,

you know, we have ast responsibility as adults and parents to take charge of thesev things, to not say, kids can't deal with not having their phones. they are going to want their phones. well, of course they're going to want their phones. have you been to a business meeting lately? t every 55-year-old can keep their hands off their phones, so how are we going to expect at 13 or 14-year-old to keep their handst off their phone? during a school day and say well, we have to teach them to manage the phone? we are not going to take it away, we are going to teach them to manage it. nobody can manage it. these things are designed to be addictive. >> tucker: that's right. that's exactly right. the only thing is like -- can you imagine saying to a 13-year-old, you've got a pack a day marlboro addiction habit but we are going to manage that and get it down to 15 cigarettes a day? nobody would consider that, correct? mgo >> absolutely. yet, you know, there are a lot of people out there is that you shouldn't take them away during the school today. you should trust them, they

need to learn how to manage it. yet, they are not old enough tot know how to manage it and even adults are not having a lot of success doing that. we have to step in and be the adults and be the parents. >> tucker: i think what we are really saying is we just don't care that much, actually. m thanks so much for joining us tonight. it's sad. interesting and sad, a survey from q is concerning about what's happening in this country pretty widely known informationn about not optioning knowledge in public. america has it turns out is becoming a low trust society. american adults 65 or older growth in a very different country and their views reflected. it only 29% of this group, the older americans believe that chemical, most people can't be trusted. it just 39% think that most people are looking to take advantage of them.m.ve 48% agree with the statement that most of the time people just look out for themselves. contrast those attitudes with the attitudes of young americans. they are radically different. 60% of young people in thisse country say that most people can't be trusted.. 71% say that people are trying to take advantage of them.

73% think that most people can't be trusted most of the time. t so it's hard to blame young people for thinking this way. the point of this is not to blame them, they have learned it. as children, they were told that education was the key to success. now, many have tens of thousands of college loan debt. they will be paying that off for years or decades. they learned nothing. it gave them no advantage at all.l. meanwhile, they took it for granted that companies like facebook would spy on them for profit. companies like uber employ them and give them no benefits and called it the gig economy and pretended they ought to be grateful to work there. the highest job they could aspire to is wanting to wear some matching t-shirt and spare depressing retail apple store. these are kids who spend their whole lives under leaders who are happy to send americans to die in pointless wars in the middle east but barely think about stopping the nation's deadliest drug epidemic or having their entire countrye bought up by private equity

then sold off to the chinese. these are kids who exist in the social environment where friends will denounce him over a single disagreement rather than trying to live with different views. they become less trusting because their daily lives told them that trust isn't worth it, it's for suckers. so this is not a small thing. it has massive implications. social trust is a critical component of happiness. no country can remain happy without social trust. all humans crave communities where they feel at home where they can trust the people around them. if americans can trust each other, and they just hate and suspect each other, there are only two end games and neitheron one of them is good. this is something we should worry about and address directly because everything hangs in the balance. well, democrats like to tell you that global warming is an existential threat. probably overstated at this point. that doesn't mean there aren't deadly threats out there that couldn't be existential.

super volcanoes and asteroids, for example, are existential threats. should we be worried about that? we will tell you just ahead. but first, it's time for "final exam" where two of our fox professionals will show who has learned more useless knowledge this week. the winner walks away with an erik wemple mug. after the break. when you're not able to smile, you become closed off. i felt withdrawn, alone... having to live with bad teeth for so long was extremely depressing. now, i know how happy i am. there was all the feeling good about myself that i missed. i wish that i had gone to aspen dental on day one and not waited three years. at aspen dental, we're all about yes. like yes to flexible hours and payment options. yes to free exams and x-rays for new patients without insurance. and yes, whenever you're ready to get started, we are too. call now at 1-800-aspendental.

♪ >> tucker: time now for "final exam," where the hardened news professionals here at fox news compete for a chance to win the coveted erik wemple mug. our challengers tonight, fox business anchors cheryl casone. one of the great people in the building. taking on "the five's" co-host jesse watters, who reclaimed the "final exam" title last year by beating martha maccallum in a showdown for the ages. that was quite intense. welcome to you both and good

luck. you know the rules, but i'm going to repeat them for our audience. hands on the buzzers. i ask the questions, first person to buzz gets to answer the question. critically, you have to wait until i finish asking it before you answer. otherwise i won't acknowledge you by saying your name. every correct answer is worth a single point. if you get one wrong, we subtract a point from your total out of cruelty. best-of-five wins. are you ready? >> we are ready. >> tucker: okay. question one. we will begin with multiple choice. senator elizabeth warren is facing criticism this week not for something she said, for her dance moves. at the conclusion of her minnesota rally, the candidate awkwardly rocked out to which song? was it a, respect by aretha franklin, was it b, american girl by tom petty, or that '70s

anthem, nine to five by dolly parton? stick on when to go with, respect. >> tucker: is jesse watters right? is it "respect" by aretha franklin? [laughter] >> tucker: i want to apologize to our viewers. i hadn't seen that video. typically i screen the videos. i was just horrifying. i'm really sorry to put that on the screen. question two. another multiple-choice for you. the president has canceled his trip to denmark. that is because the country's prime minister rejected his proposal to buy greenland, which is a danish territory, who knew. the question is, who is the prime minister of denmark? is it a, erna solberg, is it b, mettie fredrickson, is it c, benny anderson? jesse watters. >> i'm gonna go b, mette whatever her last name is.

[laughter] >> tucker: i think i pronounced it incorrectly. but is he right? >> the danish royal palace which invited mr. trump was apparently blindsided by the cancellation and prime minister mette fredrickson was surprised and disappointed. look. >> i've been looking forward to the visit of in the preparations were well underway. it was an opportunity i think to celebrate denmark's close relationship to u.s. >> tucker: you are right, mette. jesse watters, you are savage. i'm not surprised. you are just really on top of this stuff. >> is my button working? i don't know. >> tucker: it's possible it's not. all right, question three, which 2020 democratic candidate promises that if elected president, she will create the first ever department of peace? jesse watters once more.

>> that would be marianne williamson, tucker. >> tucker: marianne williamson.. your personal spiritual advisor. is he correct? >> the 67-year-old spiritualist and author is doing things her own way. >> if you make me president, we will have a united states department of peace. >> she's established herself as one of the most quotable candidates. >> tucker: wow. that's awesome! good job. okay. 3-0. going into question four, this question is our daily double. this is worth two points. it's another multiple-choice. here it is. kroger, the supermarket, is now selling vegan eggs. they are completely plant-based. which vegetable are these vegan eggs made from? is it a, pinto beans, b, kidney beans, c, mung beans? cheryl? >> c, mung beans. >> tucker: okay, and for an extra point, what's a mung bean?

but first, is cheryl correct, is it a mung bean? >> kroger is now selling vegan eggs made from something i've never heard of, and that would be mung beans. bottom line here is, this plant-based food is expanding rapidly. >> tucker: i've always loved stuart varney but the fact that he admitted that made me love him even more. final question. this is a multiple-choice. the u.s. department announced this week that after careful consideration, what type of animal is cleared to fly as an emotional support companion? mini a, ferrets, is it b, horses, is it c, baby llamas? jesse watters? >> b, mini horses. >> tucker: is it mini horses? >> miniature horses? i could think of a lot of problems with that. >> i don't see any problem with

it. i am completely okay with it. they are adorable, they are two to three feet tall, and the ada sees cats, dogs, and mini horses approved as service animals. >> tucker: mini horses. couldn't drag me away. unbelievable. great job. cheryl, you did a fantastic job. but jesse watters, another erik wemple mug. i want you to drink this with pride or without pants but as you do, remember us. >> thank you very much. thank you. >> tucker: cheryl, thank you for that. that's it for this week's "final exam." pay close attention to the news each week, particularly the weird news. tune in thursday to see if you are worthy of an erik wemple mug.ch you can find those mugs, by the way, on our website, tuckercarlson.com. we will be right back. mugs, bye ♪[upbeat music]

>> climate change is real, it's

the existential threat to our country in the entire planet. >> nato said it's the biggest existential threat. >> this is climate change. it really is the existential threat. >> tucker: holy smokes. an existential threat. can you define it? ma? it doesn't matter. it's pretty serious. what can that existential threat to be? the democratic party is talking about climate, it's not about to kill anybody but there actually are some existential threats out there and they are terrifying. the yellowstone super volcano, a "new york times" op-ed warns that if it explodes, it v will obliterate wyoming and cause years of winter. m that's existential. then there is a giant asteroid threat, big ones like the ones that killed the dinosaurs or the ones that the bruce willis blew up in the movie "armageddon." we will have three close encounters with giant space rocks in just the next week.

in case you aren't rattled yet, the big one, the earthquake that could shear the entire west coast of america off and send it into the sea, apparently it's real. scientists are warning about it constantly. of these threats, which is the most existential? which is the gravest? are they real? brett larson has looked into this, he is an anchor for fox news 24/7 and the man who we go to when we have complex science questions, should we be worried?x >> we should be absolutely terrified, this is serious stuff. i'm glad you mentioned california, i grew up in california, your entire life is spent waiting for the big one. >> tucker: i remember well. >> you prepare for it, you are ready for it, you've got your emergency kit. when you look at all of this stuff, that's the most important thing to combat these existential threats, be prepared to take care of yourself for a

day or two when something bad goes wrong. i lived in california during the 1989 earthquake, we fared better than most. our power wente, out for a day r two, we were fine, we had candles and canned food and nonperishable food, we were able to get by until things came back to normal. scientists are always telling us aboutk asteroids that are going to hit us, the volcano you mentioned in yellowstone park. these are real things, these are things that could potentially be a problem, but they are talking about this volcano that erupts, it's erupted three times in 2.1 million years, the last time it did it was 640,000 years ago. we weren't around 640,000 years ago and if it's once every 700,000 years, i'm guessing none of us are going to be around in 60,000 years or so. maybe by then, the artificial intelligence robots will have taken over and they can deal with the existential threat.t.

>> tucker: let me pause you and say i'm going to take that off the list, we are going to pass that to future generations. fair? >> totally fair. the asteroid thing, if dwayne the rock johnson is ready to do the movie, i'm ready to do the movie but we've had the movie like six times. there's an asteroid that's going to pass by us in ten years but it's going to be 19,000 miles away. we might not even notice that it's going to go by, it's definitely going to give nasa something to study when it goes past us and this is great forr science, maybe in ten years they will figure out how to land a probe on it so we can see out what's going on. but we shouldn't be terrified of these things, we should just be prepared to take care of ourselves for a few days until help is on the way to help us.

u tucker: after the asteroid hits. >> if the asteroid hits, it's over -- i don't want to be a doomsday guy but remember y2k? the planes were going to fly out of the sky, the atms were going to spit $20 bills at everybody, buses were going to crash, none of that happened -- it was this mass hysteria peddled by the media like tothat's what we do. >> tucker: we got a pretty bad track record. >> the mayans, everything's supposed end in 2016. i can't remember. my calendar kept going. >> tucker: i can't believe i'm in this business, how did i get to be a journalist? great to see you tonight, thank you for that. >> good to see you, tucker. >> tucker: that was existential. whatever that means, we are out

of time, sadly an hour, like that! it goes by, a metaphor. enjoy every second. we'll be back tomorrow night, 8:00 p.m., the show that is sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. sean hannity next from new york. >> sean: tucker, thank you. we have a lot of ground to cover tonight, buckle up. bernie sanders just rolled out a laughable $16.3 trillion plan to end all carbon pollution but our total federal budget is around $4 trillion. we will give you some of the numbers and do the math and put logic behind it. also tonight, congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez, the leader of the "squad," she has called the electoral college racist all while ignoring the virulent anti-semites in her own squad, we will have a lot on that coming up. we begin tonight, a shocking new development surrounding hillary clinton,
