a family business should stay in the family. see how lincoln's insurance solutions can help protect your family, your business and everyone who counts on you, at lincolnfinancial.com september 9th, 2019. tucker is up next. >> tucker: president trump, speaking to supporters in north carolina tonight.re special election in that state for two of north carolina's congressional districts. good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." we are going to head back to the president's speech for a moment. we will be back, here he is. >> president trump: a lot. but i do. you know, we had a different location, as you all know. and, we said, let's do this one. it's bigger. we put screens outside for all of the people that have screens and loudspeakers and everything. it's really amazing what's going on out there. but after years of building up other countries, we are finallye building up our country. that's the bottom line.

[cheers and applause] and the last administration with biden and obama at the helm. [boos] they tried to pass the worst trade deal ever proposed. the trans-pacificwo partnership. you could have kissed many of your industries goodbye. tpp would have gutted the american auto industry. it would have been even worse than nafta. and we know how bad nafta was. all you have to do, is even to this day, look at around at all those empty plants were people moved down and companies moved down to mexico. not under the usmca. we have to get nancy pelosi to put it up for a vote. make it bipartisan. she will have tremendous democrat n support. the farmers want it, the unions want it, the manufacturers wanted to, and by the way, 600,000 manufacturing jobs in

this country. remember? you would need a magic wand, you can't do that anymore. well, we did it. but we have to get usmca put up for a vote by the u democrats.r but in my first week in office, i proudly withdrew from that job-destroying tpp catastrophe. and we are replacing one of the worst trade deals ever made by any country. it you could go back as far as you want, nafta, the disaster of nafta, so whatever you do, start talking to your people, we need a vote on the usmca. that's united states mexico and canada and they've already voted. they want it and we want it and it's great for the farmers, it's great for everybody. we are also aggressively combating a problem that you north carolina, problem that we have in almost all

states, the opioid epidemic. last year we saw the first nationwide decline in drug overdose deaths in nearly 31 years. [cheers and applause] and at the center of the american drug crisis is the border crisis. criminal cartels smuggle vast quantities of lethal narcotics across our southern border, including heroin, meth, cocainen and fentanyl. a hundred thousand people a year die from what comes across our southern border, and we can't get the democrats toer help us n ceiling it even tighter. we've got to get g them. we've got to get them. we've got to get them. so if you want to stop the drug smugglers, the human traffickers, the vicious ms-13 gang members -- and by the way,

thank you to ice. these people go into those -- [cheers and applause] they go into those nests. we call them nests. these are vicious, vicious people. we go into the nests with our eyes people and for them it's anotherce day at the office, the aren't many people int' this rom that want to do it for a living. let me see, that guy could. maybe him. maybe her. maybe her, right? but it's a a rough job and they get so little praise for the job they do, so dangerous. these are many killers in those gangs andwe we are taking them t of our country by the thousands, ms-13. and as you know, democrats even want to give health care to illegal immigrants.

[boos]s] as long as i'm your president, i will never, ever let democrats take away your health care and give it away free to people that have entered our country illegally. we can't do that. [cheers and applause] its tremendous incentive to come in. democrats also want to bring in unlimited numbers of foreign refugees from overseas, all at the expense of supporting their own communities. republicans, no matter what you do, where you are, we want people to obey our laws. we want people that are going to help our country. the democrat party has never been farther outside of the mainstream. every major democrat running for president supports a massive government takeover of

health care that would raid medicare, force private doctors out of medicine and lead to the rationing of life savingemvi treatments. and, you know, they're going to take away your private health care, your private insurance. 180 million people will lose with what they want to do. it's a disaster. you know -- it's like they do ever really feel sort of where you don't even have to treat people nicely? you don't have any choice, you have to vote for me. i can leave right now. i can say north carolina, i've had it with you, i'm leaving rightvi now. and you know. what, you got to o out and vote. what are you going to do? put one of these crazy people running our country again? but it's never been so far left. i told this story the other day but a businessman i saw, one of the biggest in the country, you probably know his name, one of the biggest, he's hated me for

20 years, and i've hated him also. okay? they are going to go out tomorrow, breaking news, donald trump eats people. you're sort of right about that. i never liked this guy. and i see him in the white house and i said what are you doing here and it goes mr. president -- now he calls me mr. president. he used to call me something else. mr. president, i'm fighting forl your victories. i said, you've got to be kidding. and he goes honestly, you're doing a great job, but also, if this radical left gets in, they're going to take away everything and they're going to destroy our country, and for the first time i like this guy. [cheers and applause] my administration is defending your right to choose the plan and the doctor that is best for

you. remember president obama? [boos] remember 28 times they counted them and there's much more than that i would imagine, that you can choose your plan, which was her doctor. it didn't work out that way, did it? obamacare, and we are taking obamacare alive, we got rid of the individual mandate, the worst part of obamacare. we are keeping it and running it as well as it can come up with the premiums are too high. if the t deductibles are through the roof, it's ridiculous. and we are coming up with lindsey graham and all of the folks were coming up with a great health care plan that if we take back the house -- that's why dan and greg, if we take backre the house, if we keep the senate, maybe even increase it a little bit. wouldn't be bad. and on the assumption we keep the presidency, you're going to have great health care.

[cheers and applause] [crowd chanting] thank you. we almost had it buried we had a man campaigning for eight years to knock out obamacare. when he voted, it didn't work out that way, did it? we would have had it, but we are going to end up actually with a better plan. sometimes through adversity things work out better. we are going to t end up with a better plan, you watch. we will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions, always, you have my word. our ambitious campaign to reduce the price of prescription drugs has produced the largest decline in drug prices and more than 51 years. virtually every top democrat

also now supports late-term abortion. [boos]s] ripping babies straight from the mother's womb right up to the moment of birth, and if you look at virginia, the governor of virginia, he was even talking about essentially you would say an execution. he was talking after the baby is born, the doctor will talk to the mother and they'll maketh a decision as to whether or not that baby lives. this is a radical democrat idea. [boos] and that's why i've asked congress to prohibit extreme late-term abortion, because republicans believe that every child is a sacred gift from god.

[cheers and applause] democrats are now the party of high taxes, high crime, open borders, late-term abortion, and socialism. they are socialists. the republican party is the party of the american worker, the american family, and the american dream. [cheers and applause] every day we are making good on the motto promises made, promises kept. in fact, we are keeping even more promises, by far, then we made more than we promised. so many more. so many more. so many more. you know what we did with respect to people that are very sick or terminally ill, right? right to try. i love the name. it right to try. we have some of the greatest doctors in the world, labs and the world, hospitals in the

world, and we have incredible medicine that's prohibited from being used until it gets approval and sometimes that approval can take many years. and i say come away to many, if a person is sick -- they've been trying to get this for 45 years. i said if a person is sick and maybe terminally ill, why are we letting them try this new technology and so many things are happening, and we did -- right to try, and it wasn't easy but i was helped by lindsay and a lot of great people. a lot of great people. [applause] all of them helped. mark helped so much, all of them helped. greg. we have had tremendous success. we had so many people wanting to help but it was complicated, believe it or not, because the country didn't want the liability. i said you know what you do? you draw up an agreement taking away the liability. they said that's a good idea. the insurance companies and the drug companies were very unsure.

this is been going on for many years.e i got it done, the results have beenin unbelievable. right to try. things that we never even talked about getting done. and you know, maybe one of the biggest things is within about a month we will have close to 180 federal judges, including appellate division judges. including two great new supreme court justices. justice neil gorsuch in justice brett kavanaugh, who they put through hell. we passed something that they wanted to do for half a century. we passed va choice, so when you're great -- when you're great and honored veterans are

waiting in line for three weeks, four weeks, five days, ten days, two months, they go to a private doctor, we pay for the bill and they get themselves taken care of instead of dying, which was happening. [cheers and applause] and we also passed va accountability on behalf of our great veterans. that means when they treat our veterans badly, and they wouldn't have done it in prime time, i can tell you, but when they treat our sick and troubled veterans badly, we can say, you're fired. [cheers and applause] it's called va accountability. that's another one they've been trying and in all fairness, the unions made it very tough. civil service made it almost impossible. everyone said you'll never get it done. we got it done. i want to thank the republican

senate. to thank some incredible people in the house of representatives and kevin, i want to thank you, because that was a great job you did on that one. that was a great job, thank you. kevin mccarthy. we've achieved record funding for the u.s. military, $700 billion lastt year. $716 billion this year. $738 billion, and you know, i'm a big believer in budgets, but we had no choice. we had to rebuild our military, with all that's going on today, with china, with russia, with radical islam, with everything that's happening, we had to do something and you know budgets -- i love budgets, and we will get to that, don't worry about it, but we had to rebuild our military -- was totally depleted. it was totally depleted and now we have beautiful new f-35s,

f18. new ships, new missiles, new rockets. we have new everythings. i came back with admiral brown, the united states coast guard and some of the other folks and they were saying that the new coast guard -- how good a job has the coast guard done during these hurricanes? [cheers and applause] and i said, admiral, how good are the new coast guard cutters and they said they are the finest in the world. weth have the fight -- they had old, broken equipment that they had to keep going on a shoestring. they have brand-new coast guard cutters. we had to do it. we had to do it. there's always time for the other, but we had to do it. we've rebuilt our military, we've taken care of the great people that work in our military. we give them a raise, a beautiful raise. they were so entitled to. and i also got other nato members to pay an additional

$100 billion over the last year and a half that they weren't paying. they were delinquent. we are supposed to protect them and they don't pay, i'd say, you can't do t that. you can't do that. you've got to pay. nato. now we are finally making immensely wealthy countries pay the cost of their defense. we are negotiating with a lot of them. think of it. we have these immensely wealthy countries and they are paying for a fraction of our cost to defend them. how did that happen? and you know what the biggest excuse is when i go to them and i will say king, you've got to pay, or mr. prime minister, you've got to pay, or mr. president, you've got to pay. it's costing us billions of dollars to protect these -- you know what their biggest thing is -- because i can't understand how we did this for sog many years -- decades.

decades.. you have been defending -- i won't mention names because i don't want to embarrass anybody. i don't want to embarrass -- forget it. some of the wealthiest countries -- and when i say king, president, prime minister, queen, no matter what i say, you know what theyt say? but nobody has ever asked us to do that before. that's the only excuse. because i say to them, why would we do this? why are we defending you? your immensely wealthy, you compete with us on trade, we have lousy trade deals that we are renegotiating many of them and ultimately all of them. why are we protecting you, mr. president? while, well, i don't know. i don't know. but you know what their answer is? because you've always done it. that's not a great answer.

so we are taking in billions and billions, but i've got $100 billion and the secretary general of nato is my biggest fan. he said until president trump, the nato cost of spending was going like this and ours was going like this. weurs were defending many counts that treat us very badly on trade and very unfairly. we were defending them and now it's changing around -- $100 billion. they are not happy. and theney i read where obama is more popular in germany than trump. he's got tohe be! i'm making people pay their bills! he's got to be. you know, the day that are more popular than him, i'm not doing my job. [cheers and applause] they like him more in europe trump.ey like

i think they should. hundred billion dollars moree they are paying to protect america's security. i withdrew the united states horrible one-sided iran nuclear deal. we paid them $150 billion for lithat piece of work. i withdrew it and we put sanctions all over the place and they are a much different country, and let's see what happens, but i can tell you, they would like to get back to business, because they're not doing very well. when i came into office, iran was a real terror. 18 sites of confliction. they were behind everyone of of them in the middle east, and who knows, could have been elsewhere. and i said we are not going to do it. $150 billion president obama paid and 1.8 billion in cash. whoever saw a million dollars

piled up as a promotion and hundred dollar bills. it's a lot. it's a big -- now take a million dollars and make it $1.8 billion in cash -- i'm actually more impressed with that number than $150 billion, you want to know the truth. $1.8 billion in cash. we got taken to the cleaners, so i terminateded the deal. [cheers and applause] and i recognized israel's true capital and opened the american embassy in jerusalem, which every president said they were going to do. [cheers and applause] and i also approved for israel the golan heights, and if you really think about it, i said to people, what'sea more important, thee golan heights or the capitl

of jerusalem by moving our embassy there? he said neither, sir, what you've done in iran is more important than both. i said, you know, i guess you're right when you think about it. so we've done a good job, all of us together. as a movement we've done a great job for israel. for years he watched as your politicians apologized for america. now you have a president who was standing up for america and we are standing up for the people of north carolina. [cheers and applause] you must never forget that the 2,020 election is about one t thing, you. it's true. it's not about me, it's about you. it's about your family, your future, and the fate of your country. that's what we did in 2016.

they came from the hills in the valleys. they came from the cities, they came from all over the place and people were saying these fakers back then, they were saying what is happening? but i knew it was going to happen. because we would go out and we would see these rallies, the g likes of which nobody has ever seen before.ev ever. never, ever iner politics. evern in politics. a vote for any democrat in 2020 and a vote for anyy democrat tomorrow in north carolina is a vote for the rise of radical socialism and the destruction of the american dream. [boos] we are entering this campaign with the best record, the best results, the best agenda, and the only positive vision for the people of north carolina. and i've set it and i say it loudly and proudly. i don't believe there's been any president or any administration

that has done more in two and a half years then we have as a group, then we have. i don't think so. [cheers and applause] when you add it all up, nobody's done what we have. our first task is a giant victory. tomorrow, right here in the great state of north carolina with your support, tomorrow we take the first steps to firing speaker pelosi and winning back the house in 2020. [cheers and applause] we need everybody to get your friends, get your family, get your neighbors, and get out and vote fornd dan bishop and get ot and vote for greg murphy. you've got to get out tomorrow and vote. together, we will lift millions more from ourmo horrible, horrie situations that have developed over the years.

look at what's happening to democrat-run cities. every single one of them. we go in to lift millions more of our citizens from welfare to work, dependence to independence,r and poverty to prosperity. with your help, we will elect more republicans to congress to create a safe, modern, fair, and lawful system of immigration. we will enactem trade deals that result in more products proudly stamped with the four beautiful words made in the usa. [cheers and applause] made in the usa. if you want, made in america. i don't care. what do you like better? made in america were made in the usa? go-ahead. ready, we will go made in

america. then made in the usa. what you like better, made in america? [cheers and applause] made in the usa? [cheers and applause] okay. [crowd chanting] i think we know that answer. so in 2016, we had, in my opinion, the greatest phrase in the history of politics. make america great again. right? now we are within moments, hopefully, of having, despite what you heard a few weeks ago, maybe we are heading -- they are like please, please let there be a recession. please. they're willing to give up their

results because they think it will help them win back the election. they are not going to win the election. don't forget, we are doing this and still fighting the unfairness of china and other countries on trade. what happens when that gets fixed and other things get fixed? we are setting new records and we are fighting trade deals and we are fighting military deals that are unfair to our country. think what happens when it all gets fixed. we have ourselves a country that's going to be so strong, but we had a phrase, right? make america great again. the best. i think it was maybe the greatest, but we've done a lot and now they are very close to setting a new -- i think it's the 118th time that we will have set a new record with the stock market, right? many, many times. many, many times. i can't be sure of that, media, but it's a lot. i always have to preface it

because they will do headlines, headlines, trump didn't tell the truth. they love it. i've gotten extremely cautious. so we have the greatest phrase of all time, i think even the fake news media would agree. make america great again, make america great again, maga country. okay. now, now with largely -- we still have a year and a half, a little bit less. can you believe -- can you believe it! i stood in the white house for the first lady that first night and i said, wow, look at this, that the bedroom of abraham lincoln, you have to see this. it's so perfectly done and so the way it was. the bedroom of the great abe lincoln. i mean, honey, can you believe this? that was the first night and now in less than a year and a half for the first term will be over.

think of that. i announced today that we got the soccer world cup -- that's a big thing. who else was going to do it? but we've got a problem, it's in 2026. johnny and fonte, a great guy, we announced it in front of thee press and 2026 and i said wait a minute, under the normal rules, i will be out in 2024, so we may have to go for an extra term. [cheers and applause] they are going crazy. they are going crazy. tomorrow you're going to see headlines, trump wants an extra term. i told you, i told you! he wants it. he wants an extra term, ladies and gentlemen. we told you.

we told you he's a dictator dictator! we told you. now, no. i'm only kidding. i'm only kidding. but we actually have the world cup. it's the biggest sporting event in the world, and we got it, and that's great, we are working it also with, canada, giving them somegi of the games, we are goig to have a great relationship with the world cup, a great deal. bob kraft helped me, new england patriots people, great. tom brady had a pretty good game the other night, right? [boos] and how good a coach, whether you like it or not, i know you are north carolina, but how good a coach -- in all fairness, right? is coach belichick? how good is he? right? how good isis he? i know you want to be cool, but he's pretty good, right? we have to appreciate genius. we all like genius, but we are going to achieve new breakthroughs in science and

medicine, finding new cures for childhood cancer and ending within ten years the aids epidemicic in america. that's shocking to hear that but we are going to do that. we are going to that definitely. incredible, the strides that we've made. we will defeat the democrat effort to drive up the costs of houses, cars, health care and education by liberating endlesss from their push for a job killing, soul crushing washington regulations. as an example, we are trying to get thee car companies -- going to give them a little bit of extra energy, and they will be able to build a car that consumers can buy which will be better than the car they make today and you'll save $3,500. think of that. it will be safer, it will be

better, you're going to save $3,500. it will be less costly. and we are to try and get that d done and then they were forcing you to buy light bulbs, they cost a fortune. so i signed something a couple of days ago that gives you the right to continue to use the incandescent light. i don't know about you, much -- i don't know about you, but i don't know, i'm not a vaint person. i know i have no vain people, especially these incredible ladies in the front. but i look better under an incandescent light in these lights that are beaming down. but you know, somebody told me -- as you know, they are much more expensive bulbs and for what you save, but they said that if a bulb breaks it's considered almost like a waste site, it's a very big -- the new bulbs, they are very dangerous with all of the gases and i said

well, what's the point? what are you saying? well, we are saying ifre we continue that production, they can buy whatever they want to buy, but you're going to save a tremendous amount of money and you're going to have a light that's better and there is a big danger -- in fact, they have labels, don't break his fall. what are you going to do? throw it away, i promise i won't break it. on the new one. so you will hopefully buy and wants what you can buy the old ones too and you can save a lot of money and you can even look better. we will defend privacy, free speech, free assembly, religious liberty, and the right to keep and bear arms. above all, we will never stop fighting for the values that bind us together as one america. we will be one united nation.

we support, protect, and defend the constitution of the united states. we stand with the incredible euros of law enforcement. thank you, law enforcement. we believe in the dignity of work on the sanctity of life. we believe that faith and family, not government and bureaucracy are the true american way, like you. we believe that children should be taught to love our country on our history and to always respect our great american flag. and we will live by the words of our national motto in god we trust. it will stay there. we stand on the shoulders of

american patriots who crossed the oceans, settled a continent, tames the wilderness, revolutionized industry, pioneered science, won two world wars, defeated fascism and communism, put a man on the moon and build the most exceptional country in the history of the world. we are great americans and the future belongs to us. [cheers and applause] the future belongs to you. with your help, your devotion under drive, we are going to keep on working. we are going to keep on fightin fighting. i would like to fight a little bit less but these people, they just don't stop. they just keep coming at you in waves. they are, unfortunately, not the

best people. and we are going to keep on winning, winning, winning. we are going to keep on winning. we are one movement, one people, one family and one glorious nation under god. [cheers and applause] america is thriving like never before. we may have right now the greatest economy in the history of our nation and, ladies and gentlemen of north carolina, the best is yet to come. together, we will make america wealthy again. we will make america strong again. we are doing it. we will make america safe again.

and we will make america great again. thank you, everybody. thank you, north carolina. ♪ >> tucker: the president of the united states finishing his event tonight in fayetteville, north carolina. it want to get reaction to everything we just heard from charlie hurt. he is the opinion editor of "the washington times" an offer of the fantastic book, still winning, why america went all in a donald trump and why we must do it again. charlie hurt joins us tonight. so charlie, this speech was given for a reason. if there's a special election in north carolina. two events like this have an effect do you think you might >> i think without a doubt. when you look around. at the politicians really on the both sides of the aisle, but particularly among democrats,

there's so much anger and vitriol. and that's not a good -- that can be an effective way to get voters out, but nothing compares to this kind of positive, funny, energizing stuff. and what we saw his donald trump at his best. he's so comfortable up there. he's comfortable with who he is. he's funny, he's engaging. talk about the incandescent light bulbs. i don't think is an ideologue but because he so comfortable about talking about whatever pops into his head, he windsbo p talking -- giving the best argument in favor of what i consider conservatism. it's not just fun and games. it is that, it is hilarious, but it's also the important stuff that we care about. about finding a way to limit ou government. >> tucker: his joy in giving

these speeches seems arms diminished. he seems as happy about these rallies today as he was three years ago during the campaign, or is that my imagination? >> he really is.ut president obama, he could fill one of the stadiums maybe once every four years. and then it was -- it was -- he was lecturing to us. obama was so disappointed in us. >> tucker: would let him down. >> this guy is the exact opposite. it's like going to the county fair bluegrass festival mixed with a monster truck rally and a pro wrestling fight.es you've got all of these great villains and you've got these heroes. of course he's always the hero. but it's so entertaining. and i think it's a very good thing for i our politics to have politics be entertaining again. there are so few people, especially in the, running today who can entertain five people in

a room much less a huge stadium like this, but this guy does week after week. >> tucker: really quick, one of my theories is the president uses these events to talk through what he thinks and talk through what points and what ideas resonate with voters, so after watching him tonight, what's your sense of what he's going to run on in this campaign? >> office of the most important thing to him is the economy in the economy -- part of that is winning these fights that got him elected the first time, which is ending the wars all over the place, restructuring or getting rid of these idiotic quote unquote free-trade deals that have wound up screwing over a lot of americans. if he can double down on those things, i think that the guy wins without any problem whatsoever. >> tucker: charlie hurt of "the washington times" joining us tonight, thanks a lot, good to see you. >> thank you. >> tucker: as you just saw the president campaigning in

fayetteville, north carolina, tonight, tomorrow's special election will be widely interpreted to be a test of the president's popularity going into their election but the chances will depend an awful lot on which democrat runs against him. who gets the nomination? sadly for the president come his opponent will almost certainly not be medium blogger beto o'rourke. he's pulling about 2%. that's good news for america, by the way. how do we know? watch this. this week and he spoke at a new hampshire democratic party convention. he spoke for just about 10 minutes. it was amazing how much lunacy he managed to cram into such a short period of time. he began his speech by denouncing the country's racist, as he often does come up the very beginning, he told us, america has been evil nation. >> this is a country that has been defined by foundational, systemic endemic racism since the very founding ofof this country august 20th 1619, the first time that they kidnapped

african was brought here against his will and made to serve as a to build the greatness and the success and the wealth of this country, which his descendants would never be able to fully participate in. this is a reality of united states of america and sooner or later it was going to find us. it wasn't a matter if, it was a matter of when. >> tucker: what a disgusting country this is, and because america is fundamentally immoral, americans don't deserve the constitutional liberties they've had from the verymm beginning. president beto, he said, would create a national gun registry of all firearms in the country and then use the registry to seize the firearms of law-abiding americans. >> thisg is a country that has produced the leadership that will ensure thatwi we not only have universal background checks and red flag laws and end the sale of those weapons of war, but that would go the necessary steps further as politically difficult as they may be, a gun

registry in this country, licensing for every american who owns a firearm. [applause] and every single one of those ar-15s and ak-47s will be bought back so they are not on our streets, not in our homes, do not take the lives of our fellow americans. >> tucker: the most nauseating kind of trustt fund politics but he just personifies. but really, he was only half done. that seemed like a lot of insanity to you, but beto got all of it out of the way in about 6 minutes. he went on to explain that america is so evil, so racist, that it's responsible for all of the world's problems. according to them, america has cause not support global warming, but also everything bad that makes people leave their countries and come here. listen. >> the violence, the persecution, the droughts caused not by god, nor by

mother nature, but by you and me, our excesses, our inaction in the face ofr the facts and e science, the climate change that we are producing. >> tucker: do trust funds make you decadent and stupid? beto o'rourke's existence kind of answers that question, doesn't it? but he's got ideas for us. what is the penance we need to pay for being as simple a country as we are? he says we must give amnesty to every single illegal alien within our borders right now. >> we are going to going to legalize the presence of more than 10 million in the united states beginning with dreamers, who will never again fear deportation back to a country they do not know because we will make them u.s. citizens in this, their true home countr country. >> tucker: tammy bruce is the president of independent women's voice and hosts get tammy bruce on fox nation, which is awesome. she joins us tonight. great to see you. so there something about beto o'rourke but is such a perfect distillation of ruling

class dumbness in our country -- of actual privilege, right? he speaks for an awful lot ofe. people i know and i guess my question to you is, is he aware of what he sounds like, do you think, when he gives speeches pelike this? >> effectively he sang -- this is the delusion of it, elect me as president because i hate america. there is this weird position, and it's just a more blunt position, really of all the democrats. we were talking to charlie a minute ago about disappointing obama. well, now they want to punish us because we have not stopped disappointing them. but i think that he really -- there's a pandering to and a projection of his own real opinion about may be feeling guilty for existing and for beingng born. he's expressedng his guilt at being a white man and trying to make up for it and i think a lot of this is projection.

what's brilliant about the president having -- this is what's the perfect juxtaposition about what is at stake here in the country and what the decisions are. the ultimate of a happy warrior that we see in president trump, a guy who actually does love the country for all the right reasons and wants to make it even better for all of us because we deserve it in the world deserves a strong and happy america because then the rest of the world is better. versus this horrible kind of misery that is being cultivated and the thing regarding election and just i think in life that may be trust fund people don't understand in a certain way, is that americans want a positive framework that people vote for things, they don't vote against things. and this is i think lost upon the people who don't like us. so look, he is honest about eating regenerative dirt and making other strange comments about the disconnectionot even between normal life and maybe he

thinks that's romantic or somebody in his life tells him that he's great and better than everyone else and he just believes them, but i think the democrats -- is actually the perfect representative for the democrats right now. >> tucker: he really is. he's the perfect guy for them. >> tucker: he is -- the trust fund or take themselves, which i think is legitimate, they have every reason to, but then they transfer that and assume the rest of us hate their country as much as they hate our country. >> correct. exactly. >> tucker: it's a sickness. great to see you tonight. >> thanks for having me on. >> tucker: if you have picked up a children's book recently you may have noticed that they are obsessed with diversity and woke politics. rachel came. he says it's time for that to end. she joins us, much more just ahead. ♪ ♪[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™ >> one of the biggest issues in this election is in fact

punctuate cities. mccready supports sanctuary city policies that force prisons and jails to releasess criminal alis directly into your neighborhoods. get out, go ahead. go into the neighborhood. support for sanctuary cities is disloyalty to american citizens. by the way, we are building that wall and it's going up very big. >> tucker: that was the president tonight addressing immigration at tonight's rally in fayetteville. rachel campos duffy is a fox news contributor and wife of departing congressmen sean duffy, who we had on the other night, she has a brand-new children's book. it's's title is "paloma wants to be lady freedom." great title. rachel campos duffy joins us tonight. good to see you. >> good to be here, thanks for having me on. >> tucker: so one of the points that you have made is that when you go -- my kids are older so i wasn't even aware until you set it but you go into the children's section at m a bookstore and virtually every

book isks woke. they're all political, it seems like. >> absolutely. in the case of immigration, for example, you see that there's this focus in the media on immigration, but there's also -- on illegal immigration. there's also a focus on in children's literature and on diversity, so what's happening is we're focusing so much on the things that make us different and we are not focusing on the things that unite us as americans and, yes, there is a deliberate agenda to present literature if that's woke, that's progressive, the liberal, two children. there's also a deliberate effort, i think, to conflate legal and illegal immigration and i think it does a disservice to those people who come here illegally, people like my mom, who came here as a legal immigrant, who went through the process, and it's a beautiful process and we are devaluing that process when we conflate that. >> tucker: so why do we sit back and allow our kids to be the targets of aggressive

political propaganda from people who hate us, hateeo our culture, don't like children? why do we allow that? >> it's a great question. i think often parents and grandparents, by the way, underestimate the kind of power they have over their own children to influence them. they sort of give up and that sort of surrender to that agenda and they forget that, you know, we have still a dinner table. we still have story time our in our own homes and the progressives don't have thatpr yet. so we are providing our kids with storiesit that unite us as americans, that celebrate freedom and our history and the american dream, those of the values our kids will hold onto or at least have two defend themselves against whatever is being presented to them at school and the scholastic magazine in her backpack. so i think this is a great opportunity for people whether it's my book or other books, search out those resources for your kids. don't give up, don't surrender them or outsource your

patriotism, your love of country, all thatt stuff, to people who t don't love the country. you've got to take it into your own hands as parents. >> tucker: good for you. i couldn't have put it better myself. congratulations on this book and on your new baby -- if you haven't had children you've got to start writing your own children's books. i'm glad to see that you have. congratulations, that's really inspiring. >> thank you. nice to see you. >> tucker: thank you. america has been fighting in afghanistan for almost 18 years. total cost? not exactly sure, but it looks in the neighborhood of $800 billion. have we won? no. not even close. 16 american troops have died this year, including four in the last few weeks. the president wants out. the public wants out. washington is committing to continuing this war forever and attacking anyone who disagrees as a traitor. president trump, for example, recently announced the cancellation of peace talks with the taliban. according to washington's more enthusiast, even attempting the

mostst recent. doug mcgregor is a retired u.s. army colonel, the author of the fantastic book, margin of victory, and the first person we go to for sanity on these questions. thanks a lot for joining us tonight. so you've seen the president in the last 24 hours denounced by many armchair generals in washington as a quisling -- as a traitor to his nation for considering speaking to the other side in this conflict. how do you assess that response? >> well first, the president is right. he was right in july of 2017, he was right in 2018, he's right today. we need to get out. we need to get out tomorrow. we need to cut off the funding. we need to withdraw our forces, we need to pull out the embassy staff. don't waste time talking to the taliban. anything they sign they will not honor. they are sunni islamist, we are infidels. they could care less. but as we withdraw, punishing, devastating intense air campaign against all of the heroin production facilities, the

supporting poppy fields, all of the islamist concentrations of fighters and terrorists that we can identify and make it abundantly clear that we can come back whenever we want to and devastate them. but there is nothing in afghanistan worth the life of a single american soldier. he understands l that, he's rig. he needs to overrule these people and get out. >> tucker: one of our guys who was killed theuc other day, suca poignant story, 31 years old. this was his thirdry deployment. he was first deployed to afghanistan in 2010. and it really gives you a sense of the scale of this project. it's gone on for so long. what could possibly be the justification of permanent washington wanting to stay? there is none. there you go. >> the argument is if we stay another five years, another five months, whatever it is, it doesn't matter, it could be five decades, nothing will change. there is no foundation for

societal modernization. this was never. a country, it'sa region with multiple groups vying for power. india and pakistan have been fighting over afghanistan now for many, many years. the indians are there in great strength. the iranians and the russians are keenly interested because their countries are flooded with the heroin. those countries will engage. yes, there will be more fighting in those countries will become involved because they have an interest in trying to stabilize the place. we don't. remember, osama bin laden died or was killed eight years ago. it's time to get out. mission complete. bring them home. and by the way, they can be plowed into the border wall. >> tucker: it's kind of remarkable to see people who clearly hate this country denounced the president as a traitor for wanting to meet with the taliban. is there a more disingenuous argument? >> look, anytime the president has expressed a willingness to talk to anyone that the mainstream media and people

inside the beltway don't like, whether it's iran, whether it's president putin -- it doesn't matter, they are always going to criticize him for that. in this particular case, there's no point in talking to the taliban. they are not worthy of a meeting with the president. >> tucker: yeah. worth getting out. douglas mcgregor, so nicely put. thank you very much. >> sure, thank you. >> tucker: we hope you will come back. unbelievable. a lot of angry children in c washington. angry, self-righteous children with long track records of failure. we hope if we can add one thing to the conversation it will be to remind you the people lecturing you from tall moral heights have no grounds at all. no grounds whatsoever to pretend they are morally superior to you. that's for sure. all right, we are out of time. 8:00 p.m. we are on the time every night of the week. we will be back tomorrow at 8:00, the shell that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity,

smugness, and especially groupthink. get ready for a big breaking news night here on fox news. we have a little surprise for you tonight. following the 8:00 p.m. hour is the 9:00 p.m. hour. tonight it will be originating from new york city and the man at the helm, ladies and gentlemen, mr. sean hannity. >> tucker, good show as always, great to . . is >> tucker, good show as always, great to see the president on the campaign trail. welcome to hannity. we are following tonight breaking news stories. a lot to get to during the course of this hour. we begin with the president. tonight, he was in a campaign mode. candidate dan bischoff, who was facing an upcoming election. in this particular case, the u.s. house representatives is important.as we speak, the demiy rtis not interested in passing any legislation to
