♪ >> tucker: good evening, welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." there were two special electionr in the state of north carolina, both of them billed as close races last night and in the end republicans won both of them and they won handily. in the more competitive race in the ninth district dan bishop finished substantially better than the last republican who ran during the mid terms, just ten months ago. what does that tell us? on twitter the debate is about donald trump always it always is. how much should his rally influence the out come of the election, no question it did influence it. positively. helped the republicans.po but there's another factor at play here, that's received far less attention. the democratic debates.

the debates have been televised. that means the rest of the country gets to hear what leading democrats actually believe.ea it turns out that's been terrifying to many people. we will give you examples of this but we start with this. how many people do you have to survey at the mall, park, any public place, and ask people how many would you have to talk to before you found a single person who supports giving free, tax-pair funded healthcare to foreign nationals who snuck into our country and living mere illegally? you have to talk to a lot of people before you found some one in favor of that. almost nobody in america supports that. and for good reason, it's nuts, and not something we can afford. and yet all of the major democratic candidates say they do support it. watch this. >> so you will support giving universal healthcare, immediate healthcare for all, to people who are in the country illegally? >> let me be very clear, i am opposed to anyy policy that woud

deny in our country any humanpo being from access to public safety, public education, or public health, period. >> do you believe that undocumented people should have healthcare in this country? >> i think undocumented people need to have a means by which they can be covered when they're sick. people need, this is common decency. >> raise your hand if your plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants? [applause] >> tucker: uh-huh.e] if you're middle class person who can barely afford to get fit, struggling as some one to pay the premiums on your health insurance, imagine what they're telling you. they're saying that people who aren't from here who have no right to be here, are breaking

laws by their presence evens, get ahead of you in line? that's just the beginning.ai various other times the democratic candidates said theyy want to put hundreds of thousands of criminals on the streets.g they brag about decriminalizing all illegal border crossing. embrace the form of identity politics and gender theology. they attacked america as evil and defined a person's work to find by gender and skin color, the opposite of the american dream. they have endorsed taxpayer funded abortion up to the moment of birth. here is beto o'rourke. >> some one asks you specifically, specifically about third trimester abortions and you said that's the decision left up to the mother. so my question is this, i was born september 8, 1989, and i want to know if you think on september 7, 1989 my life had no value? >> of course i don't think that. and of course i'm glad that you're here. this is a decision that neither you nor i nor the united statest

government should be making. that's a decision for the woman. to make. >> tucker: any democrat and there are some who urge the party to focus on the practical concerns of mainstream merges, anyone that says that is treated like a leper, unclear. they're met with total silence or worse get a lecture from elizabeth warren. >> why do democrats win when we run on real solutions not impossible promises? when we run on things that are workable and not fairy talee economics. >> i don't understand why anybody goes to all of the trouble running for. united states towns talk about what we really can't do and shouldn't fight for. [ applause ] >> tucker: moments like that kill on twitter. all the twitter people love it , real life they're a sure fire way to lose votes. t americans don't hate america. they know we're not a racist

country that needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. most americans are cheerful and moderate. and the polls show it. npr poll from two months ago found less than 30% of americans wanted to decriminalize border crossings. or pay out reparations for slavery. 41% wanted to replace private health insurance with medicare for all. a poll found only 18% of americans agree with beto that abortion ought to be available for any reason up until birth. in other words, the democratic party is almost perfectly in sync with the population of martha's population, martha's vineyard. the party is gravely out of step with the rest of the country and that's why they lost last nighth as well they'll lose again next november unless they stop talking like that and move to the center fast. brian dean wright is a former cia officer, a democrat. thanks for coming w on. you watch the claims and the

promises and the boasting of democrats at these debates. and compare them to the polling on the issues. it's almost as if they're trying to tank their own party. what do you think is going on here? >> a year ago, we had an advantage, democratic party hadh a substantial advantage over the republican party in terms of the generic ballot in the past year that's collapsed. let's ask the question, what has happened in the past year that would make that change? we know what happened.d. we've had the party of aoc and the squad, promising nothing but socialism and anti-semitism. we had hysteria. there is a russian in every closet. trump is a traitor. the policy solutions that we're having. they're not real. the green new deal isn't rule.

trying to ban car farts and straw? we have a multitude of issues that have happened over the past year, chuck and nancy saying we're a big pen, come in. and you are now seeing the ramifications of that. there's another fantastic poll, npr, they discuss the very fact that biden, warren, all of the major candidates, in fact all of the candidates have less popularity in the country than they do unfavorability. they are, no better than trump. what does that tell you in terms of what's happening in the democratic party?s we aren't an alternative to the president, we're an embarrassment. that is the consequence of hooking your wagon up to alexandria ocasio-cortez and her merry band of idiots. that is the consequence. >> tucker: it's a predictable one, of course. i think ocasio-cortez has things about her that are impressive, she's bold anyway. and she gets credit for that from me. but it's clear when you listen to her that she's way out of thw mainstream, most americans don't understand what she's saying, she doesn't understand what she's saying. why would you ever -- why would

an adult allow someone like that to determine the direction of the party? o sincerely. >> in north carolina they lost in the rural parts of that district. that's places where i come from in rural america. why is it that they think she'ss crazy, and mckree, frankly was moderate guy, marine, pretty moderate voice, the reason that the national democratic brand is tarnished and tarnished because of the aocs, omars, and the talibs and the rest of them. until we stop the democrats saying we welcome anybody and everybody and we say we have a spine because we want to believe in a different kind of country. not going to fall for any of the silliness on the progressive side of the party. will stand for the alternative. we want to give people a chance to vote for the party. not just against trump. we have had this for years.vo vote against obama, vote against bush. it's enough. people looking for something different and democratic party isn't giving it right now.

>> tucker: do you think it's helpful considering that we're in an election cycle right now, to blow up the democratic congressional campaign committee, the people running it are the wrong skin color? that just happened. that seems like a lunatic thing to do. why did they do that? >> if i can answer that question my friend, perhaps i would lead the party out of the doldrums, i don't know. pelosi and schumer have led this party into the gutter. only reason we're competitive al all is because trump is so combustible to so many. i and i think once the president is gone i think you'll see a very different electorate saying no thanks democrats, looking for something different. >> tucker: amazing. brian, thank you. pleasure. so the macro picture for the democratic party as this. at some point in the past 30 years the party moved from the

historic position in the party off the working man and became utterly and completely the party of guilty, rich kids. no living person personifies this shift more perfectly than robert francis beto owe roarke the product of a sinkle sexar robert francis beto owe roarke the product of a sinkle sex robert francis beto owe roarke the product of a sinkle sex boarding school and columbia university. when beto o'roark speaks he speaks for everyone, all of the liberal work his happiest denouncing his country as racist and lecturing about privilege.ra just the other day he explained that when he has president he is going to make sure that poor people move in right next door to you. >> here's a tough thing to talk about. though we must. rich people are going to have to allow, or be forced, to allow lower income people to live near them. which is what we failed to do in this country right now. what if if as we proposed to do we invested in housing closer to where you work, very often mixed income housing, the wealthiest are living next to those who are not the very wealthiest in this country to make sure they can

both afford to go to the same public schools. >> tucker: sounds like a great plan. the best part of the plan of course is that beto himself has no intention of participating in it. no one is going to put section 8 housing or homeless shelter next to beto's house.t there's no way his kids are going to high school with a bunch of poor people. k literally no chance of that happening. the real point of beto's plan isn't to bring rich people like himself back to earth, the poinl is to deny normal people the right to control their own lives. if youid would like to forest middle america be charitable. here's the interesting thing though. amazingly beto has exempted himself from that requirement. we know this for a fact because we have his financial disclosures. beto and his wife gave a total of just 0.3% of their income to charity in 2017. that's not just low by national standards, it's worse than that.

it's disgusting. it's incredibly stingy and selfish and yet he seems totally unembarrassed about it. he was asked by a reporter and he explained that his mere existence is a form of charity. >> i served in public office since 2005. i do my best to contribute to the success of my community, my state, and now my country. there are ways that i do this that are measurable and there are ways thatnd i do this that e e'measurable. they are charities we report to come others we donate to. i tell you one thing, i'm doing everything i can right now. spending this time with you and not with my kids, back home in el paso because i want to sacrifice everything to make sure we need this moment of truth with everything we've got. >> tucker: so running for office is my form of charity. that's what he's telling you. imagine saying something like

that. he's polling below 5%. democrats ought to pray that he drops out very soon. every time he opens his mouth someone, somewhere decides to vote for donald trump. democratic party is doing everything i can to keep tulsi gabbard off the debate stage. she joins us to discuss that next. we are remembering the victims of the september 11th attacks on this country. more on that after the break ♪[upbeat music]

♪ >> tucker: it's hard to believe it's been that long but today marks the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

if you remember what happened that day you remember it vividly. almost 3,000 people died. you might think they were killed by extreme interests but you're a backward k simpleton. the "new york times" says no. they tweeted, 18 years have passed since airplanes took aim and brought down the world trade center. today families are once begin gathering at the site where more than 2,000 people died. airplanes took aim? did omar write that? she could have. some airplanes did something. but at least the times is remembering the attacks at all. cnn tried to distract its audience with a brand new narrative, it just made up. on the morning show, a guy called john aslan explained it, right wing terrorism is the real threat. yeah, this after 9/11 and thousands of troops we lost in the war since it started. take those outlem at all. cnn's name for the segment was

"9/11 amnesia" describing it self, clearly. 9/11 played a critical role in the lives of so many americans, certainly in the life of congresswoman tulsi gabbard of hawaii, joining the military after it attack and served a tour in iraq, now she's running for president. congressman gabbard joins us to talk about 9/11. thanks a lot for coming on congresswoman. >> thank you. >> tucker: looking back you have had time to think about this in the country and abroad. what are the lessons for the rest of us would you say 18 years later? >> it's looking back on that day, remembering where we were, and as we observed alqaeda attacking us, seeing thousands of fellow americans killed on that day, and seeing the brave acts that these heros, first responders, put forward as theyc ran into those crumbling buildings as people tried get

out to see how many people they could save. like so many americans, it was this event that made me decide in my own life i wanted to dedicate my life to keeping the american people safe, too. finding and defeating those who attacked us on that day, andti protecting our freedoms. this is something that continued to inspire me today.et but also, we've got to recognize how much our leaders have failed us. where instead of focusing one pointedly on defeating alqaeda and affiliates and offshoots, instead they went and started waging a series of regime change wars in places like iraq and libya and the ongoing regime change war in syria. now, this has cost our country trillions of taxpayer dollars. we have lost thousands of american lives in these wars, my brothers and sisters in uniform.

to speak of the countless lives lost in other countries in the middle east. where do we find ourselves today?er alqaeda is stronger now than they were on 9/11. this is the result that we have. >> tucker: so, i have to say, i'm completely convinced that if you would leave the line about syria out, if you present that what we're doing in syria and have done in syria is wise and smart, that you would be on the stage with your fellow democrats at the debate. bringing up that point about syria has earned you the entity from a lot of people in washington the entire foreign policy , a lot. establishment. >> you know what is so interesting, tucker, if you look back around the vote for the iraq war, you know, there were some folks, very few folks who voted against that iraq war. and they were smeared, they were

accused of hating america, they were called unpatriotic. and all of a sudden, now, we are where we are today. it's become vogue for politicians to say how terrible that iraq war was. yet they lack the courage to stand up and speak the truthp today against the ongoing regime change war in syria.he that's not leadership. >> tucker: no, it's certainly not. so, how do you feel about being excluded from this next debate? >> the dnc is trying to basically send a message to the american people that they are the all powerful gate keepershe and they're the ones who have the power to decide who shouldd be considered to be our democratic nominee or not. but the reality is that voters in this country have that power. that's where i'm focused, i'm focused on reaching out the and connecting with voters.

they're the ones i'm committed to serving. >> tucker: you think that a party that believes in diversity would like to have maybe a different point of view on the issue. you have a different point of view some of the issues. >> i think that's part of the problem, with these debates, is with these 30-second answers, 60-second answers, you aren't really giving voters the chance to hear where do we stand on these issues, what motivates us why are we doing what we're doing, what experience and credibility do we bring to the job of president and the huge responsibility as serving as commander in chief. really all it becomes is an opportunity for the hostingop media network to get high ratings or make some money off of it. the whole thing is a charade. and it doesn't serve voters. that's the biggestt. problem. >> tucker: congresswoman tulsi gabbard, thank you. >> thank you.ke >> tucker: 18 years since 9/1111 as we said. many facts about what happened on 9/11 remain hidden

remarkably. many are still seeking justice. almost all of the 9/11 hijackers were not from iraq but saudi arabia. the family of several 9/11 victims are suing the saudi government, arguing the government was linked to the attacks. asking the fbi to provide documents that could prove their case.. jim kleinmer represents those families, joining us tonight. thank you. thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: this has confuse mead for years. i hope can you explain it as clearly as it can be explained. why would the u.s. government withhold documents that might plain saudi arabia's links to 9/11? >> yeah. the last administration, directors mueller, comey. obama fought against the families and maintained theam coverup to cover up the fbi's own intelligence failures. the fbi had identified the two hijackers in january of 2000 in

the united states. was monitoring them and s monitoring the saudi government officials helping them. fbi, intelligence community lost them. and 9/11 occurred. this was an enormous embarrassment to the intelligence community in the bureau and they tried to hide the truth from the families.s. moreover, president obama tried to stop the families from even being able to sue saudi arabia and show to the world how officials in the ministry of islamic affairs, and we've now identified 11 saudi government officials, identified them, the accomplices that helped mount the attacks. that was done by the last president to try and get saudi arabia not to oppose the

iron nuclear deal. for 18 years, until thisr president, you have had presidents and fbi directors who stood with saudi arabia and the families have had to fight not only saudi arabia with its trillions of dollars and enormous power but our own fbi and the last president. finally we hope that horror is coming to an end and we hope we will be able to get all of the fbi documents that reveal the investigation. fbi agents on their own initiated to identify the saudi government officials who were the accomplices of 9/11. >> tucker: that's so infuriating i'm having trouble seeing straight. >> you and me both. >> tucker: yeah, taking what you just said. our government has no right to lie to us and the families of those murdered on 9/11 to

protect the saudi government. hard to imagine a more disgusting arrangement. jim, god's speed, all of us are rooting for you. to get those documents. >> thank you. >> tucker: i hope you tell us when you do.disaeement is silene person who disagrees. the latest target, 5 million members of the nra. democrats say you shouldn't be allowed to join the nra. that is next. ♪ folios. fisher investments tailors portfolios to your goals and needs. some only call when they have something to sell. fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. and while some advisors are happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management.

should be illegal to belong to any gun rights organization. illegal. in other words, almost one-third of all democrats believe it should be a crime to openly support part of the u.s. constitution. huh. coley in the war is well versed all matters second amendment and is a frequent guest on this show and were happy to have him tonight. thank you for coming on. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: 28% of democrats polled, i'm assuming this is a real poll, reputable pollster, it should be illegal to belong to an organization that advocates on behalf of a constitutional right. what do you make of that? >> i'm not surprised. it's essentially what happens when you have a society that starts to champion the idea of emotion over intellect. we have essentially turned into a big group of mean girls. basically, i don't like what they do, like what they say, you

can't join them and be a part of them. that's all emotion. the idea of communicating and's engaging in intellectual conversation about a topic, we can't do that now. it's almost essentially a dumbfication of america. i feel i'm in a modern day version of mediocrity. >> tucker: there's a hysterical quality of a lot of conversations that aren't as you say conversations, they're more people emoting past each other getting red in the face, a lot of heavy breathing but very few reasoned arguments taking place any more. i think you're right. what should the average gun owner or second amendment supporter think about this? should we be worried?? >> i think we should be worried. you have to ask yourself the question, especially considering the idea of tagging a certain organization as being a terrorist organization. domestic terrorists, you don't agree with them. but what is the end goal? talking about organization that has five million people who are american citizens.iz

what are we going to do? are we going to round them up and throw them in prison too? and the irony is, our founding fathers were considered terrorists by way of the british government because they wanted to come and confiscate our firearms and we said no. we're dealing with elements into our own country, saying we want to prevent you from owning firearms and we'll deem you a terrorist. so you have essentially proved, they have proved the point why the second amendment is as relevant today as it was in 1791 when it was ratified, no, you do want to eliminate the idea of bearing arms in this country and you'll go to whatever extreme possible to do it, even to deem you a terrorist. we all know what we do with terrorists, it's not a good site. what is the end goal, that's the question we need to be asking. it is extremely dangerous. >> tucker: it is. and it does strike you, if you

think about it, this same group of people is siding with criminals over the law-abiding, opened our borders to foreign nationals whose names we don't know, presiding over a country that's getting dirtier and more chaotic and dangerous. exactly the point all of this is happening, you're saying you don't have the right to defend yourself. that should make us nervous. >> makes me, look, i done a whole documentary series on sanfrancisco, i could talk about it, i remember being here, i visibly remember being there. my conceal carry in texas doesn't transfer to california i was walking the street without the ability to protect myself. i didn't like it. it wasn't a very comfortable situation. can i only imagine the people that have to live there day in and day out considering the crime that's going on now. t yeah, it's a serious problem. >> tucker: yeah, i think the best response, the next time

than many governments, maybe our own government, and bigger threat on freedom thanan we've probably faced in our lifetime. they control what websites appear on the search engine and videos people see on "you tube." that's bad as is. even worse when google has a close relationship with the dictatorship of fascist china. in 2017, google opened an artificial intelligence lab in china that will power up chinese military and make them better at oppressing their own citizens. 48 states launched investigation of google, possible antitrust violations.te interesting to note one of thene only holdouts was the far left california attorney general javier bacera, showing you how real his progressivism is. siding with china over the united states. founder and ceo of americans majority, he joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. you had a great piece on this and i want to read your opening line which put everything into

context. you said, and the second quarter of 2019, google removed 500 million comments,en more thn 100,000 videos and over 17,000 channels from youtube. that gives you a sense g of the scale of the censorship at this company that they engage in. >> it's pretty staggering, tucker, when you think about it too long and the other tech theanies decided they're arbiters of free speech, they decide if there's free flow of i know you've had dr. epstein on, but their manipulation of informationg flow leads to the ability to manipulate elections as well. the other thing i wrote about, tucker, is that you see the silicon valley companies roll out social credit scores like communist china is doing. i want to remind people that the tech companies and corporations are rolling out these credit scores because they are deciding what is right and wrong. they are creating their own

moral code and then they roll all these credit scores to manipulate behavior to achieve the lineup that aligns with their worldview, faith system. i forgot when we had the conversation, we decided our republic was going to be ruled by leftist organizations creating a new constitution and bill of rights. if we're not careful we are headed toward a tech oligarchy. >> tucker: that's exactly where we're going, at high speed. california is virtually there. what i'm surprised by, and you touched on this in your piece, how passive our political class has been in the face of this. the people we elect have in fact collaborated it seems with google. why? >> i have started to call them tech collaborators. you look at 2018, they spent $64 million lobbying in washington, d.c. alone. if you go back to 2005 they spent almost $600 million. i argue they're buying the silence of elected officials and buying the collaboration ofed organizations on both the right

and the left, buying their silence, also buying their willingness to actually say good things about these tech companies.gn i think are making a total farce of freedom of speech, free flow of information. the rights that we're given in our constitution, endowed with and protected by the constitution. >> tucker: i we knew we had a problem, we had a senator from utah, chairman of the senate antitrust subcommittee, mike if there was ever a trust, it's google. i said what are we doing about google. well nothing. because free market.og that's when i thought, you know, this runs deep. >> it does run deep. it runs deep.un if you look at google and facebook alone combined they own 250 companies. i will tell you this talker, i hope they break up these monopolies and i hope these antitrust suits are successful. we have to redefine these

companies. they're operating this nebulous 230 venture from the 1996 act. they need to be defined as publishers and telecommunication companies and we need to have ae conversation and put into law protecting our rights as citizens, data sovereignty, our personal date a that's the point of government, government to protect the property of individual citizens including ourve data. >> tucker: if only our lawmakers cared about us it would be nice. thank you ned ryan, for your piece and for explaining it on the show, appreciate it.ed >> thanks, tucker, appreciate it. >> tucker: recently on the show we invited pro-life activist r david galadan to talk about kamala harris once sent the cops to his house because he madema undercover videos targeting her donor planned parenthood. >> they got a highly political search warrant to conduct a political raid on my home to seize the undercover footage. by the way, it's a law that

you're not supposed to get a search warrant to seize the unpublished materials of a journalist, citizen, professional. that's what kamala harris did at the behest of planned parenthood to protect them from increased further scrutiny for the crimes of selling aborted baby bobby hartz. >> tucker: while harris' successor has no problem with google, he has the same problem that harris does with political dissent. he's against it and crush fit he not only is he pursuingng crimil charges against galadan for the crime of journalism, but after he appeared on this show, they sought a gag order. total fascist move. as if the first amendment doesn't exist. fortunately a judge denied it. thereer is no limit to how ghoulish pro abortionists are going to be.

these tech companies which are being protected by california, they are pro-abortion. the attorney general was campaigning with planned parenthood while he was supposedly prosecuting for exposing planned parenthood. it is the dirtiest you will get and politics. basically fighting againstig investigative journalists, fighting them, prosecuting them" while protecting and getting money from the very corporation the abortion industry that they exposed. thet fact that they want to do a gag order should not surprise us.he he hates the fact that david is appearing on your program. he is getting the word out because people are realizing this is the dirtiest it gets and politics. >> tucker: becerra is totally corrupt, he's welcome on this show. >> and kamala harris. >> tucker: yes, that is exactly right. >> she started this.

>> tucker: she did. and has gotten almost no credit for it, unfortunately. very quickly, this story out of oak park illinois, a hospital had a room set aside for children to die in, beggars belief. are you familiar with this? >> yes, it's heartbreaking. nurse jill stannic testified, explaining how she held babies that were aborted and born alive and left to die in a soiled utility room. this is the face of the abortion industry in america.y meanwhile the democrats are fighting against the act at the federal level saying we don't want to provide care to little babies that provide abortion attempts. you have abortion survivors testifying saying, does my life matter? if i survive an abortion attempt should i become a victim of infanticide's in the hospitals? and the democrats are saying we don't care, you don't have the right to protection even if you survivor an abortion attempt.

it is a chilling story and shows what happens when we allow the killing of a child. in the womb that leads to the killing of the child outside the womb. >> tucker: we'll look back on this moment in shame, i believe. by the way, thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: american colleges are tremendous at pushing a political agenda, they're still propaganda, they don't see too much else, calling the english language it self racist. details ahead. ♪ - in the last year, there were three victims

♪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: every year, like clockwork, tuition rises at american colleges, but standards fall. now, at american university in northwest washington, where the price tag is $48,000 a year, professors are instructed to grade student's essays on their

perceived effort, and not on the actually quality of their work. why? it's being done in the name of promoting anti-racist language. how does this work? let the lesson speak for itself. "white language supremacy is perpetuated in college classrooms, despite the better intention of faculty, particularly in the practice of grading writing." people pay to go to a place like american university. what a joke! nicholas is a professor of politics and the host of a sports pod cast. he joins us tonight. professor, thank you very much for coming on. white language supremacy, basically, is another way of saying we won't teach the kids because it's too hard and painful. this is a very prevalent attitude. do you notice its effects as someone teaching kids every day?

>> well, what we have seen is the collapse of the entire american education system. in my classroom, we have kids take the citizenship exam on the first day of class. this semester, every single student failed that exam. i make them read the constitution -- >> tucker: i'm sorry to interrupt you. every single student in your class failed? >> it asks questions like, who is the speaker of the house? what branch of government is this? everyone failed. then it gets better. i give them the united states constitution to read. only, it's not the united states constitution. it's the russian constitution. i just replace russian federation with united states and they write 2 paragraphs. we discussed at the next class. only three students were able to identify that it wasn't the united states constitution. so, my students are coming into college with no knowledge of american government. how can you appreciate america

if you don't know america? so, i went and i looked and i researched and found the largest on-going assessment of graduating seniors. what they know and can do. only 11% are proficient in american history. 23% proficient in government and civics. 22% proficient in math. and 24% proficient in writing. and 19% proficient in geography. essentially, these are graduating seniors going into college, and the average on all subjects is 22%. so what happens is we have dumbed down the standards bear the system has collapsed. nobody wants to talk about it. nobody wants to sound the alarm bells. we are teaching kids how to take a test, and that's not a life skill. rather than teaching them knowledge and how to apply that knowledge in the real world. and that's why you see this bonehead professor who wants to make this claim that it's about

race, when it's not. it cuts across all races, all socioeconomic it doesn't matter if you are backgrounds. rich or poor. >> tucker: we are turning these kids loose into a world they can't compete in. a plumber that is only 22% proficient in plumbing? >> tucker: no. [laughs] and i don't know i am laughing. this is the future of the country. you are on the front lines of it. professor, one of the great few professors we are proud to have on the show. thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: it turns out you didn't actually make us feel better, but we are glad to know the truth. well, another hour has gone. that is it for us tonight, but we will be back, tomorrow night and every night at 8:00 p.m. eastern time. the show that is the sworn and totally sincere -- and we hope cheerful -- enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. dvr it, if you can figure out

how that works. in the meantime, have a great night with the ones you love and stay tuned for sean hannity live from new york city. >> sean: all right, tucker tucker, thank you. welcome to "hannity." it was 18 years ago today, americans faced the worst attack on american soil in the history of our great country. a group of evil islamic terrorists, they turned passenger planes into weapons of war. 2,977 innocent men, women and children were murdered in a single day. the bravest of the brave, the first responders, those firemen, those police men. they went up when everybody else went down. hundreds of brave first responders rushed into those burning towers to battle the flames. they saved the
