>> martha: jarl james mattis, live this week check it out. good night, everybody. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." possible that no single person physically embodies the spirit of corruption in washington, d.c., more perfectly than the former acting director of the fbi. in 2016, in the early days of the presidents administration, he used his power which was considerable at the stoke a witch hunt russian collusion. holding a position of public trust found public trust. he leaked sensitive information to news media for political gai gain. he was caught doing this. he was caught, he play the victim. he tried to avoid the

consequences and then because the world is not always fair, he walked right into a cushy media gig over at cnn. a company that has literally no scruples. now, things have changed. if we have reasons than i to believe that there may be a measure of justice for andre mccabe. he faced criminal charges for his conduct at the fbi. the least of this developing story we turn now to our chief correspondence intelligence, catherine. >> thank you, tucker, knaus anthony mccabe is close to prosecution the justice department rejected his last appeal. they met with the deputy attorney general to argue against idle charges for leading investigators over his role in the immediate league the foundation. fox news learned that jesse, recommended moving forward with charges. based on the findings of a 2018

inspector general reports. you mentioned the cnn contributor was fired over the findings within days of his retirement. the justice department watched him "lacks candor and at least four separate occasions." his role in the media leaks, the confirmed the fbi was investigating the foundation a week before the 2016 presidential election. they also found that he violated fbi policy because of the disclosure was not in the public's interest. rather it was the designed to benefit mccabe and push back against criticism. he was compromised because his wife took more than $600,000 from democrats for 2015 save it senate race. if last month, mccabe filed a wrongful termination to the u.s. attorney's office is not commenting on any pending actio. legal experts say that today's deal, and offer testimony against fbi and justice department officials. tucker. >> tucker: quite a story.

catherine harris, thank you for that. future updates on this developing news. now, you would imagine if you ran a news network and one of your hires, one of your employees turned out to be criminally liable for lying you might be embarrassed. they're not embarrassed over at cnn. just today, jeff toobin who works over there, scrambled to his defense. watch this. >> andrew mccabe is a colleague and friend to many of us who work here. as is an extremely unusual prosecution. andy mccabe had the right to speak to reports. he also had a impeccable record as a honorable fbi agent of his generation. it's a very difficult understand, even easier. the alleged lie. >> tucker: the alleged lie. the alleged propaganda, you're getting from cnn. imagine if that chance at msnbc

to too, apply that same level of skepticism to the news. how about to the russia hosts? they might not have wasted to go full years what would be a completely fraudulent story. hosting justice, she was also absolutely author of the new book "radicals, resistant, and revenge." it's up to "the new york times" list. give us the play, your andrew mccabe, would you face in? >> you realize that the grand jury that was investigating him was a call back, it's been called back because of the upper echelon of the fbi the deputy attorney general has made a decision they will be accountable for the charges that the inspector general has recommended. what we don't know, tucker, whether that will be national charges. we know that lying to an inspector general, lying to the

fbi, at least three times under oath and four times, people are not mentioning is, he was given the opportunity to take it back because they knew what it was. he was so arrogant, he didn't want to take it back. if this is the first of many to fall and i talk about this in my book when we talk about rats concerning the show. now, the cap intersect, i heard for the first time, they are waiting to see what's going to happen. who's going to point the finger at home now. now there's a lot of at stake. they know now that the eternally general, bill barr is serious the amazing part of this, jeff toobin over at cnn trying to spin this, i wonder how many people that he was remake amended the michael mike recommended the prosecution, that he will probably be indicted for. as well, he should be if it means that that's true. he's presumed innocent, that the

innocence surrounds him. but this would be the first of many. what they did at the fbi, in an attempt to overthrow a sitting presidents, and the counterintelligence investigation, at that level. even bill barr, the attorney general, said it's just doesn't hang together. i think it's going to be one of many. >> tucker: what so striking about the story? you know, the first time in memory, in recent memory anyway. that i can recall someone from permanent washington, from the permanent office he, official class, being held to the same standard holding someone else. if so there's a lot of people who've been caught up recently and criminal investigations because they lied. nobody from the fbi has since i can remember them. can? >> jeanine: no i can't but you can see the drumbeat has been so consistent out there. the american people are just they're not looking for anyone in particular. if they need to know that lady

justice is blinded. if that you're above the law or below the law, it doesn't matter. you are entitled the same level of justice and i could be-i could be an exoneration. it has gone for far too long. we know that russia pollution of the dilution, know that it was just that. delusional. the mainstream leaks from the fbi continue to spin that we realize that this country was fractured because people like andre mccabe wanted to spin the best ignition, start the claim the special counsel that donald trump was colluding. they use their positions of power that we entrusted to them and they broke the law that we gave them the authority to recommend prosecution four. this is the ultimate test of the american justice system. god, i'm hoping, that it works.

>> tucker: yes, he's a dirty took delma cobb. it liberals used to despise dirty cops. not anymore apparently. thank you. returning champion. on the 2019 campaign trail, almost everybody running for president as a democrat is upset about something called assault weapons. watch. >> millions of these assault weapons, weapons of war, they are potential instruments of terror. we need a renewed assault weapon ban. ban the sale and distributional of assault weapons. >> i'm not the only guy that wants assault weapons bans, and the number of clips and the gun band. >> the universal background check and a renewal of the assault weapon ban. >> tucker: so, millions of americans own these rifles. if the so-called assault weapons. none of those americans are chemicals

criminals. they're mostly peaceful people. immigrants running for president's, subthemes weapons must be banned as immediately not even the sale of them like we saw in 199n and administration lawmakers now say they're going to seize this weapons from law-abiding citizens and take them away by force. if joe biden is the moderate democrat in the race, and compose that without apology lat month. a watch. >> gun owners out there, who say well, by the demonstration means they're going to come for my guns. you're right if you have an assault weapon. if the matter of fact, they shouldn't be legal. period of the second amendment it doesn't say you should restrict the kinds of weapons yn dude you can buy a bazooka. >> tucker: all rights, the constitutional lecture from joe biden. if it does leave unanswered the essential questions in the

question, you're going to bandit, what is it? that means nothing. by the way, that phrase is so political, no news organization, no religion meant news organization should be used for military style these are not guns the u.s. military or any other military and the world. what does it mean, assault weapon? congress needs to apply answer. they're backing a bill that they would ban assault weapons in america. the power in washington, that could assume that would likely become law. what does the law do? its definition of assault weapon is almost 1700 words long, we read it today. it includes dozens of specifically named firearms including the ar-15 rivals. some use for deer hunting. yes, it's used for hunting, joe biden. like the original assault weapons ban from 1994, the new

one includes definitions designed to ban minor features that make an effective gun look scary. a semiautomatic rifle, regard list of how powerful it is, will be banned. if i detachable magazine and one other feature that house democrats appear to be frightened by. it's a forward grip for a burial shroud. or a dreaded barrel for attached suppressor. none of those makeup gun more powerful or deadly, their cosmetic features. if they don't make it for a military style but they do make them illegal under this law. handguns, are targeted the same way. the bill would ban any semiautomatic handgun, pistol, that weighs more than 15 ounces. the gun doesn't have to do anything else. the pistol being heavier than democrats think it should be makes it a military style assault weapon. are you catching on your? this is all made up. if this is a gun bill written by people who know nothing about guns. it's. they don't just got tote guns, even shotguns are listed.

the bill would ban any semiautomatic shotgun with a revolving cylinder. by the way, there aren't many shotguns with a revolving cylinder. it would mean that the nt called 1885 shotgun is now banned. because it's a military style assault weapon! the real villain for democrats is in guns i'm a actually bullets there bill would ban any for a firearm that would held any 14 or 15 rounds. this law would only apply to you. it would not apply to the people writing it. our exalted leaders in washington would be as safe as they always have been. they don't need to carry guns. they have bodyguards. bodyguards pay for it. by the guards will be armed just like they always have for, with guns at these people are going to ban. it guns they say you don't needt but somehow they need to.

how does that work? we will ask joe de blasio when he came to the show last week. as a powerful person, he deserves protection that you're not allowed to have. >> the military grade assault weapons, those just don't belong in the hands of everyday people. >> tucker: would you subject your body guards to the same limitations as other american citizens? you got body guards living at your house, i know some of the body guards your house. if they have magazines, i can protect my family with, does not bother you as a champion of a real guy? >> tucker, somebody in public service for a limited time, the society we are living on, what's up stomach public servants are vulnerable to violence. a lot of people are vulnerable. it's going a lot of us are vulnerable. >> tucker: the guy delivering baked goods to the bodega at 3:00 a.m. in the morning, he doesn't protect himself because his job isn't important enough.

but bill de blasio, who works like eight hours a month, he needs bodyguards with guns that you're not allowed to have because his life and the lives of his family members are way more important than your life. oh, i get it. of protection me but not for the. it really is our governing release do not believe in a nutshell. bottom line. lawmakers have to live by the same standards they imposed on anybody else. they believe you should not be protected by firearms, it's really, really simple. matt gaetz is a member of congress, representing the state of florida and he believes it's that simple. he joins this tonight. congressman, this printable can beprinciple can be applied to a lot of different issues. why wouldn't the law contain a clause saying that nobody is allowed to have its family

protected with its weapons? >> why, you ask. congress exempted itself from insider trading laws, and i got people who lived behind the walls but don't want the american people to have that same security and even the firearms that are used by the people to protect members of congress could be deemed unlawful under some of the bills that are introduced by democrats. i think there ought to be personal consequences for lawmakers to stand between the american people and a second amend its rights. you know what, if military style assault right rifles should be on the streets, let lawmakers who have personal security details be the first ones to step up to the line to offer their buyback. >> tucker: amen. we are further getting lectured, you don't need this, why would you need that weapon? you don't need that protect that, really, okay. if you don't either. how dare -- i mean that sincerely, i know most ever get mad, how dare somebody look into

a screen and say you don't need that weapon, but i do. speak up washington is a city surrounded on all sides by reality. lawmakers in washington too often believe that they are vulnerability, their unique circumstances are subject to special treatment because frank lee look, we've all got staffs, how smart and funny and had seen him, we. it's ludicrous. frankly, if they had to go hopkinton, they want to make sure they have a successful hunt. >> tucker: that's a good point. how draft dell my card would be to draft is piece of legislation >> outlook, i don't know if nancy pelosi would move such a bell but your giving me some good ideas to put on the floor. fortunately, we have enough for a second amendment in the senate these bad democrats gun control bills are deader than a

joe biden political rally by the time they hit the underside of the capital. >> tucker: it would be nice to hear them explain. at least, l de blasio, was willing to address it directly. my life is more a part of. i give them credit for being not honest. but congress members be bold enough to defend? >> look, we just need to accept the notion that the law-abiding gun owners need nothing. they may come safer all around this great country, and prickly, it's just going inside washington, d.c., and some of the other urban hyper liberal centers where they want to deprive the rest of americans their rights that are causing harm to anyone. >> tucker: nicely put. very nicely put. thank you for coming on tonight. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: doesn't need to pass laws to take away your freedom. the voters want surrendered their guns, though simply remove

your rights in any way with awoken capital. a letter targeting the banks and credit card companies, they're not going that anticonsumer practices, they denounced credit card companies for charging exorbitant rates and destroying people's lives and trapping them in a lifetime of debt. they're actually killing the middle class. he doesn't care about that whatsoever. instead, he wants to use the power of credit card companies and these banks to rollback gun rights. beto's letter, by assault weapons, thanks he says ought to refuse baking services to any copy that makes guns that beto doesn't like. again, beto is taking this side. somebody should. no. he sang, team up with me against your own consumers.

the most powerful combinations to keep people from doing some thing that's completely legal. at the second amendment is not enough or beto, he's upset too. in other words, if the ideas that beto's doesn't like, he wants to make certain you're not allowed to police them. while this might strike you as, i don't know, antidemocratic? yes, it is. that's the point. beto isn't a supporter of democracy, virtually nobody in washington is buried he's not honest to admit this in this letter. "america can't afford to wait for a new president or for congress to take action." in other words, democracy is practice for the last 240 years, isn't giving beto the power he wants. so democracy needs to be ignore ignored. the capital is much easier, by the way, it's great for the welcome capitalists two. today, 145 ceo's signed that

demanded. why they do that? they know these deals come out the as long as they mouth the platitude of the left wants them to loud and kiss the ring once in a while the left post criticizing them for getting richer as america could score they know that the left can be bought off. get beto the power he wants and they will make you as rich as you want. in beto's america at some fiber them to exploit ordinary people, they have no problem with payday lenders i can tell you that. they help center and disarm you. quite an arrangement. it's a lot of potential for the democratic candidates. in order to get back into the conversation, she did a bizarre artistic stunt that involves her emails and a big oval office. so weird that of course were going to coverage. we're doing it anyway.

[ growl ] good boy. hey. hey. you must be steven's phone. know who's on your network

and control who shouldn't be with xfinity xfi. simple. easy. awesome. ♪ >> tucker: ten candidates are meeting in houston for the third democratic primary debate. if it's a first time they will all be on stage for the first time. at the minor is giving a lot attention to joe biden who at least in the polls, for being the front runner. of course should to be running for anything except for president of the local senior center, but that means is going to be asked questions. officials say he's running up a list of five questions they want asked by then the debate, such a

great thing to have him on to discuss it. thanks a lot for coming. >> thank you for having me, tucker. >> tucker: what are the questions that they aren't asked ask biden? >> joe, how is asthma doing? because as everyone is familiar, 1968 to joe biden received five student brett don't want draft and classified as ineligible to military service because of his asthma. it's kind of curious because during his autobiography, joe mentions his high school athletics and how he was a lifeguard. to get some point he said and high school he would've taken just don't like donald trump and find them behind the gym. would like to know how joe's asthma is doing at this point given that it kept him out of the vietnam war. if you, thoughts and prayers. >> tucker: thoughts and prayers, good question. lets one, i love it. >> second, a question is, joe, what's your secret? in the last year, and 2015

announcing his candidacy, joe biden has made $15 million more money than he and his wife made in the previous 19 years. now, most of that money is in the form of a book advance. we are all aspiring novelist, aspiring writers. i'd like to know what joe has done to write a book that is worth $15 million. now, a or as the public hasn't sold all that well. he said it works out to $33 a copy. joe's pockets, even though on amazon right now it's 1399. if there's a suspicion that joe may be paid more for his potential as the next president then his skill as an author. maybe some tips for us, tucker. >> tucker: that's an amazing accounting job. a little forensic accounting. >> joe's -- of the next question would be for higher education costs is that a serious issue in the 2020 campaign.

i guess, you might be a little cheek and asked you how these contribute to raising the cost of higher education. rephrase that, joe whose worth $200,000 to listen to? he made $3 million speaking at college universities, church and close to $200,000 each time for a 20 minute speech. that's quite a lot of wisdom packed into a very small span of space. again, kind of reminded of the other democratic candidates, hillary something who was called out by uncle bernie for making speeches to goldman sachs and other people. for large sums of money. i guess, it's illegal to hand someone a bag of cash in order to become their best friend but it seems to be okay to make -- give them the money for a speech. the question on that, we might take on if joe was still conscious at the end of that answer would be about what about

travel? joe charged his speakers bureau $10,000 to go to buffalo and $50,000 to go to michigan. that's either a lot of room for padding -- he's padding his extensors and pocketing a little bit as -- >> tucker: for 500 bucks. five years like that, all of peter van buren's stuff is on the facebook page. it's very funny. >> it's fantastic from joe as well. >> tucker: it's all laid out. great to see that, they can for that. >> you very much. >> tucker: for all of 20 16 and since then hillary clinton has been begging america to just of forget abour emails. it's because that use of my email account was turned into to make a scandal and lord knows when. they covered it like it was pearl harbor. >> tucker: this week, clinton appears to be reversing the course and the straightest way

possible. on tuesday, she appeared at an art exhibition in italy. destination features, office, with the putting staff of the emails recovered in our private server. hillary clinton spent an hour at the exhibition sitting and reading her emails and declaring "boring." it wasn't boring. it was weird as hell. that's why we pick up the red phone and call mark steyn. brought them here to explain what just happened. or, would you make of this? >> i think as bernie sanders side, whatever it was, four years ago. i'm sick to death of your email emails. that's the point, by the way, that bernie lost the democrat nomination. unlike trump, the low energy job, he liked the killer instinct. i think everybody, -- i think bernie's right though. of the democrats are sick to death of your emails. so hillary turning herself into

a piece of performance arts and going out to the venice of alley in italy and sitting behind a replica of the oval office desk with everything a printout of her emails. we're going to remember about this, tucker, she actually called the venice and told them i happen to be in the neighborhood. i don't know if i'm in monte carlo, or wherever that was, an end i come and be part of it? that shows a woman who simply refuses to get off the stage no matter how many books they try to pull her off with. >> tucker: it does seem a little strange because even her husband, a mostly famously lovd affirmation, he is receded from the public view in effect

retired. hillary clinton, you would think with her grandchildren. why she doing this? >> i think -- i don't think she has given up. somebody picking up the phone after a couple months after debate, joe biden is saved saga, lifeless, he's the front runner, not enthusiastic. he's exactly where she was 40 years ago. at this stage, hillary is dreaming -- we need you to come back about hillary. third time's the charm. we are all desperate for you, writing for you. if she's got the book out. again, it's releasing the start of the presidential season. she is happy when she is sucking up biden's airtime and bernie's airtime. and elizabeth warren said, and the 27 role. that's why she's doing it. she's filtering that's all to

come. >> tucker: you are totally right. it's clearly true. mark steyn, great to see you. thanks for that. >> thanks a lot, tucker. >> tucker: a number of well-publicized, the trump administration is now willing to crackdown on vaping. what are the real risks of vaping, is a thc, nicotine, or both? is a confusing story, but of very important one. dr. marc siegel joins us to figure it out to. ♪ build attendance for an event. help people find their way. fastsigns designed new directional signage. ...and got them back on track. get started at fastsigns.com.

>> tucker: not a lot of high school students smoke cigarettes, but doesn't mean they're often negative. the uc cigarettes, at least once. recently, there has been scary news on this front. six bill have died and when hundreds have died or profoundly ill. that's a long link of bonuses

that appear in accordance with vaping. they ban all flavored e-cigarettes. nationwide. the jewel brand, i think that's the biggest. but is it a threat from e-cigarettes, is it a threat from thc pens? or something else? dr. marc siegel is a we go to untitled minutes medl mistry's like this. >> i think close to 400 cases were talking about people who got very sick and most likely related to cannabis oil or thc pens that were talking about. those are largely illegal, and in states where pot is illegal, by the way, their unregulated. their heavy metals in there. if there's a vitamin d extract which when you inhale it can cause problems with the lungs. this underlies one big problem we have which is the unregulated

marijuana or cannabis industry and in this case, manifested by vaping. i think we should take that under the equation and terms of the other issue which is what is facing our youth. clearly, a lot of our youth are in cannabis oil and the getting sick. can people hospitalized and very sick and close to 400 400 cased 2019. in terms of thc as well, the other issue. >> tucker: reaching back, to the responses, the illnesses that they're getting? what are they exactly? >> this is a very scary illness, they get a sudden cough and chest pain. shortness of breath. a fever there hospitalized right away. they end up in intensive care, responding to respirators, steroids, it's not contagious. it's not an infection. antibiotics don't work, steroids work. again, the respirator works so most of the time you can save the patient. but again, this is been a

wake-up call for a completely unregulated thc and cannabis oil vaping product. again, all vaping has not been properly studied yet. this is probably the worst of it. trying to get the cannabis oil into the lungs, and thickening it adds toxins. >> tucker: we should be clear, as far as i'm aware, there's no systematic law underway to regulate or ban. >> great point, tucker, not even states where marijuana is even medically available for recreational use. we talked about the side effects like the psychosis associated with marijuana. the compass ocean is getting involved with, is another issue that the national youth tobacco survey came out and said of the one quarter of high school students that are vaping, guess what, 70% of them are vaping for the flavors that they're getting. this is regular statements like

kills me because i want to hear this explanation of how we got here. >> the fact is, females do prefer marrying alpha males. we are living in a culture that is trying to obliterate alpha males and create an alpha female. every single cultural message is sending to males that they are toxic and we have an outpouring of philanthropic effort, to try to promote managers. they are paid based on how many managers they promote. we are promoting you go girl managers in stem and males are being told that they are toxic and responsible for rate culture. this isn't to excuse male checking out of the economy, but we have to be very realistic. what we are creating here is a systemic culture of contempt towards male success and that has got to have an effect.

>> tucker: how does this help women, in the end? >> it only helps women if you believe the idiocy that strong women can do it all. it certainly doesn't help children because children need mothers and fathers, but it seems like most females are simply involved in this crusade based on anger and resentment that they not just have to be equal, but to crush men and that is absurd. there are male virtues of chivalry, drive, risk-taking, that have given of civilization, and we are going to have no civilization left. >> tucker: that is exactly right. gender roles are the building blocks of any society and we have let a small people of unhappy people destroy hours and tamper with the formula. you have chronicled this better than anyone. heather mcdonald, i am always grateful when you are on show and i hope you will come back. thank you very much.

>> thank you. >> tucker: we are out of time. we will be back tomorrow night. 8:00 p.m. the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, groupthink. >> sean: a busy news night. we begin with the fox news alert. the department of justice has now paved the way for former deputy fbi director andrew mccabe to possibly be indicted. tonight, fox news has learned federal prosecutors recommended moving forward with criminal charges against mccabe after his last minute appeal was officially rejected. mccabe was one of the second highest ranking members of the fbi. the interim director after jim comey was fired and mccabe was jim comey's right-hand man and he was trusted to oversee some of the highest profile cases in the bureau and in the country. in 2018 andrew mccabe was fired. why? for lying and for leaking.
