well i don't know what you'd wanna buy cause i'm just a guy on your tv. esurance. it's surprisingly painless. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." so the canadian prime minister m justin trudeau got caught wearing black face and a lot of people are pretending to be very, very surprised. but are you really surprised? in fact, he probably could have guessed it, actually. it's a little like finding out that your supersensitive brother-in-law, the one who tells you he's a feminist, the one who's always scolding you for your sexism, is in fact hitting on the babysitter. of course he's hitting on a babysitter. the virtue is always a cover for the sin. that's the key to understanding the modern left. whatever they're accusing you of, they are doing themselves, but more enthusiastically.

and that's definitely the story ouof justin trudeau. like your brother in law a ponytail, trudeau brags about being a feminist, use the wrong word in his presence and he will launch into a self-righteous oscture. justin trudeau may be the most sanctimonious head of state on planet earth, so of course he was leading a secret life as a racist. that's why he's so sanctimonious, so you won't notice. turns out there are now at least three separate instances of justin trudeau wearing b black face and as he conceded today, there could absolutely be more. >> you left us with the impression it was only one other incident and since then global news has released the video which seems to show there is at least a third instant. exact way how may times have you darkened your skin with makeup in and ask that you hurt yourself i described as racist? >> i shared the moments that i recollected, but i recognize that it is something absolutely unacceptable to do. and i appreciate calling it

makeup, but it was black face. >> tucker: unacceptable. but he did it at least three times, maybe more. how many times have you wore black face? probably right around zero. try nott to be drudgery here or anything, but even adjusting for youthful indiscretion, three times on camera, that's a lot. that's an awful lot, actually. what's going on with justin trudeau? well it turns out, and he explained this today, that justin trudeau suffers from and especially their own case of something called privilege. >> i have always acknowledged that i come from a place of privilege, but i now need to acknowledge that that comes with a massive blind spot. >> tucker: got that? white privilege is the problem here. that's his explanation. if you're not listening carefully, it might sound like justin trudeau just took responsibility for what he did. but no, just the opposite.

he transferreden it. when trudeau blames privilege, he's moving was possibility for what he did to the rest of us. in other words, i did something awful because society itself is rotten. therefore, and this is the key, therefore i need to keep telling you howit to live your life. if it's not a confession, it's a justification. and the only people dumb enough to buy it by the news media. of course. the dumbest people in the world. over at cnn, for example, john lemmon was deeply impressed. >> wow, it seems odd, doesn't i it? because we have one who doesn't but he says he didn't think it was racist at the time, now he knows better, what you think of that? >> i do have to say this before we go, think about this however you want to think about it. when someone apologizes, wow, we

don't often see that here, especially a world leader who is saying i should have known better and i'm sorry.we you can feel about it however you want, but that -- to me that does mean a lot. i got to go, thank you. >> tucker: it means a lot to too dominant. it really does. what a difference a year makes. if you can remember all the way back to one megyn kelly of nbc found herself under attack and pretty much the same way, the difference was that megyn kelly never wore black face. she wouldn't do that. she's not justin trudeau. she just made the mistake of not seeming quite s offended enoughn a tv segment by certain halloween costumes. for that crime, don lamont told us she must be destroyed. >> going to beme honest, she's 7 years old, she's our age, there has never been a time in her 47 years that blackface has been acceptable. i wonder how much diversity she has on her staff, know but i imagine there's not a lot.

this is what people of the largest culture don't understand about racism and about privileg privilege. >> tucker: keep in mind -- this is universally true. it was true of jimmy spider, true justin trudeau and probably true of don. the more sanctimonious you are, the more you're hiding. if you want to know was up to no good? look at the people who are tugging their chin and saying i would never do that. and yet suddenly don went from that, i wonder how much diversity she has understaffed, too i'm so glad that justin said sorry. did he have a change of heart? is he now a forgiving man? or could it be that because justin trudeau is a powerful leader on the left, he gets a pass no matter what he does. i think you know ther answer, because of course you've seen it before. earlier this year the governor of virginia ralph northam was caught wearing black face.

actually it was a clan hood. he still won't tell us which it was, but whatever it was, he was wearing black face or a clan hood, a liberal democrat decided he didn't need to resign over it. the left pretended to care for a few minute, we are so upset, and then they forgot the whole thing ever happened. northam himself said the incident showed, and important, wounds in virginia. what he did showed deep wounds in the whole commonwealth of virginia. in other words, it northam wasn't guilty of anything, blackface or a clan hood, it was the people of virginia who were responsible. they had the collective guilt that guilt could only be executed by giving ralph northam more power, because that's what it's always about, always. it's about power. when you make a mistake, it means you're a sinner sinner and you must be -- you probably don't have enough diversity in your office, but when they screw up, it's society's fault, meaning it's your fault. so they got you coming and going. it's pretty nice, it's a good

creek. being m woke means never havingo say you're sorry. dave rubin host the rubin report on youtube and is one of probably the world's reigning experts on sanctimony. and a great opponent of sanctimony to his great credit and he joins usig tonight. what's the lesson here of justin trudeau? >> you really cleaned that intro up at the last second, thank you that. first off, over the web we weave when we call everyone else a racist. look, your intro there was absolutely on point. no one really thinks at this very moment that justin trudeau is a racist. but byby the rules that the woke left, the progressives have sold us and forced on us, actually, he must now be takenn down. his own people have to take him down and it so interesting because yes, his comment where he then tries to link his mistakes in the past -- with all worn costumes, halloween is

coming. i would say rastafarian when i was in sixth grade. i didn't do it in blackface but i did have dreadlocks, which that is cultural appropriation, right? i was a jedi multiple times, i'm not really a jedi and what comic relief, i would like to be. but the point here is these are the rules they have set and we know, we know without question that if this was someone on the right, they would be going for blood. the knives would be out and they would be trying to take them down. i thought that was a really brilliant comment by maxine bernet, who is running against justin trudeau actually in the canadian elections, f from the people's party of canada, he says i'm not going to call justin trudeauhe racist, but i will call him the biggest hypocrite in the country. and i think for those of us that wn now see this -- for those of us that can now see this for what it is, we have to make a decision and it's either do we let him slide, which is kind of what we want because we've all lived lives, with all make mistakes, we know that we are time, or doof our

we finally say no, these are r e rules that you set and you guys have to get out of the way. why is ralph northam still governor of virginia by their rules? not by marbles, not by yours, by their rules. and that's what we have to start figuring out, how are we going to play this game instead of always reacting to a? >> tucker: maybe the deeper question --ee i will leave you n this, i'm interested to what your response is, why do we allow hypocrites to make our rules you met why are we obeying their rules when they clearly have no moral authority to make them? >> will look, that's a great question and the real reality of it is that with the left has done is set up a bunch of fake rules by people who never played by those rules in their own life. and i say this as someone -- i was aiv progressive, so i know what this thing is, right? and they set these roles up and they will tell you you're a racist your homophobe and you are a bigot and all of these things and it's not true. these accusations are actually

starting to crumble because we are often seeing that they are the ones for the racists and bigots, they are the ones that right now are obsessed with skin color and obsessed with gender and sexuality. nobody on the right is, but what we have to do is figure out a unified way i think for those of us that are free thinking, dasically, we have to figure out a unified way to fight it because these are the same people, by the way will call you a racist, who call me a racist, would love to get all of us off the air and in fact they're the ones that are actually ceding the ground with these ideas. >> tucker: are not even interested in the subject. i don't think you are either. i find it complete with boring. you're absolutely right, whatever they are accusing you're doing is what they're doing. great to see you tonight, thank you. >> thanks, my friend. >> tucker: former president of the liberal party of canada, we are happy to have a montenegrin thanks very much for coming on. it's a little bit striking for the american perspective. if this were, i don't know, pick someone, boris johnson, who had been caught three times in

blackface, the american media would be calling for him to step down immediately. they are not calling for justin trudeau to step down, why do you think that is? >> i think the canadian media has always been awed by trudeau because his father was a prime minister of canada, the name by .that and they are a little timid. there's no question, i call it today in canada for the media to be tougher on him, traveling with him on his plan, they never ask the tough questions but i just heard your interview and your guest was absolutely right. trudeau is known as the biggest hypocrite in canada. it's not his privileged background, he is a hypocrite. he is fake and he is like a lot of worldwide liberals donated money to all the causes. it's due as i say, not as i do. and he's only sorry because he got caught. 20 years ago that he did this. he's not sorry, he's sorry that somebody called him out. >> tucker: it does seem a

little odd three times on video or in photographs wearing black face, that's an' lot of blackfa. i don't think that blackface is a particularly canadian tradition.ve he's got to be way above average for canadian blackface, no? >> well, he is an actor he's been acting very, very well for the last four years, a number of people saying we had enough of this, but what also is going on, as i also heard you say in your intro, he's a feminist. he likes to say i'm a feminist and he hits with people all the time. last year a young reporter came out and said 18 years ago he groped her. he has fired people for less than that.th he has -- >> tucker: of course! would you let your daughter ate some guy who called himself a w feminist! no, because he's agree. bill clinton was a big feminist, so was ted kennedy. he killed a woman. if feminist alarm bells go off when they start saying that. stephen, great to see you y tonight. i hope you keep pushing her media. >> pushing the media and pushing

against hypocrites. >> tucker: amen. those are two worthy causes, great to see you tonight, thank you. wearing blackface a decade ago was big news, in part because the entire western world has become obsessed with identity politics. top democrats in particularnn ae going -- we could give you a thousand exams, we just picked a couple out of the been buriedd during a recent rally in new york city senator elizabeth warren castro from her campaign is one that excludes men. listen too this. >> i am especially glad to be here in washington square park. i wanted to give this speech right here and not because of the arch behind me or the president that this square is named for, no, we are not here today because of famous arches or famous men. in fact, we are not here because of man at all. [cheers and applause] >> tucker: yeah. because you don't have fathers or anything because biology is not real.

georgia conspiracy theorist meanwhile an inevitable vice presidential nominee stacy abrams is explicit about how much she loves identity this.cs, watch >> identity politics, i will be in identity politics. i t believe identity politics ae the only politics that can win. you have an identity too. >> tucker: so what's driving this obsession with identity politics and is there any way out of it, this vortex? no one has thought more deeply and douglas murray. he is the author a book that you have gotut to read. it's called the madness of crowds, gender race and identity, it just came out. i was up late leaving it last night and it's fantastic. thanks so much for coming on. >> it's a real pleasure. >> tucker: 's identity politics pushes so many emotional buttons and people that it's very hard to step back far enough, as you have in his book, to consider what it means, what's the point of this, why are they doing this? why are they doing it?

>> well, there are severalal reasons. different groups of people who are responsible. there's one group or just pushing this because th is naked politics and i take each of these issues one by one. i do women, race, and trans and each of these ones you see the naked route politics at some point. for instance, you get the thing where there are gay people who are conservative and therefore denounced by the space express ag no longer gay. i had that again this week in america. then you get women who have the wrong politics, i.e. conservative, and they are sent no longer to be feminist. you have black americans will have conservative politics and are denounced as no longer black. and this keeps happening and at those points you see that's just naked politicking. you are using identity groups to batter down a political point and that's undoubtedly the case

there lot of people but are other things going on here too. one of them are show in the book is just a continuation of an old marxistno idea. you know, there were from a foster 70s '80s onward, a group of people, marxists and post-marxists for whom the working class have left them down. if the working class never did come up with a revolution inn america. they wanted to get these new groups, as they saw them, identity groups, ethnic identity groups, raciall identity groups, minority identity groups. they want to these people to all be brought together to further and actually this time bring about the revolution that the working class proved such a loser for them on. so there are several things but those two i think are the most irnicious and the problem i have with this, i will just say, is that a lot of young people now are growing up in america, are being lied to, that this is actually about virtues. but this is actually how they should spend their lives, that

they should spend their lives pursuing this zero-sum game, it is zero-sum game. gays against the straight parlors, women against men, all ethnic groups against each other, trans against absolutely everybody, and this is just a terrible way not just to do politics, but a horrible way to spend your life, and we have to make sure the next generation of young americans that are being wooed into this are wooed out of it. of >> tucker: it does seem like an inexorable recipe for division. i mean, at its core, this politics is telling you to hate people on the basis of qualities they can't control. i was that resolved? how can you fix that? doesn't that always end up in the worst possible place? >> we have to point out the game they are inviting us all to play cannot be won. c i just cannot be played, it specifically cannot be won. they do this privilege game. if you know, people suffer from

privilege and therefore -- there's an example in britain earlier this week with the guardian, the main left-wing newspaper, said that david cameron, the former prime minister may have experienced pain in his life like the loss of his eldest son, the death of his eldest son but it was only privileged pain he'd ever felt. imagine that. >> tucker: i can't imagine that. speaker you're trying to make a political point about privilege in order to bring some people down and you decide it was one of the lucky ones, he lost his eldest son because he's rich. this is the disgusting antihuman position that people get to if they go down this route. they end up being profoundly antihuman and, you know, i just think that again, we have to show people that these are not games that can be played or won. you can never work out where exactly somebody's privileges. justin trudeau is an incredibly privileged person. in all sorts of ways.

all of these people are playing this in american politics now, elizabeth warren is by any stretch of the imagination unbelievably prejudged. >> tucker: but she is lecturing on yourpr privilege. douglas murray, come back, i hope you'll join us once more, the madness of crowds, i recommend this book personally, it's fantastic. congratulations on that, thank you for coming. >> thank you. >> tucker: well, chicago has done what beto wants, issued a complete ban on assault weapons. but mysteriously it hasn't stopped chicago from being america's murder capital. why? we will investigate.ei plus, it's thursday, that means it's final exam, we will be right back. ♪ ♪[upbeat music]

of their family members. corey morgan, accused of standing watch while the boy was standing -- their defense attorneys are trying to pet them against each other. here's cory lorenz moyer, watch. >> that execution of that 9-year-old boy has to come from one singularly evil person. not from a plan. >> it turns out, after the shooting, dwight doty wrote a song we jokingly referred to him as shorty, with a lyric that reads "shorty couldn't take it no more." prosecutors say the original target was going to be his grandmother, but the gang fought killing a 9-year-old would send a clear message. his father try to retaliatete fr his son's death, is now in prison for aggravated battery. tucker. >> tucker: trace gallagher, thanks so much for that.

brad smith is the spokesman for turning point usaid joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. we see the story and your heart breaks, tragedy, a 9-year-old boy executed during the day, and then you wonder where is beto? wising beto over work in chicago right now talking aboutt this? >> you know, the beto o'rourkes of the world, the mainstream the mainstream in it, f like this because it doesn't fit the narrative. for him to try to use gun violence is the way to resuscitate his family campaign, it begs the question, what are law-abiding citizens going to do to protect themselves from the criminals? do you think is criminals will be registering their guns? to think it will be giving upso their guns? by the way, even over labor day weekend in chicago, there were seven killed, 34 wounded. we hear these stories over and over and over again, but we don't see them covered enough because they do not fit a mainstream media narrative.

these people are working very hard to try to get another democrat -- excuse me, to try to get a democrat in the white house in 2020 and when you look at cities like chicago, baltimore, which i j was just at last we can, when you look at st. louis, these things are happening in all of these cities that have been controlled by democrats for the last 30, 40, 50, 60 years, and this is violence that is deeply affecting african-americans. >> tucker: it seems like a kind of neglect to ignore it. you look at the numbers out of chicago but you're right, sam was in baltimore, a lot of other cities like that. >> absolutely. >> tucker: but the numbers of shocking. the number of people shot, the number of people murdered, to out cover that at all, what does that tell you? >> it tells me, honestly, that the media and the beto o'rourke far less of the world, or more -- they are more concerned with pushing their narrative than they are of the actual people that are in the street. like your guest said before, he said that the left tells african-americans when they

leave the democratic party that they are not black anymore, they tell gays that they are not gay anymore, et cetera, butut when u go into tell black people that these policies have been hurting us for decades and decades and decades and they tell you that, you know, you can't be a republican -- look, let me tell you something, candace owens, larry elder, they say at all the time, the number one problem in the african-american community is -- i will tell you for sure that these young men for sure that were in i this gang that pt of the child, the people that are continuing to perpetrate the violence on the streets are men without direction. they are menon without jobs, thy did not have fathers in the home and when you say this to your community, they tell you that you're not really part of the t community, which is insane. >> tucker: and thehe feminist say you don't need fathers. >> which is completely insane. black boys need fathers and i'm telling you, all boys do, but black boys in particular. let me tell you something, when

i read a story like this it breaks my heart for that child and it also makes my heart for these men who have been lost and so many men like them all across the country that are being lost. >> tucker: so many american men that we don't care about. great to see you tonight, thank you for that. >> thank you. >> tucker: beto o'rourke is explained as gun-control master plan repeatedly. he said is going to send armed agents door-to-door to seize this country's air fifteens and ak-47s. with that to anything to fix the shooting epidemic in chicago? no, it wouldn't. not one thing. marilyn, for example already has an assault weapons ban but baltimore still exists. what does that tell you? former poster for the clinton joins us tonight, thanks for coming on. this is an often asked question questions. why are the places with gun bans, chicago and baltimore for example, so much more dangerous erthan places where so-called assault weapons are, like vermont and new hampshire? >> you have to look over the coming from.

in chicago, 60% of the firearms that both the my police you're coming from states like indiana with very weak governments. new york city and eric state, 74% are coming from states with weak gun laws. new york city -- 9 out of 10 guns are purchased and used quickly, come from states with lax gun-control laws. that is why 57% of americans believe there's too many guns in the streets. 57% of americans believe there's more guns make us less safe. >> tucker: about his conversation for 25 years of television, so of course after that before, but i've never understood why if all the guns in chicago come from indiana, and why doesn't indiana have a similar murder rate? >> because the guns are leaving, the guns are being shifted to metropolises. hold on, you just made a great argument -- you just made a great argument. if you just made a great ungument for federal gun control. that's why many federal gun control. >> tucker: wedy arty have federal laws --ho >> we have federal opals.

>> tucker: no, there are no loopholes. >> there are. at gun shows. >> tucker: i know a lot about this -- hold on, it's not internet sales. m the guns moving from indiana and chicago are moving by car, not by fedex. they are not order me in there. >> how do you think are purchased? >> tucker: that's against the law and the feds don't do anything about it. it's not a loophole, it's unenforced. you're not answering my questio question, there are a lot of guns in maine, vermont, -- >> there's more people in chicago, a lot more people in new york city, that's why the guns go to where the people are very >> tucker: so it's just population then? >> no, it's the fact that we don't have -- tucker -- >> tucker: it's not population. identify flood place with the guns without a lot of murders. maybe there's something else. maybe it's not e the guns. and you know that that's true, -- >> bullets killed that child. if those guns were playing stomach taken off the streets, if those guns weren't able to be purchased by people that did not pass background checks, then a boy may very well still be alive. that is why 94% -- are much talk

about assault weapons, taught by handguns. >> tucker: so we should ban handguns too? their art event.he >> they are not bad, they should be required to be registered. that is why 94% of americans agree that there should be universal background checks -- >> tucker: the person who pulled the trigger and was accused, had a prior conviction, was not allowed -- that the point you ignore every time, people who break the law tend not to obey the law. >> how to think at the guns in the first place? >> tucker: from a state that doesn't have a murder problem? it doesn't makeurur sense. >> if there is a way that we can close loopholes to prevent people that we should not have guns to have guns, why doesn't trump support that? tie biggest chill in the administration, william barr out to capitol hill, to try to get gun-control past. >> tucker: great, thank you. thank you.

i'm not sure since the shakers of northern new england there has been a religious movement against having children. it's been a long time. >> that's right, actually there is a history even environmental activism specifically of catastrophize and the number of people on the planet. you went back to the late 1960s there were people like daschle were taken very seriously, by the scientific community, productions that the world would be so crowded, we would all start, we would run out of food within a decade, that's what they predicted. of course none of that came true. we didn't implement any of the population controls those people wanted and despite not doing that we had more people and we were able to feed more people than ever. we lifted a billion people out of poverty because in fact people of the solution, right? more people, a smarter society, we come up with ways to solve these problems, so that's kind of what's sad about this. cutting off at -- >> tucker: i have four of themnk myself so i'm for people, i think children are the answer, and i mean it but i do think

it's a little bit weird that the people are telling us that you shouldn'tt have kids are also pushing for open borders, as for example greenpeace is. so if a population is the problem, why aren't they trying to limit hours? >> i think specifically with the kids we are talking about, not even sure they take it seriously. we are not supposed to take them literally. it's activism is a kind of social currency that i'm, it's cool, it's fun to be woke, it's fun to start a hashtag and take instagram photos of you being super sustainable, do know what i mean? it's a way of life for them that signal school as i don't know exactly how to overcome that but that's what we are dealingat wi. we were that's overly wise observation and your younger than i am so you have better perspective. but i would just say there are some percentages going to take it seriously and it's going to make them neurotic and unhappy, don't you think? >> absolutely. that's no way to live your life, thinking that the world is about to end, people who have that mentality are not happy well-adjusted people, but of course activists are always

trying to come into -- they're trying to convince themselves that they are having panic attacks, their mental health is terrible, because that's how they prove they are so committed to the cause. >> tucker: any who survives himself as an activist should have no control over my life because by definition now neurotic and weird i would argue. it's great to see you tonight, thank you. >> my pleasure, thank you. >> tucker: the war in afghanistan has dragged on foric 18 years at great cost but our politicians were in washington refused to let it end. are we anywhere close to victory? is a brand-new study on that.'va we've got the details, which are going to want to hear. first it's time for final exam, how much of the weird things that happened this week do you know about? are you worthy of the world famous mug? we will find out next. as a co

>> tucker: over the past couple of weeks, there is been an acrimonious debate over the president's afghanistan policy. president trump b has decided that after 14 years, 2400 deaths and a trillion u.s. dollars spent, enough is enough. he wants end the war and bring american troops back to the united states. the department of war lobby in washington is outraged by this idea. trump's plan because his final break with security advisor john bolton, basically stormed out over it. some think trump is a traitor for negotiating with the taliban, others say a withdrawal

will betray afghan women.they ig modern and peaceful like belgium. harry flashman could've told you that. none of these debates about afghanistan policyg are taking place in reality. they are imagining facts and a war effort not being waged and the expert know it very well. early this month, the center for international studies, a top think tank in washington, published a draft report that lays out the truth what's happening inor afghanistan and s been for 18 years. america has likely already lost the war there, but our military leaders are hiding the truth of that. the afghan central government is "corrupt, ineffective, weak, and deeply divided," despite billions spent on trading andti equipment, the afghan national army is essentially useless. it remains completely dependent on american forces to do anything.

think about that for a minute, after all these years. it's disgusting. despite immense economic aidut the economy of afghanistan is in shambles and it's not getting better. did we say despite aid? because of aid, because that's the nature of aid. it keeps people dependent and inefficient. it never works. instead of telling the truth of any of this, our leaders bury the truth. all the details, all w the fact. in 2018, official estimates show that the afghan government was losing control over the countryg territory. that's bad. the u.s. government has stopped provided official estimates. if you don't like the statistics, stop collecting them. that's the truth about the war in afghanistan. we aren'tm winning.don't listent says. baphoons like bill kristol. john bolton. the only way we can win this war is by sending tens and hundreds

of thousands of troops over there, spending hundredsds of billions of dollars, and in likelihoods killing hundreds and thousands of afghans. would it be worth it? we would restart the war from scratch and nobody is willing to do thathe despite the posturing. but instead of accepting that reality, that is the reality, and ending the war, washington continues to pretend we are trying to win when everyone knows we are not. every year, thousands of american soldiers continued to be torn away from their loved ones month on end at great cost to them and their families, fighting a war that our leaders aren't willingng to win and are too prideful to end.17 troops hn afghanistan just this year. why?y? if we say more will continue to die and every single one of them will be an american life wasted thrown away for the vanity of morons like john bolton, max boot, and bill kristol. that is not a good reason to stay. that's it for us tonight. a whole hour has through our fingers. we hope you join us tomorrow night.

and every week night at 8:00 p.m., the show that is the sworn and totally sincerity of lying, pomposity, smugness, and group think.don't forget dvr itn figure out how that works. sean hannity is hosting the 9:00 p.m. hour. >> i listened to what you just said, very thoughtful. i disagree with you about bolton.i disagree that times are different since 9/11. here's where we do agree. i want the next generation of weaponry in this country. i want offensive and defensive weapons, so we don't have to put boots on the ground. we kind of did in syria, we beat back the caliphate, i want them pushing buttons in tampa, not going door-to-door in iraq or afghanistan. that needs to be the future.we e curve. >> i agree with you on that. >> thank you, tucker. welcome to hannity. busy night tonight. the corrupt, lying, rage and hale
