ts ♪ only healthmarkets has the free fitscore. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." by the fourth or fifth decade of communism the experiment wasn't working. almost nothing the soviets said was going to happen ever did. people were restless and frustrated, but they couldn't say so and the authorities lost their credibility and they became hysterical in the hunt for deviations and anyone who complained or asked questions h was punished but ultimately the authorities decided any disagreement with official orthodoxy was not simply forbidden, it was a form of mental illness. it had to be. soviet medical literature i from the 1960s describes schizophrenic anyone with skepticism of the party line or displayed undue interest in

"truth and justice."c in other words in the soviet union anyone who refused to lie was by definition crazy. all which brings to mind the increasingly remarkable case of entertainer, kanye west. for a couple of decades that pretty conventional if highly successful career and producer and musician. then the last few years, something changed profoundly. he jumped into the business of social commentary, but not in the way many fans expected. in place have the usual industry improved chronologies of politics and liberation, west started saying things like this. >> my father is a black pantherd and my mother got arrested at the age of six. they were fighting for us to have the right to our opinion, not the right to vote for whoever the white liberal said black people are supposed to vote for.no >> tucker: wait ape second. there is obviously a mistake

here. kanye is a rapper and he is progressive, he has to be, those are the rules as you know. and there he is criticizingg liberals. so what is going on here? there are only two possibleti explanations for this. either kanye west is kidding, probable, or he's nuts. forr a while it wasn't clear which it was. ironic or demented. when west kept saying things like this, it became obvious. he must be insane. >> you have no idea. you would be out here in l.a. on the new york, and they will hav you all jacked up on mountain dew. >> people are connected to the idea of having their own land. people are connected to the surface of crisis, this is the bible belt, this is america. >> tucker: of service to god, that is just the confirmation we need. this man is a danger to himself

and more ominously he's a danger to our neoliberal consensus which we much never challenge or question because kanye west, ladies and it is totally indefensible. gentlemen, and imminent threat to the way we do things here. discredit him before he keeps talking.ci >> wake up, wake up mr. west, wake up, everybody think they are so following the rules of what woke is supposed to be. >> tucker: wait a second, woke politics means giving up the right to think for yourself? that is what kanye west is saying. or trying to say his former friends to drowned out his voice with patronizing fake concern. this is not the same kanye west we once knew.ng he is struggling emotionally. maybe he has or may be just decided to embrace human autonomy and live like an adult. >> when i was sitting in front of white people and they thought, it would not have thought you would like trump because of racism. so you mean to tell me i make every decision based off of my color?

the most racist thing a person can tell me is that i'm supposed to choose something based on my race.ed >> tucker: all right, okay it was funny until now. now we've gone too far. daring to declare dependenceil from self-righteous liberals, woke. in case that was not offensive enough obviously it is, he went farther and got a gospel album and then attacked american cancel culture. >> another thing is this idea of apologizing, we will apologize for running on stage. apologize for wearing the wrong color, and apologize, i have been through too much. i am the founder of a three billion-dollar company. do you think i'm going to listen to somebody online tell me what i'm supposed to apologize for? >> tucker: we will not belabor the point. if you are a woke liberal we will not torture you. one last sound bite just in case

there was a question that kanye west is clinically insane because you would have to beue completely, barking like crazye and in a single sentence, crazed family and attacked big tech. that is exactly what kanye west did. watch. >> social media doing more to her family is that it is to help families and t families are the key to health. >> tucker: well, clearly this man needs help. so provided, we are joined by zuby from the u.k. you probably know the most popular rap artist and good toy see you tonight. this guy is clearly nuts. >> he is clearly nuts. he's thinking for himself and encouraging other people to do the same thing. i stand by that 100%. that is what kanye has stood p r and people are surprised that he is shifting sides a little bit in terms of the way people view things politically, but ultimately, his message is not telling people who to vote for, support, what candidate they should go for it.

but basically just tellingng people, look think for yourselfu yes, you're not owned by any party or a politician. you have the right to think for yourself, not as a monolist. >> tucker: we both know that you're not allowed to think for yourself. let's not get crazy here.bo i wasn't quite sure what he wash doing or how far he was willing to go until i read of this, "democrats had us voting for democrats with food stamps for years, lowering our votes and making us abort our children." >> heavy stuff. >> tucker: once you say that, you've made your point. >> so i'm from the u.k., but someone who is from the u.k.r well over a decade since ii' started anything politically, i have always looked at the fact that black americans vote around 90% for the democratic party. >> tucker: yes. >> which is weird. i mean, in a demographic group

putting that much in favor of one party sort of raises question, especially when you've got a lot of cities where that party is in charge and people are not happy with the way things have been going for multiple decades. >> tucker: that is right.itrg >> and rather looking at the other side or questioning this allegiance to it. now, myself i'm not a black american, and i don't want to speak for any other people other than myself, but i get that the core message what i put out there and what kanye west and similar people are putting out there. it's not look, you meet tom mack must be conservative and vote for trial. there are alternative perspectives here and firstly it's okay to voice an alternative perspective without being demonized and attacked. we are seeing what is happening. a lot of stuff in 2018 when heg first came out and had positive. things to say about trump or about conservative values or anything like that. he got mobbed. that is because he is such a huge cultural figure both within and outside of music.

so someone with his gravitas is saying that getting, is king trending on twitter and becoming the biggest album in the world, that is a threat to a lot of people. it sounds weird and backwards but that is generally a threat to a lot of people. >> tucker: tell me if this happened to you, rob, of course a threat and a wonderful opportunity for us to hear these issues discussed. we have a narrow range of things to talk about and it would be boring. it would be interesting whether jesus is king, but they dismiss him and many others. does that happen to you? >> it does. it is attempted. it does not work on me.. it doesn't work on me. anyone who would try to cancel me is not part of my true audience anyway.ry so it's not something that i personally fear. i have not shifted much politically over the years, but i've become a little bit more vocal about the things i'm saying. because culture is in a weird place in a lot of ways. >> tucker: yes.

>> anyone who goes out there and promotes self-reliance and self empowerment and self improvement and is not trying to point the fingers outside employment everybody else or blame other factors, that person will get demonized. anyone who encourages other people to think freely and not go along with that kind of weird, woke progressive identity politics games being played, especially if you are a minority. it does not matter if a black, asian, latino, samely thing spon to people say someone who is gay, but doesn't go along with all of the lgbt stuff. w most people get demonized because it's almost like you are some kind of apostate, trader, or something like that. >> tucker: yes. >> so i am followed by black minority conservatives, say in the usa. and they kind of confided in me like, man, it is tough. >> tucker: i do see why because if i can say, calm,us clear, cheerful, that works.

people can hear you. and you succeed. thank you for coming on, appreciate it. >> tucker: woke culture is not unique even for this week. and even barack obama appears that things are going too far. >> this idea of purity and joy never compromised and you're always politically woke and all of that, you should get over that quickly. [laughter] the world is messy. there are ambiguities. people who do really good stuff have flaws. g >> tucker: the host larry elder does good stuff and has few visible flaws. he joins us tonight. larry, thank you for coming on. what do you make of this? the former president gently, but unmistakably criticizing woke culture. >> i think obama believes the party iska being pulled to the

left with kingmaker, al sharpton. if obama ran right now, he would be dismissed as establishment. and regarding kanye west, it is one thing to come out as a black republican who supports trump. it is another thing to come out as a christian black republican who supports donald trump. remember in 2012, got booed at the bmc and the idea being the capital of israel also got booed. they had a complicated relationship with god. and you have beto o'rourke who say that if church does not accept same-sex marriage, they will lose. so this is a party that is very uncomfortable with god. very comfortable with the support of evangelicals that donald trump gets a veryid comfortable with the idea that israel should be embraced because of one place with god. so barack obama to show how nervous he is about the green new deal, $15 minimum wage, illegal aliens getting health care, decriminalizing illegal crossing, obama's concern about all this stuff..

>> tucker: what is interesting that god is still and jesus is still pretty popular in black america. african-americans are still, i think this is true and it always was, the most religious segment of the american population and yet, they vote overwhelmingly for a party that is aggressively secular. i mean, that is a contradiction -- can that last forever? >> it is a contradiction and they do that because racism is the major problem in america. it is a notion driven by the democrats.s it is a notion driven by the media. once the democrats relates black democrats realize it is about education, it is about crime committed is about jobs, theybo will rethink allegiance to the democratic party, and that is why people like kanye west and candace owens and brandon tatum are so, so dangerous for the democrats. >> tucker: so when kanye west starts to, zuby was talking and he says things like that makes

us abort our babies, that kind of crosses a line from polite disagreement to really tell in hard truths. exposing what is actually going on. that isg dangerous when you stat talking like that. they are not going to allow that, right, to continue? >> kanye west talking about 800-pound elephant in the room which is absentee fathers and obama knows this, racism, sexism and the climate change, obama said a kid without a father isis five times more likely to be poor and commit a crime. nine times more likely to drop out of school. 20 times to end up in jail and the welfare state incentivize d women to marry the government and allow men to abandon financial responsibility and yes, it has. >> tucker: sad. interesting. i think this will continue to play out. who knows where it goes from here, but i think it is genuinely interesting.in larry elder, you explain things well, thank you for coming onto >> my pleasure. a new count of jeffrey up there

jeffrey epstein's autopsy raises question what happen in the end. did he kill himself? some people who looked at him believe he did not. that is ahead. it's becoming clear by the day that, let harris will not be the president, obviously you should celebrate that. wait until you hear her excuse for why her campaign is failing. fascinating. stay tuned. ♪ ♪

♪ >> tucker: all presidential

campaigns and the same way with chaos and sadness. we see kamala harris doomed campaign right now. she has firing staffers, running out of money and it is clear she will not make the democratic nomination. the news does not come as a big surprise. the junior senator from california, but she has not accomplished anything in congress. she is not likable or popular in her home state. rather than acknowledge this, she decided to play the blame game.lend biases the real problem. lisa boothe is a senior fellow independent woman's voice. i almost downgraded you but i don't know why.sa >> i appreciate the upgrade. >> tucker: it is great to see you tonight, lisa. what is she saying? >> she hasn't even lost yet, and she's already doing the table setting for a loss. it looks like she's taking a page out of the hillary clintonn playbook so she blames everybody else for her troubles except herself. i want you to listen to something she said in an interview with hbo.or >> what i describe in what i believe to be the elephant in the room about my campaign.

>> what is that? >> electability.e >> what do you mean?n? >> essentially, is america ready for a woman and a woman of color to be president of the united states. >> america was ready for a black man to be ready for the president of the united states. >> and this conversation and this happened for him. someone who have never seen can do a job that has been done on 45 times by someone who is not that person. >> it has nothing with ability to connect with voters or flip-flop on medicare for all or criminal justice.ma it is because democrats voters are sexist and racist's. >> tucker: before we dismiss this out of hand, she is saying the democratic voters are racist. are they? >> okay, let's take a look at the most recent quinnipiac polly >> tucker: i want to take the claim seriously. >> okay, let's take it seriously. among african-americans, she is

pulling 2% in the latest quinnipiac poll. >> tucker: because they are racistam obviously. >> 6% and caucasians, 4%. this has nothing to do with that. it is her failure as a candidate. she sent a memo out today to the staffers and donors telling them she is laying people off. she is reshaping her campaign and she will be sending additional staff to iowa and laying off the staffers in baltimore headquarters because she's only at 2.7% of the real clear politics average in iowa. she is struggling there. even in her home state of california, she has 8%. and i want to get to real quick this quote from david axelrod who repeatedly needled joe biden. we can pull it up. they have them in the candidatee protection program. i don't know if you can do that. i don't know if you can get through a whole campaign that way. either he can hack it or you can't hack it. if you are worried the candidate can hurt himself, talk to a reporter is a bad sign.

clearly we know the obama team tried to push them out in 2016 and 2020, and david axelrod knows the caliber of a candidate that joe biden he is, clearly taking shot after shot. >> tucker: david axelrod is not just some pundit from chicago. this is barack obama's chief political strategist. i mean, this is the head guy in the obama operation who knows biden as biden as well as, anybody, sort of mrs. biden saying the guy isn't ready to be president. that tells you a lot. >> and so does his numbers, he already has $8.9 million on cash right now and 38% of his donorss have maxed out. the vast majority of his money coming from big dollar donors. so where will that money, if he wants to stay in this, you know, what is going to be a long race >> tucker: that is a good with a crowded primary? question. i'm not sending him any. >> i won't either. >> tucker: lisa boothe, great to see you tonight. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: if kamala harris is

getting out, who is the democratic nominee going to be. socialist bernie sanders beat expectations in 2016. can he do it again? take a look at this rally hepe held in detroit, michigan, watch this. [cheers and applause] >> you are a loud crowd, thank you. [cheers and applause] >> tucker: dana perino joins us tonight. dana, great to see you as always. >> thank you. >> tucker: i ran into a campaign correspondent, i don't have a tangible senses, but who is coming out? who are the candidates? he said bernie, almost 80, just had a heart attack and dismiss by people like me as unelectable, but really it ise a still the most inspiring canada on the democratic side. bernie sanders will get the nomination he said. i thought that was an amazing production.

what do you think of that?ti >> i think it is unlikely. i would never say never. i think after he had his hearter attack and he came back and he had that quick debate, and he showed he could take a punch, get back up, and he definitely pulled off getting "the squad",, aoc and the likes to endorse him. that was actually very impressive, strategically smart, they kept it as a secret. america loves a comeback story. the media loves a comeback story and besides, tucker, what else am i going to write about? we were talking about lisa boothe. what else are they going to write about?be with that said, bernie sanders goes in the nomination with 15% or goes into the election. he might be able to fight his way all the way to the convention and then he can fight it out, but i believe elizabeth warren has the momentum. bernie and biden have been pretty static in the polls. if you are not moving, you're not able to gome anywhere. the only person that moved up a little bit has been elizabeth warren, and i think because bernie sanders and elizabeth warren so similar in their views and they haven't

attacked each other, that warren with democrats who support s bernie and the more electable option. in the end, they will not have a problem voting for her. >> tucker: they won't. they don't see her as they would joe biden, someone who is a front to the values. >> even though she says she is a capitalist, she is regressive. she actually wants to change things. she's a little bit of a disruptor like bernie sanders is. i also think about "the squad" endorsement that bernie, strategically smart to get the nomination, right? however, i don't know any other candidate that thinks that would be a good idea to get "the squad" endorsement going into the general election against donald trump. i think that is probably, okay, fine, bernie can have it. >> tucker: that is a solid point.ra if it is bernie where you are predicting the odds are, it will be elizabeth warren at this point, but if it is warren, they will have to raise hundreds and

hundreds of millions of dollars to run a credible national campaign. they think they do anyway. where's that money going to come huom? they cannot raise it from the finance sector, can they?nk that is where all the money is. because they have grassroots, bernie sanders and warren to come together with small donations so they can show they have the grassroots support behind them. remember when you turn to the general election and you go against donald trump who is well funded and organized, all the combat -- the benefits of the dnc. the dnc democratic national committee, that is your fund-raising arm, and the dnc does not have qualms taking money from anybody. they will be the ones. bernie and elizabeth warren or whoever it might be. today, i had jim messina with david axelrod, he thinks there will be a late entrance into the campaign and i said, who? he said a lot of people are talking michael bloomberg. michael bloomberg could fund it all himself.ai i said what about hillary? he said no, he does not thinkk hillary is running.

but then we are already here a year from the election, by next week, a year to the election, and the democrats are thinking is there anybody else out there? that is not good. >> tucker: that is not good at all. if you watch fox news, dana perino, thank you. >> have a good night. >> tucker: up next, the autopsy from jeffrey epstein's corpse suggest that his death was at least more complicated than initial report suggested it was. they were new developments on that tonight. we will bring it to you straight ahead. plus, the series on legal arms in the city of detroit continues tonight featuring another good guy with a gun. >> detroit has a lot going on so sometimes, you have to sit there and wait and hope an officer will pull up in time to stop the situation. ♪

dr. marc siegel is a fox newso contributor in the man we go to when we have questions. doctor, what do you think of this? >> just the point you brought up alone, i would agree with dr. baden. those three fractures and it looks like a lot of force was applied. i you can see how extensive that is. so this could easily occur by someone grabbing you by the neck. a fracture here and over here. well, that is the most common way that that happens, tucker, with literally a homicidal strangulation. so that has to be rolled out. now, of course, a lot of other suspicious things taking b precipitously on suicide watch after having been attacked. he's put in a room with a murderer, a murder removed and the bunk bed is left there with sheets. what are sheets doing in there? there hasn't been a suicide in this prison and only one, cameras are broken, guards falling asleep, simultaneously and left unobserved for hours. this does not pass the sniff test.

so dr. baden and the viewers are right to be saying, wait a minute, what don't we know? was there more dna evidence? he brought up this morning where is the dna evidence on the sheets, under epstein's fingernails? these are questions, but i want to add one other thing. the pathologist ruling on this form of the medical examiner the chief medical examiner in new york is quite reputable.dd she came back and said, this is a suicide.e she better be right because she's putting her entire career on the line here. the determination, tucker, is made by putting a lot of facts together. maybe there are things we don't know that she knows. i want to know what those things are. >> tucker: way with there be things that she knows in the case of this nature? where the public's trust in the system is also on trial, in effect. why would she be keeping facts from the public? >> i don't think she should appear to think she should be releasing the answers to dr. baden's questions. in other words, was there a suicide note? he supposedly rewrote his will. i want to know, did anybody

observe this? were people seen coming and going from the cell? what was the time of death? all of the things have not been released and especially dna issues. whose dna was on the sheets? with only epstein's? if somebody killed them we would see evidence of it. i want this information released. >> tucker: yeah. >> she can't keep saying it is suicide. i have reason to believe she is credible, tucker. i'm not rolling that out. we went right.ow >> she has come out and said it is suicide, but the public wants to know more in this case. >> tucker: of course, in thisi' very high profile case. >> tucker: of course, in this case, we should have no reason to believe that the authorities are holding back any information that this man is dead. >> by the way, sexual predators like this, like this whoally wig around. so that is another reason to be suspicious. the bones look like homicide.

>> tucker: alexandria ocasio-cortez is the youngest member of congress. she turned 30 a couple of weeks ago. she's barely old enough to rent a car and already she is one of the most powerful politicians in america. 18 months ago, no one in washington had a heart of the green new deal. today it is at the very center of the democratic agenda. ocasio-cortez did that so there

is a reason she is famous. it's not just type. she's impressive in a lot of ways.he even if you disagree with her, you have to admit that. she is legitimately tough for one thing. a prerequisite for success. she is the only democrats in the house who is totally on totally unintimidated by nancy pelosi. when she got to washington party bosses tried to make her moderator of use assumption but she refused. unlike most members of congress, ocasio-cortez believes most of what she says. she understands that something profound has gone wrong in america. the country is dangerously unequal.n fixing that will require going to work with entrenched establishment which is profiting from the status quo. ocasio-cortez is happy to do that. when amazon decided to demand subsidies in order to come to new york, she was one of the very few who asked why we would send tax dollars to the richest man. when all the fashionable people in the party decided that elizabeth warren should be the nominee, alexandria ocasio-cortez and endorsed

bernie.ed she is an independent spirit, one of the very few in washington. it is easy to see why young people listen to her. in the end, that is the problem with alexandria ocasio-cortez.a and her economic views get the attention, yes, a wild, bad left winger that's pushing socialism on the country. it might be stupid and wrong, we think they are but still undeniably ideas. you can debate them. we often do. the problem is the rest of what she says.. there is a darker side to ocasio-cortez, and it has nothing to do with the green new deal. she is unapologetically a bigot, there is nothing legitimate about that. you can't debate bigotry, it is pure poison.ot it is terrifying to think that someone who spews open racism has been a role model for the young people, but that is exactly what is happening. and it has been happening since ocasio-cortez arrived on the public stage. during the first run for congress, the incumbent who helg

the seat didn't deserve to be in congress because the wrong race. by election day, the opponent was literally apologizing forer his own skin color. when he accused ocasio-cortez of making the election about race, she didn't run from it, "it is about race." not so long ago a campaign like that would have been considered deeply immoral. the press would have hounded ocasio-cortez until she apologized or dropped out buter not anymore. a ruling class no longer recognized as universal standards of any kind. racism, they decided cuts only one way so they ignored ocasio-cortez race baiting and she got elected. over time like any untreated virus, or bigotry room or inflamed.. here is ocasio-cortez just last week and a public explaining that actually global climate change is the fault of a specific racial group, watch. >> we see it is the fountain of

color that may be bearing the front of initial havoc of climate change? >> without a doubt, without a doubt. >> in terms of that the people producingng climate change, the folks responsible for the largest amount of admissions or community corporation, theylk td to be predominately white, correct? yes, every study backs that up. >> tucker: the people that are producing climate change. that is right, those people, the ones destroying the earth driving an entire species to extinction, killing children and all those people look alike. something in common, don't theyo that is right, they are the same color. that is what she is saying. standards have changed so much, it is hard to say something generally shocking in this country anymore, but that qualifies. for all the hysteria that you hear about how the president is a racist, donald trump has nevea said anything close to that, nothing close to this bigoted and vicious as that. the people wrecking the world

are all one race? who talks like that? in fact, it's hard to think of anyone in american life saying anything that disgusting andin foolish and dangerous. if so, exactly what would it be? and yet, here is the amazing part. nobody seemed to evenha notice when ocasio-cortez said that in the middle of a congressional hearing. the rulers acted like it was e totally normal because to them, it is normal. this is an ominous development for thee country. talk like this will destroy us. itel has come close before as yu know. and it is possible ocasio-cortez doesn't know what she's saying. you would like to think that she doesn't. maybe she is young and lacking wisdom and can't hear herself.nd the problem is that others can hear her, clearly. every time she encourages her followers to hate and distrust other people based on race, some of them will. and over time, this is how countries fall apart. so going forward, here is a plea to alexandria ocasio-cortez. keep saying what you think is true.

keep taking jabs at the establishment in washington, even those who disagree with you will cheer you on. my gosh, please, for the sake of the country and the children you don't yet have, please stop attacking people for the color of their skin. they can't change who they are, and neither can you. we all have to live here together anyway, and we won't be able to if you keep this up. members of congress who abuse the office to enrich themselves and their friends. ilhan omar used campaign funds to pay someone she was having an affair with. how often does this happen exactly in washington? an eye-opening report next. ♪
