>> ♪ >> tucker: good evening, and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." the last few weeks, democrats have effectively had a monopoly on all public attention. over that time, the combined daytime broadcast of cnn, msnbc, and fox news were in effect the adam schiff show. the man tasked with running the house impeachment hearings. schiff was ever going to make the case for impeaching the president, the last two weeks where the perfect time to do it. of course, if you are watching carefully, there were some red flags. there were his unsettling appearance with the bulging eyes of a fanatic. you also notice how speed 24

spent the first two years of the trump administration lumping together all of his own critics as a vladimir putin coconspirators. so adam schiff, if you've been paying attention, may never have been the guy to run this process credibly. but from the perspective of the press, he was perfect. cnn spent a lot of time telling us that adam schiff was not a fanatic. in fact, he was a silly, fun-loving guy who was brought to this country to do the good work of bringing down a dangerous president. watch this. >> look, you've got a goofy sense of humor -- >> goofy is not a word people would use. >> he loves funny movies. everybody knows that he can take you from the first word of "the big lebowski" to be a final scene of "the big lebowski." >> i'm the dude. that's what you call me. >> are there any words from the dude that worry replied to your -- that would have applied to your life? >> i've been asked in the past. i'm not sure if you can air this or not is my only question.

what line from "the big lebowski" comes up most in political life? and, i have to say it, it's the line, no, you aren't wrong, you are just a [bleep] hole. >> tucker: and they call a state tv. have you ever seen a more dishonest puff piece ever on any cable channel in history? probably not. so that's cnn's take on adam schiff. he's a great guy. the problem is the last few weeks, america has got to watch adam schiff. why? they've had more adam schiff in their lives than ever before so they know what he's like. schiff got the call whatever witnesses he wanted to call. could block witnesses that they wanted to call like hunter biden, and they did. schiff could ask any question they want and had the most time to ask any questions of anyone in the room. he was also able, critically, to have the first and last word every day. he used that power to exploit. >> some of the righteous indignation we heard from the committee today when the president question that fundamental conclusion of our

intelligence agencies. of course, they were silent. >> tucker: what happened to his sense of humor? actually, schiff at many occasions seemed emotionally during closing remarks, unstable. it seemed like he was going to cry. also sad and dramatic, he told us. >> i would just say to people watching here at home and around the world, in the words of my great colleague, we are better than that. adjourned. >> tucker: spare us. so that was the adam schiff show. according to the press, the same people who told you what a big fun goofball adam schiff is, the hearings were devastating for the president. they told us in unison, a bombshell. >> we've been using "bombshell" to describe the testimony because there was a fair amount of collateral damage. >> bombshell testimony.

>> three-ring circus today. the bombshell delivered this morning. >> breaking news, the bombshell of the impeachment hearing. >> tonight, bombshell testimony. >> a few hours later from the bombshell being detonated -- >> we had one bombshell after another -- >> this was an ied from mr. sondland. >> it was a bombshell, but it was also a three-ring circus! what happened if you had two cliches speeding toward each other at 30 miles an hour, what would be the combined speed? unbelievable. this is the actual answer, the press hasn't run this. if you are all unthinkingly repeating the exact same talking points from the democratic national committee, as they are telling us the president has been exposing his presidency is finished, you aren't really a news outlet anymore. they are not. they are all began to. the public is good at spotting

propaganda and good at ignoring it. turns out two weeks after relentless adam schiff, voters are not more likely to support impeachment. in fact, they are less likely. an emerson poll released thursday found compared to october, support to impeachment dropped from 48% to just 43%. that's about five points during the impeachment hearings! that drop is most pronounced among independents. last month, 48% of independents supported impeachment. now 40%. now just 34% do. that's a disaster from the perspective of the democratic party. trump's approval rating has risen. emerson found that 48 approved from just a month ago. up several points in the recent real clear politics average. impeachment was a bust politically. if there ever was going to be a decisive shift in public opinion for removing the president a year before the election, it would be happening right now. but it's not. again, that's practical we've

-- the spectacle we watched for the last two weeks have made people more sympathetic to the president, not less. imagine if you are running that's how disappointed you would be. in fact, house democrats haven't even won over the two members of their own caucus who voted against holding hearings three weeks ago. so maybe in the end, the house will impeach the president anyway. wouldn't that be a good idea politically? if the public isn't sold on impeachment now at the end of the second week, how are they going to react the democrats dragging out the charade for yet another month or another year? instead of uniting the party ahead of the 2020 election, impeachment could end up sabotaging the party's chances of winning. how did we get here? why didn't the public fall for this? why aren't people sold on the idea of the president has committed a crime and should be removed from office? part of the answer is the democratic party's intentions were too obvious. they were calling for

impeachment before the president was even inaugurated president. they were all in on the russia hoax for two full years. that turned out to be a lie. they pushed impeachment over all different kind of things but trump's taxes, stormy daniels, his tweeting. the rest of america are very different. if everything trump does warrant impeachment, then nothing warns impeachment. it's partisanship, it's a stun fit on a deeper level, most americans understand the issue that democrats chose to impeach over doesn't really matter. in fact, what is it? after several months, it's almost impossible to explain what the crime is but most americans don't understand that and for good reason, president trump how the military aid to ukraine? why are we giving military aid to ukraine in the first place? all these people on stage telling us we have a moral obligation to arm ukraine. really? why? speak fully so we can understand. no one really bothered. why is it important to protect

the right of hunter biden to take a do nothing job from a foreign country. why is that the focus? why is any of this the focus when america is continuing to be crushed under rising debt levels, following opportunity, decaying cities, growing inequality, open border, some of the longest wars in the history of this country? those are the issues that got donald trump elected in the first place. the democrats stick to political distractions like this are why trump might get elected again. victor david hanson is a senior fellow at the hoover institution and the author of many books, lately "the case for trump." we've had these numbers. it's pretty clear that impeachment, whatever you think of the merits of the case, has been a failure from a public relations perspective. why do you think that is? >> you know, it only took them four days to flip all the polls against the democrats. i do not know why he dropped that, he had a perfect con, had

everybody locked in the basement and nobody could hear anything, he could selectively leak the opening statements, there would be no cross-examination. we all knew seeing adam schiff and hearing him as not to like him. he drove all of the polls on trump down and impeachment up. and he went public and has turned out what we all expected, we wouldn't want to hear this guy or look at him, and the republican people on the house intelligence committee were brilliant and it was true. they had done brilliant cross-examination that nobody was learning about. now we learned about them and that was all hearsay, so in the end they were just giving sermons about why hearsay is admissible. if you put it, tucker, in the larger context, what do they do? they go to jerry nadler who is considered the c team, and adam schiff hijacked it from him because he was supposed to be the superstar, and now he's going to do, what, replay the television drama again and drive it all the way down to some

mystical redline where nancy pelosi sees that the polls are 35% for impeachment and trump is up to 45%, 46%, i don't know what she's going to do. the only thing i can think of is -- i don't think they are going to censor him, they are going to for for impeachment but they have to count on new evidence. but robert mueller did 22 months and $35 million and found nothing. or maybe they think they can get a big marquee witness like john bolton and flip him and he's going to go in and have a confession. i don't think that's too likely. when we look at the long-term, strategic landscape, tucker, somebody is leaking from the ig already. we've heard from this alteration of a document by an fbi lawyer and you can see that this is just the beginning. there's going to be a thousand cuts that they are going to bleed the democrats. that's not counting john durham who is hovering around. what, we have 2% of the american

people watching the debate? did they really believe we are going to watch ten hours impeachment hearings, go scarf some food, go out for a two hour debate, watch with friends? it didn't work. there are 40 members of the house that are iffy about the whole thing because they are in trump plus districts and they won on issues other than impeachment. so the long term conditions are not really good for them. so i guess what they are counting on is the senate my play by the marquis of queensbury rules like mitt romney and not tit for tat, do what adam schiff did, they will bring adam schiff, bring in the whistle-blower, bringing lieutenant colonel vindman and he has some real liabilities given his testimony and answer to devin nunes, and i don't think it's going to work. it's going to rebound and i think the democratic candidates think that schiff, nadler, all of them have sucked out the oxygen of their campaign. >> tucker: i don't think vindman helps. professor, thanks so much for the analysis. good to see you. >> thank you.

>> tucker: impeachment hearings are supposed to provide evidence of profound wrongdoing. instead, over and over they revealed only the thought process of professional bureaucrats. what they assumed what their priorities are, what they told each other. that's not the same as evidence of a crime, as congressman mike turner explained. >> dr. hill, you have provided me the greatest piece of evidence that's before us to illustrate the problem with hearsay. so, you said based on questions and statements, i have heard, no matter how convinced we are, dr. hill, no matter how much we believe we know that what we've heard is true, it is still just what we've heard. >> tucker: so democrats had a response to turner. they didn't produce better evidence. that would be too simple.

they called him a sexist. congressman sean patrick maloney protected hill saying she was the victim of mansplaining. >> dr. hill, that was some epic mansplaining, and i want the assembly to know it was inappropriate. i respect your forbearance. >> tucker: what a total mediocrity of that guy is. tammy bruce is not mediocrity, just the opposite. one of our favorite to get tammy bruce on fox nation, she joins us tonight. what do you make of that? it doesn't seem to be an argument. it seems less than that. >> it's less than that. what i will do here is i will do some tammy-splaining to shed some light on what happened there appeared we know these televised hearings are meant for the viewer, right? this is the one chance for the republicans to explain, they are limited and have to ask for

permission about who they can ask for and even what to ask and say, et cetera. so this is a chance for it to be made clear that this has been an exercise in hearsay, in gossip, in rumor. that's what the american people have seen is well and they've realized that they don't like that at all. so this is, of course, what mansplaining is, treating her like a child, and that's exactly what maloney ended up doing while completing, complaining about taylor. talking to her as if she was harmed. we saw this with yovanovich as well, talking to her like she's a soft little pedal, a wallflower the corner, sorry you had to endure that. this is another powerful woman. she knows what she's doing. i don't think her feelings were hurt. by the way, taylor and others - --they are talking this way to virtually everyone. the fact is, if we are in the

arena, we are going to be treated equally. that was the crime. maloney through this process takes her by the hand, holding her hand like a little girl, taking her along -- i mean, that is the sexism. that is the insult where all the male witnesses face the same thing and nobody was worried about their mental state. >> tucker: exactly right. really, wanted the most patronizing things i can imagine. thank you for pointing that out. >> they meant it to be about sexism but i think it's turning around on the very hardly. >> tucker: right, tells you more about them. good to see you tonight. thanks so much. check out "get tammy bruce." every tuesday on fox nation. hundred millions of americans have an app on their phone that china can very well be using to spy on them. we'll tell you which app that is. that's worth sticking around for a bit with impeachment everywhere, how much of this and other news did you catch? up ahead with final exam coming

like on one of those standardized tests, is this an isosceles triangle? that's what i thought right away. i'm not sure what it was. then they start talking about how you can shoot it up with bullets and they show that demonstration. in case you are hauling hay and somebodies firing at you i guess is what it would be great about that. they show shooting it up with bullets and then comes the window demonstration. of course, you know, glass can be serious. one of the biggest problems in technology. apple went through that with the iphone. they wanted to make a glass, not plastic -- they were afraid with the glass it's going to shatter. this is a hard thing to do. but you would think they would practice it a whole bunch of times and when they do it twice. he says, do you want me to the back window? and, okay. they go for it and shatters again? it was a total disaster. by the way, why would you want to use a delorean as a pickup truck? i don't get it! what are you going to put in the back? i don't see the pickup back of it.

kinds of data that can be stored in the massive chinese database which they admit themselves, they've already got. that may not be the main threat. the main threat is that china can show it can beat facebook at its own game. they are now a billion users of this tiktok app worldwide, tucker. that's happened in just two years. a lot of venture capital, as you know -- i explain in my book, we taught the chinese how they could grow their technology companies to be our own, how the venture capital industry to react like a bully. this app, this idea, has now gone to the biggest start-up, $75 billion start-up. this shows, to me, the chinese marathon to surpass us in various technology sectors is well at work, and they just don't have any inhibitions about children under 13 providing data through this kind of -- what should we call it? high-technology invention it's

very impressive how china has done this in just the last three years. facebook wants to catch up or they have a program called lasso, which will probably be more ethical and not as successful as with the chinese have done. it's a threat on several layers, data collection and what they surpass us and what thought to be the american genius, high-tech companies over the internet that have a start up value of over $170 billion. >> tucker: you can see where this is going. thank you for that analysis. good to see you tonight. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: strangling the american dream for millions of young people, but the trump administration says the time for reform is far past. it's time to blow the whole system. he joins us next to explain why. dana perino versus jesse watters in a wild final exam. who will win? that's straight-ahead. ll win?

sort of hate filled country. it's gone to a place of not just caring about the individual that purports to this -- they don't care about individual trans people, they are doing harm to individual trans people than anyone else. they only care about increasingly this bizarre social marxism thing -- how many delusions they can get away with forcing on the american people. and ultimately at the end of the day and hurts the individuals that these groups of they were one supposed to look after. >> tucker: ingratiates all of us, forcing us to pretend thate men can get pregnant forces us into ridiculous figures but not playing along. thank you for your bravery for telling the obvious truth. we will be back, monday night 8:00 p.m. the sworn and totally sincere enemy of lying, pomposity smugness, groupthink. sean hannity is next from new york.
