with in assessing it is that it's a cluster. >> tucker: it seems that way. >> it really is. they share amount of candidates that are in the race, the democratic primary field, democrats as a whole are incredibly divided, trying to figure out what they believe, what direction we are going to go in. the dnc dipping its hand in the 2016 election against bernie sanders, also by the fact that hillary clinton, an establishment candidate, lost weight if you are bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, somebody was an outsider, why not run, becaue the establishment candidate in 2016, all these candidates and their race, there really isn't a clear frontrunner. with interesting, even if you go to states like iowa and you look at polling and the most recent "des moines register," they are sending conflicting messages because you have the vast majority of voters at saint, our number one priority is defeating donald trump. the majority believe that biden is the candidate most likely to do it. yet pete buttigieg is leading the pack with 25% and biden's at

15%. so we are in this interesting territory right now. in terms of the candidates who are at the front runners right now, you've got biden, warren, sanders, then you've got mayor pete right now. those of the top four, looking at iowa and new hampshire, which are the 21st contests. >> tucker: how long does that last? what i'm surprised by is that we are still disclosed to the first road and i will come of this many candidates. who do you think is likely to drop out? >> i didn't even know that john delaney was still in the race. i know that they posted a video of him working out the other day and he said something about 2020 and i completely forgot he was in the race. low-hanging fruit like that -- >> tucker: in a normal year, what john delaney be taken more serious? is a serious guy, a good guy. the party has gone so nuts. he's n not even in it. >> i don't think we will have a clearer idea of how this thing will shake out until we are

after iowa, new hampshire, two states that have determinative his historically dating back to the 1970s, both in the republican and democratic primaries. i don't think we will have a clearer idea. what is interesting about the outcome of the reason why you see people like bloombergg entering the race is only 4% of the overall delegates will be allocated in e first four states. even after that, we might go until march 17th because you've got over 60% will have been delegated by them. typically, the field starts to shake out after iowa, after new hampshire. if you look at polling right now, mayor pete is pretty well-positioned. that also could change. warren was leading the packac previously and iowa until she got pummeled in the two debates ago. te>> tucker: mayor pete as a child who represents a totally insignificant city in the middle west and hasn't done a good job doing it. if he is the frontrunner in iowa, the people are in trouble. >> who is a candidate? that is what democrats are struggling. if you look at joe biden, who has been leading the pack

nationally but struggling and iowa and new hampshire, he's not a strong candidate. even obama tried pushing him out in 2016 and 2020. but ultimately, maybe he ends up being the nominee by complete default, by nature of being part of that obama-biden administration, because they are -- who also is there? >> tucker: as he said at the outset, a cluster. can i make a final note, a spiritual point. all very much deserved. they've earned this. they burned the chaos, the sadness that they are reaping now. >> i went into this and i was trying to give some clear statement of putting a crystallized angle, and the only thing i could come up with is that it's complete cluster. the other part i can't say on national television. >> tucker:n no, you can. we get your point. lisa boothe, thank you. america's national debt meanwhile is more than $24 trillion. whatever. the democratic race, that is pocket change. candidates are competing to see who can promise the most over most over-the-top spending

programs. to fight global warming, which is an existential crisis, they keep telling you. unlike actual environmental crises like littering. they are promising to spend money like it's the end of the world because they think it is. so it's a good thing that they at leastd claim the world is really ending. stick with a climate that is rapidly approaching the point oo return, endangering the future of young generations. >> is getting more and more dangerous out there, worsere and worse for her life on this earth. >> you can't wait to take on what is happening on the planet and its existential o threat to the world. >> this is one of those moments. history will judge us. where did you stand when the planet was in peril? >> it represents an existential threat to us as a species. >> cities all over the world will be underwater by the end of the century. this is scary stuff. >> tucker: it just goes to show, if you'll make the case

that climate change is ann existential threat, you have to learn how to pronounce t existential. not all of them have learned. elizabeth warren, meanwhile, promising to spend trillions of dollars every year providing free health care, the best health care, for everyone, including any foreign national living here illegally because she is not generous. that would require a massive tax hike on everyone, very much included in the middle class, no way around that.ry warren continues to lie about it anyway. a >> will you raise taxes on these middle class to pay for it? yes or no prey to speak with the cost will go off for the wealthy and for big corporations, and for hardworking middle-class families, costs will go down. hardworking middle-class families are going to see their costs go down. >> whether taxes go up? >> here's the thing -- >> here's the thing. i listen to these answers a few times before. >> how much are your costs going to go down? different question.

how much do your taxes go up? >> how much beer costs -- how much families end up paying. >> i know that argument but i know -- what you pay more in taxes? why don't you want to answer the question? it's a republican talking point -- it's not a republican talking point. it's a question. >> tucker: i'll ask the questions here, says elizabeth warren. get federal money cable show! for more on that exchange and other costly democratic proposals, we are joined now by the one man we know who can do math, justin haskins. justin, great to see you tonight. i don't know if you are keepingu on your personal calculator a running tally of what all of it is going to cost but it's expensive, correct? >> yes. it's really expensive. if you are going to talk about expensive plans, you got to start with a green new deal, the most radical, dangerous, destructive policy proposal in modern american history. this couldld cost up to $94 trillion according to the american action forum in just the first ten years. that is more than four times the

current national debt. it would impose all kinds of socialist programs, like free college tuition, basic income programs, a variety of social justice programs, single-payer health care has been lumped into that, federal jobs guarantee, which couldat cost 6 trillion to $45 trillion, and that doesn't include all of the environmental part of the green new deal. it would destroy the fossil fuel industry, kicking millions of people out of their jobs that work in the fossil fuel industry, forcing everyone to buy more expensive, less reliable wind and solar energy, limiting fossil fuel-powered cars, most cars driving around the road, possibly phasing out air travel as well, upgrading every single home and business building in the country. i mean, this is absolutely crazy stuff, tucker. there is no way -- >> tucker: is it a good idea to turn your political party, which i think is the oldest political party in the english speaking world, over to someone

who just turned 30, never had a real job, has never had children, has never even been married, has never actually donr anything. should that person be the person who outlines your entire agenda? is that a good idea, do you think? >> [laughs] >> i think it's a horrible idea. >> tucker: all right, okay. horrible idea. >> horrible idea. >> tucker: all the polling, we've seen a lot of polling, what independents want, because they are the one whose boats matters obviously combined own owned, but the votes that matter, the number one concern for those people's physical rectitude come with a budget deficit, money, spending money we don't have. what are they going to make of these proposals, seriously? >> i think the democratic party is more than shooting themselves in the. foot. they are committing political suicide. did they not pay attention to what happened in 2016? if you want to win the election, you have to win in the midwest. do you think that the midwest wants the green new deal?

do you think that the midwest wants to destroy manufacturing and send millions of jobs overseas? of course not! this is so stupid! >> tucker: it is stupid. thank you for saying that so clearly because you are clearly right. justin haskins, great to see you tonight. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: mayor de blasio is out of the presidential rate but a new new york mayor, mayor bloomberg, is in. why would bloomberg get more support than the mayor who followed him? we'll explore a new doom to campaign next. plus, nobody wants hillary clinton in the race, even in the democratic party come but she keepstiti threateng to run again. is she going to do it? we will tell you us are continuous. ♪ in when you move homes, you move more than just yourself.

maybe there does need to be a rematch. obviously i can beat him again. >> tucker: robert portillo is an attorney and a democrat. he predicted that hillary would get back in the race. is that a crazy theory? >> i think she will get in the race. >> tucker: of course she is.s >> anytime i candidate who seriously has a book tour for some random book, they are running for something. >> tucker: robert portillo joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. as part of our ongoing effort to update our productions, all of ours, mine, yours, i just wanted to check in with you tonight, because you are a fairly well-connected democrat, and ask you, do you still think this is right that hillary is getting in, if so, when, and what her prospects? >> i think the odds are higher than when we before that she'll get in. let's understand, the recent wlling shows there is a four way split at the top of the race and you may very well have a

four separate winners for each of the early primary states. mayor pete wins iowa, bernie wentz new hampshire, joe biden went to south carolina, warren wins nevada, then that means going into super tuesday, yount have no clear frontrunner. hillary clinton has 100% name recognition, she has a formidable fund-raising base, she has a clear reason to run come a rematch of 2016 where she won by over 3 million votes and has a gran ground game to win te rust belt. if joe biden isn't able to lock down this nomination within the next two months, there is no reason for her to jump in prior to super tuesday. >> tucker: what about the practical hurdles you hear consultants talk about? like ballot access. she has to be on the ballot in all these different states, it'o too late, she can't raise the money. r are those real hurdles are not? >> those will be hurdles for anybody else except for b

hillary clinton, who, for all intents and purposes, has been running for president since 1988. you have a ground game which is in place, from the hr88. team '8 campaign. consultants leaving other top campaigns, and as more of a dropout, and joe biden's top latina advisor left the campaign. those people are in place.. she has a ground game, she has clearly the fund-raising apparatus. for someone like deval patrick, is it reasonable or realistic for him to win? no. but for someone like hillary clinton who already has the apparatus in place, it's almost a turnkey operation. you come in, turn the key, flip the lights on, you have a 50 state campaign already in place. >> tucker: it's like living in a hotel. you don't even haveg to hang te pictures. let mee ask you, though. maybe the one piece that we haven't addressed could be thess most important piece, which is voters. are there enough a lot of democratic voters who want to see hillary run again? >> what the democratic base losses uniting, unifying figure. right now, the party is

completely splintered. you have about 30% in the bernie-/warren wing of the party, 70% who are staunchly against that wing of the party, we sub reports this week of president obama saying that he will step in to make sure that bernie sanders does not get the nomination. for splinterave between joe biden, pete buttigieg, amy klobuchar, some of the other moderate candidates, there is this idea you just need a uniting factor to bring the desperate aspects together. >> tucker: you mak make auc compelling case. thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: whoever wins the democratic nomination will of course take on the president in theen fall. has the party learned anything at all from its loss three years ago? can they even grasp why donald trump won in the first place? we'll explore that question in depth as our special continues next. ♪

line began at the inauguration. perhaps you remember this claim, which at the time deeply offended official washington. >> here's a picture of the crowd. the audience was the biggest ever. this crowd was massive. look at how far back it goes. >> tucker: we are not going to lie to you. that was untrue. the crowd at the 2017 inauguration was not the largest ever measured on the national mall. sorry, it wasn't. why did the president claimant was? because that's who he is. donald trump is a salesman. he's a talker, a poster, a booster, a compulsive self promoter. at times, he's a full-blown b.s. artist. if trump hadn't gotten rich and real estate, he could have made a fortune selling cars. most people know this. it's obvious, transparent, really. so is lying really the reason the left despises donald trump? or of the problem we, as is so often the case, the exact opposite of particular emitters?

think back over the last four years. when have the cnn anchor is been the angriest? was that when donald trump told some whopper or exaggerated his accomplishments? no. we are used to that. anyone who spent time around politicians is used to it. what infuriates officialot washington is not when trump lies, it's when he tells the truth. truth is the real threat to their power. there is an unspoken agreement among people in charge of our country not to talk about what has happened to it. they are personally implicated in its decline, for one thing, often they are profiting from it. the last thing they want is the national a conversation about wt went wrong. so they maintain an increasingly strict policy of mandatory reality avoidance. everything is fine, they shout, voices rising and hysteria. diversity of is our strength! shut up or we'll hurt you! trump won't shut up. he keeps talking. that's his crime. that is why they hate him. it started with his very first speech as a presidential

candidate. >> whatt mexico sends its peopl, they are not sending their best. they are not sending you, they are not sending you. they are sending people that have lots of problems and they are bringing those problems with us. they are bringing drugs, they are bringing crime, they are rapists, and some, i assume, are good people. >> tucker: trump didn't claim that everyone o coming over the southern border is a criminal but some are and that's true. precisely because it is true, you are absolutely come under no circumstances, allowed to say it. acknowledging that not every illegal alien improves america raises an uncomfortable question. if illegal immigration has a downside, then why has washington allowedas so much of it? if the people in charge actually cared about us, they would protect our borders. but they don't care, so they have left millions and millions of foreigners, whose names we don't even know for certain, stream and from abroad to use

our services, lower our wages, and yes, in some cases, commit crimes. that is all true, which almost, by definition, made it unacceptable to say. the news anchors pretended that by saying it, trump was somehow attacking defenseless mexicans but actually he was attacking them, the gatekeepers in our national media. the people who should have been about allhe alarm this, but instead made common cause with the ruling class they were supposed to be covering and keeping honest.or our system is rotten and corrupt and the news media are a major reason for why that is. that is what donald trump pointed out. not surprisingly, they despised him for doing it. ask yourself, what's a bigger scandal to your average journalist? the fact that homicidal ms-13 gang members have flooded into this country from central america and to now terrorize communities from los angeles to long island? or the possibility that someone might complain about that? we don't need to guess the answer because last year donald trump dared to complain about ms-13.

watch. >> so when the ms-13 comes in, when the other gang members coming to our country, i refer to them as animals, and guess what, i always will. >> tucker: keep in mind that the motto of ms-13 is literally "kill, rape, control." you may not know that because details of what ms-13 is and what they do have received fario less media attention than donald trump's criticism of the gang. murdering the people with knives might be bad but insulting illegal alien murderers is, and the moral hierarchy of washington, a far greater sin. >> there is a serious problem with the president to humanizing any group of people in the united states, even if they are hardened criminals. d >> the history of political leaders dehumanizing opponents, even criminals, and using animal metaphors is a dangerous one. >> is a very slippery slope when you start dehumanizing people this way. it's what the nazis did.

we are all god's children. when the president of united united states says, these aren't people, these are animals, you have to wonder, does he not believe in humanity? >> tucker: we are all god's children, she tells us, someone spoken. lost in the haze of all this moralizing was any meaningfuly discussion of those policies. a cynic might say that was by design. it was the whole point of the tantrum. it is certainly a theme in washington. a similar passion play unfolded just a few months before whened the president was heard speaking candidly about immigration in the white house. during a conversation with advisors, trump asked why so many immigrants come to the u.s. from impoverished countries. if immigration is supposed to make america better, he asked, shouldn't we try to draw people from the most advanced societies? it's an obvious question. you canci debated but it's a rel question. so of course, cnn had to screamu at you to make sure you would

never ask that question. >> this is very deeply offensive language. o the president quoted here, "why are we having all these people from [bleep] countries come here." >> president trump's shocking and racist remarks coming from [bleep] countries, smirking discussed. >> do you have an example of any belief country that the president refer to that is caucasian?se >> not surprised. in one way, i am proud. i am a proud [bleep]er. >> at all, we are not all created equal, at least not if you were born and, as the president put it, a [bleep] country. >> my desperate grandparents, from a country that was considered a [bleep] by people like the president. >> tucker: oh, the posturing. let's be real. is there a single living person who disagrees with trump's assessment of haiti? probably not, certainly haitian immigrants agree with him. that is why they moved here. nobody on any of the cnn panels you just saw is relocating to

haiti for the same reason. also, helsinki, vienna, vancouver, no problem.an port-au-prince, no thanks. if you want to know what people actually think, ignore what they say, especially on television. watch what they do. no one really believes haiti is a bad place. on the other hand, criticizing haiti in public must be forbidden. that is what it's about. that's what it's always about. pick a topic. last year after the killing of saudi columnist jamal khashoggi kim president trump said in effect, that while he disapproved of the murder, of course, saudi arabia remains a u.s. ally. the president tsai to the $450 billion worth of saudi investments in the united states as well as saudi agreements to buy more than $100 billion in american military equipment. we broke our alignment with the saudis, he said, the u.s. economy would suffer and china and russia would benefit instead. now whatever you think of the saudis, and most people find them revolting, we certainly do,

what he said is literally true. this is the arrangement we have. this is the arrangement we have had with the saudi kingdom for generations now. everyone in washington knows that because a lot of them are actually on the saudi payroll. trump's crime was saying it out loud. that is always a crime. the same is true with baltimorem baltimore ba may be the most depressing city on the seaboard. it's only an hour away from washington. if you want to go from washington to new york, you have to pass your baltimore. if it's daylight out, there's no denying the awful reality of the police. this summer, the president told the rest of the world what it's like. baltimore, he said, is a "rodent infested hellhole, not to mention a corrupt mess," all undeniably true. the latest mayor of the town just went to jail again. but the obvious follow-up is why is baltimore so bad? how did it get so poor and so hopeless? of course, part of the answer

is, 50 years of uninterrupted democratic party rule has not helped baltimore very much. but saying that would be embarrassing to the democratic party, so the party's apologists don't want to have a conversation. instead, they attacked the man who tried to start it. >> this weekend, racist messages ranging from the president's d twitter feed. >> donald trump masterfully makes it a racist debate about baltimore. >> another research attack on an african-american member of congress and the city he represents. >> the president is, as he usually is, or often is, disgusting and racist. >> he uses racist appeal, bait and switch. >> and the most bigoted and racist way. >> tucker: meanwhile in washington, the leaders of the episcopal church, and for the sake of technical agency, accuracy, imagine quotes around "church." they called his quotes about baltimore dangerous. you know they felt virtuous issuing the statement but nothing changed ing baltimore.

baltimore remained actually dangerous, not in some theoretical, academic, episcopal church kind of way, where all thelt violence is to your feelings. but real danger, the kind where your kid gets shot riding his bike to the store. that is what like his life in the physical city of baltimore. the place were msnbc contributors and left-wing protestant clerics fear to tread. that place is sad and desperate and screwed up and absolutely not one person in washington, d.c., cares at all that it is. except to the extent they want to make certain that you never think or talk about baltimore because thinking or talking about baltimore or for that matter thinking or talking about mass immigration, the war in afghanistan, middle-class life expectancy in decline, pick something, thinking or talking about any of that might point out their own egregious failures and selfishness, which are profound. whatever we do, we can't bring that up because it's embarrassing. instead, let's just agree that donald trump is a racist liar and move on. by the way, did you know that he's up to almost 14,000 lives

by now? my gosh, what a bad person he is. unlike us. democrats are pandering hard for the african-american of our partner polling suggests president trump could be winning over some of those voters traditionally democrats. that's next on tonight's special. one reason democrats are pandering is because of the race to the bottom on wokeness. how was the party become so obsessed with race, gender, sexual orientation, and is there any escape from that cul-de-sac, that morass, the dead end that leads nowhere good? we'll tell you after the break.

>> ♪ ♪ >> tucker: welcome back to her and make a special presentation on 2020 election. african-americans are traditionally the most loyal m

block of democratic voters, and one of the largest. not naturally, democrats want to give that support. it is essential if they want to enact anydi race. for many candidates, appeals for both are turning into pandering. earlier this year, they all went up to kiss the ring of former fbi informant al sharpton. it's why they are denouncing the whole country is racist, even r inventing new kinds of racism you never heard of. >> we live in a country now where the president is advancing environmental racism, economic racism, criminal justice and back racism, health care racism. >> we can't be blind to the impact of generations of racism and white supremacy that were written into our laws.

>> tucker: so democratic leaders are telling african-american voters, you've got a lot to be angry about but if you look at the polls, african-american voters don't seem that angry. recent polling bothn- have troue getting about 34% approval from african-american voters. those numbers, are they real? and attorney in u.s. civil rights commissioner joins us tonight. peter, thank you so muchth for joining us. i've never seen any number like that. a couple of polls have that in that range. should we believe those numbers and what do they tell us? >> i think you can believe them because although rasmussen and amberson are both recent, at least in the last three months, we've had other polls that show similar data. pretty extraordinary when you consider heat at a similar point in his presidency, the lesser republican presidency, george w. bush, had a 14% approval rating. he got about 11% of the black vote. we've never seen 34%, at least since the eisenhower era, because we know the democratic party, or the democratic candidates, typically polls or get in a presidential

election between 85 to 95% of the black vote. it's imperative to get that otherwise they go the way of the whig party. to get 34% approval rating, use the term existential in the past, i think that it's almost an existential threat for the republican party, if, in fact, it's the case, and i think it may be for at least a confluence about four factors. one, the best economy ever for black americans. the unemployment rate is the lowest ever, full 33.2 -- percentage points lower than obama's best black unemployment numbers, median household income is the best ever. there is another factor.th it's kind of a variant, black variant on the hillbilly elegy. as was noted in 2016, everyone else missed it. the movement of blue-collar white voters to trump and everyone was dead. i think there is something ngppening along those lines at a smaller level, but a similar dynamic, where you've got a

populist distrust among many blacks for the institutions that have failed them. including congressional black caucus, the media, the democratic party at large, which in many cities, the democratic party has had an unchallenged rule 470, 80 years with no improvement, there's been a downward flow. in addition to that, you look at the messages that the democratic candidates have been trying to sell, and they are almost literally insane. they don't have any residents of the black community, just as they don't have resonance in much of the -- >> tucker: can i ask a really quick, what percentage would you say come off the top of your heart, for african-american voters, even understand -- i don't understand -- the gender stuff, men can have babies, is that a pretty popular message in the black community? >> i've lived in the same all-black neighborhood for about 35 years. you don't hear anybody talking about that. you don't hear about the green new deal. would you do here is a little bit of frustration with

democrats throwing them onto the bus in favor of illegal immigrants. shiny new object despite the fact that blacks have been loyal to the democratic party for at least 80 years. again, 90% of the black vote. the open borders agenda is harming the black community profoundly in terms of labor market, so you don't hear this kind of stuff that you hear from the candidates being discussed at the dinner table. finally, you have to understande that donald trump is making the greatest outreach to the black community of any republican president in our lifetime. i've lived in the same place for 35 years, and that 35 year period not, i received only one g.o.p.p. flyer. trump is making an aggressive outreach. it's paying off some dividends. he doesn't need to have a 34% polling with blacks to prevail. all he needs is to boots that percentage. 8% last time, about typical for republican candidates. if he gets it up to 12, 13%, game over. >> tucker: as a mathematical question, that's exactly right.

thank you so much with that analysis. really interesting. >>is happy thanksgiving. >> tucker: and to you. in an ideal world, presidential candidateses would compete over who was best qualified, the right ideas to help america. but we live in a cartoon world at best. instead, democrats are in a constant woke off, and drama competing to see who can have the dumbest views on race, sexual orientation. >> why she did on the right guy to be president? >> a white guy who doesn't see other identities understand how the experiences, should not be. i do. >> i'll be must bore mindful going forward, the way that i talk about our marriage, and the way i acknowledge the truth of the criticism that i he enjoyed white privilege. >> thank you, guys. my pronouns are she, her, and her. >> she, her, and her. mine too.

>> tucker: [laughs] the best thing the governor's brother has ever said. chadwick more as a journalist in new york city, very smart man, frequent guest on our show. [laughs] i don't know what to think about the fact that the two woke-asked guys, probably two of the dumbest guys, they are out. there are woke up this did not save them in the end should not make them happy or sad? >> great question.e i don't know what to say. >> tucker: do you think in the end, the woke thing has any appeal outside of your old neighborhood? >> it really doesn't seem to unless you are talking about donors perhaps. maybe the lgbt lobby, college professors. i think they are bringing on the youth vote with the woke nice. china is not shaking and the boots because we want to give free changes to illegals under president warren. >> tucker: is not a proposal? >> i think she mentioned that we will help transgender illegals of the border, whatever.

if they are trying to -- >> tucker: wait a second. if our diversity is our strength, then shouldn't -- that's a show of force in the face of china. we are going to -- no? >> [laughs] i think china's model of the control over their people is their strength. maybe that is with the democratic party is going for. >> tucker: good point. >> they might be snapping out of it. after that lgbt town hall whichd is basically an episode of jerry springer, a lot of americans were cringing. jethe democrat party -- we've sn them become a little more moderate when they were in ohio, they were very, very moderate, not talking about trade, general motors, and we didn't see any lgbt stuff come up in the last debate. so maybe they are -- >> tucker: i think your average person watching, even your averagege republican thinking, i am not against gay

people, then you turn that thing on -- >> what did we sent out for? what is this? >> tucker: people grabbing the microphone, screaming, talking about biology that is literally impossible. >> bringing children into it. most average americans don't care. they have a live and let live attitude. republican or democrat. maybe they are 20 down on the wokeness. that did not start off that way. the debates have been calmer. they are focusing on the insane policies like the green new deal and what have you. >> tucker: jeez. i don't operate i can't tell either. i am sincerely confused. i hope you will continue with this for the length and breadth of this. great to see you. >> my pleasure. >> tucker: we will close tonight's special on a solenoid. mark steyn joins us to remember all the 2020 candidates who could notot make it to 2020. that is next. grilled flav ors of an outdoor grill indoors,

♪ >> tucker: ending tonight's special on a serious note, there's still a lot of democrat is left in the 2020 race club parade we've also lost quite a few on the way. beto o'rourke posing on "vanity fair." kristen gillibrand, lecturing america on its immorality. [laughs] sorry, had to laugh. eric swalwell, totally forgot he ran for president until just now.ma author and columnist mark steyn is one of the great obituary

writers of the time and he has remembered every departed candidate. he joins us tonight to remember them. great to see you. >> they could raise from the grave. they are actually no more dead than many of the candidates that are still in the race. >> tucker: that's literally true. >> i always think first of all of bill de blasio, i think a democrat mayor of new york is a thing. it was an important thing. and bill de blasio reduced it to nothing. what i loved about it is, that time he couldn't make it to iowa. he missed the plane. he taped his message, and unfortunately came out with him doing it in an alvin and the chipmunks voice. that's how much they hated it in new york. >> tucker: even has audio guy hated him. >> so if he was still in the

race, he's the only candidate that could actually do, "i want a hula-hoop," from the christmas song from the chipmunks. because he was pulling at 0%, he should have said -- this is my real voice. let's have a look at it. here it is. >> i guarantee working people like every other industrialized country in the world, guarantee working people, guaranteed by law two weeks paid vacation every year. >> he should have said, i can't keep up the deep voice. this is my real voice. chipmunk american to run for president. he would have been great. [laughter] >> tucker: i want to see his acorns. so, beto is gone. the guys at "vanity fair" thought he would be around forever. >> beto fascinated me because he actually apologized for everything, culminating in

apologizing for being born. but curiously enough instead of making way for an undocumented transgender to take their rightful place the head of the american nation, he said the only way he could atone for his white privilege and excessively toxic masculinity, was by becoming the head of state. he kind of gave the game away. so, that doesn't make any difference. >> tucker: it's a pretext to seizing more power, isn't it? >> he was interesting in the way he used the f word more than any other candidate. "the atlantic" wrote a thoughtful piece on how this hau actually made him more credible. and in fact the more he used the f word, the more he was a total dweeb. >> tucker: therend is an inverse iq. >> kirsten gillibrand. >> tucker: oh, gosh.

>> she lectured the voters of youngstown, ohio, on their white privilege. youngstown, in case you've never heard it it's apparently the martha's vineyard of northeastern ohio. n it's the malibu of the northeastern ohio. the barbra streisands of northeastern ohio all live in youngstown and that's why kirsten gillibrand lectured them on how they have the white privilege. the fact that you don't know that you have it in youngstown -- >> tucker: not enough were dying of fentanyl overdoses. you just reminded me. mark steyn, great to see you as always. >> good to see you. happy thanksgiving. >> tucker: happy thanksgiving. that's it for tonight's 2020 special. we will be back every night at 8:00. the show that's the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and groupthink. have a great night. ♪

♪ ♪ >> jason: welcome to the special edition of "hannity." i'm jason chaffetz in tonight for sean. for over three years, democrats have thrown everything but the kitchen sink at president trump. yet the president remains unfazed. his rallies are as massive as ever, his poll numbers are getting stronger, and he hasn't lost his sense of humor. today, he tweeted out this image depicting himself as rocky balboa members while the media mob fetch their pearls. the analogy here could not be more perfect. like rocky, president trump knows how to take a punch and persevere and fight back. at last nig
