tv Tucker Carlson Tonight FOX News December 6, 2019 5:00pm-6:00pm PST
5:00 pm
busy monday at 7 p.m. have a great weekend. good night. >> good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. >> tucker: democrats spend an awful lot of time accusing donald trump of dividing america, of splitting the country into warring factions. the democratic party in contrast will tell you it's the party of unity, the party that brings everyone together. 2016, one of hillary clinton's many slogans was stronger together. it's not a bad message. in fact, it's a great message, but it emphatically does not apply to the democratic party. the democrats as of right now are profoundly divided and getting more so. consider this. joe biden is still at the top of
5:01 pm
the polls. alexandria ocasio-cortez has become the party's top trend setter, no document she's got more twitter followers than any democrat in congress. how much do biden and cortez like eve other? that's a trick question. they despise each other. cortez thinks biden is pathetic. biden thinks cortez is an extremist nut. of course, they are both right. here's joe guiden. >> medicare for all. >> the party is not there at all. >> some of your opponents are. >> yeah, but the party is not there. the party moved to the left after hillary. she's a bright and wonderful person but where is the party? come on, man. >> that's not the only feud under way tonight. biden himself is under attack for his presence in what democrats regard as one of the most racist and bigoted
5:02 pm
administrations in the history of this country, barack obama's administration. >> the obama-biden legacy includes more than three million people deported. >> should you be apologizing for anything? >> no, i think what we should be doing is acknowledging that comparing what president obama did and what trump did is night and day. >> but the numbers are there? >> no, no, no. i understand that that's what the law was at the time. >> tucker: that's what the law was at the time. like 20 minutes ago. actually, it's still the law. right now. it's always been law. what's changed is the democrats now have no patience for the law. elsewhere in the party, buttigieg is under fire for hiding details of his service at mckenzie. one of the creepier agencies. he's being accused of being a faithful servant of wall street,
5:03 pm
like so many, he enthusiastically is. like hillary clinton and chuck schumer. >> it's even more important that the candidates expose possible conflicts of interest right now, and that means, for example, that the mayor should be releasing who is on his finance committee. who are raising big money for him. who he's given titles to and made promises to, and he should open up the doors. so the press can follow the promises he's making in these big dollar phrases. too tight looks like that won't happen. moments ago, a statement was issued saying he would love to tell you what he did as a consultant but he can't because he signed a confidentiality agreement. in other words, he'll be fighting on your side but in the end he's really here to protect mckenzie because he signed the contract. ouch! clearly elizabeth warren will
5:04 pm
continue with that line of attack. buttigieg -- at least warren is not calling him a race it. mayor bloomberg is not so lucky. recently he made the tiny mayor of complementing booker as being well spoken which is considered a vast improvement over mumbling or inarticulate. he called bloomberg a racist. >> mayor bloomberg said you're well spoken. >> i was taken aback by it, it's sort of stunning at times that we're still revisiting these sort of tired, you know, tropes or the language that we have out there. the fact that folks don't understand is problematic. >> tucker: you got that. get a pen. it's racist to praise the speaking skills of a blue eyed rhodes scholar that went to law
5:05 pm
school. a few hours ago bloomberg took the only option and he gravelled, meaning he'll do anything to be president, he prostrated himself and begged for forgiveness. he'll never call booker well spoken again, he said. what's happening? well, for years democrats have denounced trump and his voters as racist, probably including you. now, and this was inevitable because every revolution eats itself. they are using identity politics against one another. so when kamala harris got out of the race they told you on cable news, racism and sexism were to blame. racism and sexism of democratic voters. amazing. and if pete buttigieg loses, and of course, he will because his appeal is tiny and narrow, it's the news media and democratic primary voters in new hampshire and iowa, when that happens, you'll hear everyone tell you on msnbc and cnn it was because of
5:06 pm
homophone yeah. none of this should surprise you. the democratic party is built on division. they divide themselves into categories. some are good, some are bad. it's a genes party and not the kind you wear and here's the problem for the democrats. simultaneously, even as it's the party of identity politics it's the party of wall street. the party of people who defend private equity. the party of people who have fought to keep carried interest in the tax code. people who have made absolutely certain they pay literally half what you pay as a wage earner. they are also a massive and key component of the democratic party so these two groups are in it together. in other words, it may be cortez's party at the polling booth but mike bloomberg and pete buttigieg and their friends still pay for everything. so how can a coalition like that survive? it can't survive. the democratic party as we know
5:07 pm
it is doomed and it couldn'tk of course -- couldn't, of course, happen to better people. >> we don't share the same political views, you're a leftist but i think you know a lot about the democratic party. i think you're a pretty good sherpa, a pretty good guide to what's going on. you tell me, what are the components parts of the democratic party? who is the feud between? >> the way you sort of laid it out is in some ways right. the democratic party for a long time has been a party that's funded by wall street. basically a capitalist party that is on certainly social issues and racial issues in disagreement with the other capitalist party and that's the basic shape of things. what some people in the democratic party, bernie sanders, aoc, me, to sort of put myself on a list like that, something like a working class, genuinely multiworking class, that's a lot more attuned to the needs of its voters and isn't
5:08 pm
funded by mike bloomberg giving cory booker a million dollars to run his races. that's what some people want and that's the source of the civil rights war. a foundational challenge to what the democratic party has been for quite some time. >> tucker: this happened kind of in a muted way, and i think a lot of details were obscured from us, the public in 2016, in the race between hillary and bernie which was framed in all kind of different ways but it was a difference in economic vision. that's my read on it. >> absolutely. >> and short-circuited bernie's campaign. what do you think will happen now? >> the interesting thing about 2016 is it proved how much pent up demand there was for a pent up party. lots of people can say i don't take billionaire checks but bernie sanders couldn't get them if he wanted to. it was surprising how much a lot of people wanted that. that the senator from vermont who was barely trying to win was able too take like 22 states from one of the most overwhumg
5:09 pm
front-runners ever. now what's happening is what happened in 2016 to the republicans. the pent undemand is there and the other side of it, the people who want to keep the party the way it is are fractured. everybody would like to get heads up with sanders in the same way everybody wanted to get heads up with trump but they can't agree among themselves who will be the champion of this and we know what happened last time. >> tucker: i just don't see how cortez and bloomberg can coexist in the same political party. >> nor do they and nor should. they it's very strange in the united states. if you look at the democrat and republican parties why, is it the 10 wealthiest congressional districts are represented by democrats. if you have a working class party, if you look at england that's not true. tories represent rich people so it would make more sense to have a genuinely working class party and if you're a billionaire there is a party for you. it's just not us. good luck and the republicans will give you a tax cut anyway so go for it.
5:10 pm
that would be a much more clear alignment and a much more overwhelmingly favorenabable alignment than what they have got now. >> tucker: i'm starting to think the difference between you and me is i'm very much hoping the billionaires stay on the democratic side and you're hoping they migrate to the republican side. >> as long as they are in one party or the other i don't care, as long as we can have a multiworking class coalesce, call it whatever you want. that i think is the idea. >> tucker: i agree with you completely and i hope it's a socialist conservative party. great to see you tonight. thank you so much. >> thank. >> tucker: house speaker pelosi has the job of trying to hold together her party. yesterday she announced impeachment was moving forward and then the rest of us got to watch the press gush about what a wonderful strong woman,
5:11 pm
someone who was saving the republic. watch this. >> a very, very certain confident and steely nancy pelosi today. >> listening to the speaker, it was kind of comforting, and that was really refreshing and i think frankly it was impressive, too. >> like hillary clinton on big day she wore white which is the color of the jets -- which i think underlines sort of the momentousness of what's going on here. she's very similar to my parents in that regard. they don't talk about hateful feelings, about other human beings. >> we saw in the exchange how fierce she can be. >> my heart is completely filled with pride. >> she moves with such dignity with such grace, with such moral authority. [laughter] >> tucker: unbelievable. she's very much like my parents, says the governor's brother. pretty nauseating. but there was one figure on television yesterday who took it
5:12 pm
to the next level. over at msnbc larry o'donald appeared to be auditions for the role of court eunuch in the ottoman empire. watch this. >> like so much that nancy pelosi does in her unscripted verse of eloquence, moral indignation this one was multidimensional. there she was. as her catholic religion has taught her to do since she was a little girl and there she was. she seized the moment as dramatically as anything fiction writer could have provided for any fictional politician in a movie scene. you could feel. you could feel the power. >> tucker: how much did they have to pay to say something like that? seriously. what would be the price for you to look into the camera. refer to nancy pelosi as someone given, and i'm quoting,
5:13 pm
unscripted burst of eloquence and moral indignation. unscripted. i hope it's a lot. if that didn't make you sick enough, there is this. at this very moment online you can buy a don't mess with nancy sweat shirt. it's only $40. see what that does for your dating life. >> unscripted eloquence. i know that you're a democrat but nancy pelosi, you know, i'm not even attacking her but like most politicians, she's not capable of unscripted eloquence. >> i disagree. >> tucker: oh, god. come on. >> tucker, listen, i think people were impressed by the fact that she did not seem motivated by dislike of trump, you know, despite james rosen really strange and silly question about her hating trump. she was really seemed like a steward of our constitution.
5:14 pm
>> tucker: what's so funny is like no one could be honest -- of course, these people are twisted and deranged by hate. this is completely -- i mean, you can argue they have reason to hate or -- but to say that democrats don't hate trump it's crazy. >> listen, and i think this is a republican talking point also, is that you can dislike someone's behavior, but not necessarily hate the person. and so i think that people -- >> tucker: that's true. >> we dislike what he does. we dislike his bullying, we dislike some of his actions but it doesn't mean that you hate the person. too foo we're praying for the man. yeah. okay. normally, by the way, i really try to live that way and i think there are democrats who live up to that standard but recently the personal animus directed at trump is actually poison, in my opinion. >> is it poison for him to call
5:15 pm
women fat pigs. >> tucker: he doesn't call all women fat pigs. >> but you can call -- >> tucker: i'm not saying it's bad to criticize trump. i'm just saying to make trump -- to organize your whole life around hating trump as so many have, including people i know it's not healthy. let me ask you about pelosi. would you say she's kind of like someone who speaks for the democratic party? she's almost 80. she's one of the richest members of congress. why is she the leader of your matter? i'm actually confused. >> she's the ranking member. >> tucker: is she -- when you think of the party do you think nancy pelosi? >> she's not the direction necessarily that the party is moving but again the democrats are a wide tent. we're people who have different views and we'll discuss that. >> tucker: then why is it -- i
5:16 pm
thought ian made some good points, but, you know, i think he misses the thing that will unify democrats at the end of the day. this one person and that's donald trump. he's done more -- >> that may be true. >> they have ideological differences >> but in theent it's not enough. hate is not strong enough to keep the party together. >> no hate. >> tucker: no hate, okay. if it's such a broad tent then why is the one person excluded from it, tulsi gabbard? pelosi -- there you go, pelosi -- >> i think both would agree. >> tucker: yeah, me, too, but why the hatred toward tulsi gabbard? >> you and i agree that the hatred of tulsi gabbard is completely unfair. the things that they say about her are unfounded and this is something that we do need to fix about the party is eating our own, particularly someone who is serving our country, and i think honestly, democrats, the one
5:17 pm
criticism that i'll give the democrats is we have ceded so much to the right that really they don't deserve. we've ceded the military. >> tucker: i would say the military is pretty left to be honest with you. i think the obama administration did a pretty good job of politicizing the military and turning it into a left indoctrination machine. but i notice the one thing you can't do as a democrat is criticize war because that's the one thing they are all for. >> that's untrue. tulsi gabbard is definitely against war. she's a democrat. >> tucker: professor nickels, it's good to see you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: most people oppose a blanket amnesty for illegals, they are plotting a way to ram it through whether you like it or not. pete buttigieg says he's the most moral candidate run, so why is he pitching abortion to 7-year-olds. i'm not making this up.
5:22 pm
>> tucker: america ought to give amnesty to all illegal aliens within our borders no matter how many they are. the leadership of both parties believes this. the problem is voters don't believe it. they strongly disagree and have for decades. they said so in polling consistently but instead of paying attention to what the public wants as usual the parties ignore it and instead work together to do what they want by stealth. their latest gambit is called hr 5038, a bill called the farm work force modernization act of 2019. as usual the name is orwellian.
5:23 pm
the bill does not modernize america's work force. just the opposite. it's designed to keep our farming practices primitive and dependent upon low wage manual labor. the bill which remark by has a total of 24 republican co-sponsors, would give amnesty to illegal grint farm workers in the united states, pretty much all of them. even illegal aliens convicted of crime would be eligible for permanent residency and citizenship. beneficiaries would not have to pay any back taxes. they qualify even if they skipped court hearings or snuck back after being deported. don't you try something like that as a u.s. citizen. congress will have no mercy but for foreign nationals, no problem. how many foreign nationals would benefit from this act if it became law? no one knows. the pro-am necessarity group farm worker justice estimates that at least 1.2 million legal immigrants would be eligible but if history is any guide and it is the actual number would be
5:24 pm
far, far higher and that's assuming the bill would restrict it to actual farm workers. it imposes very low document standards. those applying for amnesty can submit all kinds of different documents. there is no penalty for fraud. in other words, there would be no reason not to submit a bogus application. needless to say many people would. just as they did 30 years ago during the ronald reagan amnesty. that supposedly limited farm worker amnesty dluns of thousands of fraudulent applications. here's the key. most were approved anyway. in some cases even illegal immigrants who arrived in this country after amnesty became law were able to benefit from the amnesty. think about that for a minute. it was a joke. now they want to do it again but on a much larger scale so to sum up, the farm work force modernization act of 2019 would reward law breaking, exacerbate the border crisis and undermine the already stalled wages of
5:25 pm
american blue collar workers. it's pretty much the mirror image, the exact opposite of what donald trump ran on just three years ago and yet members of congress like tom cole and more than 20 other republicans are now fighting to make it law. why is that? you've got to wonder. maybe they are not bright enough to know what's in the bill. maybe there is some other motive. maybe someone should ask them. washington continues to want america's border with mexico to be as open as possible even though mexico itself is falling apart. it's a cartel-dominated war zone. this week three republican members of congress sent the trump administration a letter urging them to follow through with the designated cartels as terror organizations. a congressional candidate from the state of north carolina has called for a 10-year moratorium on all immigration. he joins us. thanks so much for coming on. when you say all immigration, do you mean all immigration or all
5:26 pm
illegal immigration? >> it's important that we define what an immigration moratorium is. in this case it means no net immigration to the united states. so about 200,000 people leave the united states every year. bringing in 200,000 legal aliens would be fine, but bottom line, we would like to have no population increase from legal immigration. >> tucker: you're not allowed to say that. so the left has decided, because the left controls the terms that the right uses as you know and the right goes along with this and you're allowed to say under duress that you're against illegal immigration but you're never allowed to say that there should be some cap. why are you saying that? >> those are the old party rules, tucker and i think there is a new republican party in town. people like myself who are younger and less controlled by, should we say, conservative ink crowd or maybe the donor class in washington, d.c. and the political elites. we understand the game. we understand that the chamber
5:27 pm
of commerce has bought and paid for our congress people and we understand that it's bought and paid for organizations like turning point usa. we understand it's bought and paid for media outlets like the daily wire, for example, who are not meaningfully conservative in any way, who can never be trusted to conserve anything. >> tucker: i mean, tell me what your rationale is, though, are they going to attack you, probably, on a bunch of different levels for saying this, why should people agree with your idea? >> tucker, i mean, when you think about why, the situation that we have economically in america, where the working class continues to dwindle. legal immigration is not helping us in this scenario so we're bringing in roughly a million legal immigrants a year in various visa programs, and via green cards, and these folks are increasingly taking jobs not just from working class americans, you know, like we do with the sort of farm visas like
5:28 pm
you were just discussing but increasingly from middle class americans, too. so congress, even republicans in congress, are lobbying right now, to increase high-skilled tech visas. imagine being an ordinary american and going to college with the idea that there is upward mobility in society and that you're going to improve your life by going to college and you take on a hundred thousand dollars plus of student debt awn get out an you're competing with a foreigner for a computer engineering job. who will work for less and who will work more hours. >> tucker: but that's the free market, we're told. >> that is, and i think in a lot of senses, the free market capitalism of wall street is different than the free market capitalism of main street, and a conservative vocabulary that does not recognize that difference is obsolete and deserves to die. >> tucker: great to see you
5:29 pm
tonight. running for congress from north carolina. he's not presenting himself as the moral savior of this country. pete buttigieg is fighting doggedly to protect abortion. the main sacrament in his religion. plus hospitals are suing the trump administration to make certain they don't have to share their prices with the public for real. that's a fight you should follow. we'll tell you what's happening.
5:34 pm
>> tucker: pete buttigieg, they may view him as ochgsal, but buttigieg is wondering if god does exist he would like pete buttigieg to be president and he's extremely mad at republicans. >> it's by no means true -- especially in these times. >> there is a lot about the stewardship of creation. >> i don't see it being honored by the administration. >> if he did, i can't imagine it would be the one that sent the current president into the white house. >> tucker: if you thought the christian right was bad nothing
5:35 pm
compared to the christian left. if you're in for real self-righteousness, that's where you will find it. >> when he isn't condemning republicans, father buttigieg has another passion, promoting abortion. buttigieg congratulate add 7-year-old girl for her precocious understanding that sometimes free markets require to us kill our own children. >> i listened to you in the debates and learned something about you and that you believe in a woman's right to choose about her own body. >> i agree with that. >> you sound pretty sophisticated for a child. how old are you? >> seven. >> really? you're ahead of your time. >> who gets the draw the line, that's person majoring the decision. >> i trust women to make that choice. >> it sounds like we view this
5:36 pm
issue the same way. >> tucker: what is the right answer? the right answer is where are your parents? because they are sick people. they are grotesque. they ought to be ashamed. but pete buttigieg didn't say that abortion, yeah, baby, we're on the same side. >> america's healthcare prices are among the highest in the world and one reason is hospitals are allowed to hide those prices which makes it impossible to search for cheaper options. the trump administration is trying to change that it's one of the best things this administration is doing and one of the least covered. a new issued rule would require hospitals to reveal the procedure price that is they currently negotiate in private with health insurers. this would clearly benefit consumers, so of course, hospitals are outraged, they are suing to block it. the current secretary of health and human services in the trump administration and he joins us. secretary, thank you so much for coming on. tell me if i misstated the intent of this rule. >>, no you got it right.
5:37 pm
all the president is saying that, if you're a hospital disclose what it costs before you want somebody to buy it. it's a simple right. what is the price of something before you buy knit the hospitals want you to wait until they send a bill collector to your door to find out what it cost. it's an outrage. >> tucker: and anyone who has dealt with hospitals recently knows that you're not exaggerating. what you said is literally true. you find out when the bill comes. >> i'm not exaggerating. i'm the secretary of health and human services. i've had surprising medical bills. i've gone into hospitals for procedures and i have asked, what will this cost me? and they say we won't tell you. i say what will it cost me unmy plan? we can't tell you. >> what would it cost if i paid cash? we won't tell you. president trump for the first time in history is delivering you the right to know what a hospital service will cost before you get it. >> tucker: i'm just confused because, as you just pointed
5:38 pm
out, no other sector of our economy, car dealers would never be allowed to get away with this but why isn't the left on this? why didn't the obama administration do this? >> because no other president has had the guts, the courage, to take on these special interests. these so-called nonprofit hospitals are very powerful. they have been majoring a lot of money off of the backs of american patience through this lack of transparency. >> tucker: they are nonprofit hospitals so the directors must be making $80,000 a year -- >> i don't think so. >> tucker: you mean $10 million a year. >> they are against i and they are suing us. they are taking a page right out of the big pharma playbook. the president required the pharma companies to tell you the list price of their drugs. they sued us to prevent us from requiring that. the hospitals, the president told them, you tell people what something costs when you give them the bill. just do it beforehand, and they
5:39 pm
are saying, no, we won't. i don't know how they can look themselves in the mirror with a straight face. they should be ashamed. >> tucker: let me ask you is the "new york times" editorializing on your side of this? >> i don't know where the "times" has been but it's been very bipartisan. it's just been a vested swampy interest that's said they want to keep the patient blinded to information about price. >> tucker: it's actually unbelievable. i cannot tell you how much i'm rooting for you. i think normal people would be rooting for you, very quickly, what's going to happen? >> we're going to win, and it's the rule now, it's the law of the land, and starting in 2021, hospitals will actually have to tell you what the price of the most common services are ahead of time. you will be able to shop. you know, in just one metro zone common lab blood lab tests could cost as much as 40 times difference from one hospital to another. in boston, labor and delivery
5:40 pm
varies from $4,700 to $16,000. we'll get to shop. 70% of hospital services are shopable. we'll get to choose the lowest cost, highest quality provider. we'll actually bring to our free market healthcare a competitive market in healthcare that will bring costs down, quality up and that's thanks to the leadership and courage of president trump. >> tucker: i agree with that. and i really appreciate you explaining that on this show. mr. secretary, thank you very much. >> my pleasure. >> tucker: time for final exam. see if you can beat our expert at what happened this week. particularly the weird stuff. - do you have a box of video tapes, film reels, or photos, that are degrading? legacybox professionally converts them to dvds, thumb drive, or the cloud. legacybox is simple and safe, with over half a million satisfied customers. visit legacybox.com today, and get 40% off.
