♪ >> tucker: welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." the president, as you can see on the screen, just about to speak to supporters tonight in milwaukee, wisconsin. the democratic national convention. we are following that rally in moments. in the meantime, we want to bring you the latest on the democratic party, because there is, in the end, justice in this world. it is coming apart before our eyes. that officially begins with the iowa caucuses. it seemed like just this morning that senator elizabeth warren had been ordained to the front runner and the likely democratic nominee. but not anymore.

political fortunes can change overnight, faster than warren's ethnic identity, even. her fund-raising has tanked. she is badly behind in the early primaries. she has a danger of dipping below 10% nationally. as she hurtles toward earth, she has pulled her reserve chute. she is announcing bernie sanders, wait for it, as a sexist. she claims that he said no woman could ever win a presidential election. he denies it. watch. >> the real issue is not whether you are black or white, whether you are a woman or a man. in my view, a woman can be elected member of the united states. >> tucker: has bernie sanders changed his mind about that?

elizabeth warren has claimed that sh he has. this is a person who lied about her ethnicity. this is also a person who made big money in order to avoid corporations on how to pay people they've harmed. she billed her entirely new persona as a ferocious consumer champion. this is a person so synthetic and uncertain of who she is that she can't even drink a beer with her husband without coming across like a captive in a hostage video. >> i'm going to get me a beer. my husband, bruce is now in here. want a beer? >> i'll pass on the beer for n now. >> tucker: make a note to yourself and watch that video at least once a day. i'm going to pull up a stool and

sat down. how would you like to have dinner with her? terrifying. if you think that's a false cyst thing you've ever seen, keep listening here is elizabeth warren telling her audience how she was fired from her first job. put everything on the line to change the rules. >> i was visibly pregnant. the principal did what principals do in those days. wish me luck and hired someone else for the job. i was visibly pregnant and the principal did what principals did in those days. wished me luck and hired to someone else for the job. i was visibly pregnant. wished me luck and hired someone else for the job. i was visibly pregnant. wished me luck and hired someone else for the job. i was visibly pregnant. he wished me luck and hired someone else for the job.

>> tucker: wished me luck. exact same arm gesture every time. watching that tape, we think, how could we ever have believed she was going to win anything. by the way, the scenario she just described never happened. she made it up. how do we know that? elizabeth warren herself, told a very different story 12 years before. >> i was in a public school system. i worked with children with disabilities. i did that for a year and then that summer, i actually didn't have the education courses. i went back to graduate school and took a couple of courses in education and thought, i don't think this is going to work out for me. i was pregnant with my first baby, so i had a baby and stayed home for a couple of years, and

i was really casting about thinking, what am i going to do? >> tucker: so it turns out they didn't actually wish her luck and fire her for being pregnant. what a fraud, what a liar. say what you want about bernie sanders. he probably didn't attack elizabeth warren for being a woman. a lot of reasons not to vote for bernie sanders, but you have to be a shallow liberal to think sexism is one of them. that's one hail mary pass. it's over. where does that leave us in the democratic primary? really with two options. the party is either going to nominate an elderly socialist or an elderly who took bribes from credit card companies. here's the latest tonight, the not very reassuring development. a newly released video.

we haven't verified it ourselves, but you can judge for yourself. in it, a sanders campaign organizer vows that if bernie sanders doesn't get the nomination, people are going to get hurt. >> if bernie doesn't get the nomination, [bleep], be ready to be in milwaukee. [bleep] the cops are going to be in milwaukee. >> tucker: that sounds like a good time. blood on the streets. keep in mind, that will happen if bernie sanders loses. what's going to happen if bernie sanders wins? >> billions of dollars reeducating their [bleep] peop people. they are probably going to have to do the same thing here.

were going to have to teach you not to be a [bleep]. >> tucker: reeducation. they are just confirming. they are planning reeducation camps. dana perino joins us tonight. more amusing with every passing day. it's hard to believe that elizabeth warren thinks she's going to save her campaign by calling bernie sanders sexist. maybe she is? >> dana: i would love to know and maybe we will find out one day who actually leaked that information. there is some speculation that could have come from the biden team to try to sell a little mischief between candidate a, candidate b, meaning warren and sanders. there'they can't live with eachr

and they can't live without each other. they have similar supporters. one of them at some point is going to have to take off the gloves and start swinging. she took offense about, somebody toosaid that i'm an elitist. it seemed like it was retaliation to say that bernie sanders is sexist. i think the nonaggressive path between these two, there's only three weeks until iowa, and to me, bernie sanders actually has a better organization, better campaign stats and are on the march. i don't know if they will actually be able to pull it off. i think joe biden will squeak it out ultimately in the end. but bernie sanders is definitely on the rise. i'm not going to start preparing myself for reeducation at this point, but i think he has run a

pretty good campaign. >> tucker: i'm not a math major, but here's the layout. bernie sanders and biden. elizabeth warren, sanders, and biden, warren and sanders are drawing the same kind of left populist voters. so if one of them drops out and you combined the people who have supported them -- >> dana: that's right. i don't know if the elizabeth warren supporters would be able to say that they are for bernie. with the bernie people be able to be for anyone else? back in 2016, it is estimated that about 10% of bernie supporters voted for trump. that could certainly happen again. but i do think that he definitely, bernie sanders believes he was robbed because of the super delicate process.

they have changed many rules to try to make things more fair. they are definitely on the march. they want to win. >> tucker: very quick, biden is reaching out to wall street. he has worked on their behalf before, but if it comes down to sanders and biden, that seems to open up a gap, a chasm in the middle of the party. >> dana: it was very interesting. today on the daily briefing, he is a senior advisor for bloomberg, who is also in the running. this could go to a contested convention in july, right there in milwaukee. i wouldn't necessarily count, discount the effect that the michael bloomberg team could have on this race, especially if they think bernie sanders is going to win the nomination. >> tucker: yeah, i'm really enjoying it. >> dana: it's fun, right?

tell dave rubin i said high. >> tucker: thank you so much. good to see you. according to the press, the geniuses on cable news are racist, because not enough of them have backed african-american candidates. watch this. >> for the democratic party that is all white, is not a stage that the democratic should be proud of in 2020. >> with booker dropping out, this contest becomes much more white. >> it was tough for cory booker to get beyond 12%, like it was tough for kamala harris and others. though voters here don't look like the rest of the electorate in the country. it's a tougher race for them. >> the way they've set up the primary order is a bad idea. there are a lot of ways to win this presidential election for democrats and it's not just getting all those crusty white guys in diners in the midwest.

nothing against guys in diners in the midwest. >> tucker: i swear the trump campaign is paying that woman. she'dave, good to see you tonig. >> good to see you. before you say anything, i want to be very clear with you, i am in no way related to her. >> tucker: clearly, she is a plant. you watch them, and you're like, you know what? i'm voting for trump. i don't care. let me ask you, how dehumanizing do think it is to see people in the media to dismiss people on the base of their skin color? how did we get to this place? >> who is that guy that said children not to be judged by the color of their skin?

that guy, he was a liberal. he was a liberal. but the progressives have nothing to do with liberalism. there is a polarity going on here, because for years, they've been screaming that all of us, anyone who is not a progressive is a racist. at the end of the road is exactly what's happening right now. they would have to turn it on themselves. and now they are turning in on themselves. msnbc is now putting up people to basically say, forget those republicans and conservatives. we are the racists. there is going to be a democratic debate and guess what's going to happen? it's going to be all white people. i don't know what happened to andrew yang. he should be in here, but his age and this doesn't even count. >> tucker: what they are

really doing is they are blaming black voters. they are turning to the african-american electorate and saying, you are bigots. rich people, msnbc people, i can't even remember her name, the woman you share a last name with, jennifer rubin. that's what they are doing. >> president trump said we have the lowest all-time black unemployment. the cameras flashed to the black caucus. if you cared about your country, if you cared about black people or just the citizens of your country, when you be happy that they have low unemployment? that would be good. but if you are a partisan hack, then you wouldn't care about that. i think most people are waking up to this stuff. i said on a tweet saying, this is the year of the implosion of this thing. it has to implode now, because elizabeth has to call bernie a

misogynist. someone else has to call bernie a racist. that's all they got, because they can't debate on policy. they can't debate on taxes or foreign policy or any these things. they have to get on all of these things, because it sort of works against conservatives. you are one of the few guys that consistently stands up against it, but it silences a lot of people. they cried wolf for too long. >> tucker: nobody is for this, other than a tiny percentage of msnbc. >> nobody cares. it's a reverse of what the american dream is. nobody cares what your skin color is. the nobody cares what your gender is or even your sexuality. if you are an american in you live by the laws of america, and you work hard and try to better your life and your family's left, that's what this whole thing is about, but why did they

never talk about this? why are they afraid to say words like "liberty" and "freedom." ?" >> tucker: these are the worst people i've ever dealt with. great to see you. speak over to see you, man. >> tucker: after three years of promises, democrats want to impeach the president. what does it mean for this country long term what kind of precedent does this set? can he be trusted? critical question. our investigation straight ahe ahead. highlights, just ahead.

♪ >> tucker: soul, and impeachment update for you tonight. donald trump was severing many attempts to impeach him. russia did network. stormy daniels. remember that? they settled on impeaching the president for asking ukraine's president to investigate a job held by the former

vice president's son. they are impeaching him for that. the point of it was to improve the party's chances in the presidential race this year. will that work? probably not. but the effects may linger far beyond this year's collection. he has wrote a piece on this exact question. thanks so much for coming on. >> thank you for having me, tucker. >> tucker: what kind of precedent does this set? >> i think we are on new ground, tucker. i think from now on, you aren't going to expect to have bipartisan support. i don't think anyone cares whether you have 51% public support. i don't think you are going to have to specify anything, high crimes or misdemeanors. in addition, i don't think it's going to be rare.

any time a first-term president loses in his first midterm, the house is going to try to impeach him. it's exactly the opposite of what the framers outlined in the constitution and what hamilton talked about. i think it's going to be a political tool. it's going to be a vote of no confidence and it's going to be quite frequent. i think also, tucker, it's part of a larger trend that we are destroying institutions and customs and practices for the suppose it would end of getting trump. i don't think we have a fisa court with any integrity anymore. they didn't ask about the fbi fraudulent documents that were presented. on two occasions, they didn't listen to him. and now, their outside adjudicator was defending the fbi. i don't know if we have whistle-blowers come of that concept. a whistle-blower with someone

with strong principal views they came forward, took the heat, had first-hand knowledge, met with the inspector general. that's not true anymore. you just sort of go the opposition party in congress and develop a strategy you never identify yourself. that has gone by the wayside. i think there is sort of a shadow government. we weren't like the europeans that had an alternate government in waiting, but you see all these people coming forward, hillary's group, and john kerry. they are actively opposing in a way that i don't think clinton or either bush did. i never understood the concept of a cia director or a director of national intelligence, going on cable tv and being paid to analyze and attack the incumbent president about a scandal. >> tucker: while retaining their top-secret security

clearance at the same time, they are working for a cable channel. >> they have sources that are going to substantiate their accusation that trump may be indicted. all fraudulent and bogus. that's the new thing. he goes into office and he just expects to give them the opposition and be paid for it while using his government clearance. all these things are really disturbing. they all have a common theme that trump is so dangerous for the republic that we can cast away these protocols and it has served us pretty well. >> tucker: this is all going to be over soon and we are going to live with the consequences. by the way, msnbc and cnn have embedded that, playing dumb like paying these intel officials. thank you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: well, the doj

inspector general turned out to be flagrant. recently, the fbi was hit with in order to fix -- if you were paying attention, you would know that during the russian investigation, chris strongly defended the surveillance. now, he is the one who was supposed to fix the problem. how should you feel about that? she joins us. thank you so much for coming on. i want to be open-minded. i have spent the last four years learning that i have a lot of reasons to distrust my government. how should i feel about this? >> i don't think you should feel good.

what it really looks to me like he is friends with the swamp. we have a rotating group of officials. they go in and out of governme government. in and out of the right to social circles in d.c. they are part of the swamp that president trump has so rightly been talking about an hour for years. with respect to kris, though, he is not neutral. he's 1 of 8 people that the court could have appointed. why did they pick the one guy, the one guy out of the eight who has been supporting the fbi? let me just say, as a former federal prosecutor who handles fisa warrants myself, this is just shocking. if you read the steele dossier, iyou will see that there were glaring caution signs.

they would say, i'm not going to a court, i'm not going to a judge on this. i mean, it is so outside the bounds of what we normally demand for a probable cause. when you are talking about this before court, you are talking about national security and using the tools of intelligence in this country, you are talking about an even higher level that's required. stay one wall, and it's scary, because you watch what they did to carter page, who did nothing. he served this country as a naval officer. the people who did it had not been punished. they suggested nothing will change. meanwhile, guys like roger stone or general flynn, going to prison for nothing. how do you restore the average person's confidence that the democracy is real? >> you restore confidence by actually taking action.

there were comparing the hillary clinton investigation with the donald trump investigation. two similarly situated people who were treated very differently. all of the people associated with them were treated very differently. until the public sees that we are no longer treating people differently, i don't know how you restore confidence. >> tucker: you need someone to come in and really need ou reste confidence of the average person. thank you. well, to the left, stephen king is a villain saying that he cares more about art than diversity. also monitoring the president, who is speaking at a rally in the midwest tonight. highlights from that speech coming up. >> president trump: and their courageous struggle for freedom. it's incredible what's happening.

we are watching and we are watching very closely. we were ready. we did what we did. and they said, it's our turn now. i said, you better be careful when you say it's our turn, because we had designated targets. it would have taken 30 years to rebuild if that was even possible. ♪

>> tucker: stephen king is a good writer. none of that is saving him from the outrage on the left. why? because stephen king thinks art should be judged on quality. the oscar nomination came out yesterday. they came under attack for not being diverse enough. king tweeted this quote. "i would never consider diversity in matters of art, only quality. "again, stephen king is not a conservative. hardly. he's a lifelong liberal, but it doesn't matter. saying something reasonable, defending art is unacceptable on the left. the left spent all day trashing him online. he's an actor here in los angeles. he has played several other

roles. thanks for coming on. >> i'm happy to be here. >> tucker: he's a serious liberal. but for the crime of defending art, he is being denounced as a racist. that's got to have a chilling effect. >> well, it's terrifying. if you are not woke enough, you are out. he has put some of the most woke tweets out there ever and he has said something that's patently true, which is art should be judged on art, not diversity. it should be about the art. it's what martin luther king jr. asked for. it'a day when you are judged bye contents of your character, not by the color of your skin. >> tucker: those of us who care about art, who think beauty matters, shouldn't we be really worried? >> i am. i think it's crazy.

denzel washington won best actor, because he was the best actor. i wouldn't have given it to him because he's black. yeah, he's my favorite actor, but it's not because he's black. it's because he's the best actor i know. i don't think he wants to be judged just because he's black. >> tucker: i can't imagine he does. why would he? >> i don't think anybody else really wants to be. i find that insane. it's been a hypocrisy of hollywood. it's what we do, apparently. >> tucker: a new poll says that hollywood is the single least trusted institution. how do you feel about that? >> well, to me, they are the least trusted as well. i agree with that poll. whatever it is that's going to make you money, if you can do that, you're in. i mean, look at the people that have fallen from grace, so to speak. harvey weinstein. that's what happens in hollywood. somebody with power, oh, the

indiscretions, we don't pay attention to it. hollywood should be not trusted. actors are actors and we do our job, but we are certainly not the example of morality. >> tucker: vince vaughn has always struck me as a decent guy. and a good actor. i don't know the extent to which he is actually being attacked for shaking trump's hand, but should he be worried? >> vince vaughn is beyond being worried, because he's untouchable. he won't be facing any real backlash, but the fact that he shook the president's hand, just the fact that it went viral, is insane. it's about as crazy as ellen sitting with george w. bush. this is probably have today. you can be seen talking to someone you might disagree with without being horribly attacked. we need to talk to each other. even if we disagree, we should

be talking to each other. >> tucker: so smart. i can't let you go without playing my new favorite clip. here it is in a summary. >> well, you say you are woke. apple, amazon, disney. if you do win and award tonight, don't use the platform to make a political speech. you are in no position to lecture the public about anything. you know nothing about the real world. most of you spend less time in school than greta. come up, except your little award, take your -- >> tucker: did that penetrate, is my question? >> i think it did. instead of there being 97 speech

is about walking us, there were like four. everybody was like, woah. let me pull back a little bit. that was one of the greatest moments i've ever seen. he picked on them as they should be picked on. i'm named after dean martin. those people lack the ability to look at themselves and laugh at themselves. but ricky gervais, it's my favorite moment of the year, without a doubt. the one you are really named after dean martin? amazing. i didn't know that. great to see you. appreciate it. they vilified him. tried to wreck his life. so, why isn't the press celebrating this triumph of the week over the powerful? details in a minute.

♪ >> tucker: a california tonight, accused of luring thieves to their home and assaulting them on camera. this is raising questions about who we ought to be punishing in this country. >> the first night, 25-year-old

and his 25-year-old wife moved into their home. a burglar broke into their car. the couple went on the defensive. they put a bike in their front yard and waited. once someone tried to steal it, they ran out with baseball bats and beat the person, then posted the video on youtube. this went on for months until the couple got arrested for assault. neighbors say it was a lot more than four. nobody got arrested for stealing the bike. police told us that's because the couple never reported the bike stolen. in california, stealing anything under $950 is no longer punishable. the couple has moved on, but neighbors say there hasn't been any thefts since they left. tucker. >> tucker: trace gallagher, thanks for the update. in the state of california, authorities have said, let people take whatever they want.

when home owners decide to protect their own property, they get arrested, just so you know. many other "news outlets." they slandered them relentless relentlessly. last week, cnn filed a lawsuit. a kid, victimized by people far more powerful than he. it's understandable. they wanted to sweep this under the rug. they got busted and they paid, hopefully millions. the rest of the press seemed uninterested in what is an inspirational story. thanks so much for coming on. this seems like a great story to me. literally a high school kid fights back against cnn.

he fights back, he gets justice, and nobody even notices? >> well, they've noticed and they've chosen to not cover it. this is important, because after the settlement, he was suing for about 250 million. even if he gets 1%, he's going to be fined. the reason the media hasn't covered it is because many of them, not all, did very similar things to this young man. of course, his crime was wearing a maga hat, right? the other crime was that they support the president. what the attorneys for him have announced is that in the next 30-40 days, they are to be pressing at least 13 more lawsuits, including the standing lawsuit that exists still between "washington post" a and-

they will be filing against the guardian, "huffington post," which is of course on the internet, and p.r. cincinnati enquirer. they did what the lawyers for mr. --they can't even report ths because they see themselves suffering some consequences. remember, wood is also the lawyer. he had some great success also from burke ramsey, the son of patsy ramsey, who was against cbs. they implied that he was involved in his sister's murder. >> tucker: that he murdered his sister. >> they won. they won a settlement in that as well. you are looking at an important

lawyer, a lawyer with history, a respected serious man, and a minor being involved. but as long as the media is willing to destroy all minor, of course, it tells you that they are willing to do it to anyone at this point. >> tucker: that's exactly right. they are supposed to be comforting the afflicted. they are supposed to be punching up. that's a child from a catholic school. i hope he crushes them. i mean it. >> absolutely. lawyers and sewing is not necessarily my favorite thing, but the fact that this is one way to keep them in line. they have not only abandon their job and their responsibility, they have turned themselves into a mob of wolves and are willing to rip anyone apart. it's going to have to start. >> tucker: good to see you tonight. thank you so much. the president spent the evening, rally support in milwaukee.
