plan to. serious allergic reactions may occur. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." the democratic party has long been a collection of deeply unhappyee interest groups that secretly hate each other. but, for the last three years it's been fairly simple to keep that fractious coalition togethersi you focus on donald trump. despising donald trump and jumping up and down how mean and immoral he is. something they can agree on. nancy pelosi was hoping it would last forever. the last election season intruded and democrats have a few months to choose their party's nominee their standard bearer that means for the first time in a long t time they have no choice but to focus on each other.
9:01 pm
the most miserable people you know stuck together in an elevator for eternity. that's what it is like. naturally cnn is right in the middle of it.ha the channel shadowy president jeffrey zucker hasf joined forces with elizabeth warren and her campaign to crush their common enemy, bernie sanders.or just before tuesday night's democratic debate, warren used cnn to attack sanders as a sexist, not sexy, but sexist.as for saying a woman could not be elected president. sanders denied saying it. after the debate, warren marched over to sanders and barked at him, presumably at warren's request, cnn later released that tape. watch how it went, including a special guest appearance by tom steyer who suddenly looks tiny and afraid. >> i think you called me a liar on national tv? >> what? >> i think you called me a liar on national tv? >> let's not do it right now. you want to have that discussion, we will have that discussion. you called me a liar. you called me -- woe won't get into it right now. >> i just wanted to say hi,, bernie. >> okay, good.
9:02 pm
>> tucker: elizabeth warren is not someone you would want to have dinner with. tell her you are busy if she calls. what else does that video prove? absolutely nothing. not one thing. we're in the very same place we were at the beginning of the week withn an aging unprovable allegation thrown onto the field in desperation by a fading presidential candidate who seems more unlikeable by the day. it would get nowhere in court. but over at cnn, where being a high school student from kentucky is considered grounds for character assassination, it's enough to show conclusively that bernie sanders hates women. watch the analysis. ♪ i am strong. i am invincible. ♪ >> tucker: i'm sorry, we pulled the wrong tape from our feminist outrage file. more embarrassing. >> it was so real the moment -- her, however you
9:03 pm
want to describe it, her frustration, her anger, hercr desire to have -- make this point to bernie sanders was crystal clear. >> so you can clearly understand her fury at that. and, again, it's one of those moments you don't seef very often in politics where she felt very frustrated, used whatever words you want, and she just went over to him and told him what she was thinking. >> i agree with hillary, it was surreal. she was pissed off. >> people i heard all day she knew she was micked. she did that on purpose. that, to me did not look like an on purpose. looked like she was seething lrough that part of the debate. who do we believe? like i believe elizabeth warren. she is feeling under the gun. she is feeling judged as awa woman. i think there is an insensitivity like her frustration on that. >> tucker: yeah. it was totally authentic. this time cnn tells us, this time elizabeth warren was being 100 percent completely
9:04 pm
real not like that time she lied about her race or the time she lied about her job history or the time she lied about her plan to finance universal healthcare without a middle class tax hike, no, no, no. this time for sure no question at all elizabeth warren is telling the whole truth and nothing but and you would have to be some kind of misogynist to doubt her. that's what they told us all night on cnn. why tell us that? why lie to us? simple the democratic national committee is worried about bernie sanders. all those attacks on wall street offend donors. so jeff zucker, a democratic partisan said repeatedly he plans to run for office once he is finished ruining cnn.. stop the bernie menace before voters could elect him. that's what you are watching. the media working as always to the hand maidens to thehe ruling class. not just on cnn. the "l.a. times" praised warren for refusing to shake his hand. master class in handling sexism.
9:05 pm
okay. is any of this true? is it real? sanders is a socialist, obviously. but is he a sexist? consider this: according to analysis by breitbart, sanders pays his female congressional staffers $3.5000 more per year on average than elizabeth warren does. and yet, according to cnn, elizabeth warren is the real champion of women. so what's the effect of this debate? michael moore isn't much of a filmmaker for that matter much of a person he knows an awful lot of the democratic party. watch his analysis. >> i have known bernie since the 1980s, so, there is no, way he said anything like the way it's been reported. they will mark this day, january 13th, as the day donald trump was reelected. >> tucker: so trump is the beneficiary says michael moore. he may be on to something.
9:06 pm
consider four years ago democrats rigged the primary for hillary clinton. they did that despite the fact that hillary clinton would have won anyway. they couldn't resist cheating. because they did that, because they cheated, millions of democratic voters emerged from the process inbitterred and enraged. some of them stayed home last november. others voted for jill stein or gary johnson. some moved over to trump. they suffered shocking upset on election day.on could that happen again? obviously it could. no one in washington knows that because no one in washington ever learns anything. author and columnist mark steyn learns and knows a lot and joins us tonight for an analysis.umn why do you think cnn is carrying water for elizabeth warren, of all of people,nn and will it help elizabeth warren? >> it won't help elizabeth warren. but i agree that cnn are doing this because the dnc and they and cnn are joined at the hip on this regarding bernie is a danger. so everything that the --
9:07 pm
the priority for all these forces now is that bernie should not be the candidate. and elizabeth warren, on this show a couple of months ago, tucker, i said to you that i thought she was doing well as she was then because she was talking about policies.s she was talking about policies because she couldn't run on biography because her entire biography is a lie. as you know, you have played that clip just the otherer night of her saying i'm going to get me a beer and as she said no one would actually want to have a beer with the person. i'm going to get me i'm hoity-toity of foreigner as you can find i can do a better i'm gonna get me a beer elizabeth warren. the fact that she pivoted from policy to the lamest of all charges that can you level these identity grievance charges, tells me she is tanking and that at a certain level she is useful to cnn and the dnc in that
9:08 pm
as she is nose diving into the briany she can at least take bernie with her. bernie raised 4 million bucks in the 48 hours since this thing started. i don't think it's going to work out for elizabeth warren quite the way she thinks it will. >> tucker: why wouldn't though she keep arguing from policy?r: you could disagree with her policies. i disagree with a lot of them. but, that -- there is some evidence that that works. why wouldn't she keep doing that? >> well, absolutely. i think this is the reason, the debate was such a bust the other night. and why the people who support bernie, the base of the democrat party wants radical change in this country. so they want candidates actually talking like bernie. they want people talking about the socialist healthcare and open borders and all the other flimflam. and in washington, their leaders are talking about some ukrainian phone call for the next six weeks and
9:09 pm
on the ground, on the stump, they are just playing these lamest, i mean, it's not -- god bless her, i love helen ready, i am woman, hear me roar. but this is i am strong, i am invincible, i am whining. i don't even get the elizabeth warren charge against bernie. i mean, if i say to some gay guy i don't think iran is ready to elect a gay president, it doesn't mean i'm homophobic. just an assessment of the state of the race as it were. >> tucker: exactly right. it's not even a come prehence cybil allegation. it sounds like i'm defending bernie, i'm notment i'm offended by the unfairness and stupidity of it, i suppose. >> it's totally stupid even in democratic policy terms. >> tucker: great point. mark steyn, great to see you. >> thanks a lot, tucker.r. >> tucker: as the 2020 democratic party reaches climax heart attack and another elderly corporate shill spent his life taking
9:10 pm
bribes from the credit card industry. the panic over the bernie sanders candidacy is obvious. some are wondering is there anyone in the race who could beat donald trump? >> i didn't see anybody in there on the stage last night or in the ring that said i'm taking charge. i can be president. i can take on donald trump. >> i think the consensus though is that this was not the type of night of ambition we expected. >> nothing i saw tonight that would be able to take donald trump out. i want to see a democrat in the white house as soon as possible. there was nothing tonight that if you are looking at this thing you say any of these people are preparedhi for what donald trump is going to do to us and to seere further division tonight isal very dispiriting.s >> that debate stage last night frightened me. it really did. >> tucker: a former supreme court clerk and lefty but a smart one joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me.
9:11 pm
>> tucker: as someone who knows the left well, is this working? elizabeth warren is basically leveling in identity politics attack chief rival on the left bernie sanders. is it effective. >> no, it's not. the reason they are doing it because there is nothing else that they can do. right? this was very predictable, right? about a week or two ago you started to see this sort of coordinated release of analysis and articles and things like that saying hey, does anybody notice that bernie sanders might actually be in incredible position to win this primary. same sort of pundits on cnn and "new york times" basically ignored his candidacy for a long time suddenly realized wait this guy is not a joke. he has the most money. he is close or close to first in all the early states. he has real strength in the super tuesday states. is it possible he might actually win? and there was about a week of that and we were all feeling now they get it. thing come next is what are we going to do about it? not time to out organize him. not time to outfund raise him and certainly not time to explain to people why his agenda which is very popular with the voters is nothing they should believe in.
9:12 pm
so, what do you reach for? the refuge of scoundrels lie and call him a sexist. i have to believe that even the elizabeth warren campaign knew this would be tough for people to believe. bernie sanders in 1988 as a surrogate by the way for jesse jackson in his presidential campaign in 1988 surrogate first major party candidates black man to run for president said he thought a woman could be elected president. it's a tough argument to make but what else are you going to do? >> tucker: i don't know. you will could critique his policies, which are radical. and i think deserve a debate and one of the things that enrages me that the rest of us are -- we would be enriched by it. tariffed by it and learn something that's the point of this whole stupid process inform us. y sexism, racism, it's like childish. >> yes, it is. here's the problem they tried that. where did things go wrongbl for the elizabeth warren campaign? easy, they had a good summer.be really good summer. i was afraid they had such a good summer. details of the debate about
9:13 pm
healthcare policy. medicare for all. how are you going to pay for it. >> tucker: she will not thought it through. >> she had not thought it through. we will be able to do this without raising taxes. we will be able to do thisise in year three and then we will have a sort of option at the beginning and tried to pull a fast one. and they lost that argument decisively. >> tucker: yes. >> so badly that it tanked their campaign all the way from the height that i thought they were going to ride all the way to the nomination down to where they are in third or fourth place and leading everything to pete buttigieg.n you are losing to the boy mayor from south bend. they tried a policy argument and the problem is their arguments were bad and they couldn't win that argument. now they are looking around and thinking well, hillary clinton didn't have good policy arguments either but she had this. why don't we try that it's just not going to work. >> tucker: last question, ifif we are almost out of time, if this works and if ther: establishment led by cnn and jeffrey zucker somehow crushsh the bernie campaign on the basis of identity politics attack, what's that going to
9:14 pm
do to the democratic primary electorate?s will they feel well-served by that.o >> there is a decent chance that is an event have that could destroy the democratic party. to the contrary what more interesting what if it doesn't work. what if you pull this gun and shoot it and we are fine and we live anyway and itn' demonstrates this is not as powerful as you people thought. from now on you better believe we are not going to be afraid of this anymore. because you tried as hard as you could and we still won. trump demonstrated that. >> tucker: i'm not a lefty or for sanders. we will all benefit if that happens. if this identity politics garbage ends here i will go to church and say a prayer. i mean it. it's that bad. >> thank you. >> tucker: what may be theme most solemn and prayerful moment in the history of this nation, nancy pelosi has finally delivered impeachment articles to the senate. a member of the senate, republican gives his views republican gives his views of what should happen next. ? ♪ ♪
9:18 pm
9:19 pm
♪ >> tucker: well, after months of delays, house democrats today finally let the impeachment trial begin. they made a hilarious march over to the senate side to deliver the two approved articles like the munchkin parade in the wizard of oz. it looked like a scene from the hollywood blockbuster, hilarious. ♪ ♪
9:20 pm
>> tucker: the munchkins have arrived. this before the march you just saw and by the way go online and watch it again. too great. nancy pelosi marked the occasion by signing the articles of impeachment with several separate pens and them handed them out like prizes. s that was a decade of the rosery. it was a prayerful occasion. over on cnn they described the pens as priceless valuables. >> you heard nancy pelosi there say, in fact, this was a sad and tragic day and then there she is holding up the pen and havingth photographies taken with those pens so, yeah, i think it was a little off message for someone who has tried to set a very serious tone and here she is posing for photographies with a pen. so probably not the most -- >> committee chairman and house managers they will have those pens for the rest of their lives. >> tucker: yeah, a moment that we will remember forever -- oh, wait, we a won't remember it next week.
9:21 pm
it's really not like being the pen john hancock signed the declaration of independence with except of course there is no way john hancock prayed as much as nancy pelosi does. how long will the senate impeachment trial last? it's hard to say.l after four months of democrats trying to minimize hunter biden's pretty obvious role in this scandal he is at the very center of it. might be a good time to hear from him directly in testimony. and, yet, here is the strange thing someme republicans seem uninterested in hearing from hunter biden. hard to see why. it makes sense that democrats might want to shield him from public scrutiny but why would republicans want that? senator tom cotton from the state of arkansas and he joins us tonight. senator, thanks so much for coming on. >> hey, good evening,e tucker. good to be on with you. >> tucker: i'm no expert on strategy, procedure or otherwise. just an interested viewer. i would like to hear from hunter biden. why won't would he be able to?i >> yeah, well, first off,, tucker, i would just say in that lead-in you may not be an expert in strategy nancyld pelosi isn't either. the left wing media is
9:22 pm
always celebrating her after what we saw yesterday with those gold embossed pens, i think nancy is anything but a master strategist here. >> tucker: i agree with that. >> as for hunter biden, if we're going to have any witnesses i think hunter biden would be at the very top of the list of witnesses the president would want to call. i don't know though what thehe president and his legal team have decided whether they want to call witnesses at all or whether they want to move straight to a final vote after arguments and questions from senators. obviously they will play a big role in that. one thing i can say is that would are not going to have a situation where just the democrats are calling witnesses.s. if the democrats call witnesses, then the president will be able to call witnesses as well. >> tucker: are there any outstanding -- sincere question, are there any outstanding questions you would like to see answered? given i think you probably agree with me this whole thing is like ludicrous. parts of it are kind of interesting. is there anything you would like to know? >> well, tucker, despite nancy pelosi and jerrold nadler and adam schiff's best efforts, what we heard right on the senate floor today simply does not add up to the constitutional
9:23 pm
standard of impeaching andnd certainly not removing a president from office. we will listen to what they have to say, although i have got to say just listening to 20 minutes of adam schiff was already pretty taxing. i can't imagine 24 hours of it. but it's hard to imagine what else they mightht marshall to support their farcical process that led to this moment coming out of the house. >> tucker: right. can you imagine any scenario where the president loses republicans, any republicans in the senate, in this trial? >> i don't know, tucker. we have to listen to adam schiff and jerry nadler drone on for so long that we sue for mercy and do anything to make it end. >> tucker: you know, you have a couple just say fine, i will vote with you if you stop, in other words? [laughter] >> no, tucker, i really can't imagine that scenario. and, like i said, i'm not sure the president will even seek witnesses. you know, in a criminal trial which is not exact analogue to this trial.
9:24 pm
>> tucker: right. >> oftentimes the defense does not put any case at all says the state's case is too weak.ft the president may very well just say the house put on a very weak case. it was a rough slipshod impeachment and the senate should just move to the final vote.. >> tucker: last question, super quick, do you think it's better for the country for the republican party, for the president, to get this over with quick or to kind of air it all out? >> hunter -- or tucker more important than the length of the trial is that the trial be fair and even-handed which the president didn't receive in the house of representatives. we do not want to set a new political standard, a precedent going forward for the ages that an enraged partisan majority in the house can ram through on a party line vote articles of impeachment and see a similar process in the senate. we want to do this in a fair and even-handed way thatat gives the president his chance to finally make his case and to teach not just this house majority in case they are thinking about impeaching donald trump
9:25 pm
again but future house majorities that there is no political benefit to be gained in this kind ofo ramshackle impeachment process. >> tucker: i think that's a fair point. senator, thanks so much for coming on and explaining that. t >> yeah, thanks, tucker. >> tucker: well, creepy porn lawyer's presidential campaign has hit something of a speed bump. is he in prison tonight. jeffrey zucker's minions need a new project. one is making an hbo documentary.y. take a look back at the career of one of the least impressive people in this country. how did he get a tv show? good question. plus nfl star antonio brown has ruined his career with outlandish behavior. an argument that there is a double standard going on in professional sports. he will explain it when we come back. ♪ - do you have a box of video tapes, film reels, or photos,

entitled after truth disinformation and the cost of fake news. [laughter] it's hilarious. you would think the irony alarms would be going off everywhere woo woo woo this guy works at cnn and that's a channel that spent two years pushing the russia hoax. this is a channel that believed jussie smollett's hoax and many other fake crimes. and then there was the timeim don lemon i would say charming at least lecturede his viewers on the peaceful nobility of antifa.ec >> it says it right in the name antifa. antifascism which is what they were there fighting. listen, there is no organization that's perfect. there is some violence. no one condones the violence, but there were different reasons for antifa and for these neo nazis to be there. one, racist fascists, the other group fighting racist fascists. there is a distinction there. >> tucker: um-huh. there is a distinction, yeah. antifa, good guys a few
9:32 pm
months later lemon explaining to us perfectly fine for a mob to target high school kids for the crime of making america great again hat. f >> the maga hat carries a certain connotation that provokes a conditioned reaction from many people, especially from marginalized people. >> tucker: got it? violence good, red hats bad. just last week cnn settled the lawsuit. i wonder if this is in the hbo documentary with covington student nic sandmann they tried to destroy his life and these are the people lecturing you about fake news. amazing. author of the book panic attack he joins us tonight. hey, robbie. this does seem a little bit preposterous, right? this is like hiring a homeless guy as your realtor. [laughter] bernie madoff as your financial advisor. this kid is lecturing us on fake news. >> i wonder if the documentary will cover any of the myriad, multiple w
9:33 pm
errors false news stories, misleading stories, post truth world that we live in according to them. i wonder if their own role in that will be chronicled.in i think that's the annoying thing, right? they act like everything was fine and then all of a sudden trump and the rightht wing media they created this dispope yahweh live in where you can't trust any information and we are just these, you know, these poor lost souls trying to deliver you the truth. we are not ideological we are above the fray. that's their message. i don't think anyone believes that and i don't think people on the left believe that after this weekek watching cnn's hosts push this narrative invented by what i assume is elizabeth warren's campaign staff thatis bernie told her a woman couldn't win and you saw them ask, you know, bernie has asked about it. he denies it. and then warren is not asked about it.s the question that she got framed it as if it was true, which is important because the activist left, the progressives, believe that
9:34 pm
you cannot question people who are claiming some kind of victim status. so that was a subtle example of activism rather than journalism kind of out in the open for everyone. it was an important momenthe that should really just -- it's a black eye on their organization. >> tucker: you think it would slow them down a little bit. you think they would have some scintilla of self-awareness, right? if i just paid millions of dollars to a high school kid for slandering him i might pull back before lecturing other people about fake s news. their aggression seems to only increase. >> absolutely. you see and i read articles all the time about the horrifying world we live in that is more racist and sexist than ever before. that hate crimes are off the chart. even as we see these things get debunked from time to time.he even as we see the statistics shown to be misleading. they are living in this world where everything is so bad that it's just not like historically true. they have this ideologicalal conviction that things must
9:35 pm
be the worst they have ever been. and i keep thinking there was misleading news out there by the way before social media existed, before the moment we live in, newspapers have been, you know, convincing the american public to support stupid things for decades, probably centuries. it's just not -- it's alarmism and that's kind offus what they are promoting. >> tucker: it's being rewarded. i want to live in a world where impressive people rise to the top and unimpressive people should be parking my car. brian seltzer should be parking my car but he has an hbo show. robby, thank you. >> my pleasure.bb >> tucker: nfl wide receiver antonio brown has enough talent to be one of the world's highest paid athletes very talented currently he doesn't have a job. cut off from multiple teams for bad behavior that would include sexual assault.

9:37 pm
odell beckham jr. and antonio brown, these are two guys that are constantly trying to build their social media brand.tl they want to be bigger and bigger influencers. and that's going on with a lot of professional athletes. we have moved from athletes being role models to being influencers. influencers are there to basically promote product, to build a following and convince their following to buy product. >> tucker: you are describing a business that they are running? >> yeah. absolutely. the social media brand influencer is their goal andnd they don't care what measures they have to go to to get there. so, that's why they keep putting out viral producto over social media ab., antonio brown put that video out of him talking this abusively in front of his kids.im >> tucker: he sent that out. >> yeah. he put it on his instagram page. he filmed it. had someone film it and he
9:38 pm
put it out.t it's content made to go viral because this guy is addicted to social media and building a social media following. these are two of the biggest nfl players with social media brand and that's why they keep doing things to go viral. odell beckham jr. he was handing out wads of cash on the playing field after the national championship game. he knows that's illegal. he knows he is being filmed. it's a viral moment to build up o.b.j. and his brand. the goal for a lot of these athletes and particularly wide receivers in the nfl, becomes a big a brand as you can be. try to be the mail version of kim kardashian, lindsey lohan, paris hilton, it's not about being a role model. a role model and that's what athletes used to aspire to be was about modeling behavior for young people to emulate. influencers it's about building as big a following as you can and convincing that following buy sneakers, buy whatever product.
9:39 pm
>> tucker: you are saying infamy is as valuable and notoriety. screaming obscenities in front of kids makes you money? >> absolutely. have you not been watching this reality world. building tv shows around a housewives attacking each other and showing all thee dysfunction within their family. a.b. is -- look, a.b. has, i think, some mental health issues, no question. you got to question whether both of these guys maybe have some chemical issues or substance abuse issues if you just look at their behavior over and over again. but, primarilyri they are addicted to their cell phones and addicted to social media. they are addicted to becoming more and more infamous building a bigger following. kim kardashian became famous because of a sex tape. this cussing out of the police. having some incident in front of your home with kids there, anything to build to
