of wall. by next year, we will be over 400 miles and shortly thereafter it will be complete. ♪ >> tucker: a good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." if you've been watching this channel and we hope you have been, you know the president is rallying his supporters in southern new jersey going on right now. his supporters started lining up sunday afternoon just to get inside. we are monitoring with the president is talking about. news may occur, likely well aware of highlights. one thing the president is certain to weigh in on is the ongoing senate impeachment trial which continues to drag on like a head cold. history's most intensely covered head cold. as of tonight, impeachment has received many times the news coverage of everything else that happened in the past couple weeks combined. in america's newsroom, impeachment is all the matters that should tell you something.

in fact it ought to make you suspicious. the world is changing incredibly fast out there and it's fascinating and ominous and worth covering. but by and large, the media are all but ignoring it. why are they doing that? consider the stories they are downplaying in favor of a protected government hearing whose ending we already know. for starters, at this very moment, serious viral outbreak is spreading across china, the world's biggest country. in the matter of weeks, this new strain of coronavirus has generated almost as many new cases as sars did. more than 100 people have died so far and that's just the official total. the real number is likely higher. hong kong has closed its borders with mainland china. as of tonight for reasons that are not clear, planes are still landing in this country from chinese cities. by any objective standard, that's the biggest story of the

day, may be the moment. potential pandemic rising from asia. that's not all that's happening outside the impeachment world. according to a new cdc report, the suicide rate in this country has risen by an astounding 40% over the past 17 years. last year, an additional 16,000 americans killed themselves compared to the rate from 17 years ago. you likely know one of them. most people do. that's more deaths than the entire iraq and afghan war combined. the hardest hit sector of the population, you won't be surprised to learn, blue-collar workers. the same group being crushed by wage stagnation, and employment in the opioid academic. being crushed above all by the loathing and contempt our ruling class so clearly feels for them. why are they dying? neglect is one of the main causes. more on that later in the show. as if that weren't enough, all of that, a well-known harvard university professor turns out to be a chinese phi.

for real. charles lieber, chair of harvard's chemistry department, arrested today for concealing millions of dollars in payments from the chinese government and hiding his involvement in a chinese program to acquire foreign technology and expertise. if those allegations against him are true, he betrayed this country to assist our most dangerous enemy and he wasn't alone. authorities have charged a boston university grad student who apparently was secretly serving as a lieutenant in the people's liberation army. on forward in her research straight to beijing. that researchers in china so she will likely not be charged. another researcher caught smuggling 21 vials of biological material out of logan airport in boston. remember when america was shocked when the rosenbergs were caught stealing secrets and sending them to the soviet union? today chinese spies are so common in colleges and in

government, it doesn't even write a story. three news stories, each more compelling and more inherently important than the impeachment farce we have been enduring. what do these stories have in common? each one points up the selfish incompetence of the people in charge. maybe that's why the media don't want to talk about them. because their job is to protect the people in charge. here's one more story they are not telling you about in any detail. the growing chaos within the democratic party. with the first votes of the 2020 race less than a week from now, things are falling apart. bernie sanders is all of a sudden poised to win back the first three contests in a row. historically that's been a guarantee of a presidential nomination. bernie's rise has been happening for months but like every major new development in the world, it's been slow to dawn on official washington which has been wholly engage the emotionally satisfying ritual of hating donald trump. now bernie has arrived and he's impossible to ignore. the democratic establishment is

waking up to a nightmare and they are horrified. no democrat in washington really believes joe biden is a strong candidate, no matter what they tell you. talk to them privately, anyone who knows him, and they will admit joe biden shouldn't even be running or for that matter driving. everyone agrees it is sad to watch. their designated savior is finance mobile michael bloomberg. an elderly white male billionaire writing to the rescue of a party that as a matter of official policy hates white male billionaires. doesn't sound likely, doesn't? if this were a movie, they would be left out of the pitch meeting. no one will believe it. this is washington were purportedly smart people convince themselves of unlikely things and go with it. bloomberg is the candidate they are backing for now anyway. oh, but let's stop talking about depressing topics like chinese spying, global pandemics and the

rise of socialism in our country. let's get back to something small and fun like john bolton's new book. they hated him once on cable television. now he's their hero. why? his book and the sideshow it represents makes it possible for the rest of us to ignore their failures. it's still interesting and we are going to talk to jeff sessions tonight, president trump to attorney general and now running to reclaim his old seat in the senate from alabama. he joins us tonight. senator, thanks for coming on. you've been around a long time. you'll run into john bolton unknown him. you have to have because everyone here does. what do you make of his role in the impeachment saga tonight? >> well, i don't like the book. it's probably inevitable that something like this would leak. he is the national security advisor for the president of the united states. to help the president achieve foreign policy agenda. i don't like it. we don't have enough discipline them nor government. we don't have enough respect for the chief executive of our

country. the unified executive who gets to set foreign policy goals and not the advisor. i am uneasy about it. i don't think it's a healthy thing. the liberals and democrats are using this in every way possible to try to try to enhance and excite the impeachment fizzle going on. >> tucker: you had turmoil. did you ever leak information? >> i did not. it's entirely unacceptable. it's an absolute wrong thing to do. we need more discipline in this government. i tried to establish it at the department of justice. we went from three intelligence investigations to 27 in just a matter of months. i think we have tightened up some things, but it really depends on the integrity and the personal responsibility and honor really of the people hired

by the president who are supposed to serve him and help him advance his agenda. >> tucker: when we spoke last week about the impeachment farce, you are view was as a long-time united states senator, knowing all the republicans in the chamber, that the republicans were going to stick with the president and there was no chance of a conviction. has anything you've seen in the last week changed your mind? are you still confident of that? >> i am reasonably confident of that. i don't know what sh they wouldo on witnesses but it seems that the house had overwhelming evidence against the president when they returned the impeachment articles. we found out that's not true and i don't see anything else that would likely change it. the council who argued that even if this were all true, it's insufficient to sustain a removal of a president from office. this is huge. i believe that and i have

believed it from day one and i don't think we need to necessarily -- i don't think we should go forward. that will be up to the senators. they will wrestle with it. so we will see how they decide. i think it's time to bring this to a conclusion because the fundamentals don't justify removal and conviction for the president of the united states. >> tucker: one final question, earlier today the "los angeles times" ran a story, part of an interview they did with senator dianne feinstein of california in which she seemed to suggest she wasn't convinced the president was guilty. she didn't like the president but she didn't think he was guilty and she was considering voting to acquit. within a couple hours, someone clearly twisted her arm and she issued a statement saying i still dislike trump. is there anything -- is there any chance that democrats vote to acquit? >> i think a number of democrats have to be worried about this.

it's a horrible precedent that you have a dispute with the president, party that can -- that controls the house may use that power to undermine the effectiveness of the president of the united states. it's not a right thing to do. there's got to be a lot of democrats worried about it. >> tucker: you would think. i don't think anyone wants to live with this because it's too stupid. mr. attorney general, senator sessions, great to see you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: impeachment is going whether we like it or not and it's continued to drive the people glued to their screens all day completely bonkers. disgrace serial liar and former cia chief john brennan, hard to believe he ran the most important spy agency in the world but now he's dead. he recently said impeachment required canceling the state of the union for some reason. watch. >> one of the things that i worry about is we are going to have a state of the union very shortly while all of this is going on. >> is the state of our union

strong? who's going to say that? >> not just embarrassing but i think it's also very destructive to the image of the united states worldwide. i question whether it makes sense to hold that at this point. >> tucker: john brennan is a little concerned the president might be able to talk in public as he is required to do by the constitution. how did guy like that run the cia? honestly. honestly. oh, because obama appointed him. that's why. if you are tired of this, we have bad news for you. it's bad news for us, trust me, and the cable news business. elizabeth warren says that in the very unlikely event she actually becomes president, she will create a special task force just to investigate and punish anyone unwise enough to serve and an administration she doesn't approve of. a permanent feature of life you're in washington. charlie hurt, opinion editor and author of a great book. thanks for coming on. imagine looking at what we've been through for the past three years and i would think there

are people who don't approve of donald trump who think nothing is getting fixed. everyone's going crazy. putter is dominating the conversation. this is bad but if you are elizabeth warren, you say i would like a second helping. i want more. >> it reveals how utterly clueless she is. you think about the people, it's not the people who like donald trump, it's the people who have been like to buy these people. they have been told they are going to remove trump over the russia scandal. now they're being told they're going to impeach him over this. it's all nonsense. they've been lied to. people get like to enough and at some point something breaks. that's when really bad things happen. think about it from their perspective. political persecutions are really easy. it's so much easier than governing. especially when you have real problems like the ones you have laid out about china and the coronavirus. dealing with something like that, especially if you have really bad ideas about dealing

with these things, like thinking that we need to send our boys, send all of our money to defend borders in syria while our own border with mexico is completely wide open. people that are that dumb who have ideas like that, of course they would prefer to do a political persecution. they will let all that other stuff happen, all the stupid stuff happened but the political persecution is so much easier. >> tucker: maybe i shouldn't even say this on tv. you live in a very rural area. when you read these stories with the suicide rate jumping are the opioid o.d. rate jumping, that's not affecting any neighborhood where we are sitting right now. it's affecting more where you live and i wonder how frustrated people become if they see their neighbors literally dying and nobody here cares. >> it's amazing how much people back home have completely tuned out everything that's going on up here. they could not tell john bolton from captain kangaroo.

they certainly do not care about whatever was written in his book. they do not care -- what are the ratings of these impeachment hearing? they are zero. nobody cares. except for people who sort of find the political back-and-forth interesting. i find some of the debate interesting. watching lawyers debate about what the founders intended, i find it mildly interesting. but it does nothing to fix anything back home. that's how donald trump became president. he talked about things. donald trump, people overlook the fact that the 2016 election more than anything, it was more issue-oriented in any election in our lifetime. he talked about all these issu issues. i am conservative. why do i like him? i didn't think he was conservative. things have gotten so bad, i'm not looking for a conservative. i am looking for somebody with some common sense. >> tucker: who can identify the issues.

>> and who likes america. tall order. >> tucker: the person talks about the issues that actually matter what win. charlie hurt, great to see you. the chinese coronavirus is starting to look like not a small thing but possibly a serious threat. according to elizabeth warren, the virus, a possible pandemic, as a perfect opportunity didn't complain about the same things she's been complaining about for a long time. global warming and america being racist. that's next. also the president holding a rally in southern new jersey this evening we are monitoring it for news. if there is some we will bring it to you. will be right back. cnn's experts ridicule the middle of the nation. georgetown and malibu and that dark space in between. mark steyn joins us. >> that is partly him playing to their base and their audience the boomer rube demo.

♪ >> tucker: all of a sudden the chinese coronavirus is looking like a real threat that could be a global epidemic or maybe even pandemic. it's possible. it's the kind of thing they could be very serious. thousands of cases already confirmed, more than 100 are dead. with a two-week incubation. meh, more cases are a certainty. so far traveled between the united states and china is completely unaffected.

why? who knows, but it is. elizabeth warren's campaign has put out a campaign for finding coronavirus and other potential pandemics. one item is fighting global warming. huh? of course. one of the top causes of the disease is apparently racism. right, okay. this is not science. obviously. it's religion. whatever. in that spirit, warren's plan calls for building equity protections in the funding for emergency preparedness. what the hell is this? senator tom cotton represents the state of arkansas and he has a more direct plan. he joins us tonight. thank you for coming on tonight, senator. this elizabeth warren plan, parts of it are sort of series and parts of it -- the main parts are totally deranged. what does racism and global warming have to do with the coronavirus? any idea? >> it's hard to figure on that one. it seems like no matter what the

circumstances, the answer is always more government and more of your tax dollars. there is very simple way to stop this virus from coming to america more than it already has and that is to stop commercial air travel from the chinese mainland to the united states. that's exactly what i have urged the trump administration to do today with caveats to make sure american citizens and their family members can be evacuated and appropriately monitored. that's the simple solution, not medicare for all, the green new deal. to address what you say could be a global pandemic. this is an instance in which benjamin franklin's maxim is truly correct. an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. >> tucker: so as we started the show, apparently some american carriers have canceled flights between mainland china and the united states. the administration has not, that we know of, weighed in on it y yet. this disease, this virus is spreading at exactly the same moment when a chinese spy ring has been uncovered, at harvard

and in the boston area. there's a lot going on here. it's very hard to see what would be the argument against taking these precautionary steps. particularly considering hong kong, china satellite, has close the border. what's going on here? >> sure, so tucker, the chinese government has a history of dishonesty and incompetence not only in general but specifically related to infectious diseases. look at what happened with sars. china is not acting like a government that has control of this outbreak. hong kong has/travel from the mainland. china currently has more than 50 million of its own people in quarantine. that's more than the population of our west coast combined and china has canceled school indefinitely. no matter what they say, china's history and more importantly their actions the last few days tell us that this is a severe outbreak that they do not have close to getting under control. >> tucker: why am i watching

impeachment coverage all day? you are in the united states. it's not your fault. you're in the senate. you are following this actual story. you are watching this garbage in washington. why are people focused on one and not the other? >> tucker, that's right. anytime i come out of the impeachment trial for a break, it seems like there's been reports of another thousand people have contracted this virus and a few more that have been killed. when we wake up in the morning in america, i assure you those numbers will go up again. i suspect that months from now or perhaps even years from now when people look back at this time, coronavirus will be considered the bigger story than impeachment. i hope that's wrong. i hope we can get this epidemic under control before it reaches our shores in far-reaching numbers. we should apply an ounce of prevention here as opposed to a pound of cure after the fact. >> tucker: that's right. i am totally opposed to alarmism. there's too much of it. we should identify the real

risks and focus on them. this is a real risk. i appreciate your calling attention to it. thank you. mayor pete buttigieg of south bend is running for president. his campaign is imploding as left-wing staffers accuse each other of racism and micro-aggressions. it's just too great. you can't miss it. you will enjoy every moment of it. we are monitoring the president's reelection rally in the state of new jersey. breaking news may occur and we will go there. we'll be right back. >> president trump: our glorious battle to won american independence. george washington. this is the state where generations of tough and strong new jersey people, farmers and factory workers built this country into the single greatest nation on the face of the earth, and we are making it greater.

>> tucker: you have heard a lot about how the democratic campaigns are in chaos, and they are and it shows. elizabeth warren making desperate accusations of sexism. michael bloomberg spending $4 million a day and so far has gone nowhere. joe biden may not know what year it is. you haven't heard quite as much about mayor pete buttigieg of indiana. don't worry. his campaign is imploding too. the story in today's "new york times" profiles the turmoil inside the buttigieg effort. staffers are making race-based attacks on each other. that's not a good sign but it's revealing. the buttigieg campaign set racial quotas for hiring. 40% of the staff are nonwhite.

as the times noted, most of the buttigieg senior advisors are still the forbidden color. the campaign held two diversity themed retreats for staff and holding two for local workers in iowa, nevada, south carolina. it wasn't enough to nearly win him any african-american support. all of the diversity initiatives have done nothing for buttigieg. in the campaign itself is now coming apart partly because of it. the times quoted someone called alexis collins wait'll in buttigieg's department who demeans job at ken's working "my stomach is in knots. it's like a bunch of white dud dudes. "that's the worst epithet they can throw you from the buttigieg campaign. the campaign sent a survey to everyone "please only fill out the survey if you identify as a person of color.

that's not racist somehow? their answers were "used to inform our white colleagues about privilege and micro-aggression. in other words, as an attack on people for their skin color. it coming from people who lecture you about racism, that's totally fine. some of the sins they say staffers could be committing include interrupting someone in a conversation not including people in an email or confusing them with the staffer of the same race. to seen altizer's outsiders , they've been totally consumed with pointless racist feeding, narcissism in other words, it's really the hallmark of the woke left. it's all about me and my identity. let's talk about me. enough about you. instead of aptly talking about ours about things might care about, like their problems which are manifold in this country. it should come us too much as a prize that buttigieg campaign is, even as it ignores the country, obsessed with policing micro-aggressions on its own

staff. ergo, vindman had to perform a public penance for the heinous crime of saying that america, all lives are equally important. >> 2015. you set all lives matter when you spoke about controversies happening in south bend. without a mistake? >> what i did not understand at the time was that that phrase early in mid-2015 was coming to be viewed as a counter slogan to black lives matter. since learning about how that phrase was being used to push back on that, i stopped using it in that context. >> tucker: here is the self-described christian candidate who knows god a lot better than you ever will, pagan, telling you that he was wrong to say all lives matter. that is a christian candidate. okay. vindman himself is currently denouncing america as a racist swear where the goods control every aspect of our lives. >> do you think people who

support president trump and his policies are racist? bigger anyone who supports this is supporting racism. our health care system is burdened by racism. we know housing is burdened by racism and schools are burdened by racism. the uniform is burdened by racism but it was far beyond that. it's a matter of concern for every american that we dismantle systemic racism before it ends the american project in our lifetime. >> tucker: i mean, come on. there are bad people in the country. horrible periods in our history. still problems, bad attitudes. essentially and you will know this if you go anywhere, it's really nice country full of really nice people of all colors. the vast majority of americans, democrats included, treat each other fairly inhumanely as people, not as boxes to check on a farm, not as commanders of micro-aggressions. human beings. irrespective of the race. the buttigieg campaign, no. that's a totally different

matter. chadwick moore is a new york journalist and we are happy to have them on the show. thanks for coming on. if you reach a point where you're campaign staff are attacking each other because of their skin color, i think things are falling apart. am i overstating? >> this is the best argument ever for against affirmative action, diversity higher or whatever, we are days away from the iowa caucuses and what are they fighting about? recent diversity quotas. it's a good allegory for the democrat party that you get a bunch of them on a stage together and asked her about trade with china, something that americans really care about, and they will divulge into some diatribe about global warming dy affecting transgender women of color. do people pay attention to them? i don't understand if they are even try anymore. i don't know that they are so incredible out of touch with this country that they actually think you want to hear these things and people are interested in these diversity quotas,

race-based accusations. when actually like you said most people tend to get along. >> tucker: yeah, people are nice. >> you have millennial tyrants to start taking over. bringing campaigns down. >> tucker: what is so ominous is buttigieg, i don't know him about just watching him, clearly pretty smart. he is certainly exactly what our system produces that the top. every stupid credential we hand out. he has a chest full of metals that the ruling class has bestowed him. he is supposed to be the best we have. he's worried about micro-aggressions? is this the best we can do? i don't want to think that. >> if he cared about race, where we not talking about the black community in south bend, indiana. why aren't we figuring out? the past few months, eating fried chicken with al sharpton,

drink malt liquor. extremely patronizing! he has people working for him who are worried about micro-aggressions. what on earth. you want to jog what real racism, that's pretty racist. >> tucker: drinking malt liquor out of a paper bag? >> in harlem. >> tucker: elite and narcissism. no condition to any people and any people's problems. i don't think anyone can get elected on this. >> absolutely. i don't understand with this party is. what is their in game? are they all sort of just shopping around for the next job? or do they actually think they can be president and beat president trump? i don't think any of them think they can. they are off on some weird universe try to get donors and fans. i have no idea. if they knew anything, former obama voters who switch to trump other people they should be trying to win over in the rust belt.

mayor pete is from a rust belt state. he should be uniquely qualified to talk to these people and he talks way over their heads. >> tucker: and now he's stuck in identity politics hell, the cul-de-sac of race, gender, and sexuality. we will look back in shame on this moment. chadwick moore, great to see you. hillary clinton is promoting her upcoming totally not a campaign video documentary. [laughs] it's unbelievable! keep a diary. it's too good. that means more interviews, more and more interviews with hillary. where she says incredibly been all things, all of which lead back to one thing who she was overweening ambition. this week the venue is "variety magazine. calling tulsi gabbard a russian asset, clinton says she is fed up with the attacks on women running for president. >> the misogyny directed not only the women themselves but other supporters.

it is so shocking. i am seeing some of the same right now, some of the organized efforts to undercut, demean, belittle. the women who'd been running and still running. in this election. >> tucker: hillary clinton can be a champion of women, anything is possible. we should tell you hillary said she's not running for president but she thinks about it all the time, and i know you're surprised by that. and she totally good. in fact, she might. >> i know you're not running but do you ever feel the urge that i could beat him if i were or they wish. >> i certainly feel the urge because i feel like the 2016 election was really an odd, and on time and outcome and the more we learn, the more that seems to be the case but i'm going to support the people were running know and do everything i can to help elect the democratic

nominee. >> tucker: okay. tammy bruce hosts a show on fox nation and she joins us. this is a hillary segment but i want to broaden it. the class of people that bhagat hillary loves itself more blindly and with less cost than any group of people. can we agree on that? >> we can expand it into the cul-de-sac you mentioned about identity politics. i think she is smack right into pete buttigieg with this new return to concerns for women. it's so remarkable thing and yet it's like groundhog day. coming up on february 2. it's a weird repeating dynamic of what this woman is doing. it's a difficult framework because we've got hillary who can't let go and yet when you think about her complaining about how women are attacked, isn't tulsi gabbar tulsi suing t

accusation of being a russian agent? maybe being a russian agent is in fact gender-neutral. maybe that's how she gets away with doing that, hard to say. but at the same time, remember this is a woman who didn't even have the emotional and moral courage to face her supporters on election night in 2016. she sent john podesta to do it and he misled them. she had already called trope to concede and he said there's more votes to count. it's not over. it was over. she didn't even phase him. they are in the fetal position and they are crying because they had been lied to and misled for four months. i think she doesn't want to run. she felt she was entitled in '16. i think she feels entitled omniscient because you know, this is her second term, since she won last time. she doesn't want to run. she thinks she's entitled now to

the nomination. watch for that brokered convention. people, th the democrats are disturbed and do not apply logio the nature of the decisions they make including hillary. >> tucker: you're right. we made our hotel room reservations for milwaukee in july. see you there. the president has been rallying supporters in jersey. we have the highlights. on cnn they spent last night ridiculing americans as barely human losers. we've got the video and mark steyn. and they lived happily ever after. the end.

the end might not be as happy as you think. after all, 4 out of 5 people who have a stroke, their first symptom is a stroke! but the good news is you can rewrite your ending and get screened for stroke and cardiovascular disease. life line screening is the easy and affordable way to make you aware of undetected health problems before they hurt you. we use ultrasound technology to literally look inside your

arteries for plaque that builds up as you age- and increases your risk for stroke and heart disease. so if you're over 40, call to schedule an appointment for five painless screenings that go beyond annual checkups. and if you call us today, you'll only pay $149-an over 50% savings. read it again, papa? sure. i've got plenty of time. life line screening. the power of prevention. call now to learn more. ♪ >> tucker: the sports world

still shocked tonight by the death of nba star kobe bryant over the weekend. he and his young daughter and seven others died in a helicopter crash. it's a crushingly sad story. here is another detail about that morning you should know about. the last thing kobe bryant and his daughter did before they boarded the helicopter was attend church at the cathedral of our lady queen of the angels in newport beach, california. the service they went to started at 7:00 a.m. but according to the priest, bryant and his daughter got there early for communion. it goes without saying that people who own helicopters can do whatever they want sunday mornings. how many get up before dawn today communion with their kids? kobe bryant did that and because, unlike so many famous people, he was a generally private person, we never knew that now we do know it. what a sad way to learn it. cable news has struggled to get the american people to care as much as they are required to about impeachment in ukraine and

russia. this might be worth some reflection. maybe others stories are more important to people who live here like the fact they are dying younger. oh, no. for don lemon on cnn, there's an easier answer. ordinary people are stupid, unlike don lemon, stupid. >> he also knows deep in his heart that donald trump couldn't find ukraine on a map if you had the u and a picture of a crane. it's an administration defined by ignorance of the world. that's partly of him playing to their base and playing to the audience, the credulous boomer rubik demo that backs donald trump. that wants to think donald trump is the smart one and the all elitist. >> only them elitists know where ukraine is. [laughter] >> tucker: yeah. there are a lot of lessons you can take from that tape which is

all over the internet and should play it again and again because until the whole story of the moment we're living in. first and most obviously, once again, the things they are accusing you of, not generally but specifically, are exactly the things they are guilty of themselves. they are projecting, they are externalizing their own internal problems and neuroses and laying them at your feet. you're a racist, say people who attack you for your skin color. you're an idiot, says don lemon, and that other guy with the beard. again, don lemon. this is the man and we are not making this up, who once out loud whether a missing airliner might have flown into a black hole. >> if it was hijacking or terrorism or mechanical failure or pilot error. what if it was something we don't really understand. a lot of people have been asking about that, about black holes and on and on and on. they are also referencing the twilight zone, similar plot. that's what people are saying.

i know it's preposterous but is it preposterous? >> tucker: don lemon, the man who sincerely believes that the fruit-based cold desert is pronounced sor-bet is calling me stupid. we are joined by mark steyn. as a rube who lives in rural america, how are you responding? >> that's cnn flying the democrats into the black hole. if you want more from, this is how you get more trump. they might as well relabel the panel the trump reelection committee. that's what they are doing. this is actually the bipartisan establishment condescension summed up completely. 63 million people are credulous

rubes according to these guys. by the way, the black hole theory, things like that come by every day on cnn. and msnbc. just the other day, lawrence o'donnell suggested that trump killed general soleimani as a favor to john bolton so john bolton would agree not to testify in the senate impeachme. >> tucker: larry mcdonald went to harvard. it's harbin. >> it's not claim to stop. if bolton doesn't go for that, he might have to drone justin trudeau. that's what they talk about on cnn and then msnbc. i'd be interested if hunter biden could find ukraine on a map and he's made millions of dollars from that joint. >> tucker: like chris cuomo, a

yale graduate. did you go to yale? i don't think you're smart enough, are you? >> no, i certainly couldn't. i certainly don't have -- i mean, this is the idiocy of this. it's not a public policy difference anymore. it used to be that just republican presidents were stupid. now they are saying that tens of millions of americans are stup stupid. in a democratic age, that's actually not going to help people who advanced that theory. >> tucker: imagine thinking that anyway. it's a deeply uncharitable, inhumane, cruel way to look at your own country. it's hard to imagine people feel that way. >> it is lock a hot mic moment. it's like they are talking in the commercial break and they don't realize they are on air and that's how they really think of millions of their countrymen.

and actually rick wilson stupid line, he's a republican party strategist. republican voters give money to the republican party and the republican party gives it to idiots like rick wilson. that bipartisan nonsense is why we are where we are today. >> tucker: exactly. we missed you last week. welcome back. >> great to be with you. >> tucker: president trump rallying his backers in new jersey. we have highlights for you. we'll be right back. when you're not able to smile you become closed off. the meaning of a smile to me is the beginning of a conversation. the best advice i can give anyone... ...is don't wait. at aspen dental, we're all about yes. like yes to free exam and x-rays for new patients without insurance. yes to flexible hours and payment options. and yes, you'll start smiling more too. don't wait, book at aspendental.com or call today. a general dentistry office.

♪ >> tucker: as promised, highlights from the providence rally and wildwood, new jersey. >> president trump: washington democrats have never been more extreme than they are right now. frankly, they are crazy. these people are crazy. they are taking their cues from socialists like bernie, left-wing lawmakers are pushing a government takeover of health care that would strip 180 million americans of their private health care plans, which many people like. we've won -- the money is won and we are now building that beautiful wall. and this powerful border wall is going up at record speed and we just reached over 100 miles of wall. by next year, we will be over

400 miles and shortly thereafter it will be complete. democrats are for crime, corruption and chaos. republicans are for law, order, and justice. say what do you want. those are the facts. we are removing these illegal criminals and gang members. we are literally taking them by so many, thousands and thousands, and we are bringing them back. thanks to our tireless efforts of border patrol to secure our border. we will defend privacy, free-speech, religious liberty, and the right to keep and bear arms, which is under siege. by the way, our second amendment is under siege. in virginia, they want to take your guns away. it's just the beginning. never going to happen. as long as i'm president of the

united states. that i can tell you. >> tucker: th the president speaking tonight in wildwood, new jersey. we are out of time. back tomorrow at 8:00 p.m., the show that's the swarm and sincere enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and groupthink. sean hannity takes it away. >> fiery speech. welcome aboard. i want you to listen very closely to this monologue. this schumer sham schiff show is over and i'm going to tell you why it's over. i listen closely to every detail of the presidents defense, including the actions of quid and pro and quo joe and zero experience hunter and how joe shut down the country of ukraine. everyone looked at what hunter and joe did and were doing and said don't do this. hunter has zero experience in ukraine. no experience in oil. no experience in gas.
