because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." if it feelss like three months of news has been compacted into a single week, that's pretty close. the president gave a wild speech today responding to his impeachment acquittal. nancy pelosi's state of the human behavior and a retired private equity kingpin who uses the u.s. senate to deliver moral sermons to america. he is a 10-second sampling. >> we were treated unbelievably unfairly and you have to understand, we first went through russia, russia, russia. it was all [bleep].

>> tucker: you'll hear more. mark steyn joins us to respond to all of it. also we will dig into the still-unfinished chaos in iowa. that's unbelievable. and then the coronavirus continues to spread to fight. a chinese doctor who sounded the alarm about it is now dead. dr. marc siegel joins us to assess the growing threat. but first, a story that has not received nearly enough attention. in cities across the country, prosecutors and lawmakers are working frantically to make life worse for normal people. and easier for thugs and armed robbers. we told about new york's new bailaw law, the one that lets criminals back onto the street immediately after being caught. not surprisingly, crime has surged. this has shocked nobody except maybe chris cuomo's brother, who runs the state and who's responsible for it. now there's this sad story. in 2018, new york resident wilma rodriguez was brutally assaulted by two members of ms-13. after he try to protect two boys they were threatening. idriguez agreed to testify against his attackers in court, as good citizensiz do.

that decision cost him his life. on sunday, rodriguez was beaten to death outside his home. until recently, rodriguez would have been protected new york law, which allowed prosecutors to conceal the names of witnesses until shortly before trial for their safety. but a new law, this one passed to help criminal defendants, required prosecutors to turn over rodriguez's name to the gang members lawyers. almost immediately, gang members started harassing rodriguez. this week they killedd him. that's what new york is like now. do the right thing and you could be murdered by creditors the government is determined to protect. lunacy? yes, it is lunacy, but if not confined to new york. 2018, nancy pelosi attacked the president for daring to call ms-13 members animals. according to pelosi, trump was more immoral than the gang members he insulted. >> we are all god's children. there's a spark of divinity and every person on earth and so on the of the united states says about undocumented immigrants these are people, these are

animals, i have to wonder, does he not believe in a spark of divinity, the dignity and worth of every person? every day that you think you've seen it all, along comes another manifestation of why their policies are so inhumane. >> tucker: he's, ms-13 are god's children. fox did an entire video about how really ms-13 was misunderstood high school students. decent hardworking kids maligned by a racist media. >> when you think of the street gang ms-13, what do you see? may be something like this, or this. but what if i told you the typical ms-13 gang member in the u.s. actually looks like one of these young men on facebook? speak of the ms members that i've been following our working after-school jobs, their living with their parents. they get around long island on bicycles. >> there's no indication that we

are seeing a bigger surge of ms-13 then we'd seen in the pa past. >> tucker: box want you to calm down. it was just a false alarm, everything is cool, go back to bed. though scary ms-13 gang members, just a nightmare. except they weren't, they're real. ms-13 is an actual organization. it's a massive transnational criminal organization left behind a trail of bodies in a number of countries over decad decades. three years ago we traveled to el salvador to see where it all started. >> we visited a dissension center inpe san salvador were suspected ms-13 members are being held beforefo trial. more than 50 men packed in a single cell, their backs to us to avoid being identified. some seemed barely out of childhood. though in many cases they were covered in gang tattoos. a sign of their total commitment. before long, some of these guys may wind up in l.a. or long island. it's happening now. >> what was your role in the gang? >> [inaudible] >> what does that mean? >> trigger man. i

that means that i had the means to kill. >> how old were you when you first killed? >> i was 15. it was my first homicide. >> how many people did you kill? >> i killed quite a few. quite a few. >> tucker: a 15-year-old committing murder. we have those in our country too. it's a sad fact, something we should be both horrified and ashamed of. crime and violence are the most clear signs that the for society functioning as it should. if the increased return point, societies don't function at all and we should be worried about thatay always. we should be doing all we can to build a country who or people who follow the law are reported and also flout it and above all children can live and seek to make peace and safety. they used to be obvious. it's not obvious anymore. at this moment there's a bill pending in the congress called the new way forward act. it's received almost no publicity and that's unfortunate as well as revealing. if the legislation is sponsored by 44 house democrats, including ilhan omar and alexandria conseil cortez.

it's roughly 4,400 words long, that means it's a must exactly as long as the u.s. constitution. like the constitution, it's designed in a whole new country. the bill would entirely remake our immigration system with the explicit purpose of ensuring that criminals are able to move to the united states and settle here permanently with immunity. they may think we're exaggerating for effect, but were not exaggerating, not even a little bit. the new way forward act as the single most radical piece of legislation we have ever seen proposed in this country, ever. it makes the green new deal look like the status quo. a document produced by democrats to promote the bill says this and we are quoting it verbatim. "convictions should not lead to todeportations." keep in mind, we are not talking whatns convictions were double parking or even for dui. the bill targets felony convictions, serious crimes that could send you to prison for years, and should. a press release from congressman garcia of illinois is explicit about this. garcia breaks the bill will break the "prison to deportation

pipeline." something most of us are for. so how does the bill do that? under current u.s. law, legal u.s. immigrants can be deported if they commit an "aggravated felony" or a "crime of moral turpitude," that is a vile depraved act like molesting children. under the new way forward act,d crimes of moral turpitude are eliminated entirely as justification for deportation in the category of aggregated felony gets illuminated too. so what does that mean? consider this. under current law, immigrants who commit serious crimes, robbery, defraud, to child sexual abuse must be deported regardless of the sentences they received. other crimes, less severe ones like racketeering, require deportation. if the perpetrator receives at least a onee year sentence. under this bill, there would no longer be any crime that automatically requires deportation.rtat none. in one crime also buying a passport would be made immune from deportation no matter what, because apparently 9/11 never even happened and we know longer

care about fake government documents. by the way, if you just renewed herdoby driver's license to comy with the real i.d. act, you must feel like an idiot. because immigrants are getting a pass, you're not. under the proposed legislation for crimes that would still allow deportation, the required prison sentence would rise from one year to fiveldfr years. we checked the bureau of justice statistics. according to federal data, crimes like car theft, fraud, and weapons offenses all carry average prison sentences of fewer than five years. that's just looking at averages. there are people that commit rape, child it is, even manslaughter and get sentences with fewer than five years. lots of them actually. if the new way forward act passes, immigrants who commit those crimes and receive those sentences would remain in his country and of course they will be eligible for citizenship day one too, of course. but even that is understating efthe laws of fact. even a five-year prison sentence wouldn't necessarily be enough to triggerti deportation. the bill would grant sweeping new powers to immigration judges

allowing them to nullify a deportation order. the only requirement for that is "the immigration judge finds such an exercise odiscretion appropriate and pursuant of humanitarian purposes, to assure family unity, or when it is otherwise in the public interest." talk about open-ended. in other words, anti-american immigration judges, and there are a lot of those in this country, would have a blank check to open the borders. if you would not be voting on this, it would happen anyway. is this shocking you yet? because we're just getting started. we read this proposed legislation. here's another point. current u.s. law makes drug addiction grounds for deportation because, why wouldn't it? this bill would illuminate that statute. carla also states that those of committed drug crimes abroad or "any crimes involving moral turpitude" are inevitabl ineligo immigrate here. a mexican drug cartel leader could be released from prison and freely come to america immediately and if he wants, he could come here illegally and it

still wouldn't be a crime, because, and you are waiting for the sport, it also decriminalize his illegal entry into america even by those we have previously deported. in other words, you break our law, we send you out -- you come back, you break it again, you can stay. according to a document promoting this bill, criminalizing illegal entry into america is "white supremacist." that's a quote, whitehi supremacist. by this point you're beginning to wonder are we making this up? we are not making it up. in fact, we are barely halfway through the bill. if the legislation doesn't just make it harder to deport illegal crimes.ts who commit it doesn't just make it easier for criminals to move here illegally. though it does both.t the bill would also effectively abolish all existing enforcement against illegal immigration. to detain illegal immigrants, ice would have to prove in court that they are dangerous or a flight risk. but of course ice wouldn't be allowed to use a detainee prior criminalge behavior as proof of danger buried that span. ice would have to overcome even

more criminals if the attaining claims to be gay or transgender. if they are under 21 but they can speak english with an interpreter is available, they get an immediate past. in other words, it would be much harder to arrest an illegal alien in this country than it is ou arrest you. they are the protected class here. you are just some loser who's paying for it all. butav believe it or not, we say the naughtiest part of this legislation for last, and here's what it is. what could be more destructive than changing u.s. law specifically to allow rapists, child molesters and drug dealers to stay in america? about this? using taxpayer money to bring deported criminals back into america. that's right, this bill would not only abolish our right to control who lives in your country, but it invents a brand-new right. "the right to come home." it orders the government to create a "pathway for those previously reported to return to their homes and families in the united states." as long as they would have been eligible to stay under the new law. it's retroactive, in other

words. dhs must spend taxpayer dollars transporting convicted criminal illegal aliens back into the united states. if not making this up. so who would be eligible for these flights? tens of thousands of people we kicked out of this country for all kinds of crimes, sexual abuse, robbery, assault, drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, human trafficking. from 2002-2018, 480,000 people were deported for illegal entry or reentry into america. and under this bill you have to bbuy each of them a plane tickt to come home. those tickets alone will cost about a billion dollars, and that's before democrats make you start paying for these criminals 'esprit health care too, which they plan to do and have said so. the new way forward act fundamentally inverts every assumption you have about this country. under this legislation, the criminals are now the victims.. law enforcement is illegitimate, it's racist. just like the country you live in, just like you are.

and the only solution is to get rid of both. america would be better off with a borderless rest stop for the world's predators and parasites. that's the point of this. and we are overstating, go read it. this is a big deal. this is not renaming a post office. it's hard to believe any american would put these ideas on paper, much less try to pass them into law and yet remarkably, that's happening and even more remarkably, the press has ignored it. this isn't happening -- it's happening in the house of representatives. scores of democrats have backed thisas bill, but the legislation has not been mentioned in "the new york times." it hasn't been mentioned on cnn, a newsn channel.al or even self-described conservative outlets like national review. no mention. consider if this were working the other way. it's a loan, i don't know, republican state letters later from north dakota had proposed a bill this extreme,r that would remake america completely, the president himself would be

expected to answer for it. cnn would demand that he disavow it even if he never heard of it before. but 115th of the entire democratic caucus backs of bill demanding that you import illegal alien felons and then payor for it, it's a nonevent in the american media. they don't think you should know about it. that's dangerous if we are being honest. whether the press cares or not, these are the stakes of the 2020 election, and you have a right to know what they are. a growing wing of the democratic party views america itself as essentially illegitimate, a rogue state in which every thing must be destroyed and remade. our laws, our institution, or customs, freedoms, our history, our values. and of course that's the point of all of this. an entirely new country in which resistance is crushed and they are in charge forever. and in other news from washington, nancy the ripper is not apologizing for the state of the union. in fact, she doubled down today. without the tape and mark steyn

>> these people are vicious. adam schiff is a vicious, horrible person. nancy pelosi is a horrible person. and she wanted impeach a long time ago when she said i pray for the president. i pray for it -- she didn't pray. she may pray, but she prays for the opposite. but i doubt she prays at all. >> tucker: that was the president earlier today responding to nancy pelosi's role in impeachment. but long five-month process.

below see herself is apologizing for anything she's done. in fact she said what you did at the state of union was in fact an expression of politeness. >> extended the hand of friendship to him to welcome him as the president of the united states, to the people's house. it was also an act of kindness because it looked to me like he was a little sedated. he looks that way last year also. but didn't want to shake hands. that was that. that meant nothing to me. >> tucker: it was an act of kindness, she said, to those of you who didn't recognize it as such. and with that, she returned to her life of prayerful contemplation. congressman mike johnson represents the state of louisiana, he's been at the very center of this impeachment business for a long time, he joins us tonight. congressman, first i just have to ask as a personal matter, since this is finally wrapped up as of yesterday with the vote, are you happy to be out of impeachment world? >> i am so happy. i get to go back to my real life, my wife and four kids who have been missing the last few

weeks. this was a really sad chapter in american history, we are glad it's behind us. >> tucker: so you are obviously watching their at the state of the union. when you saw the speaker ripped the president's speech to pieces, did you take that as a sign of politeness, as an expression of kindness and friendship? >> of course not. it was a shameful display, was stunning really too many members sitting in the house. it was totally unprecedented, it was shameless it was also unlawful, tucker. a lot of people have been talking with us the last 48 hours and i did a little legal memo to point out to my colleagues that she actually committed a felony when she tore that paper up. it wasn't just any copy of the state of the union address, it was the copy, the original, and we have over two centuries of custom and tradition and of course the constitution that calls for the state of union address when the president delivers copies to those top legal officers, the two top legislative officers in that branch of government, those are the official documents of the house and if you tear those up,

you violated a specific statute in the criminal code. >> tucker: we are living in a country where there are more than 10 million foreign nationals who illegally whose identities we don't know. [laughs] so we are tolerating a lot of illegal behavior. it did not any in any way to excuse what she did, but it does seem kind of orwellian to describe that as an act of kindness rather than just say it looked, hit the guy, his very words sickened me. i vandalized his speech because it makes me feel good. why not just say what's obvious? >> she took great delight in him and in fact she practiced the rep. everybody has seen the video now or she's trying to test it see how many pages she could do. look, we're losing the deformed, we're losing the tradition of stability in the congress and institution and it's just a really sad thing. i don't know how we put this genie back in the bottle. >> tucker: that's kind of a question. this is on unknowable hypothetical i guess but i still have to ask you, there's been a lot of talk about how this first impeachment in his presidency was the first in a series. do you think it's possible that democrats do this again?

>> i think it's not only possible, i think it's probable. i know that i just want to the house floor and there is some democratic colleagues of mine in there who are committed to doing this again at some of them are openly saying it. so there's going to be no end to this. and i tell you what, if we don't get the republican majority back in the house, this election cycle this fall, we are in for a long, dark road for the country. i'm really concerned about it. >> tucker: they do that again and trump will be at 60%. thank you so much. >> thanks, appreciate it. >> tucker: a president in his remarks to today also took a moment to comment on a certain senator who stepped back from a career helping private equity work the american economy to explain how god would feel about impeachment. >> then you have some that use religion as a crutch. they never used it before. an article written today, never heard him use it before, but today, you know, it's one of those things. but you know, it's a failed

presidential candidate, so things can happen when you fail so badly running for president. >> tucker: that that was back in 2012, the man he was talking about ran for president. that man is a hero today in washington. you can't walk into a restaurant without people offering to pay for his meal. but eight years ago, the same people who are lauding him were attacking him as a sinister finance guy, which he was and always will be. >> this is in the first time romney's record has been called into question. >> he's really trying to use racial coding and access some really deep stereotypes about the angry black man. >> he is still using the term foreign, and i'm telling you this is happening every day, it is a dog whistle. >> mitt romney, who gleefully sends his money offshore to switzerland in the cayman islands claims he would never send jobs offshore. >> and that's a rich guy that plays outside the lines that i can't trust. >> tucker: it's kind of amazing, it was only eight years ago. if that was the modern era, we

had air travel and air conditioning, it was in the middle ages and he was -- you just heard it, he was a racist! using dog whistles and coded language to marginalized groups of people. he was really a bigot, he was a hater. but somehow in just eight years he became the sterling figure, this blameless hero. how did that happen? i don't know. but here's something that we feel about him now. >> to throw caution to the wind, simply because of an inner voice. in this case because of a higher calling. >> wasn't romney great? >> i love to the strength of his language. >> and decided to vote his conscience over his fear of consequence. that senator was meant romney. >> you know, he's going to sleep soundly. his children are going to look at him with pride. >> he made a solemn oath and he took that very seriously and that's a rare thing. >> a lot of the other 99 insist that faith is central to their

lives. they were not so burdened by the oath. >> tucker: author and columnist and very frequent guest -- not frequent enough, mark steyn joins us tonight. so you're watching all these people get denounced as racist and what's a pharmacist and basically shouted out of the american life. and you think how can he rehabilitate themselves? how can they live here when they find announced? and it turns out all you need to do is vote for conviction and all of that is erased, it's amazing. >> absolutely. last time around they denounced him for putting his dog on the roof and bribing the dog to canada. this time the dog can't get on the roof because chris matthews and chris cuomo are all on the roof of romney 'scars and drive us anywhere you like, we love you. and it is -- and one thing -- that was a pretty exhaustive category. the one thing you did mention is that harry reid, without any evidence whatsoever said romney

never paid his taxes, and none of these democrats and media who are now defending saint mitt as the greatest ever, the one who had the conversion and heard the voice of god bringing in his ears telling -- telling mitt to impeach and convict trump. none of those people defended him against harry reid. mitt is the reason we have trump. because he was called everything that trump was everything. binders full of women, doesn't pay his taxes, vampire capitalist who flies in your window at night and gives you cancer. everything they said about trump they set about mitt. the difference was, mitt never pushed back and in 2016, people decided -- 2015, actually, the republican base decided that the essential quality they were looking for was someone who didn't let himself get slapped around by candy crowley, as mitt

did in that debate. if mitt doesn't like trump, look in the mirror, you're the reason for trump. >> tucker: can i just ask you because i can't get past it. chris matthews and chris cuomo are on the roof of his station wagon bedding to be -- are they wearing dog collars? >> well, they were all wearing dog collars. it's the new clerical look among the democrats in the media. mother superior nancy pelosi and mitt romney. >> tucker: [laughs] this is a trick that we really need to try. all your sins -- can i just ask. look, i don't think you have to have the same opinions over eight years, my opinions have certainly changed a lot but if the only criterion you have for everything -- the only way you judge anyone is that person's position on the president of united states, your moral universe has shrunk to like pinprick size.

>> absolutely. and i think this is very much a beltway thing. in other words, they always say, you know, reelection is a referendum on the incumbent, but these guys have taken it to crazy levels. the base of the democrats actually wants people like bernie and elizabeth warren talking about open borders and universal health care at all the rest. in this obsession with this man was actually eating away their insides like some appalling case of tertiary syphilis, this is actually a beltway disease. it's not actually shared by the democrat base. so mitt romney can waste his time kissing up to chris matthews and giving chris matthews leg tingles he hasn't had since obama, but it doesn't actually mean anything to the democrats and the media out there in the country. >> tucker: it's been a long time since anyone has used the phrase tertiary syphilis on cable news and we are thankful to you for that.

>> i'm your go to guy for tertiary syphilis, tucker. an honor to be here. >> tucker: thank you. it's been three days, but the iowa caucuses are still an ongoing disaster. when will we have the final results? and will anybody care by the time they arrived? that's next. also, no evidence that men are failing badly in america. in fact, the numbers are shocking. no one mentions it ever, but we will and we have those numbers for you, stay tuned. ♪ president trump warned the drug companies. it's unacceptable that americans pay vastly more than people in other countries, for the exact same drugs. but they aren't listening. they've just raised the prices of over five hundred drugs. president trump supports a bipartisan plan, that would force drug companies to lower prices. but the senate won't act. tell senate leaders to stop drug company price gouging and lower drug prices now.

♪ >> tucker: well, you thought it was wrapped up by now, but it's not. the cast continues in iowa. shocking at this point. chief breaking news correspondent trace gallagher is tracking this as he has been since day one and joins us now. >> with 97% of the precincts now reporting in iowa, it could not get any closer between pete buttigieg and bernie sanders. if the two democratic residential candidates are attentive appointt a a part, so still no outright winners, but it's almost certain that elizabeth warren will come in third, joe biden fourth and amy klobuchar fifth. but after days of uncertainty, democratic national committee chairre tom perez is calling for the caucus results to be re-canvassed. quoting here. "in light of the problems that have emerged in the implementation of the delegate selection plan and in order to assure public confidence in the results, and calling on the iowe democratic party to immediately begin a re-can been." if that doesn't mean recounting the votes. instead, re-canvassed means to

hand check the worksheets and reporting forms to ensure they work electorally calculated. the iowa democratic party chair has not responded to the dnc, but did say the party would re-canvassed if any presidential campaigns requested. that's pretty much up in the air considering buttigieg declared victory monday night andnd sands declared victory today. watch. >> i got 6,000 moreor votes. and from where i come, when you get 6,000 more votes, that's generally regarded to be the winner. >> one sanders has 6,000 more votes he's referring to the lead after the first round of the caucuses on monday, not the end. the dnc estimates that sanders and buttigieg each now have ten delegates come a long way to go, tucker. spoonn trace gallagher, amazing. good to see you. so what does this all add up to? what is the state of the democratic race actually beneath the noise? for that we are opposed by our friend dana perino, obviously

hosts "the five." we are happy to have her. so dana, the take away i think for a lot of democratic voters on bernie's team is that it's being stolen from burning right now. but half this week as we move forwardmo into new hampshire and to the rest, where are we exactly in this race, can you tell? >> i just read a piece by -- posted late this afternoon when new york magazine. liberal guy who says basically the state of the democratic party is an abysmal mass. of course the burning people are going to say that it's rigged against them or being stolen from them, s they said that in 2016. it's one of the reasons that the democratic national committee made changes, to accommodate the burning people. and youam saw today, joe biden o came in fourth, which is visible for him and doesn't look too great in new hampshire, basically he started punching punching at bernie mayor pete today. he doesn't land a punch very well. he realized that the nice guy routine hasn't been working very

well, so they haven't been going at each other for so long that now it just looks like everybody is in the place where you are -- i think -- i think i can say there is a two-person race right now and it's between mayor pete and bernie sanders. speeone's or just to put a bow on the biden campaign, which not too bright, i never took seriously for even one day, but it always seemed to be like his main constituency was in washington, veterans, the clinton administration who weren't aware that their party had changed, didn't want to see it changed. are they reassessing their view of their own party at this point when their worldview has just been rejected pretty decisively? >> actually see that a little bit differently. i think a lot of people that ehave worked in the obama team, that they have been really quite critical of joe biden for quite a while, especially somebody like a david axelrod looking at this and saying what you guys doing? there's no money. what joe biden actually had -- really has come out strong base within the african-american community. in those voters. that's why he is always said i

don't need to worry about iowa andps new hampshire, because south carolina is my firewall. the thing is, that actually might not be true. because if he doesn't win iowa, new hampshire, nevada is a caucus state -- he's really struggling and i think people like joe biden. he's a nice guy, but i don't think that a lot of democrats right now can go the distance. speeone's about a minute think buttigieg bernie is the face-off, the critical contest or within the democratic party. >> i ity do. >> tucker: it's just very hard to believe that a guy couldn't get elected treasurer of indiana who's not even mayor of a relatively small city can be elected president but maybe in my imagination. >> we should go back to a cliff that you and i did in april of last year in which we talked about mayor pete and democrats like toer look to a new generation, a younger generation. they think about jfk, they think about obama.

somebody new, somebody fresh. he's got quite a distance to go for us. he hasn't won the nomination let alone thinking about how he would do against president trump, but i think that you might see some quick consolidation behind mayor pete if it looks like joe biden is not going to be able to do it and we haven't even talked about elizabeth warren. when you come in third, that's tough. >> tucker: very tough. dana perino, thank you for that. this is a genuinely interesting moment i think. the coronavirus continues to kill dozens of people a day in china. now it's even claimed that a physician who warned the public in the early days of the outbreak has died. dr. siegel has many new alarming development in this part of this disease, that's next. plus, men are coming apart of this country. it's not just bad for them, it's better for allf of us, for women and children, for the nation. it's never covered by anybody, but we are going to cover it because we think it's reallye important. got the numbers for you just ahead. ♪ - do you have a box of video tapes, film reels, or photos,

to 100,000 cases, because after all, tucker, if you have a respiratory infection or pneumonia, they have to come to you to figure out and test you to figure out what exactly it is and they don't have the test kits there. we have them there in the united states. they don't have thems. there. >> tucker: scary, truly. thanks for that update, i appreciate it. >> thanks, talker. >> tucker: if you listen toke democrats -- you know very well that america is hell on earth for women. >> the fact of the matter is that women's rights and women's health are under assault like we haven't seen in the last 50 years. >> women's access to refractive health care,e, which is under fl on attack in america today. >> we need more men to step up and be feminists in a time like this. stand withth women. stand with the women to end the absurdity of women making $0.79 compared to men. women deserve the whole damn

dollar, you're right. >> to repeal the high commitment so that we are leaving the planet earth and defending the global -- on women right now. >> we are sick of seeing photos of congressional meetings where everyone is a white guy except nancy. >> tucker: it's bad. it is just bad, and if you watch those comments, you know america is basically like saudi arabia or somalia, or of some other country democrats like us to have open borders with.ca but in fact none of that is true. we are still america and in this country it's not women who are moving backwards, in fact it's men. conclusively, from education to the job market, to imprisonment, two basic life expectancy. men are falling further and further behind women. in the long run that's not good news fore anyone. no matter how much you like margaret atwood. mark areas an economics professor at the university of michigan flint, he's taken a very close look at this question enjoins us tonight. thanks so much for coming on.ke >> thanks, talker. >> tucker: give us the overview, because based on what we are watching during thisnt

campaign, this is a country in which womenng are failing. is that t true? >> the narrative we are all the time is that women are falling behind and they face obstacles and challenges but if you look at the data, which i've looked that and compiled this list, a many different measures in many different outcomes, it's men who have fallen behind in terms of health, mental health, education, the job market, life expectancy, as you said. death on the jobs. so there are many ways in which men have really been falling behind and it starts very early on. more boys are held back in kindergarten. more boys are disciplined throughout high school. there's fewer men in college now, so men have really been falling behind -- >> tucker: wait a second, that's so far from what i hear from theo candidates and i'm wondering if you're making it up. getting it from -- these are right-wing numbers in f the cenr for hating f women or something, where these data from? because a these are all governmt sources, government data and for example, we hear about all the time about how women are behind in education and yet men have

been underrepresented in higher education since 1979 is when women became the majority gender in colleges for enrollment. they became the majority gender' for bachelor's degree and masters degrees in the early 19 of us '80s so it's actually men who have been underrepresented for almost 40 years. since 1982 when women started out earning men for bachelors degrees. they've earned a cumulative 13, almost 14 million degrees more than men. there's this gender degree gap in higher education, so that's all we hear about. the struggles women are facing, and yet women, even though they are majority gender higher education now for almost 40 years, they get all the scholarships. they get all the student awards. the female faculty will get awards that men don't, so there's this huge gender bias ig higher education as if we are back in the 1950s or 1960s when it's really men who have been underrepresented in higher education now for almost 40 years. h >> tucker: shows in the georgia market, women are now

the majority of employees in this country so what that's telling you is a flat-out lie not supported by evidence in any way. my question is, why are we reacting to this? why isn't there a white house blue ribbon commission on how to fix this, in the national conversation, why are we ignoring this? >> it's t really amazing that al of the attention is focused on maybe some of the challenges women are facing. i mean, obama created a white house counsel for women and girls. he wouldn't create one for men and boys. the girls get all of this help starting in third grade with the girls who code and all these after-school camps and clubs that they get to try to force them into tech and then to computer science. and yet menn and boys have been falling behind for d decades now and it just doesn't get the attention that it deserves, and i think we really have to have more of a national conversation to really have a balance in looking at the struggles that men face and looking at some of the struggles that women still face. and not having this hugely biased focus on just the

struggles that women and girls face while ignoring all of the problems thatn men face in terms of homelessness, addiction, suicide, you know, victims of homicide. death on the job. all of these problems. >> tucker:lt there are multiples of women's stats and every one of those categories. >> just amazing.it for every hundred women who commit suicide, there's 450 men. >> tucker: it is remarkable, you've done great work on this and i hope that our viewers will look up the research that you've done on this, because it's amazing, professor mark perry,of thank you. >> thank you, talker.te >> tucker: i appreciate it. >> all right. >> tucker: the suicide rate in minutes one half times fire -- higher. there's a men's health crisis i would say. we try to monitor the other cable news channel so you don't have to and you will not believe what they're saying today. the outrage! full force as always. we have details next. ♪ your tax provider?

tenth of a percent. now have you it 100 percent in and the numbers are identical. pete buttigieg still with 26.2% and bernie sanders 26.1%. so even though bernie sanders today called this a great victory and declared victory it looks like pete buttigieg will win the iowa caucuses. it still appears both will get 10 dells according to the democratic national committee you see there that warren and biden didn't budge. they are still 3 and 4. tucker. >> tucker: amazing. trace gallagher, thank you so much. >> you bet. >> tucker: weird how the mackenzie guy always wins in the end. this afternoon the president touched on pretty much everyone who played a role in launching and perpetuating the russia hoax and ukrainein impeachment. adam schiff, jim comey, a certain utah senator cnn was clearly distressed by the president's remarks. >> an unscripted, vindictive, at times profane, angry, rambling

response to his impeachment acquittal. t >> the tone, the vindictive nature of his going through clearly enemy's list. >> vindictive as you pointed out.ng full of revenge, mean-spirited, poisonous, it was spiteful. >> this was a very disturbing tab low for the country. it was dark because he has made clear that his mind is dark. this is somebody in deep psychological distress right now. [laughter] >> tucker: spend three years repeating a baseless conspiracy theory. stop the whole country cold to talk about russia. but when someone complains about it it's dark and disturbed. hilarious. we're out of time, unfortunately. we will'r be back tomorrow night 8:00 p.m. the show that is tonight and always the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and group think. oh. we have got a special edition of final exam by the way up on foxnews.com and on

oury facebook page. before we go, a quick word about our friendou glen greenawalt facing charges in brazil fighting. never cares who gets upset. happy to report he is not be charged. good news. sean hannity. >> sean: you know, the deep state story>> is even getting bigger. there is a whole new one developing. i will tell you about it privately. tucker, thank you. good show. >> tucker: thanks. >> sean: welcome to hannity tonight. it is clear you, the american people elected a winner. threehe years the russian collusion hoax. illegal fishing expedition and two years of mueller's hyper partisan witch-hunt. months of the schumer schiff sham show and now actualnt real acquittal exoneration, vindication, the president remains totally unfazed. in fact, is he winning like never before. his agenda is a massive success like we saw on tuesday night. look at this, a brand new gallup poll finding 90% of americans are satisfied with their personal life. i hope to one day make it
