tv   Tucker Carlson Tonight  FOX News  March 2, 2020 5:00pm-6:00pm PST

5:00 pm
that came in, lots of questions that were headed toward the way of mike bloomberg. tomorrow is a huge day and we will be back in new york for super tuesday. good night, everyone, have a great >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." a historic moment today. after much trial and error and a great deal of anxiety and frustrated her romping on cable news panels, the democratic establishment finally has been able to find a candidate's top bernie sanders before he can take their money. the sanders threat is imminent and profound. imaginal general chinese gordon you'll know how they feel. terrified. it's one thing if your country falls apart, if tenth graders can't read a 9-year-old are taking puberty blocking drugs
5:01 pm
and downtown l.a. looks like calcutta. americans are dying. democrats are fine with that. they can live with it. they do. they don't say a word. but if there is a real candidate from out there who might be serious about closing the loop holes in forcing private equity barons to pay the same tax rate you do, that cannot stand. completely unacceptable. morally wrong. alert the panel. we are going to war. tonight they have signed their warhorse, here they imagine will carry them for the victory against the wild haired infidel from vermont. this candidate is the youngest man in the democratic race, the man they believe has the confidence, intensity, intellect to repel the seething horde of sanders-ites. >> tomorrow superstar tuesday. i want to thank you.
5:02 pm
i am rushing ahead. 150 million people have been killed since 2007 when bernie voted to exempt the gun manufacturers from liability. it would put 720 million back -- million women back in the workforce. nobody should be in jail for a nonviolent crime. my name is joe biden and i'm a democratic candidate for the united states senate. play the radio. make sure you have the record player on at night. foupoor kids are just as brightd talented as white kids. we choose truth over facts. we hold these truths to be self-evident. all men and women created by -- you know the thing. >> tucker: that is the man. it is super thursday. running for the united states senate in memory of nearly half the country murdered by guns in
5:03 pm
the last few years. guided by the belief that other children as bright and talented as white kids not to mention clean and articulate. hope that he can put three quarters of a billion women back to work with they want to go or not. that's the kind of transformational candidate you're looking for, joe biden is your man. or if you're looking for someone to get you a second serving of jell-o, biden can do that. he's a renaissance man. he would tell you the renaissance was an awful long time ago, back during the carter administration. jimmy was a good guy, better than they said. how do you say this without being rude or mean? this whole thing is sad. worse, it's cruel. running joe biden for president is like making your dog wear a dress. it may make for an amusing instrument post but it's wrong. you can see the confusion and the dog's eyes. you can see the same thing and joe biden's eyes if you look closely. why am i here? what am i talking about? be if i make a loud noise about
5:04 pm
push-ups no one will notice. so far the only thing we've learned is there's no one around him to make them stop. there are only enablers. today pete buttigieg and amy klobuchar endorsed biden, sorted harry reid and beto o'rourke. party people doing the bidding of their corporate masters. they are pushing a defective product on consumers and they know it. they are selling long darts -- lawn darts. the biden campaign isn't about ideas or ideals. the democratic establishment only concern is institutional control. that's where all their power comes from. from holding together and running things. if the democratic coalition breaks down, they are buying -- by definition powerless. the real threat is the threat he poses to the party. joe biden is their last chance. that's where they are backing
5:05 pm
him. the only group sincerely cheering biden are the credit card companies. biden was their paid lackey in washington and they bribed him. they gave jobs to his son. in return he carried their legislation through congress dutifully for many, many years. untold americans, average shows, as joe himself likes to say were crushed by credit card debt. the average card interest rate is 21%. 21% interest in a time when the fed is giving banks billions of dollars nearly for free. that's how low interest rates are for them but you are paying 21%. this is a disaster. how bad is it? ask yourself, how many people do you know personally who had been hospitalized for coronavirus, something we are worried about and justly. maybe none. ask yourself how many people you know personally who's lots of been diminished or destroyed by credit card debt? yeah. maybe it's happened to you. probably has. it's happened to so many people.
5:06 pm
joe biden is one of the decision-makers who made that possible. it's not an overstatement but they don't care. they are telling of the good of the country you've got to vote for joe biden. keep in mind they don't even believe it as they say it. they don't even like biden. by this point they will say anything because they have to. richard goodstein is a lawyer and former advisor to bill and hillary clinton he joins us tonight. i've got to say, richard, this is sincere. they are not many -- i have lived in washington a long time. i've been a training about my judgments, try not to be to judge you. but being a pain shell, having credit card companies employers on when they are charging people .1% interest in the country where the fed is giving free money to banks, how is it defen? >> joe biden represented a state these card companies happen to be headquartered in. not uncommon for politicians to go to bat for their constituents. but there's a reason say in the last fox news national poll, the
5:07 pm
joe biden was running 50-41 over donald trump. that's because -- >> tucker: is that okay with you? is that okay with you? i guess it's okay to sell fortified wine to winos but if you are representing md 2020 or thunderbird, are you proud of that? you're adding to the subtotal of human misery. i can't think of anyone that adds more misery than credit card companies. are you defending it? >> if you had to rank order the reasons the middle-class are not doing all that well, let's look at the last tax cut which went mainly to the rich. didn't really do all that much for the middle class who are struggling to pay for the combination of education and health care. you know the litany. credit card debt is a problem for some people but it's not particularly high on the list. if you had a beef with the democrats -- >> tucker: it's not particularly high on the list? i think it's very high on the list. >> education, housing,
5:08 pm
health care for the three things making people struggle. >> tucker: this is one of the few shows that talks about those things. i think they are terrible. sincerely i understand you don't want bernie dube president. i don't either. i get it. his biden, he gives no sense he's prepared for this study separate, looking forward to super thursday. i'm not being mean. i know the guy. i don't hate a merry thing but he doesn't see prepare for this. do you think he is? >> the person is going to be running against if he's the nominee has said that we need -- people need to sacrifice for the furniture of their children. reading off teleprompter. someone reading off a teleprompter said the revolutionary war attacked airports. again, that's who is going to be running against. both of these guys flawless orators? no. >> tucker: i make mistakes all the time but let me ask you i'm sincere. trump says things people disagree with her hate. do you have the sounds that trump is fading? i don't get that sense.
5:09 pm
i get the sense from biden that he's fading. what's he going to see on super thursday? >> remember the whole thing that biden said. it didn't sound great. know our is calling tim cook tim apple. >> tucker: that was kind of funny. everybody screws up. look at this tape. he will start a sentence and then reach this mental cul-de-sac and spins in circles. >> will not surprise you to know that on competing networks they show a tape much longer of the idiotic things trump said that it equally silly, stupid, call yoit what you will. >> tucker: i know a lot of people who dislike trump. i've never heard anyone say i don't think he's all there. i talked a lot of democrats and they like biden. nothing against him personally but they all say the same thing they don't think is up for but
5:10 pm
that's not a concern for you. >> i'm saying i would invite your audience to go the phrase trump teleprompter mistakes. that's reading off a teleprompter. that's not even the idea of coming up with things again like an american -- >> tucker: it sounds like maybe you're a little concerned. you don't think -- you think is mental acuity is 100%. okay. i'm not very partisan. it doesn't look like he's doing well. >> i think joe biden's been saying silly things for decades. it's now in the spotlight. so people are going to pick on it, and if you want to go gaffe for gath, this is a fair fight. >> tucker: okay. we'll see. good luck, good luck. joe biden is your guy. [laughs] >> i feel better about it than i did a week ago then we talked about the absence of coalescing. >> tucker: aba can protect the interest loopholes. good luck. thank you so much. over the next few weeks the
5:11 pm
attentional course beyond bernie sanders and joe biden may be michael bloomberg so want to pause and remember the candidates we lost over the weekend. not permanently. for all of them, their failure to enact animation's reason for all of us to feel a little bit better about ourselves. we are not as dumb as we thought we were. tom steyer prove that because you're a billionaire doesn't mean you're in oligarch. he spent more than $100 million of his own money and in the end, and embarrassing dance on stage and then got nothing. his tad presidential run out to be encouraging to every person in america particularly the slower among us. that guy can make a billion dollars. you can too. pete buttigieg's defeat that proves that while americans might be willing to vote for anyone, they are pretty open minded they want their presidents to be human. gravy robots with biographies grafted in a silicon valley lab are going to have to wait until the 22nd century to have a chance. here is buttigieg minutes ago backing biden. >> it's an honor to be here with
5:12 pm
vice president biden. when i ran for president, we made it clear that the whole idea was rallying the country together to defeat donald trump and to win the values that we share. that was always a goal that was much bigger than me becoming president. it's in the name of that very same goals that i'm delighted to endorse and support joe biden. >> tucker: i think barack obama gave that exact same speech. you can check it. amy klobuchar dropped out as well. her defeatist good news for anyone who cares about proper comb hygiene. the democratic race may be smaller tonight but it's not more amicable. why? elizabeth warren is still running and now she's openly campaigning for a divisive brokered convention next july which would be really like christmas day for the rest of us. warren's only reason for staying in the race right now is to sabotage bernie sanders. many democrats are happy to play along.
5:13 pm
the weird neuroses and anxieties that just strangers of the democratic coalition of coming to the surface. it's like pulling up a rock and all the things crawl away or try to. we are learning about what they really care about. "the boston globe" ran a piece arguing and this is for real that it was "disrespectful for bernie sanders to try to win the massachusetts primary" since it would be a "major humiliation for elizabeth warren." that's really identity politics taken to its end point. if you are too extreme for the donor class, than it is sexist or try to win and election. victor davis hanson, one of the wisest people we know, senior fellow at the hoover institution and joins us. professor, you look at this and what do you make of it? >> this latest dropout group of klobuchar and buttigieg, the same thing as the first round of dropouts with kamala harris and cory booker. how to sum it up is after a year
5:14 pm
of all this woke newness and diversity, what do we end up with? we end up with three old white guys that are 77 and 78 with a marxist, neo-marxist as the presuming of leader and they all have a history of insensitive remarks about women or things they've written. it's the complete antithesis of the premise of the democratic party. we don't have anybody who is a charismatic character other than bernie sanders and his criticisms are sometimes legitimate of american society but it's frightening. then they have us outside billionaire coming in to save everybody in bernie sanders -- from bernie sanders on the premise that biden was fading but biden is not quite dead yet. his candidacy. i mean it metaphorically. bloomberg's going to be blamed for dividing the modern vote and handing the nomination to sanders. and then this was supposed to be the transparent new reformist party and they are going to go back to an old 1950s 1940s
5:15 pm
brokered convention with guys wm horsetrading. jobs and employment and entitlements to get delegates. it's completely opposite to the rhetoric of the whole progressive movement. >> tucker: they clearly don't care about the things they care about. if you can sum up crisply what they do care about, what do you think that is. >> what they do care about is they want to control the house, they want to win back the senate and they want supreme court picks because they are interested -- they are not interested necessarily in diversity or people of color being the new face of the democratic party or any of that. they are interested in power. they think they can get it with bernie sanders and they are absolutely right. he will be a disaster. this is the worst field we've seen since walter mondale lost in a landslide to ronald reagan. if they go the burning route, they are going to lose big and they are desperate. they are down to the 11th hour. the only candidates they have
5:16 pm
they think they can save the house and maybe win back the senate are bloomberg and biden and they are pathetic candidat candidates. >> tucker: [laughs] >> it's kind of a tragedy to watch this thing unfold. it really is. >> tucker: there is pleasure in it too, professor. exactly. it's about power. great to see you. think is much for that as alwa always. >> thank you. >> tucker: chris matthews of msnbc course a longtime fixture on cable news, 30 years, shocked viewers today and quit his job at the beginning of a show on the air. cheap breaking news correspondent trace gallagher has more. >> at the top of the show after the first break, matthews was gone. here's what he said right out of the gate. watch. >> let me start with my headline tonight. i am retiring. this is the last hardball on msnbc and obviously this isn't for lack of interest in politics. as you can tell i loved every minute of my 20 years as host of "hardball." >> the writing has been on the wall for several days.
5:17 pm
matthews was not part of the network south carolina governor this weekend and he's been under pressure to resign for a litany of controversial comments like comparing bernie sanders victory in nevada to the nazi defeat of the french in world war ii for which he later apologized. accusations of sexist comments may have been the final straw. listen to what else matthew sai. >> complements on a woman's appearance that some men, including me, one of wants and quickly thought were okay were . not then and certainly not today and for making such comments in the past, i'm sorry. stick a fork contest, matthews was accused of asking appropriate questions during a recent interview with elizabeth warren and then freelance journalist laura present said he made inappropriate contest trickle comments to her on a few occasions. with all that, 20 years of hosting "hardball" over." tucker. >> tucker: amazing story, trace gallagher. thanks so much. there without you see that happen.
5:18 pm
i've done chris matthews -- known chris matthews very well e 1995 since i started appearing a show regularly. groveling in the end couldn't save him. it never does. i would say his rules and of course was being old and unfashionable. that's why they're making them leave. what's interesting is this is nbc news. so as long as we are making people leave for moral crimes, you've got water wise joy reid still in the air? who lied and got the fbi implicated in her lie. noah oppenheim, the body of buddy of harvey weinstein. and a or joe scarborough still works there? really? amazing. it would be worth asking what exactly is the standard we are applying here? that forced chris matthews, not a fan, just being honest, then forced chris matthews off the air? we should know more about this and we are going to try to find out. the stock market rally today after last week's bloodbath. the coronavirus remains an imminent threat to this country. we have the latest numbers on
5:19 pm
the disease's death toll next. hillary clinton has been ordered to testify under oath about her emails. we are following that story. we have details. then the president speaking in charlotte, north carolina, indefatigable. watch it for breaking news. >> winning, winning, winning awesome internet.

[ whines ] can your internet do that? xfinity xfi can because it's... ...simple, easy, awesome. [ barking ] >> tucker: this is a fox news alert. the coronavirus epidemic continues to claim more victims in this country. three people in washington state died over the weekend. this afternoon, three more deaths in that state were
5:24 pm
announced, that brings the total death toll to six. around the world, cases continue to surge. in italy that number of coronavirus cases surged 50% in a single day. that was yesterday, sunday. there are now over 2,000 confirmed cases of the chinese virus there and there have been 50 to death so far. south korea continues to add more than 500 cases a day. dr. marc siegel has been on this story with us from the very start. he joins us tonight for an update. doctor, thank you so much for coming on. give us your assessment as of right now, where are we in the spread of the disease? >> tucker, it is starting to spread more in the united states and communities here, starting to see more cases. imagine six deaths. in south korea which has a very good health care system, they are testing a lot of people. they've got 33,000 negatives. many want to go. with her 4,000 cases now. i think i would say that in all my years of studying contagions, i've never seen this much fear and hysteria. i've never seen this contagious a virus and i've never seen such
5:25 pm
a political football where despite such a great public health response, rising to the occasion at least here in the united states, you sent me tenant nebraska. i've never seen a better group than the national quarantine center. professional, unafraid, in their everyday with patients. risking their own safety perhaps. outfitting properly, teaching the rest of the country, starting an antiviral drug and yet there's been a huge outcry and divisiveness going on criticizing the president, his task force, really great people with expertise in virology. i am absolutely shocked at this. i think of your quotient is way too high and so is the political divisiveness. it's a serious virus. >> tucker: do we have any better sense of how dangerous it is? and to whom? >> absolutely. we are getting there. in nebraska they told me that the people that could most get sick, get very high fevers, higher than the flu. people who are elderly are most at risk. people with chronic conditions,
5:26 pm
people with underlying health issues are at risk. males, people close to 80 years old, all these people are more at risk. we are seeing that. that's where the debts are occurring. that's what hospitalizations are occurring and that's where lena monee is occurring. the most concerning here is the weight spreading. it's spreading wildly and there is a systemati a systematic spr. cases in washington state, we think it's can't got rampant because of the cases that eluded testing. i spoke to nebraska and they said they are test kits they can tell in six hours if you have the virus are not. we need that kind of testing throughout the united states. >> tucker: yes, that's right. we will see what we find when we get it. doctor, thank you so much for that. speak we will see thousands more cases absolutely. >> tucker: for sure. thank you. in iran, the official death toll from coronavirus it's at 66 the
5:27 pm
most people think the true numbers are higher than that. the disease has proven particularly bad there. here's one reason why possibly. video from the city of the epicenter of the outbreak, she and muslim worshipers demonstrating their devotion byf a famous islamic saint. obviously a problem in the middle of an epidemic. saying that there may have been a virus outbreak building for weeks. thank you for coming on. why do you think your state -- the majority of deaths in our nation have been in your state. why do you think it's been so bad there? >> it's a little bit unclear. i think part of it has to do with we are a help for travel particular from asia. that's probably behind some of it. but i think also we've got a potential problem growing with our homelessness crisis. i think when we hear about how easily the coronavirus will spread, we know specifically groups of people who can't do
5:28 pm
the hand sanitizer, taking showers, washing your hands multiple times a day, it's the homelessness issue. so you've got two groups of people who potentially could make this a little bit worse. number one, the homeless individuals who are sort of living deep out under freeway underpasses, uphills and brush that you don't necessarily see. they might be suffering a no one's going to know that they need help. and then eve got a group of homeless individuals who may be are getting sick but aren't showing any symptoms. they are jumping on buses because they can right for free. they are going to public restrooms. they are going into public libraries. there's a possibility that they are spreading it at a higher than normal rate because they are not in the system. because they're not being quarantine, because they're not being charged with any regularity and i think that's a problem. >> tucker: i'm not marie curie but you're saying that if you got thousands of people on the sidewalk that compose a public health risk? >> i'm not a doctor but someone
5:29 pm
tells me that -- something tells me that poses an issue. at the same time i'm addressing these issues, we are talking about it, you have the seattle city council making it harder to clean up encampments, to get people in the system and get people into shelter. they think it lacks compassion. if you spend ten seconds on twitter, i'm getting called a fascist because i think we should be putting people in shelters and getting them quarantined if they are sick. if they are not sick, doesn't matter. i want to get them actual help and i want to get them access to running water. >> tucker: in a lot of places, your city, sadly, the most people have the worst power. ongoing reports from seattle. coronavirus remains a major concern but the stock market seems more optimistic. the market was expected to form all today but it didn't happen.
5:30 pm
they rallied. the dow rose almost 1300 points, the sigel biggest day points gated history of the industrial average. it's reassuring years but coronavirus epidemic is far from over. in fact it's barely begun. hopefully our leaders use this as a re-encouragement to remain vigilant and aggressive in fighting the virus instead of seeing it as an excuse to ignore. democratic presidential race has serious implications for this country but it's all frank the kind of amusing. mark steyn finds its own he joins us after the break. proven ingredients that fuel 5 indicators of brain performance. memory, focus, accuracy, learning, and concentration. try neuriva for 30 days and see the difference.

5:34 pm
5:35 pm
>> tucker: joe biden has been racking up some endorsements. the question is will he remember their names. biden had a tough time with this host just yesterday actually. watch. >> mr. vice president, thank you. thanks for your time. please come back in less than 13 years, sir. >> all right, jack. thank you very much. >> all right. it's crisp it anyway. >> i just did chris. no, no. i just did chuck. i tell you what, man. these are back-to-back. anyway. i don't know how you do it early in the morning too. >> tucker: yep, he just did chuck and he's feeling bewildered. author and columnist mark steyn joins us. thank you for coming on. >> thank you, martha. always a pleasure. i believe we have breaking news. he's just been endorsed by mateo
5:36 pm
tse-tung. i don't believe the chalk business with chris wallace. we just did it here and that's what we do whenever we make jokes about it. i wouldn't be surprised if this isn't actually just putting it on his ahead fake bernie and bloomberg into not taking them seriously. to make a semiserious point about this, all the most -- all the party elders, if you are the mind of a politician, the last thing you want as a politician with the mind of his own. you just want one who does what you tell them to do. so for the minders, a candidate who is completely lost his mind is actually the perfect candidate. the more he does this, the more he says hey, thanks a lot, chuck, the more he actually
5:37 pm
demonstrates to the minders in the party that he's the perfect empty vessel for their various machinations, expect a lot more of this. expect a lot more of this. >> tucker: that's exactly right. i have to ask you about bernie sanders. he's promising a $16 trillion green new deal because he care so deeply about climate. it's an existential crisis. he doesn't actually care about the environment and so he flies private constantly. on saturday he tried to board the wrong gulfstream at logan airport. and the owner of the plane took this picture of bernie sanders waving him off and what does it tell you the bernie sanders wanders around trying to get on gulfstream so he imagines there his. >> i initially sympathized. i thought one of the reasons he's so hunched was from having to bend down to get into the little pathetic usair northwest continental twa puddle jumper to
5:38 pm
burlington. but i was told before he came on the air that in fact he says he's been doing this, he has to do this because he running for president. in fact he was doing it when he was just a vermont congressman. he would actually take planes from manchester, new hampshire, to burlington, vermont, which is ridiculous. it's like a couple hours in the car. you can stick it on cruise control. the road is empty. you can read the communist manifesto all the way home. something about this is actually significant. he is classic nomenclature. this green new deal is ridiculous. as we've been talking about, the public transit, putting people in big cities, smaller combinations, that's great if you want to catch the coronavirus. meanwhile he's not coming into contact with humanity because he's flying private from dead most junction, maine, to dead beaver junction, vermont. this is ridiculous.
5:39 pm
>> tucker: what a hypocrite he is. a hypocrite, a liar. nobody had a more humiliating we can then tom steyer did. we want to warn our viewers this video is disturbing so take the kids out of the room. ♪ >> tucker: we need a new class of billionaires, don't we? >> yeah, he's got it all wrong. he's busting a move. he's busting his sacroiliac. it's ridiculous. that rapper is called juvenile. that's why tom steyer bombed out. this is the most geriatric election, this democratic primary, in the history of the
5:40 pm
free world. he should have been up there with geriatric outcome of the only surviving nonagenarian rapper who celebrated 50 years in showbiz because of all him with his contemporaries were killed bac back to me '90s. geriatric rapper, he should be -- tom steyer if he had done the hokey pokey with bernie and biden, he would still be in the game. he's got no clue how to play this thing. this is not a movement of youth. this is the geezer apocalypse. being on stage with rappers called juvenile is the last thing he should have done. >> tucker: exactly. because like the party itself, they are just exhausted. they are out of ideas and they are down to 78-year-old recycling. mark steyn, great to see you. thank you. >> thanks a lot, martha, sean, whatever. >> tucker: [laughs] whatever, man. thank you. hillary clinton is finally been ordered to give sworn testimony

[ sigh ] not gonna happen. my name is ken. how may i help you? hi, i'm calling about kohler's walk-in bath. excellent! happy to help. huh? hold one moment please... [ finger snaps ] hmm. the kohler walk-in bath features an extra-wide opening and a low step-in at three inches, which is 25 to 60% lower than some leading competitors. the bath fills and drains quickly, while the heated seat soothes your back, neck and shoulders. kohler is an expert in bathing, so you can count on a deep soaking experience. are you seeing this? the kohler walk-in bath comes with fully adjustable hydrotherapy jets and our exclusive bubblemassage.

everything is installed in as little as a day by a kohler-certified installer. and it's made by kohler- america's leading plumbing brand. we need this bath. yes. yes you do. a kohler walk-in bath provides independence with peace of mind. >> tucker: a federal judge has ordered hillary clinton to set for a deposition about her private email server. the story still going. chief breaking news correspondent trace gallagher is on it. >> it's big because hillary clinton has never had to submit to five questions under oath about her email use. previously she's only given a written statement and has argued a deposition is unnecessary because she already answered the questions. but d.c. district judge royce lambert says that's exactly the point. calling her answer is incomplete, unhelpful, and
5:46 pm
cursory at best. going on to say "as expensive as the existing record is, it is not sufficiently explain secretary clinton's state of mind when she decided it would be in acceptable practice to set up and use a private server to conduct state department business." this is all in connection to a freedom of information request filed almost six years ago by the conservative watchdog group judicial watch who initially wanted emails dealing with the 2020 attack in benghazi. but if this deposition of clinton goes forward, the judge is limiting the scope so benghazi won't be a topic. instead, he will focus on whether secretary clinton used a private server to intentionally get around the freedom of information act. judge lambert, also allowing judicial watch to depose former clinton chief of staff cheryl mills and the i.t. specialist involved in deleting the emails. clinton and her team will no doubt fight to stop this deposition from ever happening. tucker.

>> tucker: it could be interesting. trace gallagher, thanks so much. congressman devin nunes represents california of course. he is on the intel committee on the house. thank you for coming on. what do you make of this? >> i think it's frustrating. the american people are sick and tired of the clinton white house -- or hillary clinton. she didn't get prosecuted even though she have those classified emails on her server. and lo, i give kudos to judicial watch. they have been tough. they've stayed on this. that's what we have to do in this town. these people just don't lie down. they don't go away. you have to fight them every single step of the way. it's what you have to do. six years, the way i understand it, i just saw tom fitton here in the fox studio and he said that she should be deposed in about 75 days. within 75 days. this has been going on since 2012. it's been a while. >> tucker: interesting. okay, thank you for that. you found your own suit against
5:48 pm
"the washington post," a daily newspaper now owned by the world's richest man is a kind of vanity publication. why are you suing them, on what grounds? >> it's funny you say that. it is the world's richest man. i called his glamour project. he wants to promote his company here in the nation's capital. i get that. but it's not okay to slander and defame me. if you may remember when the russia hoax was resurrected again just a couple weeks ago before he went into the coronavirus issue, we were talking about russia, russia, russia again. they brought me into this. they claimed that i went to the white house, that i talk to the president, that i got the acting director of the national intelligence fired. well, there's a problem with the story, tucker. i never spoke to the president. i never spoke to the president about maguire. the day they claim that i supposedly went to the white house i was in tulsa, oklahoma. so we filed today in federal court.
5:49 pm
my guess is is that jeff bezos who has billions, he will hire an army of lawyers and his people won't be held accountable. and we have to as republicans start to fight back against this fake news. you just can't take something and make it up out of whole cloth. when i was in another state for god sake. i never talked to the president. it's easy to prove. what will happen i promise you is they will hide. they will hide from the federal judge and the judge will have to get him to come in. >> tucker: this is a broader more philosophical question but i think it's important. why do the rest of us play along and pretending that "the washington post" is a newspaper. it's a news organization. they are covering your news. when it's one man's propaganda operation. why don't we just say that? >> i do. i don't talk to "the washington post" and i advise my colleagues not to talk to "the washington post." i think one of the things and this is in my lawsuit is that
5:50 pm
taking them to task, the reporter who wrote this is a true russia hoaxer and you showed it on your show a few months ago that they are used to, continually talked about, no fisa abuse, the dossier was used to get a fisa warrant. they were wrong. they never corrected that. part of what you're seeing as i've continued to hold these media companies accountable and they don't like it. so they think it's funny to throw me into their fake news stories and am not going to stand for it. i urge everybody. i created defendusa.com so if you are out there and you believe we should be fighting, you can go there and join the fight. >> tucker: the world switches man owns the local newspaper in the world's most powerful city but nobody thinks that's a problem? nobody thinks that's undue concentration of power? nobody thinks that maybe jeff bezos has an agenda which
5:51 pm
he so obviously does. it's a little bit weird that we don't say that out loud but i agree with you. it's garbage. they are liars. >> that's exactly what i say in federal court. >> tucker: you should. it's garbage. thank you so much. >> thank you for the time. >> tucker: democrats are counting on america's growing hispanic population to make the country permanently democratic. the lieutenant of texas says they can be won over away from the left. it's not that complicated. it's not nothing to do with immigration. we will explain after the break.

>> tucker: america's hispanic population is rapidly growing and for democrats, this growth is key to their plans to win the presidency forever. if hispanic voters, new voters can turn texas and florida and arizona blue, than that say. this plan will only work if hispanic voters continue to vote democrat. and they don't necessarily need to keep voting democrat. there are reasons to think that could change. dan patrick is lieutenant governor of texas and he says he's got a plan to change that. it has nothing to do with immigration. dan patrick joins us tonight. lieutenant governor, thank you so much for coming on. you've got a really interesting idea on this. the convention and i will set the stage and let you go but the
5:57 pm
conventional view in washington is if you want to when hispanic voters you have to liberalize i. no other way. the only issue they care about. every hispanic is for open borders. republicans at the rnc believe it. what's your idea? >> first of all, tucker, but nearly 50% along with drake avenue and in 2014 we ran for governor and lieutenant governor and we ran independently. got about 50% of the hispanic vote. the reason is we talked to hispanics about our policies and this is my president trump will do so well. hispanic voters, the majority are pro-life. they are pro-family. they are pro-border security. they are pro-second amendment. their entrepreneurs, hard workers, they want small government and they want to keep more of their money. they don't want to give it to the government. so you and i kind of talked a little bit before and i said i can go into a room of 100 democrat hispanic voters who've always voted democrat and i can lay out my pro-life, pro-family, pro-second amendment, pro-school
5:58 pm
opportunity, economic opportunity policy and when i walk out the door, i will walk out with 25 or 30 votes but if a democrat goes into a room of 100 lifetime republican hispanic voters and they say we are for abortion. we are for higher taxes. want to take your guns. we want open borders, they won't walk out with one. in fact, tucker, one day we'll have a hispanic president. probably not the distant future. man or woman. it will be a republican. it won't be a democrat. the reason is that democrats will never let a pro-life, pro-second amendment, pro-secure border, pro-charter school. go down the list. this is what hispanics in this country believe in. that's why the president will do better than any of the republican has done before. this is why we will win texas easily for the president. this is why he will win more electoral votes than he did before. because its policies. it's about values, tucker. it's about you vote for someone and you vote for someone who shares your values. the democrats do not share the values of the majority of
5:59 pm
hispanic voters in this country. >> tucker: right, but they play the race card. anglos hate you. vote for us. it's race. it's disgusting, the most divisive and untrue. but hispanic voters, speaking broadly, care about family which i think all voters do. why aren't republican candidates making that page directly? we are going to help your family. they don't do that. why? >> you know, they just don't work at it hard enough and they need to. real quick, a few years ago i debated julian castro on univision in spanish and at one point in the debate he was hammering me about the dream as my said you know, julian, you are pro-choice, right. he said everyone knows that. i said no, you're pro-choice. your for abortion, right and he said everyone knows that nice and here's the difference between you and me. if a young woman is pregnant crosses the border illegally, i wish she wouldn't, but if she did i would do everything i could to save a life of that baby and you will not. that was the end of the debate. we have to go to hispanics. we have to talk about our
6:00 pm
policies. that's how we win. and we can't step away from the big social issues that we care about. thank you, tucker. >> tucker: that's right. so often republicans are cowards on that. great to see you. thank you. we were out of time here will be back tomorrow. 8:00 p.m. sean hannity takes over now. >> thank you. welcome to "hannity." fox news alert. massive and great news. the dow jones industrial average jumped a whopping 1,290 points and as the dow, s&p, and the nasdaq also record high, highest single day point gains in american history. after a week of corona related panic, lies, propaganda, misinformation, thankfully the market is roaring back in a big way. we have a full report coming up on the program tonight but first in 246 days, it's going to go like that, you are the ultimate jury. you will have a chance to once
