i invite you to join me on stops in dallas and nashville. follow me on instagram or facebook, get all of the details on where we will be. thank you for joining us tonight, everybody. great to be with you. have a great night. ♪ >> tucker: good evening, and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." things are moving fast in american politics, but see if you can remember back five months to last fall. at the time, elizabeth warren of massachusetts was the most democratic nominee. she had big leads in both iowa and new hampshire. she had overtaken establishment, designated front-runner joe biden the national polling. the race last fall was warren's to lose. and lose it, she did, spectacularly. warren didn't win a single state. in fact, she never took second. she got creamed in massachusetts, where she lives. today, finally, warren dropped out, having succeeded only in humiliating herself. as the babylon be loo put it, wn
5:01 pm
returns to the tribe in shame after failing. so what happened to elizabeth warren? is an interesting story, actually, filled with valuable lessons for political candidates as well as the rest of us. but warren was in no mood for learning today. she artie knew the answer, she also often does come at it turned out to be the same answer she has it offered in response to virtually every question she has been asked over the last six months. it was sexism, that is why she lost. democratic voters, the majority of whom are female, hate women, warren explained. they may have nominated a woman in the last presidential race, but i was probably an act of sexism. that is how sexist they are. super-duper sexist. >> if you say yeah, there was sexism in this race, everyone says. and if you say no, there was no sexism, about a bazillion women say, what planet do you live on?
5:02 pm
i promise i will have a lot more to say on that subject. >> tucker: that's a promise, she said. in other words, there will be many more lectures on sexism to come from professor warren. buy your tickets now, the whole is certain to be packed. in the front row, you will see your favorite cable news commentators who are themselves lifelong warriors against sexism. yes, it is true these are the very same people who have spent months now acting as publicist for michael bloomberg and now joe biden, both of whom are demonstrably male. but in their hearts, our friends on tv were always rooting for the woman. that is the kind of people they are. highly unsexist people. >> our country is still very uncomfortable women in power. men come into a race with the expectation they are qualified, women have to prove themselves. a woman takes a hit, particularly a male candidate, she takes a hit in her likability. >> senator warren was hammered on her medicare for all plan. her tax plan, anyway none of the
5:03 pm
men wearing the entire last year. to me, that was a sexist double standard. >> she would have done much better if she were a man. i would like more men to be vocal about the fact that they want to see women in positions of leadership. >> tucker: yah, sexism. you can see why elizabeth warren is so upset tonight. to be fair, bernie sanders did warn her more than a year ago that a woman couldn't win. he didn't want her to get hurt. but she just wouldn't listen. just kidding, that never happened. warren made it up. or maybe she believed it happened, which is worse. warren has convinced himself of a lot of strange things recently. its been poignant to watch it happen. warren is no beto o'rourke, she isn't doing pong hits on her skateboard after lunch. she is a legitimately smart person, without question the smartest candidate in the democratic field. she is also tough as hell, and fake indian aside
5:04 pm
, she wrote a book about how the entry of women in the workforce. it was interesting, and well-researched, and above all, it was serious. warren wrote about a real problem, one that affects most americans, and then thought deeply about how to solve it. the book was impressive. it could have been the basis of a populist presidential campaign that would've forced much needed national conversations about these issues, and in the end, might have won. but none of that ever happened. warren got derailed. more precisely, she became infected with a virulent strain of identity politics. by the end, like tertiary syphilis, it drove her insane. one day, warren was talking about raising wages and protecting american workers, and the next, ranting about strange forms of racism no one had heard of and attacking the country she once sought to improve. elizabeth warren went intersectional, and it killed her. here are some of the first symptoms.
5:05 pm
>> we live in a country now where the president is advancing environmental racism, economic racism, criminal justice racism, health care racism. >> tucker: so raise your hand if you've ever heard of health care racism? raised both hands if you think it is one of this country's top 500 problems. elizabeth warren thought it was. then she decided it was important -- in fact, our moral obligation -- to invite the rest of the impoverished world to america to share our job market in health care system. how exactly would that help american workers? warren no longer cared. she was to woke to worry about actual people. she clearly needed in patient care. you watch her speech is hoping men with netsuite spring from the shadows to carry her off to a secure facility to give her some rest. it seemed to reach its peak in january when warren asked out of nowhere that she would ask transgender children to pick her cam that members.
5:06 pm
>> i'm going to have a secretary of education that a young trans person interviews on my behalf, and only if this person believes that our secretary or secretary of education nominee is someone who is committed to creating a welcoming environment, a safe environment, and a full educational curriculum for everyone, that person be advanced to secretary of education. >> tucker: so who is this young trans person who gets to staff the federal government? no one in the news media even asked, because it turns out, warren wasn't the only one who had gone insane. all of this seemed perfectly normal to cnn. but it wasn't normal. it was shockingly crazy, almost hilariously crazy. but warren was not amused. most of the time, she appeared to be fluidly enraged, like she might lunge forward and fight
5:07 pm
someone. for reasons that were never really clear, warren really hated bernie sanders, the elderly ex-mayor from vermont, that one point, warren claimed sanders was, in fact, a dangerous sexist. but nobody believed her, it was just too impossible, whatever else she is. so she turned her wrath on michael bloomberg, a far richer target. >> i would like to talk about who we are running against coleman a billionaire who calls women that broad's and horse lesbians. i know, i'm not talking about donald trump, i'm talking about mayor bloomberg. democrats are not going to win if we have a nominee who has a history of hiding his tax returns, of harassing women, and supporting racist policies. democrats take a huge risk if we substitute one arrogant billionaire for another. >> tucker: got to give her credit, she can deliver a line. but by this stage in the campaign, no one outside cable news sets and college campuses
5:08 pm
was listening. elizabeth warren kept talking, but nobody cared. why? because it turns out most people, even democrats, aren't that interested in intersectional politics. they don't how to pronounce the word mati latinx. it's stupid and weird and frightening. it has precisely zero relevance to their lives. they want to hear politicians talk about making schools better or lowering health insurance premiums, think they actually think about it home. they don't want to hear some middle aged lady drone on an extended guilt trip. because in the end, it is really all about her. identity politics is always just a form of narcissism. that is not appealing to anybody. you can't get elected doing it. elizabeth warren just proved that conclusively. let's hope everyone else in politics learn that lesson. mark steyn is an author, columnist, and guest host on this program. we are proud to say he joins us tonight. so mark steyn, she got infected by the woke virus, and it destroyed her campaign. are other people going to take
5:09 pm
notice that this stuff doesn't work, do you think? >> i don't think they will. though that is actually what happened. i said some months ago on this show that she was actually doing well, she was in the lead, because her entire biography was a lie, so she turned on matt, and as a result, was just running on policy, in a rather effective way. and even the stuff matters, or it doesn't. so the secretary of education is either something of consequence, or it isn't. if it is, you don't say i'm going to have a 9-year-old transgender exercise veto on my pick for secretary of education. why not have a 9-year-old transgender flight air force one, in that case? why not go all-in on that nonsense? and the fact is that the minute she went down that path, the media cheered her on. they loved, for example, that attack on bernie. particularly the bit where the end of the debate, she went up to him and said "you just called
5:10 pm
me a liar on national," and the grumpy old to look just said "let's not talk about that now." everyone thought she won that round, and in fact, if you talked to any of those young, progressive, millennial, generation z types, it was the final nail in the coffin for elizabeth warren. they wanted actual, serious policy, and they are not interested in letting the 9-year-old transgender fly the plane. they understand all that rubbish for the gesture politics that it is. >> tucker: will you -- i mean, when she said that -- i don't want to keep going back to that moment, but i think it is something that will live in its history as a low point or high point, however you measure it come it, 2020, and the insanity that has overtaken the country. nobody seems to notice it. we have breaking news, elizabeth warren had a mental breakdown on stage and setting on your trans child could bet her cabinet secretary. we was tha would have said thats
5:11 pm
normal. everyone is as crazy as she is in the media. >> well, the media are pure for you can't criticize that. some easily triggered pajama boy is sitting there, oh, tucker and mark steyn were taking the transgender pick for cabinet se. the fact that she was a substantial person in the '90s, with this very biographical thing and that she had pretended to be something other than who she is. so she had done all this rubbish, like submitting the duke of windsor's favorite crab recipe to the powwow child, cherokee cookbook. that in itself is an example of how identity politics has deranged of the american left. this person actually passed herself off as harvard law school's first woman of color, and nobody called her on it, and
5:12 pm
so obviously, in such a world, if you then say, harvard law school's first woman of color is going to have the first 9-year-old transgender of color pick out her cabinet, why would you take issue with that? the left has so advanced down these competing cul-de-sacs of identity politics, they can't actually have a substantive debate on who actually should be president. to the point now where they have got a guy where there is no there, they are. his brain has gone off and retired to the bahamas, and they have a cardboard cutout of bernie sanders from 1977 running for president. that is the ultimate identity politics -- there is no identity. identity has flown, and the dead husk is all that's left. >> tucker: [laughs] so deep and true. i will think about that before i go to bed tonight. mark steyn, thank you. great to see you tonight. >> thanks a lot, tucker.
5:13 pm
>> tucker: so here's the interesting thing. ideologically, elizabeth warren is the democrat closest to bernie sanders in the race. she got out to dave, but so far, she has not endorsed sanders, and it seems, given how much she appears to despise him, she never will. if more and stays neutral or endorses joe biden, it will only add to the belief of sanders supporters that their candidate was sabotaged by democratic elites. and by the way, they have reason to feel that way. justin horowitz is a sanders supporter and joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. i will put it as bluntly as i can: do you think we are watching the election being stolen from bernie sanders? >> i don't necessarily think it is being stolen, but the steps that are being pulled out by the democratic establishment and the corporate elite prevent sanders from getting the nomination is pretty remarkable, right? the oldest civil rights organization for latinos in the country today released a statement denouncing the voter
5:14 pm
suppression effort in both texas and california that predominantly affected counties that were going to go for sanders, and going to go for sanders pretty heavily. they are really pulling out all the stops, and what you are seeing is the same pundits and strategists that told us that only hillary can beat trump in 2016, have converged and made this alliance with a bunch of neoconservatives from the bush era, like bill kristol, mike bloomberg, and david from. rick wilson went to basically tell us, yeah, only biden can beat -- only biden can beat trump now, and the problem with that is we all see that joe biden is a defective product that will break in the general election. we all see it. we are not allowed to talk about it, but he is clearly not all there. so bernie sanders is the only candidate that can actually beat donald trump, and they are
5:15 pm
pulling out all the stops, because you know, the war profiteers, the financial monopolists on wall street, they don't want to pay taxes. they don't want the interest loophole closed. it is just unbelievable. >> tucker: that is true. so let me ask you, you said that you think biden is less capable of beating the president and bernie sanders is. >> absolutely. >> tucker: why do you say that? >> i think for a variety of reasons. joe biden sold us the war in iraq, he's on record about cutting social security and medicare. joe biden pushed for the increase in private prisons. joe biden has cozied up to the credit card industry more than any candidate in the race. and again, what we all know but unfortunately aren't allowed to talk about because it is personal attacks is he is a candidate that is mentally deteriorating. people in the democratic establishment say, oh, don't say that. they really believe they can shield joe biden from public
5:16 pm
scrutiny, and the reality is, they can't. we all see what is going on he here. and it's going to be a disaster if we nominate joe biden. >> tucker: so you believe, justin, my last question, you believe the democratic establishment is perfectly aware of what has happened with joe biden, with his mental acuity? speak i think everyone is perfectly aware of what is happening with joe biden. he is a candidate in decline. we all see it. he can't get on stage without making some type of gas, and these are the same gaffes he made in his previous two failed residential runs. these gaffes are a lot more serious. these gaffes clearly indicate he is not all there anymore. and bernie sanders is a sharp debater. he is still all there. and i think -- it will play out, when biden goes up against bernie had to head, i think
5:17 pm
bernie picks up steam and ends up winning the nomination because biden simply can't debate. they are trying to protect him from being in public. well, unfortunately, when you run for president, you are going to be in public and people are going to see what is happening. >> tucker: yeah, it's going to be a long eight months. justin horowitz, thank you so much for coming on. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: we are not done tonight eulogizing dead democratic campaigns. later this hour, we will discuss the sad fate of michael bloomberg. talk about humiliation. plus, a special super tuesday addition "final exam was good. up next, we have an update on the chinese coronavirus, killing thousands a date and hit a lead. how fast is it spreading here, do we even know? that is straight ahead. ♪ (professor) sound power is defined as through a surface

♪ >> tucker: the chinese coronavirus continues to spread across this country. there are even reports tonight that a congressional staffer has tested positive for it. cheap breaking news correspondent trace gallagher joins us to round up today's coronavirus story, starting with concerns another cruise ship could be carrying the disease here. hey, trace. >> hey, tucker. there are 3500 passengers on the cruise ship of off the coast of san francisco, nontested positive for coronavirus becaus. a coast guard helicopter just dropped off test kits a short while ago. the issue with the grand princess is three former passengers on the ship's prior cruise to mexico did coronavirus, one an elderly man from sacramento died.
5:23 pm
some passengers on the ship now are also on the cruise to mexico, and about 100 passengers on the ship right now, might be 200, have been identified for testing. meantime, there is brand-new information on the worker at los angeles international airport who also tested positive for covid-19. the employee is identified as a medical screener that homeland security says more the protective equipment and clothing necessary and took the necessary precautions. that screener, who has a very mild case, is now under quarantine and close family members and other workers have also been tested. finally, dr. sarah coady, director of the santa clara county health department, was offering good advice to help stop the spread of coronavirus. don't touch her own mouth, nose, or eyes. one minute after she said it, she licked her finger to turn the page. seen here is, do as i say, not as i do. tough not to touch your face. the president says he hasn't done it in weeks, and he misses
5:24 pm
it. tucker? >> tucker: [laughs] that finger licking video. i shouldn't laugh. a deadly epidemic, but that was funny. great to see you tonight. scientists now say there are two major strains of the chinese coronavirus. does that make the virus even more dangerous? and is this country ready for a major outbreak? are we getting that? fox medical expert dr. marc siegel has been on the road for us for days on the story from the very beginning, and he joins us tonight. doctor, thanks so much for coming on. give us the latest, if you would. two strains of the virus, what does that mean? >> chinese scientists have discovered a so-called l strain and a letter s strain. people out there need to know this kind of virus is unstable. it's changing all the time. it's a single strand and always having genetic changes. but these are subtypes, kind of like the flu, how you have different strains of the flu around. we are seeing at least two different strains of the coronavirus paper that in itself
5:25 pm
is not the problem, but will it change more? will it change so much that the vaccine we make doesn't fit it? i think the answer to that is no. i think we can get a vaccine to fit all of these strains as long as we track them. the question is, is one strain more severe than the other? the l strain seems to be more severe, and that was causing more trouble in china at the beginning. we need to figure out which strain is the one that is really emerging here in the united states and in europe. which one? the more severe strain, or the less severe strain? that will tell us how many mild cases we have. >> tucker: you've been on the road, out in nebraska, and you've been serving the collective response to this illness here. do you think we are ready for a major outbreak, and are we getting one? >> surge capacity, can we surge? when you hear stories about cases piling up that you don't know where they came from, airport screeners, doctors licking their fingers, right?
5:26 pm
by the way, doctors are the worst patients. i'm starting to worry, because i am seeing announcements of cases coming in some office building and the person was sent home. should be close the office? in new york, we are seeing more and more cases. we've obviously seen washington state and california. johns hopkins has studied this based on what they saw with the flu, and i'd say we are not ready if we see in a lot of cases. here is what i mean by that, tucker. we have about 60,000 ventilators in the country, about 50,000 icu beds. we can make about another 50,000. 100,000 icu beds. hopefully, that will be enough. but it will depend on how severe this is and how much it spreads. that is giving our viewers the idea of why we are trying so hard to contain this. the more we contain it, the less we are going to put our hospitals at risk, but i want to add something positive. all hospitals are gearing up. under the leadership of this
5:27 pm
task force, they are involving protocols. what would they do? what would they do a lot of patients come in? how would they quarantine them? how would they isolate them? how would they get other patients transferred to a different part? >> tucker: not the right time to give the rest of the world access to our health care system, i would think. we will be checking -- >> it's not the right time to be changing our health care system, by the way. we need to go with what works. >> tucker: amen. especially now. great to see you tonight. thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: more follow tonight from chuck schumer's threat to members of the supreme court, majority leader mitch mcconnell gave a response to our shannon bream. she has a lot for us right after the break. plus, a female prison inmate said she was raped by a transgender inmate. a grotesque story that tells you a lot, straight ahead. ♪

5:33 pm
was raped by a transgender inmate that identifies as female but has male genitalia. she reported the assault, and she was retaliated against, taking away her phone privileges and moving her to a lower-class facility. via alleged female rape victim said she was lured into a cell, alleging the assault happened on the very first day the transgender inmate was allowed into the general population. the lawsuit read the female victim was terrified of his transgender inmate who is much bigger and stronger than her and she heard the transgender prisoner was convicted of murd murder. however, the lawsuit states the correctional officers ruled the sexual encounter was consensual. three collectioncorrections officers covering it up. the practice of putting transgender males and female prisons. the illinois department of corrections tells fox news they cannot comment on the matter because of pending litigation.
5:34 pm
in a statement to fox news, the attorney for the alleged rape victim says "applying a sweeping policy that pretends no transgender inmate could ever harm another is delusional." the lawsuit also indicated before this incident happened, some of the staff at this prison wrote on facebook that they were concerned about what would happen if transgender inmates were transferred to this female prison. tucker? >> tucker: yeah, what could go wrong? i guess we just found out. matt finn, great to see you. well, eyebrows rose across the country yesterday after senate minority leader chuck schumer delivered wild sounding threats to supreme court justices kavanaugh and gorsuch. now majority leader mitch mcconnell is weighing in to our own shannon bream in an exclusive interview. she joins us now with a preview of what he told her. that interview will be airing on a special midnight addition of her show tonight. hey, shannon bream. interesting story. tell us what you heard. >> well, you heard what the top

5:36 pm
about how he feels about this sort of nonapology that also accuses him of over-hyping the whole thing. >> we have a behavioral problem, and i think the leaders of congress owe it to the american people to act like adults and not engage in shenanigans like going over in front of the supreme court with a rowdy mob and threatening the justices by name. >> you know, i asked him also about the idea that president trump should take some heat because he has said things about supreme court justices, folks see that as apples and oranges on the right side of the aisle. i asked if there were going to censure the top democrat in the senate or other plans, he talks about that and coronavirus, how they are attacking matt, and we will have more tonight. we will have it. >> tucker: shannon bream, i will be watching midnight tonight. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: michael bloomberg just blew $500 million in a late, late, late midlife crisis. in the end, he got humiliated

big gay ice cream is the best. >> tucker: what did i get him? the only thing he won was america samoa. the only thing he referenced was his total campaign spending is pretty close to the annual gdp of american samoa. he could've just bought it. at least he would've had something at the end. end. chadwick moore is a journalist in new york city and a frequent guest on the show. i love political obits because i think it is important to pause and assess what we just saw. how would you assess what we just saw with mike bloomberg? the spending is the great story. the obnoxious, obscene, offensive amount of money really that he spent in the three months he was legitimately running for president, and you're right, he could have just bought american samoa for that amount of money, turned it into his own little globalist billionaire paradise, globalist island. he's already done that to another island called manhattan
