9:00 pm
to ensure total discretion. choose the solution that keeps you drier. try always discreet underwear, with a money back guarantee. brand power. helping you buy better. i'm trace gallagher, tucker carlson starts >> tucker: this is a fox news alert: if you've been watching, the president is still speaking at a news conference in new georgia. we have a full show. we will dip back in for a moment. we'll be right back. >> when you find molotov cocktails in someone's knapsack and they say i'm just here to have a good time, these are really sick, disturbed people that disgraced mayor of the city has ordered the police to stand down in the face of rioters leaving his citizens at the mercy of this mob. he was at the mercy of the mob if you saw him go out there the other day, it was terrible. went out there and they wanted to rip them apart.
9:01 pm
fortunately, he had five people with him called security. mayor wheeler has abdicated his duty and as a result, the mob has set up on a police precinct and tried to burn it down, rip it down and an act of attempted murder, it poses an increasing threat to our country and we stop it. you have though idea how much we st stop, stop, but it's an ideology we have to stop. when you commit arson, this is a quote from the mayor, he's come a long way, just made this quote, when you commit arson with an accelerant in the attempt to burn down a building that is occupied by people who have intentionally been trapped inside, you are not a demonstrator for demonstrating, you are attempting to commit
9:02 pm
murder. and that's come a long way, he's come a long way when he made that statement. what you're seeing in portland is the radical left agenda in action, portland is their road map for america. if the radical left gets in and they treat joe biden as a puppet, he is merely a puppet, but if the radical left gets in, they look at portland as a thing that they want, who knows? doesn't matter. it's different thinking, but it's a mess, and i want to think -- thank homeland security. they've done a fantastic job. we had our people go in, they stopped any intrusion into the courthouse, and the courthouse was saved and other federal buildings were saved, and we would like to be asked by the mayor and the governor, we will go in and stop the problems in portland in 24 hours just like
9:03 pm
we did in minneapolis after they really hurt that city, but the national guard went and did a phenomenal job. it was over in three hours after watching six days of horror, it ended in three hours, you all saw the scene of them walking right down the street. it was an unfortunate view but an incredible view of how to do things, so we would be able to solve the portland situation immediately, but we are supposed to be asked, it is a very easy thing for us to do, we could stop it very quickly, been going on now for 76 days, but our buildings are very secure. if the democrats controlled in washington, the democrats control of washington, they passed with all of the things they do, legislation, cutting every single police department
9:04 pm
in america, they truly do, many of these people want to defund the police department and at a minimum or going to stop money from going to the police department but in many cases, they do want to defund completely the police department. no city, no town, and no suburb would be safe. suburbs would be a disaster, your cities and towns would be a disaster. they want every city to be portland or chicago which is totally out of control and we are waiting for the mayor, sent people in to help them but we are waiting for them to call the governor, the mayor to do a very good job in chicago and no one's ever seen anything like that in this country. and yet, nationwide, numbers are good despite chicago won portland in new york when you look at what's happening in new york. 348% increase in the last number of months, nobody seen anything like that, so sad. i love new york. and it's so sad and all it is as horrible incompetent management
9:05 pm
by politicians that don't know what they're doing. so just like we say at the courthouse, we will save the united states of america and the vast majority of people agree with me, a vast majority. most people. they don't speak up as much as they could, but we know they are there and everybody else knows they are there so with that, i'll take a few questions from the media. they've been here for a long time and waiting outside for a long time waiting for these moments, always a lot of fun. go ahead. no, you, go ahead. >> i have a couple of questions on the negotiation from capitol hill. these executive orders you mentioned, do you have a timeline on when you will sign them? >> it could be by the end of the
9:06 pm
week. >> they are being drawn right now, they work very nicely that would be nice to be able to do it with the democrats, but they really just interested in one thing and that is protecting people that have not done a good job in managing cities and states and nothing to do with covid or little to do, they want to be able to make up for many years in some cases decades of bad management, so that's what they want. they want to do that and we don't want to do that. >> are you concerned about the legality of these? >> no, not at all. >> you always get sued, i was sued on the travel ban, i was sued on a lot of things so we will see, probably will but people feel that we can do it. go ahead. >> the intelligence agencies today said russia is already meddling in this year's election to hurt joe biden and china is considering meddleing to hurt you. do you believe that intelligence
9:07 pm
and what do you plan to do about it? >> it could be. i think the last person russia wants to see an office is donald trump because nobody's been tougher on russia than i have ever. >> that's not what they say. >> well, i don't care what anybody says. nobody with any common sense would say look at what we've done with our military and what we've done in exposing the pipeline with billions of dollars going to russia, look at all of the things we've done with nato raising $130 billion a year from countries that were delinquent and now paying all of this money in the 130 by the way goes to 400 billion over a few years, and that's all money to protect against russia. china would love us to have an election where he lost to joe biden. they would own our country. if joe biden was president, china would own our country and what was the other country? >> no, just those two.
9:08 pm
>> the report said iran also but you didn't say that. i ran would love to see -- they would love to see me not be president, and i'll make a statement, if and when we win, we will make deals very quickly. will make deals with north korea very quickly and whatever happened to north korea, you didn't see that. i didn't win the election, our country would now be in a war with korea. everybody said trump will get us in war. no, just the opposite. and we actually have a relationship with north korea which is something that was never established by the previous administration. he would've been in war with north korea and it would have been a very bad war. so whether you look at iran, every one of them will make a deal with us very quickly. iran is dying to make a deal but they want to see because they'd much rather make a deal with biden because of they make a deal with the united states,
9:09 pm
if china makes a deal with the united states with biden in charge, they would own our country. look what i've done, taken tens of billions of dollars from china, china was having the worst year they've had in 67 years and we were having the best year we've ever had with big tax cuts, big regulation cuts, rebuilt our military, became independent in terms of energy, the energy leader of the world, having the best year we've ever had. by the way, african-american, asian-american, unemployment numbers the best in the history of our country. all things and many other groups including women, high school diploma, no high school diploma, college diploma. >> president of the u.s. steakings questions in new jersey. we will monitor that back and forth. bring it to you as news warrants. topics under discussion, the riots in the pacific northwest and around the country, foreign
9:10 pm
policy in russia, china, and north korea. all compelling, all things covered widely in the news but at the same time, a lot of things that don't get a lot of coverage. at this moment, the most compelling voice against abortion and planned parenthood is not a republican. the most widely heard christian of evangelist is not ordained. instead, he is a rapper married to a kardashian who everyone says is crazy. kanye west is running for president. that's not really the headline. the headline is that encore conservative issues, not political issues but on foundational questions about life and children and what happens when you die, no one with a national platform has been more honest or sincere or effective than kanye west has been. maybe in generations. it's all pretty shocking, talk about an unlikely messenger, but it's real.
9:11 pm
check out his twitter feed if you haven't seen it. not everything he says is conservative, far from it. but when he talks about his face -- his faiths and about the gift of human life, you start to ask yourself why are there any elected republicans who sound like that. they say they believe the same things, but if they actually do, why don't they talk like kanye west does? the answer of course is because they are afraid to. but west is not afraid. he doesn't have to be. he's too famous and made too much money. he sold something like 150 million albums over the past 20 years. and it's hard to cancel a guy like that. so what does the left do in response, how do you make him shut up? the short answer is you can't, see you work to discredit him. he go ad hominem, ignore what he's saying and attack him as a person, you know you will lose if you tried that so instead, you try to keep people from listening to him. it's an easier job when you're
9:12 pm
dealing with less famous people think through our centrally controlled internet, usually silences dissent at the press of a button but with prominent wrong fingers, it requires a final touch, more artistic flair. when the author rowling had the gall to note that biological is a reality and not just a state of mind, google couldn't wipe her off the internet. she is rowling, she created harry potter. so the left had to destroy her more methodically. when new site compared her to the anti-semites and then dismissed her as deeply unpleasant. so multiply that attack by hundreds of stories and over time, they are confident no one ever listen to rowling again. and kanye west case, they decided to attack him as mentally ill. you hear that a lot now, but it's a relatively new tactic, just a little over four years ago publishing a piece about
9:13 pm
kanye west, highlighted his most famous moments like the time he at the music awards. cnn described all these incidents is controversial but there was no mention of kanye west being a danger to himself, much less mentally ill, just controversial. not a problem, and then he appeared to say something positive about donald trump and everything changed in an instant. kanye west became a babbling lunatic, the kind of guy who pose imaginary insects out of the air and soil since own pants, a total nutcase. watch. >> the event on sunday that you saw clearly in trouble. >> a democratic state representative earlier this summer telling the cnn it is sad to see a popular music artists like kanye be used as a pond or trick his own people and fans. >> a new question this morning about kanye west's mental health
9:14 pm
after this tweet storm and so-called campaign rally. >> you see the ignorance and asinine thought and behavior and has been something that's risen to the top. >> whether clearly vulnerable mr. west is trying to siphon votes away from joe biden. >> tucker: they are sad and concerned. he is in trouble. it's also fake. the oily fake empathy. kanye is vulnerable. these people are actually worried but not worried about kanye west tore his family, they don't care about him. they are worried about the threat that he poses to the democratic party orthodoxy and therefore to their power. they don't say that out loud, they are liars, so instead they continue to play the role of psychiatric nurse. here's the guy whose job it is to get drunk on camera on new year's eve letting kanye west know that he is embarrassing himself and his dead mother. >> what i saw was a minstrel show today.
9:15 pm
him in front of all these white people embarrassing himself and embarrassing americans, but mostly african-americans, and now all of a sudden, he is the person who represents the african-american community. he doesn't. this was an embarrassment. kanye's mother is rolling over in her grave. >> tucker: he is defiling the memory of his mother. sad. this group of cable news mental health experts may be deeply concerned about kanye west and yet for all of their apparent medical training, somehow they don't appear to know that joe biden can no longer speak english. he is fine, he is not embarrassing anyone. kanye west by contrast is deeply embarrassing mostly because he is embarrassing to the democratic party. here is someone who should be a democrat calling out the most absurd lie that party tells. we care about black lives. that's why we want more abortion clinics in black neighborhoods. that's their position.
9:16 pm
is insultingly stupid and anyone who thinks about it knows that. when you love your kids come you want them to grow up and have children of their own. it's the main thing you want but if you are most consistent message to your children was please end your pregnancy, they might start to wonder how you really felt about them and kanye west has started to wonder about that and things like that. last month on twitter, he wrote that he had cried at the thought of aborting my firstborn. i'm concerned for the world that feels he shouldn't cry about this subject. that's for sure. it's obvious, but when kanye west says it, people might actually listen to him, and that's a massive problem for the left. here he is last month. >> my dad wanted to abort me. my mom saved my life.
9:17 pm
there would have been no kanye west because my dad was too busy. >> [crowd noise]. >> i almost killed my daughter. >> tucker: what was the last time you heard someone famous say something like that in public? let's see, never. and then he went on to point out some of the more inconvenient facts that they want you to forget. "over 22,500,000 black babies have been aborted over the past 50 years he tweeted. see, the media said, he is not well. pray for him. of course, what west said was factually true and what's also true is that planned parenthood was founded by someone who wanted fewer black people. that's why she founded it. she once wondered aloud about the appearances of exterminating the negro population."
9:18 pm
it's disgusting. you can find that on google. west has, he knows it, and learning it clearly made him rethink his worldview. here he is were a couple of years ago. >> one of the moves i love the liberals try to do is try to control a black person through the concept of racism because they know that we're very proud proud, emotional people. so if i say i like trump to someone that's a liberal, you think racism can control me? that don't stop me. >> tucker: no wonder they hate him. to be clear, kanye west is not a normal person. we are not saying he is. he has set out loud he suffers from something he calls a sprained brain. we are not sure what that is not pretending to be mental health experts and may be kanye west is crazy. we don't know. but it's also true and wise people know this that in a time like this, for lunatic time, sometimes it is only the crazy people who can see the world clearly.
9:19 pm
youtube censored one of her videos about abortion, not surprisingly probably because it was true. she joins us now. thank you so much for coming on. so you think about this topic for a living, articulate a position against it for a living. what do you make of kanye west saying these things? >> he's getting a lot of pushback from a lot of media elites and politicians and those in entertainment because he is saying something that is true and that they refuse to acknowledge or recognize which is that abortion is the intentional and direct killing of an innocent human child and he is expressing grief for the idea that in the past when he his girlfriend was pregnant with his now 7-year-old daughter that he thought about encouraging an abortion and that is real. i think it's a shame for rest to accuse it as being crazy and write that off. that's real. the people are refusing to acknowledge it, and that's the real problem here.
9:20 pm
and there have been 60 million children killed since it was legalized in this country. 60 million children. sons and daughters. and they were mothers and fathers who are walking wounded who have not reckoned with that and not grieved that we have not said sorry for that and they are still hurting. it's very deep and until we reckon with it as a culture and fix the law to make this unthinkable and illegal, we are not going to have the national healing that we all want. we can't go on like this. so i think him saying this is infuriating for people and they want to just ignore it and pretend it's not happening but is occult dual revolution it's -- a culture revolution. happening where people are waking up to the fact that abortion is an atrocity and needs to stop. >> tucker: there is no upside for him and saying this that i can think of, certainly not becoming more popular among the people in his world. >> i'm grateful for his voice
9:21 pm
and speaking specifically to the black community. a black woman is three to five times more likely to have an abortion. 19 to 22 million children killed by abortions who are black just because of the focus of the abortion industry on being in black neighborhoods, and more than anything, that's the greatest impact of it is the killing, number one cause of death is the killing of children in the womb. >> tucker: says my children of the most important thing to me, the greatest blessing i have, and he has been denounced as crazy. tells you who is crazy. it's not him. >> we all have something to learn. >> tucker: i agree. so a high school principal in new jersey rode an outraged letter because students at his school dared to carry an american flag designed to support the police. we will speak to a parent of
9:22 pm
that school. we will speak to a f that school

9:27 pm
the picture was taken in october. what was the picture? it wasn't of the virginia governor, they weren't wearing clan robes, caring and american flag with a blue stripe on it. a blue lives matter flag. they were there for the dare program, the most wholesome scenario you can imagine but the image horrified the principle of the school. he wrote that the picture was understandably appalling and then continued with smoke speak fitting the corporate hr department "the need for growth is apparent. i wish we had realized any of the negative associations with the picture. we should have known. i personally can only apologize that i did not. some parents were confused by this. one of them, a father responded this way writing "as a parent and an american, i find your letter to not only be
9:28 pm
also misguided and ironically intolerant of anyone holding views which conforms to carefully constructed language of wokeness. that parent joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. so i just want to be clear to the audience, sometimes you have guests on, you are not a political activist, not a very political person, you don't have some complex political agenda, just a parent with kids in the school, and you were confused by what the principal said and i'll let you take it from there. >> that's right. i actually wasn't really confused. i knew exactly what would happen, i follow the news and i see what's happening with canceled culture and anyone who speaks out and dares to veer off and the constructed script that businesses and politicians are meant to convey when they're speaking about these things, but what really seemed appalling to me actually much more so than a photograph of football players
9:29 pm
holding an american flag, what was truly appalling was the fact that it seems was reacting without even thinking about kids. so he is calling the flag that these boys are holding, calling the flag racist so essentially saying they are out there waving a racist flag around without any regard to what that might mean for the boys images over the boy's future futures now to be branded in such a way that clearly wasn't their intention. i was at the football game that day. they were honoring the program and it came out and so that's where it came in. that's where shock came in? there was lots of school unity and nobody had an objection to holding a thin blue line flag.
9:30 pm
so when i see that level of hypocrisy, it did inspire me to write a letter. had no intention of it going any further than the school board and the principal and the superintendent, but when i was asked to talk about that, i felt it was my duty as a father and as a citizen to actually stand up and say what i'm saying shouldn't be controversial, and it shouldn't be polarizing. as polarizing as that email that we all received was. i'm just talking about free speech and talking about the idea that we should not be so quick to judge one another based on what the current culture is telling us is so. >> tucker: every point you've made is rooted in common sense and decency and concern for other people and i bet you 85% of americans would agree with every word that just came out of your mouth and yet taking a real risk coming on the show, a risk your livelihood and family we are not overstating that. so i just really fervently hope you are not punished for saying
quote
9:31 pm
what most people think in a gentle rational way. i really do. so our thoughts are with you tonight, thank you for standing up and saying that. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: i appreciate it, good luck. cases of coronavirus are down, deaths are down, but the democratic nominee joe biden wants to bring back stricter lockdowns. why is that exactly? is it rooted in science? doctor marc siegel joins us next.
9:32 pm
9:33 pm
9:34 pm
9:35 pm
9:36 pm
>> tucker: nancy pelosi would like you to know that politicians across the country need a lot more of your money right now and you may have some questions about this. didn't congress just sent $150 billion in aid to states and cities a couple of months ago? they did. where did all that money go? are we paying for coronavirus stimulus programs or are we fixing budget shortfalls that exist because of years of incompetent governance? those may seem like good
9:37 pm
questions to ask your speaker of the house. judy woodruff at pbs thought they were fair questions, so she asked them. let's see how that went. >> the other point republicans are making is now showing flexibility and money for state and local governments. this is again a difference, democrats want more money and republicans want a lot less. they are saying they're willing to show flexibility and also saying a lot of money that was passed in the spring that has not been spent yet. >> if you want to be an advocate for them, let me know what the facts are. >> i am playing devil's advocate. >> i'm asking for your position. >> tucker: wow, the mask came off. did you see that snap? talk about brittle. notice a couple of things about the clip, making sure not taking any sides, just probing the waters. who could seriously think that spending more money for no reason is a bad idea? it's a global pandemic.
9:38 pm
more of your money being redistributed is always good but notice how quickly nancy pelosi reacts to the question and how nasty she is as she does. she's surprised this could be the first time a journalist has asked her to justify spending she wants. she is aghast. the clip is as much an indictment of pelosi's arrogance and fragility as it is the media's abdication's of its responsibilities. they are supposed to be the devil's advocate. they are not your advocates. trust them. coronavirus cases and deaths are dropping rapidly across america for now. joe biden has promised we should bring back lockdowns anyway and he will. watch . >> based on what you see now, would you rollback the reopening? >> i'm not going to speculate on that because i don't know. i'm sorry. if i was president today i
9:39 pm
would roll back the reopening is in a number of places in everyone forever there is a significant percentage of people with covid should be required to keep social distancing and masks, bar should not be open, should not be congregations of more than ten people. >> tucker: okay. so what are the effects on the rest of us? most of us are not at great risk of dying from covid-19. all of us are at risk from living in a poor country so there is very scientific basis for that recommendation, dr. marc siegel is a fox news medical contributor and joins us tonight. what is your assessment? >> there may be some science behind masks and social distancing though when it comes to lockdowns, i want our viewers to know we are talking 1918 public health. in 1918, my mother's older brother i just found out he was eight years older than her died tragically of ear infections when she couldn't get operated on because the hospital was so full of the spanish flu but over
9:40 pm
in st. louis the health commissioner locked down st. louis because it was in advance of the spanish flu coming there. it was in boston. he saw the spanish flu coming, he stopped street car traffic. now, he didn't have plans to deal with or anything like what we have to deal with today and by the time we started the lockdowns here, already covid-19 was everywhere and strangled our economy and caused great economic and physical damage and all kinds of medical damage that we haven't even thought of yet. so now vice president biden my presidential candidate biden is talking about the lockdowns? let's look at the state of maine tonight, a state that is near dear to your heart. producer just closed on a beautiful house that he wants to use where there were five new cases of covid-19 over the last 24 hours. five new cases. physical distancing is built into the environment there where people are wearing masks and are
9:41 pm
washing their hands. five cases. we are going to lock down main? going to lock down new york again when we've come out of this? how many states are going to lock down and cause great damage? instead, my prescription comes from the surgeon general, the three ws. watch your distance, wash your hands, wear a mask. that's what we need. we don't need lockdowns, vice president biden. we don't need lockdowns. that will destroy us. >> tucker: a very clear message and one rooted in science. appreciate it. thank you. so are people within the trump orbit working to sabotage the trump agenda? it's been going on for quite some time and if it has, what are their names? an interesting segment after the break. as, what are their names? an interesting segment after the now, simparica trio simplifies protection. ticks and fleas? see ya! heartworm disease?
9:42 pm
no way! simparica trio is the first chewable that delivers all this protection. and simparica trio is demonstrated safe for puppies. it's simple: go with simparica trio. this drug class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including seizures; use with caution in dogs with a history of these disorders. protect him with all your heart. simparica trio.

9:47 pm
out, very hard to get those things into law. in the end, democrats hated them. the washington establishment hated them every bit but there was another problem. people within the trump orbit also hated them and worked against making them policies. so who are those people exactly? books will be written on this at some point, but for now we know that it's a real problem. in effect, according to a report in politico just today, the top advisors are terrified to take a stand on the question of biological sex. biological. transgender issues, even as biological men continue to dominate in sports. most people oppose that. so why are they running at it? it's reality. has been paying close attention to this and has some ideas, ceo of the american majority and happy to have him on tonight. thank you so much for coming on. so i think it's mostly democrats
9:48 pm
and mostly permanent washington figures, a lot of good people around the president, but some people around the president are opposed to his agenda for ideological reasons, who are they? >> i've got to tell you when the age of trump in america first, fascinating to see how to swarm -- how two swamp creatures like katie walsh and her husband mike shields have consolidated, senior data advisor send up an llc, strategy to raise money for the convention, has a relationship with data trust, runs convergence media, is involved in managing the president's data via excelsior which conveniently is run by his vice president of digital strategy, has a relationship with the nrcc and "the washington post" reported that with brad parscale, they had
9:49 pm
contracts with 23 party committees and affiliations in 2017. i tell people all the time, a powerful couple in d.c. that you don't know about are katie and mike. they really do control a massive part of the goop. katie described working with trump as trying to understand a child. he was known as a leaker. they are doing their best to make sure trump and america first do not stamp their image on the gop. they would be happy if they returned to the mccain and romney days.
9:50 pm
>> tucker: in other words of the president wasn't reelected. >> correct. and i think this is one thing where trump has to take a firm stance and realize he has the power and turn the gop into america first party and rid the party of people like katie and mike. >> tucker: most people believe government should serve the middle-class first and in washington, they would be laughed at so it's a popular idea and i think it's important for the administration to work as a whole toward achieving it so i appreciate this. thank you for that. good to see you. so kanye west is running for president. can he win? probably not, but what effect will he have? with noticed an interesting trend and joe biden's public remarks, not many of them, but all connected by one phrase. we will tell you what it is after the break. you what it is after the
