♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." donald trump got the coronavirus last week. on saturday, some of his aides suggested that he could die from it. the media happily seconded that diagnosis. trump, they informed us, has a condition known as clinical obesity. whatever. it sounds significantly worse than cancer and far more unattractive. so for a time it looks like curtains for big orange. and then, an amazing reversal. trump strode out of the hospital, thumbs in the air, back from the grave tweeting like a savage. today he was at his desk in the white house. new yorker subscribers may never

get over the shock of it all. to add to their pain and confusion and bewilderment, donald trump released this video last night. >> i learned so much about coronavirus and one thing that's for certain, don't let it dominate you. don't be afraid of it. you're going to beat it, we have the best medical equipment, we have the best medicines. don't let it dominate, don't let it take over your lives. don't let that happen. we are the greatest country in the world. >> tucker: feeling really good, the president tweeted later. don't be afraid of covid. don't let it dominate your life. we have developed, under the trump administration, some really great drugs and knowled knowledge. it was self-promotional, of course, but honestly, it's hard to think of a better or more positive message. take trump out of it. yes, the coronavirus is lavishly deadly, it still killed hundreds of thousands of people in this country, most of them old and sick, but the president himself is old, not to mention

clinically obese, whatever that is. and yet he survives. he appears to be in a great mood as people who cheat death often are. of course he received great medical care, he's the president, but there was nomagit he received. every drug donald trump talk is available to the rest of us if and when we get sick. and that ought to give us hope. if trump survived, so can we. that doesn't mean we should ignore the coronavirus or behave recklessly, obviously, but it does suggest we don't have to live in a permanent state of terror. don't let it dominate your life, trump said. that's advice you to give own children. but for the people whose power derives from our fear, it was a threat. they need you to be afraid, perpetually. otherwise you won't obey them. so of course they were enraged by what trump said. watch. >> of course you should be afraid of covid and how disrespectful that is. >> now we see this tweet, which

is heartless -- >> don't be afraid of covid, don't let it control your life! you don't have to let it control your life because you live in the white house. >> it is insulting to every american who wears a mask, who's been laid off as a result the covid. >> everyone should be afraid of covid. look what it has already done. >> and flabbergasted by that and honestly i cannot stop thinking about it. >> donald trump is telling you don't be afraid of the deadly coronavirus. no one on earth has done more to spread the coronavirus and donald trump. >> tucker: are you following this? encouraging hope in your country is now "heartless." staying cheerful is an insult of the rest of us. our leaders have an obligation to confirm our most irrational fears, that's what compassion looks like. that's what they're telling us. it's deranged. but it's also recognizable. it reminds you of the many goals in washington who forced our military to wage pointless mortise, quartz on the middle east but when you point

out how destructive all of that has been, they whip around and accuse you of insulting the memory of our soldiers, that is the thousands of unfortunate young americans who have died in their pointless wars. how do you respond to an attack like that? it's almost too irrational to rebut. that's why they use it. and that's why they use the same strategy here. they wrecked our economy with lockdowns, they keep our children stunted and ignorant by shutting down their schools. they drive our entire country to the brink of madness with politically motivated hysteria, but if you dare to say a word about it, if you dare to complain in any way, you are the monster. in fact, you're a killer. watch this blow-dried cable news wonder lose control of himself because somebody in the cnn control room played video of donald trump taking off his mask. >> and the president in that sunset boulevard gesture with his mask off in front of the american people on the nightly news. last night. so as a doctor whose job it is -- take it off, please, don't

even put on the screen, please take it off, because that's going to kill people. >> tucker: take it off, don't even put it on the screen. he whipped his mask off in front of the american people. he dropped his mask, it's like pornography. actually it's worse. they are donors to the democratic party, they are virtuous. this is a deeper crime than that. taking a mask off effectively is questioning corona theology and anyone who does that has committed an act of spiritual obscenity. watch msnbc warn its viewers to hide their children before they play video of donald trump talking about the virus. >> it is a video of a very sick man with very sick ideas. i'm going to show you another deeply perverse statement that donald trump made tonight on that video and i will let him say it in his own words with his own voice, you will hear that, but with the appropriate

warning, viewers should know that what you're about to hear is utterly insane and dangerous. >> tucker: utterly insane and dangerous. that is spine tingling. if kim jong il somehow made it a dracula, they're daemonic demonic savon, the incubus they created would still be less awful, less harmful to this nation than a video of donald trump assuring you that everything is going to be okay in the end. according to msnbc, that's how bad it was. okay. so this is what peak hysteria must look like. cable news can't possibly get more overheated than that, you must be thinking. no, yes, it can, and cnn tried hard last night to top it. unfortunately there is something of a disadvantage, our anchors aren't quite as articulate as the guys from msnbc, the cnn -- went to harvard. doesn't have quite as many words

to choose from when he wants to express his total outrage. instead he works blue and the knotty language lets you know just how mad he is. >> there he is. hair blown majestically, re-shooting the scene for his own ad. i hold rallies and i tell you to ignore masks and i rip mine off as i vanquish the virus because i am a leader. fear not, covid. what a bunch of [bleep]. >> tucker: while, knotty! that word wasn't in the prompter or anything, it just came out totally unscripted. once crisp cuomo without a mask he lost it. he honestly wouldn't believe the president would do something that obscene. infected with covid, yet breathing very air that circulates in our common atmosphere that in the process killing millions. standing on the white house

balcony, trump was a human bio weapon, a wmd. it was immoral and chris cuomo would know precisely how immoral it was because he had done it himself. this spring, chris cuomo got covid. you may have noticed, they did like 27 shows in a row about it. he told us he was quarantined in his basement, but let's be honest, there are only so many squats you can do in the mirror, it got boring so chris cuomo secretly left his house, took off his mask -- oh, yes, ladies and gentlemen -- and wandered around the hamptons. while wandering, he promptly ran into this man who wondered what he was doing and ask himself. and here's what happened next. >> and i just said "don't you have the coronavirus"? shouldn't be quarantined"? and i think his next words were what do you know about this, what you know about the rules, i

said you're not supposed to be out here, nobody has gloves on, nobody had masks on. >> tucker: okay, so it turns out chris cuomo doesn't think he should have to wear a mask outside. this is the point in the show where we wax outrage. he works on a rival network, we just can't believe he did that. we hate chris cuomo because he didn't wear a mask. we are not going to tell you that. we will tell you the truth, it's fine that he didn't wear a mask outside, we are not judging him. masks are great, they have their place, surgeons wear masks and operating rooms, people were masks and elevators, good for them, it probably helps. we've been arguing that for six months, before the surgeon general himself recommended masks. we thought why would masks be a bad idea? so we are not against masks, we never will be, but wearing a mask while you ride your bike? while you jog? when you're alone in your car, while you're walking in the woods, when you're standing on the beach? that's just insane.

that's an insult to science. it's an insult to common sense. rules like that make people cynical when you force them to do unreasonable things. they will never believe you again. rules like that help no one and yet they are ubiquitous. in many democratic-controlled juristic jurisdictions, masks are required outside. it's the law. you have no choice. it rules like that are not about public health. rules like that are a form of obedience training. they are trying to see what they can make you do. they can make you do a lot, it turns out. most of the time we do what they tell us. we don't say anything. partly because people like chris cuomo harangue us if we disobey the rules. chris cuomo calls us immoral for doubting the rules and then in private he whips off his mask the second he can. here are pictures of chris cuomo this weekend standing at a restaurant in long island, cigar in his hand, but no mask.

again, we don't judge chris cuomo. chris cuomo judges us. and that's the point. nancy pelosi judges us too. watch pelosi tell you that you've got no choice but to wear a mask at all times. >> members and staff will be required to wear masks at all times. this is a mask from all over the country of getting these masks. real men wear masks in these masks are essentially important. the chair views the failure to wear a mask as a serious breach of decorum. but in any case, i'm a big believer in wearing a mask and not sharing any, shall we say, air unnecessarily. >> tucker: real men wear masks. so you're a wuss if you don't wear masks. wait a second, defined man for us if you would? i thought you didn't believe in gender? you didn't believe -- you're not

a real man if you don't want -- what are you even saying? she's not saying anything. she's just judging you. and she's lying as she does it. we already played to the tape of pelosi mocking her own command, slinking around a hair salon with no masks. that was fine with us, but not with her. we also showed you dianne feinstein of san francisco hanging around a private air terminal and fbl without a mask after she called for a law requiring you and all commercial airline passengers to wear masks. so these people are hypocrites, obviously. but it's worse than that. they are self-righteous. hypocrisy and self-righteousness are twins. they go together. one feeds the other, but both are poisonous habits of mind. as soon as you begin to take yourself seriously, thomas merton once rode, and imagine that your virtues were important because they are yours, you become the prisoner of her own vanity. that is true.

but they're not the only prisoners. suddenly all of us are prisoners of their vanity. this summer, the vapid governor of california made a propaganda video informing his citizens of our biggest state that if they don't wear masks at all times, whether those mask help anyone or not, they are bad people. here's part of it. >> the sweaty faces in the hidden smiles. the foggy glasses and the sore ears. the determined flux and the muffled laughs. a simple piece of fabric mix a big statement. let's all do our part to slow the spread. wear a mask. >> tucker: what happened to all the watchdogs that are supposed to be at protecting us from state media and government propaganda? they are all nodding in assent. a simple piece of fabric makes a big statement, i care. but what if it doesn't help

anyone? sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. has there ever been shallower virtue signaling? underneath all of this is cruelty, by the way, and judgment of view. the democrats hold every statewide office understand that totalitarians operate as a society, any people to cooperate. so the more people turn on each other and snatch and micromanage one another's lives, the easier their job of control will be. people without loyalty to each other are easy to command. that's the point. and with that in mind, the official twitter account of the office of california governor gavin newsom has taken to dictating how people chew their food. this is how we are responding to the pandemic, managing how people chew their food. on saturday his twitter feed told us this, "going out to eat with members of your household this weekend? don't forget to keep her mask on in between bites." do your parto keep those around you healthy."

what are the odds that gavin newsom, alone in his gated estate, keeps his mask on between bites? we are not bookies, but we will tell you, roughly speaking, the odds are zero. he doesn't do that but he judges you if you don't. and he didn't stop there. the state of california wants you to know that seeing your friends is out of the question. human contact itself is dangerous. "a solo bike ride with a mask is a say for all alternative to playing basketball with your friends." that's what his office rode last month and there are many more messages like this, if you want to wrecker afternoon, read them. orwell in doesn't to describe it. there's so much that maxine waters has decided to can ignore the commands completely. back in july you may remember, she was all for masks. in fact, she told that herman cain deserved to die from coronavirus because he didn't wear a mask at a trump rally. herman cain was a bad person,

maxine declared, he had it coming. >> i'm going to send my condolences to the family of herman cain, who was a presidential candidate. who was a good friend of the president, who happened to have been at the rally in tulsa, junh a group of people around him with no masks on and he's dead. he died. he of course contracted the virus as a result of his attendance without a mask there. >> tucker: oh, he didn't wear a mask and he died. he deserved it. that's what you get when you don't wear a mask, you die and no one mourns her passing, because you're a bad person. it goes without saying that maxine waters takes masks seriously. [laughs] of course she doesn't. and today we proved it, we talked to a man called jason, he told us he saw maxine waters recently and guess what she wasn't wearing? i think you know the answer.

she wasn't wearing a mask. so he confronted her. it's all on video. here's part of that video. >> your thinking about covid. >> i'm coming out of here, my masking -- >> you've got to have your mask on, right? >> that's right. that's right. we got our masks. >> tucker: that's right, and i have my mask on. not a big deal, it's not looking herman cain or something. we are not thinking through the message behind all of this or its consequences. democrats are framing total and unthinking obedience to their policies, which are haphazard, irrational, and not rooted in science. they are framing obedience to these things as a matter of morality and the media is totally fine with that. they don't even care when the people who make the rules ignore them. only the rest of us are evil when we disobey. how about the governor of virginia, ralph northam? ralph northam loves masks. ralph northam has been wearing

masks long before they were fashionable. 30 years ago when almost nobody thought to wear a face covering, ralph northam was concerned enough about public health that he put on a hood. that's all concerned it was. of course he's a doctor, a man of science. i'm your mask isn't enough. he wore a hood with little eyes cut out of it. as governor, northam made it a crime in the commonwealth of virginia not to wear a mask. in may, he demanded that everyone wear a face covering in public. >> and wear a face covering in public. we know that when most people wear masks, that goes a long way towards reducing the spread of the disease. as i have said before, wearing a mask could literally save someone else's life. >> tucker: caught wearing a clan hood -- he got to say he leaned into it though. now everyone has to. amazingly -- and maybe it's not so amazing -- a day after saying that, he appeared in public in virginia beach, virginia, with,

guess what, no mask. guess what the media said? virtually nothing. no one said ralph northam had it coming when in the end he got the coronavirus. apparently he wasn't a good enough person to avoid the disease. that's really the message. he is sick now just like donald trump, that's how it works, right? this is a medieval stander that we are suddenly applying. this isn't science, this is medieval superstition. very common 600 years ago. in the middle ages, ordinary criminals went through what's called a trial by ordeal. they didn't sit through a jury. they were forced to plunge their hands into boiling water or walk barefoot across glowing metal, hot plowshares or molten lead port on their chest. why? to find out whether they did it or not. if they died after being tortured, they were guilty. if they survived the torture, they were innocent. for hundreds of years this was the standard in europe. health equal virtue, illness

equaled sin. all of a sudden we are returning to that standard. he is sick, therefore he's bad. where is this going? how long before we start lecturing cancer patients for their tumors? how long before we start blaming people without farmers for their dementia? that could be coming sooner than we think. at msnbc, one anchor was enraged when someone suggested the left hasn't been consistent on masks. he wrote this, "the most humane and reasonable way to deal with all these people, if we survived this, is some kind of truth and reconciliation commission." sounds like a joke, but it wasn't. thousands of people liked that post, a truth and reconciliation commission, if we survived covid, for the deniers. they'll get what they deserve. it's an inquisition, that's what they're calling for. that's what any inquisition the goal isn't truth or justice, its power. but on your mask in between bites as you sit around the dinner table and there won't be any problems.

otherwise there will be. if you've watched the show recently, you saw that we interviewed a chinese neurologist. she just told us that china deliberately created the coronavirus in a lab. that's the claim she made, she published a paper backing up that claim. now her mother has been arrested in china. that dr. joins us after the break for an update on what happened. ♪

♪ >> tucker: last month on the show we had an amazing interview, we talked to a chinese neurologist. she told us that the chinese government created the coronavirus in a lab in wuhan. she said the government she believes released on purpose. she coauthored a paper explaining her findings. it's an amazing claim, and you'd think that our media would want to get to the bottom of this pandemic, which has completely upended our country, but instead they ignored her claims and fact-checkers in silicon valley immediately censored it. now authorities in china reportedly have arrested her mother. apparently in retribution for what she has said. so we wanted to speak to the doctor again and she joins us again. thanks so much for coming on.

>> good evening. >> tucker: i'm sorry to hear about your mother, please tell you what you can about where she is and what's happening. >> first, i want to thank everyone who cares about my family. i didn't mention it before, but now is the first time i want to tell people that. this is not the first time my mom and my other family members get arrested by the chinese communist party. as i know, also i cut off most connection with my family directly. this is the fourth time my mom, 63 years old, teacher, got arrested by chinese communist party. i'm the only child in my family. my mom has done nothing wrong. the only thing they arrest my mom and send her to beijing is because i tell the truth of covid-19, which chinese government feel angry about. what they have done is try to

make me silent. for foreign audience, this may be difficult to understand, but it is common sense for our chinese people in our daily lives. chinese communist party can use no reason to arrest anyone just because you make them unhappy. or you try to reveal the truth. and you can say that for mr. mr. president these days, so he got covid-19 and if you say the media from china, you will say that chinese communist party and they brainwash people. not only for mr. president, also for his grandkids, they [indiscernible] even farther way of covid-19. so that is the truth of the chinese communist party government, and that's why from

beginning at won't take my life, risk, and also my family to come to u.s. to tell people the truth about covid-19. >> tucker: you are a physician, you are a researcher. you presented your findings, you publish them into codifferent papers and for doing that, your family has been arrested. has any group in the united states, scientific group, the so-called scientific community, nih, cdc, world health organization, has anyone issued a statement in support of your right to present your research without being punished for it? >> first, i want to clarify that this time my mom get arrested is because i went to fox news last time and also your interview. they are angry. and the other thing is, for my publications, the first one, it was the next actually, already previewed by the people, the

senior people in the top expert from u.s. government before published. [indiscernible] in a positive feedback but i didn't get the public statement supporting it from any kind of big organization of scientific work, including w.h.o., nih, cdc or others. and actually i got a lot of misinformation attacking me from some scientists. >> tucker: you. i just wanted that to be really clear to our viewers, so what we are watching is the death of free inquiry, of science itself. we are not endorsing her findings, they are in the public for people to assess. they are in english, they are online, anyone can read them, but rather than debate them, we are trying to squelch them and our scientific community is watching it happen. you are a brave person, i appreciate your coming on the

show. godspeed to your family and to you, i hope you're safe, thank you. >> thank you. i will publish the next scientific report very soon. thank you. >> tucker: good, we will be watching. an update to a story we did. in june, rioters from black lives matter stormed onto the property from st. louis, they broke their gait and they say threatens their lives. this a major development tonight in the story, judge jeanine joins us to explain what it is. that's next. ♪

♪ >> tucker: we've got a fox news alert. there are developments in the story that with been playing up for quite some time of st. louis couple mark and patricia mccloskey. hundreds of blm activists stormed onto the property where they were having dinner. the mccloskey's they threatened their lives. today a grand jury in st. louis indicted the mccloskey's, not

the mob, on charges of unlawful use of a weapon, which they brandished and chamfering with -- tampering with evidence. they are accusing prosecutors of tampering with evidence in order to support those charges. what exactly is going on here? it seems like upside down world. jeanine pirro has been following the story from the beginning. the author of the book "don't lie to me and stop trying to steal our freedom." she joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. so you would think of a group of people come onto your property and threaten your life, they'd be the ones indicted, but the mccloskeys were indicted. how does that work? >> in this upside down world -- look, tucker, this is a political prosecution brought by a renegade prosecutor, funded with $200,000 from the soros pac, who decides that she is going to charge to people on their own property in their own home with the unlawful use of a weapon and tampering, for which they face up to four years in jail as well as loss of their

license to practice law, both of them being attorneys. and you know, if you can just imagine that it's sunday afternoon or sunday evening, you're about to have a barbecue with your wife and then you hear a crowd and all of a sudden the security gate to your area is knocked down. if you call 911, there is no response. you call the police, there's no response. the security guard is nowhere to be found. you know, what are you going to do? there is a column of people -- not a few protesters -- a column of people and my source tells me, who has access to the beginning of this protest by these so-called peaceful protesters, and they are everything but that, that they were brandishing weapons themselves, that they were armed. that they were threatening the family, but of course, with the media goes to is only that part that implicates in some way the mccloskeys, but make no mistake, these people were threatening to burn the home, to move into the

home, to kill the mccloskeys. he had no other choice and they had the right to defend themselves. and in the end, based upon what happened here, the indictment of these two is -- it's a total shock and a violation, i think, of their constitutional rights. it's backwards. >> tucker: but the soros-backed prosecutor is sending a very clear message to the rest of us, witches submit, you don't have a right to defend yourself or your property from the mob. that's what they're telling the country. >> yeah, and they're telling the country that you protesters can do whatever you want, you can burn things down, you'll get away with it because we are not going to prosecute you, that we are finding prosecutors who are pro-criminal and anti-law enforcement. and that is an upside down world. >> tucker: you. where is this going? we should all think about that. judge jeanine, great to see you tonight, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> tucker: we learned a lot about kamala harris recently. if we are also learning more

about what the obama administration and joe biden knew about the russia collusion hoax that dominated really the president's first term and our media for three years. former saa director john brennan's handwritten notes were declassified today. pretty remarkable that he wrote down what he did. we will tell you what he wrote down, after the break. ♪ our home was burned to the ground

in the tubbs fire. the flames, the ash, it was terrifying. thousands of family homes are destroyed in wildfires. families are forced to move and higher property taxes are a huge problem. prop 19 limits taxes on wildfire victims so families can move without a tax penalty.

nineteen will help rebuild lives. vote 'yes' on 19. traffic and air pollution will be even worse after the pandemic. that's why we support measure rr to keep caltrain running. which is at risk of shutdown because of the crisis. to keep millions of cars off our roads, to reduce air pollution and fight climate change. and measure rr helps essential workers like me get to work and keep our communities healthy. relieve traffic. reduce pollution. rescue caltrain. [all] yes on measure rr.

>> our intelligence community just came out and said in the last few days that the kremlin, meaning putin and the russian government, are directing the attacks, the hacking, on american accounts to influence our election. we have never in a history of our country been in a situation where an adversary, a foreign power is working so hard to influence the outcome of the election and believe me, they're not doing it to get me elected. >> tucker: that was hillary clinton in 2016. if they've never stopped talking like that. russia!

they're undermining our democracy! as china takes over the world. back then was part of hillary's strategy to smear donald trump as a russian agent and of course as you well know, it worked. today we learned much more about how american intelligence officials knew about the plan at the time and participated in it to some extent. the director of national intelligence now, john ratcliffe, has declassified handwritten notes from former cia director john brennan, a leftist in a partisan. the notes discussed intelligence that hillary clinton had approved a proposal from "one of her foreign policy advisors" to vilify donald trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the russian security service. just a few minutes ago on twitter the president tweeted that he has "authorized the total declassification of any and all documents pertaining to the russia hoax." why didn't he do that two years ago? what he's doing it now, and what will we learn about what joe biden knew about all of this? sean davis is the cofounder of "the federalist," we are happy to have him on tonight to

untangle this web. it's a lot for coming on. so what have we learned in this new tranche of documents? >> so we learned that the knowledge of what hillary's campaign was doing went to the highest levels of the u.s. government. it wasn't just at the fbi. the cia knew it, the director knew it. the president of the united states was briefed on of any oval office and the russians knew it. and that's important because as the fbi was pretending to look into whether trump was colluding with the russians, our own intelligence services knew that russia was aware of quentin's plan, and therefore able and possibly likely, to start injecting disinformation of their own into her entire process, which is what actually happened. >> tucker: i mean, it seems like -- apart intelligence is new this and then sat impassively, in some cases actively participated in this endless hoax for three years, then -- i mean, they were undermining democracy.

and they should be punished for that, and none of them have been, they haven't even been unmasked. >> you're exactly right. this wasn't just some sort of like silly game that had no real consequences or implications. these people used this to cast doubt on our election. they talk about the integrity of our democracy. they were the ones crapping all over it. after trump was inaugurated they went and hijacked the presidency. they tried to cripple it. they put in this completely bogus special counsel based on false pretenses to cripple the administration heading right into the 2018 elections and the problem is if nobody is made to pay for this, if nobly goes to prison, it's going to happen again, and when it happens again, because these people are going to be complete emboldened by the lack of accountability, it will be far worse, even though that may be hard to imagine. far worse than what they did in 2016, which itself was criminal. >> tucker: it's not even about trump, it's about the country. do you want to live in a place where the cia operates indefinitely from the president

against a favor parties political enemies? i can imagine anything more third world and what about the current cia director? what does she know about all of this? i hope you will come back someday because we want to be back, there's too much news. thank you for expanding on that. >> thank you. >> tucker: speaking of news, the former first lady, michelle obama, who really doesn't like politics, she wanted to know, released a long, totally overheated political video today. she wants america to know she's very disappointed in our country, because it's racist! wire rich ladies so mad? that's part of the question. there are others. we will get reaction to all of this from candace owens next. ♪ and non-24 can make me show up too early... or too late. or make me feel like i'm not really "there." talk to your doctor, and call 844-234-2424.

michelle obama wants you to know, don't believe your lying eyes. the former first lady released a 24 minute video today telling you if you came to the conclusion the left was rioting, your racist. >> only a tiny fraction of demonstrations have had any violence at all. so what the president is doing is once again patently false. it's morally wrong, and yes, it it is racist. >> tucker: it's racist. here on martha's vineyard in our $12 million house things are fine. soulcycle is open, what's the problem? will notice if you watch the video, and you should, michelle obama does not condemn the violence. she just presents it didn't really happen. so what is going on in our country according to michelle obama? apparently gangs of white, white supremacists are on the loose.

>> imagine how it feels to wake up every day and do your very best to uphold the values that this country claims to hold dear, truth, honor, decency, only to have those efforts met by scorn. not just by your fellow citizens, but by a sitting president. to walk around your own country scared that someone's unjustified fear of you could put you in harm's way. a racial slur from a passing car, a job promotion that never comes. a routine traffic stop gone wrong, may be a need to neck. >> tucker: why do left-wing rich ladies get so breathy when they make political videos? and why are they also angry? wire the rich ladies so angry? who is oppressing the millionaires? someone is. candace owens may know the answer. she is the author "blackout: how

black america can escape from the second american plantation." thanks for coming on. i know there are a lot of oppressed and angry rich ladies out there. who is oppressing them? >> i cannot answer that question for you, unfortunately. what i can say is that michelle obama today, she destroyed whatever good was left of obama's legacy, barack obama's legacy, with this video. it's breathtaking because it's so polar opposite from a barack obama that we saw when he was running for election and i remember seeing that barack obama, a barack obama who was asked, baited, wants to say if you do not win this election, senator, do you think it's because america isn't ready, the application being that america was not ready -- >> tucker: i remember that. >> and you remember what he said? he said, you know what, if i don't win, no, it's because i failed to deliver on a vision and a promise that americans could believe in. it was an incredibly courageous response that i believe won him the election because he believed

in america and he basically said to americans that day, even if i don't win, i still believe in america. it's not because of the color of my skin. michelle obama did the exact opposite. if she looked at america in a 25 minute video and she said to americans if you don't vote the way that i tell you to vote, it's because you are backwards and it's because you're wrong. it's because this country is inherently wrong and racist. i can think of no greater way to completely destroy everything that barack obama accomplished in 2008 and it's actually quite sad. >> tucker: i couldn't agree with you more. i hadn't thought of that, i think it's a really smart point. i wonder why they're doing it. so biden is way ahead in a pulse, i'm just being honest, he is. he's more ahead than hillary was in 2016, so on some level you think they probably don't need to do this. she clearly means it or she wouldn't do it. why do you think she is doing it? >> i really have always thought that the obama's unfortunately don't have much control over their own life and narrative. they took a lot of money to get into the white house, all a lot of favors and i really do see them as dnc operatives at this

point and it's sad to see because they really could've used this moment to bring the country together and i think barack obama definitely tried that in his covid-19 messaging, but michelle obama has gone an entirely different route and quite frankly, she's really bad at acting. this is theatrical, it was cringeworthy and it was uncomfortable to watch. >> tucker: i completely agree. this, of all moments, is a moment where you would someone -- like someone to say let's put on our differences, here are the things we have in common, let's focus on them, and what a shame that they're not doing this. she has a lot of authority, actually, not with me but with most people she's very popular. [indiscernible]. >> actually think this was her basket of deplorables moment and i think this is going to have the exact opposite desired effect. you can't just keep telling americans that they are backwards and wrong, these are the americans, michelle, if you're watching tonight, these are the americans that voted her husband into office twice. america is not a racist country. do we have pockets of racism? sure. but that is not the

interpretation of our country as a whole. >> tucker: that's right. candace owens, every time you're on you say something i haven't thought of that i appreciate. thank you. we will be back tomorrow, 8:00 p.m., the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and groupthink. vp debate tomorrow, sean hannity now. >> sean: thanks, tucker, welcome to hannity. we begin a fox news alert. if this is massive breaking news, the president just tweeted this out. "i have now fully authorized the total declassification of any and all documents pertaining to the single greatest political crime in american history. in other words, the russia hoax and likewise, the hillary clinton email scandal, no reductions. this is a big deal, and by the way, should lead to a troves of declassified material. again, without the reductions. we will have a lot more of this coming up. you will see how sinister all of this was from the get-go and it should shock the conscience of our nation. but first, there's only 28 d
