tv   Tucker Carlson Tonight  FOX News  December 10, 2020 5:00pm-6:00pm PST

5:00 pm
foxnews.com. i talk to a 100-year-old world war ii veteran, james smith, about his time serving as a member of the battalion. that is our story tonight. we thank you so much for being here, look forward to seeing you tomorrow night. thanks, everybody, good night. ♪ >> tucker: good evening, and welcome to cohen. october surprise, you have heard that term. it is political slang for a damaging new story that appears in the final days of the campaign. this year, we had one, one of the biggest october surprise is for "the new york post," the oldest daily newspaper in this country, published a trove of documents showing members of joe biden's family have been selling access to the and former vice president to a number of foreign governments, including the communist government of china. now, that is a blockbuster. but the rest of the media decided to kill it before you could read it.
5:01 pm
social media companies banned their users from sharing "the new york post"'s reporting. others news organization simply ignored it. on october 22nd, 11 days before the presidential election, national public radio, the organization that is literally state media, funded against your will buy your tax dollars, issued the following statement: mbr explained they would not say anything negative about the bidens come in here is why, "we do not want to waste our time on stories that are not rey stories. we do not want to waste the listeners and readers time on stories that are just pure distraction." you are probably thinking, that is the single dumbest, most dishonest, high-handed, infuriatingly arrogant thing i have ever heard. but if you feel that way, obviously you don't watch cnn. on that same day, october 22nd, and rnc spokesperson, liz harrington, made the mistake of submitting to an interview with christiane amanpour.
5:02 pm
harrington had hoped to talk about the bidens business deals. amanpour is, and we are quoting here, "cnn's cheap international anchor." here's how it went. >> as you know perfectly well, i am a journalist and reporter and i follow the facts, and there has never been any issue in terms of corruption -- now let me ask you this. yesterday, the -- >> wait, wait, how do they know that? >> i am talking about reporting and any evidence. i am talking to you now -- >> okay, i would love -- >> no, we are not going to do your work for you. i want to ask you a question. >> it's a journalist's job to find out if this is verified. >> tucker: as you know perfectly well, i am a journalist and he reporter, says christiane amanpour, who of course, is neither of those things. and never has been. christiane amanpour is a celebrity script reader, half-wit, whose self-esteem far out phases her accomplishments.
5:03 pm
she is also, it turns out, the personal flack for the biden family international finance corporation. that is not in her twitter bio, but it is pretty obvious. that have never been any issues of corruption with the bidens, amanpour announced, as if she hadn't just been confronted with some. and so it went, just like that come along the entire news medi, until the election. now, six weeks later, it is finally safe to speak freely, and so the truth is coming out. we now know "the new york post" was right all along. so was poor liz harrington of the rnc. yesterday, millions of americans learned, some for the very first time, that the biden family has indeed been deeply enmeshed in a series of sleazy international business deals that undercut america's court interests. we learned there is an active federal criminal investigation into joe biden's son, hunter, for that very reason. what is interesting is how we found this out. the media didn't tell us.
5:04 pm
neither did the justice department. hunter biden has far better connections than, say, roger stone. hunter biden was allowed to tell his own story. he was not roasted from bed at 5:00 a.m. from dozens of armed paramilitaries. he wasn't arrested in his boxer shorts live on cnn. no, no, no, he is a prominent democrat, so he was spared those simulations. he said the biden-harris transition team broke the news in a bizarre press release that informed us with a straight face that joe biden was "deeply proud of his boy hunter," who by the way may have had minor tax troubled that will be cleared up the minute his account returns from kabul. thanks for the heads up. you might have guessed this, it turns out there is more. a report in "politico" today reveals that joe biden's younger brother jimmy is involved, too. this was a family business, keep in mind. jimmy biden is also under federal criminal investigation for corruption in the hospital business. we don't know more than that, and we should stress that he is
5:05 pm
presumed innocent until proved otherwise by a court peers. he is not a felon yet, will keep you updated. none of this comes as a complete surprise. at the time, we talked to tony bobulinski about what he saw. bobulinski was a business partner of the bidens as they try to wee wedo money from commt china. 20 by belinsky was a businessman and he began to wonder what the hell is going on? and are interview, bobulinski described one of his interviews with biden, wanted to know why the biden family was so brazen about peddling joe's influence to oligarchs and enemies of united states. was that not a risk? here's how jimmy biden responded. >> and i remember looking at jim biden and saying, "how are you
5:06 pm
guys getting away with this? aren't you concerned?" and he looked at me and he laughed a little bit and said, "plausible deniability." >> he said that out loud? >> yes, he said it directly on me, one on one in the peninsula hotel. >> tucker: "plausible deniability." in your business partner tells you that your business strategye deniability, that's not reassuring, and it certainly wasn't reassuring to tony bobulinski. why would it be? the independent media would not be fooled by plausible deniability, either, they would demand answers. what exactly were you doing? let's see the document. but they didn't. when "the new york post" published the outline of the story, the media race defined its own plausible deniability. some reason, any reason not to report this story. any reporter who broke rank and decided to state the facts was quickly disciplined and brought to heel. "politico"'s jake sherman, for
5:07 pm
example, apologized in public for the crime of discussing "the new york post" story after twitter suspended him for posting it, for posting facts. "i tweeted a link to "the new york post" story right after a drop yesterday. i immediately reached out to the biden campaign to see if they had been the answer. i wish i had given the story a closer read before i tweeted it." in other words, "bless me cnn, for i have sinned." over at cbs news, a kid called bo erickson did not get the memo on the boundaries of the new journalism, so he tried to get joe biden himself to respond to the story, and here's how it went. >> mr. biden, this story -- >> i knew you would ask, it's a smear campaign. it's right up your alley, that's what you always asked. >> tucker: "yeah, you are a smear merchant," says joe biden to a guy he has never seen before and doesn't recognize. everyone looks to the same to joe biden, it is all kind of a blur. but he attacks bo erickson of
5:08 pm
cbs news as a liar and a propagandist. what is so interesting is not of bo erickson's colleagues in the news media came to his defense. in fact, several former flacks for barack obama mocked him on social media, and again, his colleagues stayed silent. now, we are being told to pretend that none of this ever happened. it is all down the memory hole. in an article published today in "the daily beast," probably the single worst example of bad journalism on the internet, we learned that, "evidence of a larger hunter biden probe was apparent in the markings on a series of documents that were made public, but went largely unnoticed in the days leading up to the election." "largely unnoticed?" well, of course. the middle of a presidential campaign, front page story about one of the candidates doing business with our main global enemy, but somehow nobody noticed. just weird, unaccountable, how did that happen? one group we did notice where
5:09 pm
the professional liars and our so-called intel community, the ones who were hand in glove with so-called journalists in our media. shortly after "the new york post" story ran, a number of people, i'll start propagandist like jim clapper and john brennan, people who have lied in public under oath and never been published, they denounced "the new york post" story as soviet-style disinformation. the stories they said, had "all that your marks of a russian disinformation operation." they didn't expend what that meant. at the seals they are, they clapped in unison, "russia! russia! russia!" >> regurgitating, repeating, and disseminating this information that he knows to be fabricated and supplied by a foreign intelligence service, and despite the warning, he is still doing it. >> he has said this entire thing is obviously a russian flat. it is to me and i was never even
5:10 pm
an ambassador. [laughs] tell me why it is so obviously a russian -- >> routing functioning as a russian asset. >> those emails we just talked about our connected to a ongoing russian disinformation effort. >> tucker: huh. just obviously a russian plot. obviously none of these people should ever appear on television again, and i doubt they will. some are saying we need to go farther to find out what actually happened. there are calls tonight for a new special prosecutor to investigate what we have learned so far about the biden family business dealings abroad. let's be honest, as much as we are anxious to find out the truth, and indeed it is important to come a special prosecutor is something that no one in this country should be eager to see, no matter what side you are on. we have seen over the past four years what a special prosecutor can do to the normal functioning of a government. open-ended investigations into
5:11 pm
politicians are hallmarks of corrupt regimes and dictatorships, and most americans are skeptical of those kinds of probes, and rightly so. but i must media start doing its job and telling us what our politicians are up to, the justice department and bill barr may have no choice. and if they do move forward with the special prosecutor, they will have one unlikely supporter: joe biden himself. last year, joe biden went on the record confirming that he would not interfere with any justice department investigation. >> looked, i would not direct my justice department like this president does. i'd let them make their independent adjustment. i would not dictate who should be prosecuted or who should be exonerated. that is not the role of the president of the united states. follow the law, let the justice department make the judgment as to whether or not someone should be prosecuted, period. >> tucker: uh-huh. we will see if he lives up to that. at the current president was
5:12 pm
"directing the justice department for political ends," he did not do an effective job of it. robert mueller spent millions of dollars, spent many years ruining lives, purely as a favor to people who could not believe that donald trump really beat hillary clinton. this country might not survive another investigation like that. on the other hand, you've got to wonder how long a democracy can survive. a leadership class like the one we have now. john davis has followed the story since the very first day, and cofounder of "the federalist," and he joins us tonight with the latest. great to see you. congratulations on how you have been vindicated in your suspicions. what do we know now, what has been confirmed by was written off just a few weeks ago as russian disinformation? >> well come i think the most important thing that has been confirmed as the biden family is being criminally investigated by federal authorities for a whole host of issues, tax evasion, money laundering, potentially fraud, racketeering.
5:13 pm
back in october when "the new york post" and other outlets, including the one i work for, published that, we were suppressed, we were censored, big tech tried to shut us down, and it's important we have learned the truth of what is going on with hunter biden, but we actually learned a really important lesson about how irreparably corrupt our media is. for the purposes of stealing the election, they censored news they didn't like to favor their preferred candidate, and now they are pretending like it all never happened, like it is somehow news to them that hunter biden is under federal investigation. we have known this for weeks. we have known for months because we reported it back in may that james biden had been accused of fraud and racketeering, the fbi had raided the offices of a company of which he has an investor back in january. yet, the corrupt media, for the sole purpose of getting their guy elected, suppressed and censored that information for months. to me, that is a must as big a crime is whatever hunter or jimmy b did.
5:14 pm
>> very little attention has been paid to jimmy biden, the former nightclub owner who has been dropping off his brother success for 50 years. the kind of dismissed it as a tax on former vice president's drug addicted son. but the jimmy biden piece of this seems significant, as well, to me. >> it is, because it was james biden who was involved in these same deals. tony bobulinski made clear that when they had their deal with, i think was cefc and china, he was taking his 10% or 20%. now, i don't think james biden is known as being a super successful international businessman, and certainly no one will accuse hunter biden of that. they were selling the biden family name to the highest bidder, and that is one thing, when the vice president, your dad, your brother is out of office, but now he is the incoming president, and they made it known to the entire world of the biden family is for sale. that is a huge problem, especially after we spent four years being told there is a russian agent in the white house, because trump made a joke about hillary's emails.
5:15 pm
>> tucker: sean davis with "the federalist," great to see you tonight. >> thank you. >> tucker: glenn greenwald is an independent journalist. he left his former job over this story. he resigned in protest because he was not allowed to report on it. he joins us tonight with reaction. glenn, thanks for coming on. you can make the argument these charges aren't a big deal, that we shouldn't care. people can make, i think, legitimate arguments. you can't pretend this didn't happen, and yet, it was just last month that you were attacked personally, a lot of people were attacked, even for bringing it up. what's your reaction now that you have been vindicated? >> well, i still think we need to recognize what a historic crime and disgrace this is, not only in journalism, but as soon as these documents became known, the operatives in the intelligence community, the cia, john brennan, james clapper, michael hayden, all of the standard professional liars, issued a letter claiming this material was the hallmark of
5:16 pm
russian information, disinformation, actually, even though they had no basis for thinking that, and that gave the media permission to lie to the public continuously, and silicon valley to censor these materials, so not only did the public not become aware of them, they were lied to, not only by claiming that russia was involved, even though there was zero evidence they were and no one thinks that, but also by calling it disinformation, the implication was these documents were forgeries, but now we know the criminal investigation that has been ongoing, it is about the very transactions these documents covered. this is an incredible crime by the corporate media and a light to the public, and ferrying information before an election, but also come again, domestic interferencinterference by intee agencies to many play the outcome of our election. >> tucker: is only ten or 15 years ago were that big news organizations like cnn, nbc reported on our intelligence
5:17 pm
services with some level of skepticism because they are powerful institutions and you need to keep them in check, it's our job. i don't anymore, do you think? >> well, i think the intelligence services in the trump era became one of the leading bulwarks against the trump movement, so the media partnered with them based on the premise that the trump presidency was dangerous, which is fine, if the media really wants to believe that the trump presidency poses a danger, that is their prerogative. but what they don't have the right to do is become disinformation agents, and the cia and all of those guys in the intelligence community were open about the fact that they wanted donald trump to lose and they wanted to sabotage his presidency. remember, chuck schumer told rachel maddow, in early 2017, that the cia was going to sabotage trump's presidency if he continued to criticize them, and that was the story of the last four years. a union between the intelligence agencies that fed lies to the media that mindlessly repeated it for their own truth.
5:18 pm
>> tucker: you tangled years ago with our intelligence agencies. you up and saying this for a long time. a lot of people didn't believe you. my apologies for that. you turned out to be right. glenn greenwald, great to see you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: we are learning tonight the chinese government isn't simply targeting little-known politicians like eric swalwell earlier in their careers. he's sleeping with them against their will. they are also targeting countries, little-known countries, places like canada, our largest trading partner, the nation with which we share the longest border. canada. we will tell you the result of our investigation into this after the break. ♪ - hi, this is michael youssef.

♪ >> tucker: well, here's a story that is hard to believe israel. canada's prime minister justin trudeau invited china's people's liberation army to send its troops to canada for special cold-weather training at a base in ontario. that training was canceled after china kidnapped two of canada's citizens and tell them for years. a top aide to the prime minister then complained about the cancellation to the department of defense in canada, "canada's does not want to be the partner that is reducing normal bilaterl interactions." in other words, it is immoral
5:24 pm
for us not to train chinese soldiers, probably to kill us at some point. that's not the first time justin trudeau has sided with the communist government of china. a few years back, he marveled at how the central committee managed to keep the trains running on time. watch. >> admiration actually have for china because there basically dictatorship is allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime. >> tucker: the founder of rebel news in canada. he broke the story. amazing story. and he joins us tonight. thanks so much for coming on. i read this in my first reaction was this cannot be true. york prime minister offered to train chinese troops in canada. why would he do that? >> it is a shock to canadiens, too appear that cold-weather warfare you are referring to is
5:25 pm
just 1 of 18 different joint projects the canadian armed forces had with the people's liberation army in 2019 alone. canada is training one and two start chinese generals in our war colleges, training lieutenants and majors, commanders, sending canadians over to china, bringing chinese, i think they are not just soldiers, spies, as well, to canada, and i don't know a single person is can country knew about it, and it's been happening, and we found out about it really by accident limit government suddenly freedom of information documents have been forgot to black them outcome or frankly someone inside the government wanted to blow the whistle on this incredibly upside down relationship. in those same memos you're talking about, trudeau's office
5:26 pm
was supporting china and condemning trump. they are trying to get the military on side, too. >> tucker: with respect, we are americans, so our concerns the united states. canada is our biggest trading partner, we have the closest relationship with canada of any country, obviously, in the world. this seems like an obvious threat to american national security. does the trump administration believe that? >> in fact, in these memos, you could see the trump administration warned canada that this winter warfare training would transfer knowledge to china that could be used. now, they don't explain, would it be used to take on uighurs in chin jang, tibetans to fight in india, or even to fight us? and when the military, the canadian military, set our american allies, or our allies are concerned about this, trudeau staff pushed back and said this is just the trump administration, or is anyone
5:27 pm
else worried about it? so there is an antipathy toward america that seeps through all of these secret documents and the overarching goal is to let china's president she's in pain save face. i want to tell you, that is not the view shared by grassroots canadians. ever since china kidnapped those two civilians two years ago today, actually, canadian public opinion has hardened against china, and the last few poll i saw actually says canadians are more hostile to china that americans are. >> tucker: you have every reason to be. ezra, regulations, and congratulations on rebel news. you do a lot of work. >> thank you. >> tucker: the residents of the new ch a z have a message. autonomous zones will not be the same again. more on that after the break. a noble purpose. we want to be known as america's mortgage company

the situation with eric swalwell i think it's unforgivable. i think you should be removed from the intelligence committee immediately. i don't see how we could possibly justify keeping him on there, nancy pelosi persists. >> tucker: it seems like a very clear call to me. someone who served on the inside, thank you for that. your congressional race in new york is still undecided more than a month after the election. how would you characterize the state of play right now? >> right now, the judge has ruled we have to go back and recount some of the disputed ballots, and also going to count ballots that were not put into the campus because they were removed by the board of election. this is probably going to favor us, i would say, but at the same time, it's now, what, we are going to the sixth week, and this should have been done a long time ago, and we should have looked at these, but these are mistakes by the boards of election, who, by the way, have been overwhelmed, understaffed,

anybody has caused to say "i got shafted," it seems like it's you. >> [laughs] yeah, well, certainly -- we don't like to hear about how it's being discovered in drawers a month after election day and not knowing where they are going. i am hoping that we prevail in this. i think the judge is going to make a decision on our objection. it certainly seems odd these are coming up late. >> tucker: yeah, "odd" be the word. claudia, thanks. good luck. >> thank you. >> tucker: so, here's a question you may not have considered. all of the countries on the planet, which country is the least racist? well, our next guest looked at the data, approached the question by social science, and came up with a definitive answer. be aware, if you are a highly paid diversity consultant, you might want to leave the room because she just undermined your reason for getting paid. that is straight ahead. ♪

health care system is burdened by racism. we know that our housing is burdened by racism. our schools are burdened by racism. yes, the uniform, burdened by racism. it goes far beyond that. >> it is a matter of concern for every american that we dismantle systemic racism before it ends the american project in our lifetime. >> tucker: yeah, so there is the former mckinsey consultant lecturing us about how our country, which he has done nothing but degrade, is a terrible place, and we are the reason it is. but it does raise the academic question: how racist is america, exactly? cannot be measured? well, kathleen rush nine try to measure it. she is the author of "racism and antiracism in the world before and after 1945." she joins us with the results of her study on this question. kathleen rush, thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: of course. >> america is one of the leading antiracist nations, you are right, it is the reason i wrote my book, because of people like

pete buttigieg. i have been studying racism around the world for more than a decade, including visiting 114 nations. i know what systemic racism looks like. it is opposite to the united states. the year 1945 is actually pivotal to understanding discrimination, because before it, people didn't see discrimination, they saw ordered societies. well, in 1945, fdr parlayed american victory in world war ii to get global powers to agree to end the colonial subjugation of africans, asians, and europeans come in to get all nations to agree to abolish discrimination or to end discrimination. well, come the early 1970s, america becomes the first nation to have an antiracist system of government. meanwhile, the rest of the nations, they didn't honor their commitments, they just continued
5:50 pm
right on discrimination on us they had before, so this is the reason in the 21st century you can see select populations that still experience slavery, arbitrary detention, statelessness, or just garden-variety privilege and unprivileged people. there's lots of examples in my book, but what i would like to do is i would like to cement america's antiracist bona fides, because they are so strong. african-americans are the most prosperous, educated black population in the world. america's latino gdp is the highest gdp of any latin american nation. and that includes brazil, with 3.5 times the population. asian-americans are the most educated and prosperous racial group in america. their incomes are 25% higher than whites, on average. for indian americans, household income is 60% higher.
5:51 pm
now, there is no indigenous population that has been recorded to ensure fair compensation for their land in addition to receiving wealth transfers, protected freedom, and other concessions to native americans. the year 1964, the year of our civil rights act of 1964, america's population was 87% white. today, it is 60% non-hispanic white. one comparison point, let's look at liberia, which has a population that is 100% black, because you can only be a citizen of liberia if you are black. now, there was a global survey that answered the question: how many people do not want somebody of another race -- in my not talking? how many -- sorry. how many people of another race -- how many people do not want a person of another race as
5:52 pm
their neighbor? the answer was, in the united states, 0-5%. in iran and nigeria, it was 30 30-40%. in france -- >> tucker: let me just summarize -- you are dealing with facts, and facts immediately because they systemic racism lie to evaporate into steam, and i hope that our readers will arm themselves with the facts in your book, because again, they are true. kathleen brush, thanks for coming on tonight. democrats have finally admitted that one of their party's leader, and this is sad, senile. it is not who you think it is. we will tell you who it is after the break. ♪ - hi, this is michael youssef.

>> the new york magazine out today with an article that claims dianne feinstein the senior senator from california is senile. no word yet on what the new yorker thanks of joe biden varied who assesses that lame
5:58 pm
very doctor, thank you for coming on bright a lot of builder, do you think it's fair to say that she is senile? she is 87, tucker. this was a devastating piece in the new yorker. how old is it to be a pilot committed to be a surgeon, to b a u.s. senator, how old? strohm thurman went to the age of 100, but he wasn't doing too well towards the end of 2003. dianne feinstein has a lot of things in this article, when sh was jack dorsey at a judicial committee meeting, she attacked him on his tweet that president trump's tweet, she asked him about it, she heard his answer and then repeated exactly the same over again as if she didn' remember that she'd even asked it. she's had multiple conversation according to this article with chuck schumer, senator schumer, who has been telling her, and apparently she doesn't remember the conversations and he has to come back and ask her all over again. i'm not a doctor, i liked her
5:59 pm
kindness at the judicial hearings, but they also sent in a third to keep an eye on her. the problem is that over the ag of 85, the risk of dementia or cognitive is about 40 percent and over the age of 75, there i about 20 percent. speaking with somebody who is 78 , joe biden this week, tucker, this week, announced his new choice for hhs secretary except he called him health and education secretary. health and education territory terry perry do you remember, of course you remember that in 1979 , they changed health and education and welfare over to health and human services to spin out another department of education. i'm wondering did joe biden in that moment forget? his head to aneurysms repaired, that can lead to cognitive decline. are these just gas? health and education? i don't know, tucker. but i think it bears thinking
6:00 pm
about and investigating. there are plenty of people aged over the age of 75 and 85 that are completely with it. when you start to see signs lik this can we have to pay attention whether it's a pilot or a senator, or you know what mean, tucker. >> i think for biden, it's always 1979. doctor steele, thank you. sean hannity is next right have a great night. >> good show joe and welcome to hannity. that new texas suit challenging election results in 14 battleground states is now gaining real serious significan momentum and breaking tonight, missouri, arkansas, utah, louisiana, mississippi, south carolina, they have now all filed to officially join the state of texas, not just suppor the state of texas as we mentioned last night, but joine the lawsuit with texas and president trump as parties now before the court. that is 17 states including the
