tv   Tucker Carlson Tonight  FOX News  August 12, 2022 5:00pm-6:00pm PDT

5:00 pm
i just talked about hunter. and hunter is relaxing. he took a swim in the atlantic. he is down to $20 million house that biden is not paying four. awfully strange. usually they have to do that. all right. i'm off next week. i will see you guys later. tucker is alton expected i'm watters and this is my world. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. i'm tulsi gabbard and i'm here in for tucker. the one behind the raid on mar-a-lago has been released and we have rendered details on what exactly prompted that and what joe biden's justice department was looking for. here is what we know right now. the fbi removed nearly a dozen sets of documents that the doj claims are classified.
5:01 pm
former president trump disputes this and says the records have been declassified. other documents that were seized from mar-a-lago included binders of photos and oddly clemency for roger stone. the raid was also apparently far more expensive than initially thought. they granted fbi agents the authority to seize all physical documents and records that contain evidence of crimes dating all the way back from january 20th 2017 to they don't trust left office in 2021. in other words, every single document from his presidency was potentially up for grabs. and we know the fbi waited three days to execute the raid after the judge signed off on the warrant. this was truly a matter of national security, the attorney general told us if you look at intricate want to take federal agents so long to raid mar-a-lago? to answer this and many more questions that we turn to fox news chief legal correspondent
5:02 pm
and that no host of fox news sunday, shannon bream. hi, shannon, how are you? >> reporter: great to be with you. >> tulsi: thank you so much. we get all of this new information on the legal aspects of these documents and what has been seized and what will hold up as we move forward. >> shannon: technique at what is interesting at what i'm watching for is the good stuff that is all the underlying documentation. >> we got the want to do. we thought those trying to tell people, don't get too excited. voters of that. all the good stuff we want to know what underlines the entire effort. that is not something i think that the o.g. will willingly at least. what we know is that there are a number of entities, a couple of media outlets who have filed motions to unseal all of it and the judge in this case has given the government until 5:00 p.m.
5:03 pm
on monday that a response to request. the judge is at least considering it and once we get to those things, that will give us much more information about so many gaps that we currently have in the story. >> i mean, to literally put on the line every single document that existed during the trump presidency is there a precedent for this? this seems like a gargantuan task. >> shannon: uh-huh. in this case as you know, unlike any we have ever seen before in the history of the country. a raid by federal agents on a residence that there's nothing about this that we can actually compare to anything else because it is a first of its kind in so many ways. but because of that reference to all of those presidential documents it takes us back to this argument that there has been with the national archives about presidential records. at the and his team, the former president and his legal team have said, we were having negotiations. we thought we were having a good
5:04 pm
conversation about those documents. >> jesse: thank you so much for your expertise and congratulations on being named the host of fox news sunday. i will be watching when you launch next month. thank you, shannon. for more on what the warrant means that we are going to turn to harmeet dylan carder phenomenal attorney and chairwoman of the lawyers association. thank you so much for joining us. you have been watching just as it has pinned played out kind of moment by moment. what do you make of the new developments that we have learned today? >> harmeet: what we know is that it was extremely broad like shannon just pointed out. and what we don't know and what everyone wants to know is, what was the justification presented to a federal judge to take this extraordinary step on the part of the united states department? so gently speaking to the search
5:05 pm
warrant affidavit or affidavit are not unsealed until there is an indictment and even then, of national security implications, they could be restricted to the target of that subpoena and -- or the search warrant rather and his attorneys and so it is going to be a well before we see that and i suspect, the department of justice is not keen to reveal exactly why they took this step. what we can also see is that a federal magistrate judge does have the ability and in fact i think the duty to cut back on a subpoena that seems overbroad for the circumstances back now, in reality, they often just rubberstamp them. that is a real problem in our judicial system and i think that is what happen here and my mind is blown that this can be justified in search of a former president. and so this is deeply troubling for anyone who cares about civil liberties in our country. >> tulsi: i could not agree more. has there been any discussion or what possible steps could be
5:06 pm
taken to explore any potential conflict of interest given this specific judge who approved this warrant, given his previous political contribution and kind of political leanings? >> harmeet: well, just about every judge these days has it simply, clinics or contributions. that itself is not a problem. for this specific judge has made specific negative remarks about president trump and i think they rise to the level of refusal at this point after the judge has issued the x partake search warrant, there is nothing that can be done to on one. a party who believes that eight coach ward has not executed unlawfully or overbroad or what have you can't make certain motions criminal system. there are some other moves that can be made to get the boat return of this evidence. but there are many fishy things including the government apparently was given access to the documents in june and they request to put a padlock on the room and everyone went away and thought that this was all under
5:07 pm
control on the truck side and then sadly they come in with this sort of librarian issued slot team -- swat team and i think that is very odd and what it seems to me and i'm not changing my view. this was a massive fishing exhibition. see if they can can can't -- concoct anything and that should outreach every civil libertarian. >> tulsi: this is something that is directly connected to everyone of our civil liberties. thank you so much, harmeet. i appreciate your analysis. >> harmeet: thank you. >> tulsi: legal analysts noted that it was essentially impossible for donald trump to have classified documents at mar-a-lago. they argue this because of his executive authority as president to declassified. anything he took with him to
5:08 pm
mar-a-lago it by default declassified. the former president himself said all the documents in questions work because part. the question is, will that hold up in a court of law? james is a retired fbi and he joins us now. thank you so much, james, for joining us. i really interested to hear your take on this because i hear people arguing both sides of classifications, obviously, meant to be taken very seriously. the president has the authority to declassified anything at any time for any reason. how do you respond to these arguments on both sides of this? >> james: football clubs kelsea, let's unpack that affect three levels of classification. top secret, secret and confidential. sometimes there is restrictive. but that mentors who go with those three. we know from the inventory list that they took documents of each
5:09 pm
type of those. here is where it gets interesting. you also in issues like this just like you're going back to clinton private e-mail server, there has to be the willful component to discuss right? a crime is two parts. and the thought that i'm committing a crime but president trump did not pack these boxes. whether it was gsa or some other entity in the government, the president did not pack these boxes individually. and the fact that attorneys get his and introduced of the national archives and records administration were actively engaged in working out a deal here to have them turn back over, and then they do this, i don't understand it. i don't get the -- it is mind-boggling. >> tulsi: this whole thing has been playing out all of the details you think, okay, maybe we will learn more and maybe this will start to make more sense but it seems like especially with the information that has been released today,
5:10 pm
all we have are more questions. throughout your career in the fbi, you know, have you ever seen something so expensive in any scenario with any person of interest? to me, it was shocking to hear that they wanted to look at virtually any and every document to the trump presidency. >> james: when you gets a search warrant, it is very specific. it tells you what you can look for. if you are looking for a pistol that you believe was part of the crime, a homicide, you can't look in a small jewelry box. you have to do it within those confines. what baffles me is when i heard that they dropped the foreign espionage act, where people's head are exploded and sank it this means that the president was spying. no. it is a whole host of other things and it is mishandling classified documents. it still blows my mind. >> tulsi: thank you, james.
5:11 pm
>> make a lot of great points there. the fbi's raid on mar-a-lago was a major escalation of the security state on the american public. it is but to get much worse because right here before the midterms, we are seeing these entities being politicized and weaponize back here is just one example. twitter announced it is rolling out their new misinformation rules to "protect conversation on twitter during elections." david sachs is a host of the all-in podcast. on kfan of the podcast. he joins us here. it is so great to see you. i'm smiling as we hear that new announcement from twitter to control conversation and define what misinformation is. you have a lot of background here. >> david: there are legitimate things that twitter could do to improve the integrity of elections. they could help prevent bot work spend the counts from posting if joe from idaho post something,
5:12 pm
it would be nice to know that it really is joe from idaho. the part to be concerned about is where they say that they are going to take down misinformation that could jeopardize user safety and we saw that during covid, this was the goldberg got the idea user safety that was used to take down stuff about covid and that turned out to be true and part of the problem here is that twitter's employees have a blind spot with regard to their partisan bias, something like 99% democrat. and so there's a lot of issues where they think it is misinformation but really, it is just that that is their opinion on that matter and no one has a monopoly on the truth and it is very dangerous when they start censoring information that is relevant to an election based on what they think their view of the truth is and it would be a lot better. one of the promise we have with misinformation. >> tulsi: i could not agree more. what further highlights that point's but we know of examples
5:13 pm
that have been exposed publicly how this administration has been working reckless with twitter, whether it was with that ministry of truth or more recent accounts that the biden administration was concerned about that sink we appreciate it if you -- what is this guy on twitter? why has he not been canceled and so on and so forth? it is not even a question of who they are working for, or the first amendment. >> david: you saw that, for the example with jen psaki. they are working with social networks to take don't suppose it trumpet misinformation. you know, a lot of this is not just nefarious. it is sort of the result of misunderstanding because the two sides talk past each other because twitter employees by large are part of one political bubble. he saw an example where people are talk about taking down or centering the hashtag civil war
5:14 pm
because they are saying they are actively calling for violence. that is not with they are seeing. they are concerned that a civil work is being declared on them because of this raid at mar-a-lago and things like the ministry of truth that they tried to impose which is a federal law enforcement agency. conservatives have real reason to be concerned. >> tulsi: back to the basics. civil liberties, freedom and the constitution and i think what is so concerning is that we have government finding ways to try to undermine those fundamental freedoms. thanks for all you do on this and appreciate your voice. it is great to see you, david. thank you. fbi raid on mar-a-lago earlier this week marks the beginning of a new and dangerous path for america. we will recap the week and explain what this all means straightahead. ♪ ♪

5:20 pm
equally to all americans, whether you are a republican or a democrat. we are seeing more and more that that coach reeve -- country no longer exists. whether it is the doj, the department of homeland security, the fbi and now even the irs weaponize to target the political opponents of the unit party and the biden regime. attorney general merrick garland has already issued a stark warning to anyone who dares to disagree with these tactics that are all hallmarks of a dictatorship. >> attorney general garland: let me address recent unfounded attacks on the fbi and justice department agents and prosecutors. i will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked. >> tulsi: so you are not allowed to disagree with the fbi. that is the new message. the security state will label you an extremist for daring to challenge or disagree with that regime's weaponization of law
5:21 pm
enforcement. >> attorney general garland: the y talk about defending the blue defending law enforcement officers. a fly the flag, put on the bumper sticker. and yet, if it does not suit their political purposes, then they remain silent or even attacked law enforcement officers. the senator talked about the fbi's attack on our constitutional republic, another republican senator accused them of being a third world marxist dictator and yet the silence is deafening. >> these guys are not republicans, joe. they are extremists. >> tulsi: will cain is a cohost on fox & friends weekend and is hosting the show when the news broke of the trump raid. thank you so much for joining us. it is great to see you. >> will: read to be with you,

kelsey. >> tulsi: is this america? is this the united states of america now where are attorney general, the attorney general of the united states, top law enforcement official in this country is saying that you are not allowed to disagree as an american. >> will: it is the united states of america kelsey. do not states of america is sitting on a fragile piece of thin ice and it is because the american people have lost faith on their institution. a rate that every aspect of our government has been completely and utterly politicized. policy, -- tulsi, we can't lose the forest and this has nothing to do with classified documents. this has nothing to do with that retention of in mar-a-lago. this is about as you mentioned,
5:23 pm
print washing and ensuring that donald trump is an african president of the united states and i know that, tulsi, two things. inconsistency and consistency. the inconsistency is the application of our law. the fbi is not interested in hillary clinton. it is not interested in applying the law uniformly. the consistency is that for 6 years, whether or not it was russia collusion or president trump grabbing the steering wheel, or it was hunter biden's laptop the consistency is it has been a constant attack on the presidency and the campaign of donald trump and the protection of pertinent washington. this is what the american people can now see. >> tulsi: i could not agree more in your point of how we have to take a step back and the details matter but we can't get lost in that minutia. we should all be concerned that leaders in washington are not
5:24 pm
all, whether you are a democrat or a republican, standing up and saying, hey, this is not okay. we have to ensure that these public institutions maintain their independence and integrity and accountability to the american people could not to whichever political party maybe in power. >> will: yes. i think it would be too naïve to say that this is all in service of the democratic party. it is important in service to the democratic party, but it is in-service of permanent washington. president trump threatened to take a butcher knife to the administrative state. that is the biggest threat in washington, dc and we get credit out absurdities like classified documents. nuclear code that took 18 months to put into action, that is a joke. it is more believable that elizabeth warren was saying, i would vote for you if you had a penis. that is one political reporter. it was not about nuclear codes.
5:25 pm
it was about the protection of permanent washington. >> tulsi: that is right and this is not just some theory. chuck schumer it said it in broad daylight back in 2017. when he said, hey, if you mess with the intelligence community they will screw you 10 ways from sunday. it does not get any more clear than that than a blatant statement, a message to everyone that the security state is real and don't you dare challenge them or it will have a target on your back. >> will: yeah, and as recently as a couple weeks ago, if you don't believe the voice of tulsi gabbard or will cain, donald trump was willing to act easily 50,000 administrative employees in the federal government, i'm sure that stretch into the fbi and into the intelligence community as well. were he to be elected to a second turnpike -- term. i think it is clear that motivation we are seeing from a
5:26 pm
security sake. >> tulsi: i hope everyone is paying attention to this. we the people have to stand up and make sure our voices are heard. it is great to talk to you. >> will: you are doing a great job, tulsi. >> tulsi: thank you. there is no better sample of the two-tiered justice system than hunter biden. donald trump gets rated -- weighted by the fbi while biden is protected by the agency. verified and verifiable information about hunter biden by labeling it as disinformation. just after the mar-a-lago raid one hunter biden boarded air force one with his father to go on a vacation at eight south, london mansion. here with us today is adam kohler. he is a comedian and an author. how are you? >> i'm well. >> what you feel about this economy and this -- but we are seeing play out in the different
5:27 pm
standard? >> adam: kind of weird whenever you hear about a.i. becoming a low. and now a.i. has to protect itself and the drones at the military used to controlled, it loses control over a.i. because it now has intelligence. it does doesn't it you like what is happening to washington? they have woken. and go, we have to save ourselves so we will just weaponize anything we want. as far as biden and the trump raid and everything like that, it just is insane when you turn on the tv at watch andrew mccabe on cnn explain that the raid on trump house, first off, rays, that is not a bird anymore. it is like inflation. and just like the recession is not. but totally necessary, but this is the same kind that was telling us at the steal.ca was real and that the hunter biden laptop was take. so how much credibility this
5:28 pm
andrew mccabe or any of those hacks have on the other side? it is either stupid or wire. if you are andrew mccabe, you are either so stupid you can tell the difference between a big dossier and eight laptop or you are outlined. which is what you are doing but spare me. i'm not coming to you anymore and going to take a let's see what mccabe -- maybe that raid was warranted. surprise, surprise, it was warranted. >> tulsi: exactly. daylight in broad daylight and they wonder why the american people don't have any faith or trust in our government, and congress, in these public institutions and this administration. how do we do this? how do we message things differently? you are the problem. >> adam: how about not lying? it is like you have the worst pizza place on the corner and you are like, how do we package this differently?
5:29 pm
we will get a fat italian woman. how about you make good pizza? >> tulsi: make good pizza. >> adam: make good pizza. obviously, these guys are full of it and as far as hunter pops laptop goes, i mean, 51 intelligence agents. they are lying. they are not stupid enough. >> tulsi: aber interference -- they were interfering with our election. >> adam: going to turn donald trump into a martyr. a private flying martyr. they are turning him into one. >> tulsi: thank you so much. i appreciate your perspective. joe biden has told us that our proxy war with russia would have cost and that we would have to pay the price. we are. europe is facing massive energy blackouts. how long before that is happening here in our

5:36 pm
take robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions is targeted to russian economy, not ours. >> tulsi: there are costs for us but it is not joe biden paying the price. russia's energy revenue is higher now than before the war in ukraine began. this is a supply troubled that joe biden created. there is no cost, no amount of death, destruction and suffering that will get in the way of permanent washington fulfilling their agenda. remember former secretary of state megan albright said that half a million dead iraqi children where the clinton administration's sanctions. >> we have heard that half a million children have died. that is more children than died in hiroshima. and you know, is the price worth it? i think this is a very hard
5:37 pm
choice but we think the price is worth it. the moral question is even larger one. and the other countries in the region that this not be a threat. >> tulsi: despite double lectures in pocatello tears get those crocodile tears, has never been about morality. this is about regime change in russia and exploding this work to strengthen nato and seed the military-industrial complex. it is even about bringing about "a new world order." we have elitists, he says. even if it means bring us to the brink of nuclear catastrophe. lieutenant colonel daniel davis is a competent veteran and joins us now. thank you so much for joining us. >> thanks for having me.

>> tulsi: talk to me about sanctions. we got to gauld punish them with sentience but who actually pays the price? >> lieutenant colonel davis: we are addicted to sanctions. sanctions is the first thing that comes up before we think about the ramifications for the possibility that it could accomplish anything. we don't understand whether that tool can accomplish something or if it is something we throw out there. i think it is important to played out that if the president was asked to potentially sacrifice something that could actually make a difference, that could potentially turn the tide of that or that might be one thing. potentially the cost would be worth it. but there is no chance know military path that you those ukraine could win this war. and so if you keep that sanctions on there and they hurt us more than they hurt putin, you hit it right on the head.
5:39 pm
because that sanctions that have limited how much oil they have sold to russians has accelerated the amount of money that they have made. it is not working on them but as you pointed out that there are all these problems about europe. it is about to hit even worse and it could come back on our country as well and this winter could be a very decisive taking this whole war if that western people across the western world turn against us because they say we don't reckon is an actual threat of any kind of invasion from russia but we sure do recognize the cost that we are paying back. >> tulsi: you are exactly right and it is not a question of if that will happen. it is something that we are already seeing happening where different countries in the world that different people are experiencing the effects of this administration's policies and sanctions and are turning towards us in a more antagonistic fashion than they would otherwise. think it's much, daddy. i appreciate your expertise always. it is great to have you here on the show. >> lieutenant colonel davis: tha nks for having me, tulsi.

we had 20 years to learn lessons and we neglected to do that. we did not even go back to the soviet experience in afghanistan. you did not have to go back to angus kohn or alexander the great. we had our own experience in afghanistan. and it is unforgivable as is the accountability we have seen over the 20 years, zero accountability from our senior leaders. and that continues to this day. they have all failed upwards. >> tulsi: jack, i know you have spoken and written a lot about this and how especially in recent history and you are a student of history and a prolific reader and author help general officers are no longer held accountable as you say. they are promoted upward. what do you say what do you say to the families who are looking for that accountability as we wrap up here? >> jack: well, that is what we owe not just the families but future generations as well. we failed to take the lessons and apply the lessons going

forward as wisdom. and those deaths have been in vain. that is what we owe them, to apply those lessons going forward as wisdom. we can look back. you can look back to what was our country like before 1947 and after 1947? we stopped holding our senior military leaders accountable. for whatever reason after world war ii. george marshall did it before world war ii. put those enrolled at all those names that we know today as those letters to victory, we all know those names. after world war ii, we stopped having those admirals and generals that did not measure up and that will have to change if we want the populace gets the citizens to trust in our military leadership. >> tulsi: and the results speak for themselves. thank you for in the service get your leadership, and your voice. i appreciate it. thanks for joining us. >> jack: thank you so much. >> tucker: sports leagues around the world are allowing
