tucker carlson is up next. , good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. the nation's capitol all but deserted today after the entire federal government unexpectedly shut down due to an emergency. did you hear about this? it wasn't an earthquake or outbreak of war, the actual reason it was windy today in washington. there was no rain or thunderstorms. kind of nice out. it was blowing briskly like it does a lot of year in wyoming and montana and south dakota. so in response, the entire federal workforce stayed home with pay. but somehow this is the amazing part. the private sector bravely made it to work anyway. so here we are. question is county r

tucker carlson in d.c. and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." tomorrow is the march for our lives and designed to lobby for new gun control legislation across the country. the event is backed by wealthy and powerful people, billionaire michael bloomberg, former mayor of new york, new york governor andrew cuomo and many others. some of what they are calling for is unconstitutional and irrational. it cannot work. it won't work, and that's why it's not already the law. it's not just nra lobbying, it's common sense. the organizers would rather not get into all those details and they certainly don't want to have all those debates. that's why they are hidin

tucker carlson is up next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: well, good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight have learned anything over the last year, it's pretty hard to accomplish things in washington. the republicans control the white house and the congress and after a full year no wall has been built and obamacare is still there. federal judges are part of the problem with that loss of executive orders have been shot down with bogus rulings. but the core problem is the structural one. the president is not an emperor. no president is. but that has not stopped mass delusions on the left that he has in fact a dictator. in fact yesterday hillary clinton suggested that president trump is on the verge of taking over this country somehow and destroying the constitution. watch this. >> as someone who grew up in and barely escaped the holocaust my mother would say from time to time that it could happen here. what are your concerns about the stability of our democratic institutions and structures in these tumultuous moments? >> i worry about the degradation of institutions. i'm more worried about

tucker carlson over on fox is doing a special series nothis month called "men in america."n't you think he's trying to troll people by doing it in march? >> i had to ask your producers when they called me if they were, in fact, trolling me. >> we're not joking. he's doing it all month. >> and tucker carlson is not wrong that men to some extent are in crisis. they do have higher rates of suicide. women are graduating in higher numbers from college and we are going on to receive more degrees. but men go on to enter their first jobs out of college and make 20% more salary, on average. something that tucker has completely dismissed. and they're entering into a world where men still run things. they probably don't have to face sexual harassment. they don't have to claim #metoo. and so the idea that, you know, that men need more attention, i think maybe misses the point. >> i think it would be wonderful if he did "men in america," and then "women in america" too. my issue is with these media silos where we only hear one side of the stories. >> the reality is it's not a zero sum e

. >> from two-can steve in the other matchup you have tucker carlson saying america ended slavery tarndsus bill o'reilly settling a sexual harassment case for $32 million saying he was innocent. >> i believe bill o'reilly. >> okay. >> nothing says i'm innocent like spending a film budget to prove it. for that amount of money, bill o'reilly could have made get out seven times. get out two, get out three, get out four. >> at that point it's, like, hey stop dating white women. >> i don't think that was the point of the movie. >> that's what i got from it. >> let's just move on. trump side to have the bracket, two great matchups on the trump side. we've got to break those down. >> the president's here! oh! >> okay, listen, i heard that you guys were calling a bunch of my statements b.s. well, guess what? i love attention and i want to be a part of it! >> mr. president, it's an honor that you are here. let's get your analysis right here. the first bullshit matchup was when you called your inauguration crowd size the biggest inauguration crowd size in history. how do you explain that? >> wasn

instance, prime time anchor and guy who looks like he just walked in on his grandparents boning, tucker carlsonxt level. >> their too young to buy guns, why should they be making my gun laws. why should people without don't have the right to buy guns have the right to make my gun laws t is a simple question. >> i mean, they're not making the gun laws. the law. >> as citizens in this country, they are allowed to influence the. >> they're not citizens they're children, they're not 18. >> wow, wow. now american kids aren't even citizens? so i guess in tucker's mind, you are mexican until you turn 18s that how it works and then you smash a pinata and social security numbers fall out. age secondly, get the [bleep] out of here, man! if kids are old enough to be shot, they are old enough to have an opinion about being shot, okay.
