Some races played out as referendums on the president s first two years in office, other races had nothing at all to do with trump. In some races, hard edged ideologues won, and others, moderates tape it was basically a patchwork, no obvious takeaways from what happened last night. But there are some useful lessons, and that is what we would like to spend some time talking about tonight. What exactly have we learned from 470 individual Congressional Elections . Some big governors races, and the full year of political debate . The biggest news is that democrats just won back the house of representatives after eight years. They are thrilled with that, obviously. And yet they dont appear to have any idea how they did it. As of tonight, there really is no Democratic Program or platform or message, there is no democratic plan for making the economy stronger or the country safer. There is only donald trump, who they despise. The entire democratic message is trump. The president s often accused of narcissism and make everything about himself, but on that point, democrats agree with them, they think everything is about to trump come too paired watch this clip last night. It became clear that democrats were about to reclaim the house, it was a big moment, the apex of the night, and at the apex, a senior democrat called lisette on msnbc to announce his parties top priorities. Here it is. I have spoken to a senior democratic source on the ways and means committee, breaking news, they do intend to request President Trumps tax returns. Getting your hands on those trump tax returns, every window looks, would be a big deal for the committee. Tucker getting trumps tax returns, that is the priority for democrats, not infrastructure, not wages, not drug ods in this country, the shrinking middle class, not even health care. Trumps tax returns. That is what democrats really want. Okay, maybe they will get them. Maybe they will get those returns. What then . What exactly will be learned from trumps tax returns . That a casino owner once employed a clever accountant . That he made less than he claimed he did . Will anybody be shocked by any of that . Will anyone care about any of that . Or as with the Stormy Daniels saga that went on forever, will voters find themselves titillated for a moment and then lose interest . What do trumps tax returns have to do with them, anyway . Their premiums havent gone down, it is all just noise appeared almost all of this is just noise. For the rest of us, a Pretty Simple lesson, you think democrats would have figured it out, but they have not figured it out. Congressman jerry nadler will likely be the chairman of the house judiciary committee, just today, he was on a train back to washington from new york and he was overheard by somebody laying out his legislative priorities. First on the list . Not making this up, impeaching Brett Kavanaugh and removing him from the supreme court. Apparently that is what democrats really believe voters want, more than anything else, get that kavanaugh guy off the court. Poised to take over the house intelligence committee, the reigning member for the last couple of years. He said come january when he takes over, his main priority will be intensifying at the russia probe, because it is not intense enough or longstanding enough. He thinks that he can prove that Vladimir Putin somehow stole the 2016 election with a few dozen facebook ads that hardly anybody saw. Can he really prove that . Who knows . Maybe. What we can know for certain is nobody outside Washington Well care at all if he does prove it. The entire russia conversation is an relevant and a dome. And that has been proven already. It has nothing to do with anything, and Everybody Knows it. Democrats are the only one who dont know it yet. As of right now, the entire democratic platform can be summed up in one sentence donald trump is a bad person. That is what they plan to run on in the next president ial election, which incidentally, starts today, right now. Good luck with that. It is a virtual guarantee that trump will serve a full eight years to be make it about him paired by the way, so as all of the race talk, that is not helping you. Several along the way, emma katz became convinced they could win elections by announcing voters as racist or the Andrew Gillum campaign and tried it in for to comer member he was asked about the fbi probe, you are a racist for asking. Stacey abrams in georgia, did it work . No. It really works. Why would it work . Here is a bit of hard earned knowledge from almost 30 years of covering campaigns, when you call voters immoral, they dont like it. And yet the left continues to throw the racist slur, probably because they enjoy doing it i ct themselves. Here is abcs coverage of the gillum race last night paired watch. I think progressives in place like florida and georgia, they will be incredibly disappointed, and they will be giving their white neighbors the hairy eyeball tomorrow. Tucker in other words, abc is telling us, Andrew Gillum lost because of his skin color, and he lost because of the behavior of people of a certain skin color. Abc knows that. You hear things like this all the time. Every day. And yet curiously, nobody ever bothers to prove any of it. Or even try. Why . Because it is unprovable. And that is the appeal. Racism is now anything you dont like, and racist as anyone who is in your way. Hurling allegations of bigotry are from the perspective of the left, the quickest way to get what you want. That is why they do it. It happened again today. Speak on the campaign trail, you call yourself a nationalist. Some people saw that as emboldening White Nationalist. President trump that is such a racist question parents because some people say that the Republican Party is supporting White Nationalist because of your rhetoric. What do you make of that . President trump why do i have my highest whole numbers ever with africanamericans . They love our country. I do. You have nationalist, you are a global list. I also love the world. And i dont mind helping the rule world, but we have to straighten out our country firs. Tucker it happened at the te president s briefing, so so you might not have seen it because you are living a life not glued to the internet, but if that happened a few years ago, it would have been everywhere. It would have been international news. An accredited White House Reporter calling the president of the United States a white supremacist . Holy smokes but now it is just any other day on cable news. He nobody really believes that the reporter means it. It is posturing. And therefore, it is boring. The claim racist is losing its power from overuse. Diminishing returns have been reached purity of a problem with nationalist, and might be better to argue against nationalism. That way we might all learn something. In the meantime, republicans should understand that democrats call them bigots not because they believe they are bigots, or even because they care if they are bigots. Al sharpton and Louis Farrakhan are still allowed in the democratic party, after all, democrats obvious they arent too concerned about bigotry, or they would kick those guys out first step. Democrats say it, they make the charge, because they hope it will bring them power, and power is what they want. It is all they want. Republicans lost an entire chamber of Commerce Congress last night, nobody righted this morning. And nobody blocked intersections or looted liquor stores. Even republican consultants on television this morning questioning results or questioning them as a legitimate institutions. It didnt occur to republicans to do that. It was just an election. You lose it sometimes. That is how republicans think. That is not how democrats think. They mean it. They lost a few seats in the senate last night, already they are denouncing the senate itself as it somehow undemocratic. The talking points have gone around, they are all reading them. Watch joy behar today trying to read them ultimately she misread the talking points, but she gave it her best on the view. To be good democrats and won the popular vote last night by 8 million votes. Right . But they lose you not senate races in red areas. Gerrymandering. That is the constitution. The districts are gerrymandered, but the states are part of the constitution. Tucker you cant gerrymander a senate election, of course, because it is statewide. Joy behar doesnt know that, she doesnt really know what the senate is, but she knows power, and like a lot of democrats you see on television, she will say whatever it takes to get power. Republicans should understand that. But it is not just democrats who should have learned something last night, there were major lessons for republicans, too, ones they should Pay Attention to. Heres one, voters care about campaign promises. If you dont fulfill your campaign promises, it turns out they noticed, they remember. They dont care for it. In 2016, republicans in congress promised to come i dont know, build the wall, get rid of obamacare, defund planned parenthood, they got elected on those promises, they didnt do any of them once they got elected paired maybe that is one reason they lost of the house last night. Heres another lesson. Immigration matters. Not just on the level of individuals and families and caravans, the things that we debate every night, but on the level of entire populations. Immigration changes who lives in a country and who votes. Ultimately, that is why it matters. You never know that from listening to the coverage of immigration stories. You would think the question of who comes into your country and under what circumstances was entirely a moral issue. Really a question of personal decency. Good people are for open borders, bad people are against them. That is always a message, including today. As you know, mr. President , the caravan was not an invasion, it is a group of migrants moving up from Central America toward the border with the u. S. Why did you characterize it as such . President trump because i can say invasion, you and i have a difference of opinion. Do you think you demonized immigrants in the selection . President trump i want them to come into the country, but they have to come in legally. They have to come through a process. Can ask one other question paired President Trump thats enough, thats enough. Thats enough. Pardon me, maam. President trump thats enough. If i may ask, on the russian investigation, are you concerne concerned. President trump im not concerned about anything. Though investigation is a hoax. That is enough, put down the mic. Mr. President , are you worried about indictments coming down in this investigation . Mr. President. President trump i tell you what, cnn should be ashamed of themselves having you worry work for them. You are a rude, terrible person, you shouldnt be working for cn cnn. Tucker i hate to see this become a new story, a cost of such a buffoon, but he is such a buffoon that the white house felt they had no choice but to respond. Press secretary Sarah Huckabee sanders put up the statement, president believes in a free press and welcomes question of him in this administration, we will, however, never tolerate a reporter lacing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a white house intern. This conduct is absolutely unacceptable, also complete a disrespectful to the reporters colleagues, not to allow them an opportunity to ask a question. It went on to say, as a result of what happened, the white house suspending the hard pass of the reporter involved until further notice clear clos close. Whatever else the exchange you just saw was, what it really was it was a diversion from the political reality of immigration. Here is the political reality. California was once a solidly republican state for generations. It is now among the most democratic. Why . Immigration. To different people live there, not surprisingly, they vote very differently. Something very similar is happening right now in nevada, arizona, north carolina, many other states. That is reflected in last nights vote totals. Check the numbers. Democrats obviously know this, that is why they oppose borders, because it helped them when recollections. Republicans, my profound contrast, have been very slow to pick up on this. They are very literal. They still think immigration policy is about virtue. Republicans also seem to think their economic message is working, they are very proud of the tax bill they passed in congress, the congress that they will control not much longer. Paul ryan is always talking about his tax bill by the way, there is nothing wrong with tax cuts. But republican strategist seem to forget that huge percentage of americans dont pay federal taxes. By definition, they dont care very much about tax cuts. It cuts to taxes they dont pay. For them and for many others, the economy is not measured in stock prices and gdp numbers, they are concerned are tangible concerns. What does gas cost . Can i afford to live in a safe neighborhood . Will i go bankrupt if i get sick . These are real questions for tens of millions of people. The party that effectively addresses these questions, generally wins elections. Republicans, for whatever reason, tended to ignore these questions. That is a big reason why they just lost the house. But there is a larger issue that we ought to meditate on, the Republican Party is a conservative party. Republicans are supposed to care about families, not just a little bit, but above all. And yet increasingly, the American Family is vanishing. Young people cant afford to get married or to have children. Take a look at the numbers at some time, they are publicly available, they are shocking. And they foretell an ominous future for all of us. A country without Strong Families is a weak country. It is a volatile place, a chaotic place, it is a place susceptible to political demagoguery. It is what america is becoming. If you want to stop that slide, support families. It is that simple. Put another way, if you are supposedly conservative Economic Program doesnt make it easier for young people to get and stay married and have kids, how is it really conservative . If couples are too poor to have children and you are not helping, why should i come as a conservative, vote for you . I should not vote for you. I will not vote for you. I will work against you, that is my pledge. Supporting marriage and children is the best may be the only way for republicans or any of us to save the country. It will also win them elections, they should start right away. We will be discussing the effect of yesterdays midterm throughout the hour tonight paired up next, we will ask a democrat with the parties messages coming out of the midterms and what, if anything, democrats stand for. It dana perino also joins us, as well as who the democrats will choose for how speakers, that is on the lineup for tonight. We will come of course, also weed on the president s firing of the attorney general. Stay tuned. Will it feel like the wheend of a journey . P working, or the beginning of something even better . When you prepare for retirement with pacific life, you can create a lifelong income. So you have the freedom to keep doing whatever is most meaningful to you. A reliable income that lets you retire, without retiring from life. Thats the power of pacific. Ask your financial professional about pacific life today. Tucker after eight years, democrats once again control the house of representatives, that will be official in january, but only by a very slim margin. Now, a new battle begins, and that is a battle over the democratic partys message, what do they stand for . Open borders and socialism, wages in the middle class . Who knows what it is, or will it just remain trump is evil, republicans are racist . Is not enough . It is a sincere question. In my view, there are two there is identity politics and the economic quality is politi. What is the message . Who is going to win, that is the big question. We saw the divide between the heartland democrats in the coastal democrats. The heartland democrats come a lot of those folks from michigan and pennsylvania, even places like kansas and oklahoma, who are saying, lets focus on the basics, right . Good wages, decent jobs, Affordable Health care, that is the message that i think most americans want to hear. What we are hearing, however, from the postal folks, is something very, very different. This is the alexandra because jo cortez, democratic socialism, which is lots of big government, lots of programs that we cant really pay for, we want to apologize, abolish i. C. E. , open borders, that is tg of the party. This is why the ocasiocortez folks will win. We have dnc chair, tom perez, who says that she is the head of the democratic party, she is the future of the democratic party. We also have obama, who actually endorsed her, as well. Tucker can i say is that because she is impressive or because of the way right, im not being mean, but she is young and she seems like she doesnt know very much, and all, so im beginning to think it is only because of race and gender, which is not a good way to make these decisions. Of course, but this gets back to the philosophical, ideological struggle that is happening with the party right now, and that is this. Are we going to be a party that tells people you have to vote for a democrat because you are a woman, because you are, because of the color of your skin is dark, that is one wing of the party. You hear it from people in texas. Criticizing white people who didnt vote for beto. But they will say thank you to folks who were of color tucker beto orourke is this white guy with the fake hispanic name running against a hispanic guy named tad, im too literal for this world, i think. You and me, both. A democrat is incredible increy frustrating to watch the party cannibalize its outcome because at the end of the day, if you look at this from the health of a democracy, we need multiple parties. We need democrats cant be part of that conversation when o left field that we are talking about open borders and people have to vote a certain way because of their gender. That is really the cost, the consequence, and frankly why republicans should be upset about this, as well, we should all be concerned when a major party in this country is a so unhinged that they are not giving the people a choice. Tucker i think that is a really wise point, and for that reason, i am rooting for the democrats to get same. It doesnt help anybody. Great to see you. The president tweeted this today, and im quoting in all fairness, nancy pelosi deserves to be speaker of the house by the democrats. If they give her a hard time, maybe we will add republican votes that she has earned this great honor not sure if that is entirely sincere. Will democrats go for pelosi, or will new leadership take over . Dana perino as we turn to to answer questions like this. I mean, it is not simply about who gets the gavel, it is about what is the partys message . Speak all sorts of things. I think President Trump has thought this through, he is elevating pelosi for a very good reason, one, she is he is righe deserves it. The democrats made her the villain of every ad across the country and was still able to win and do what she was able to do. On the merits, look at her as a worthy competitor, okay . However, what also does this do . This makes all of these new democrats that she was willing to let them say that they would never vote for her, they promised in their districts, i will never vote for nancy pelosi for speaker. Guess what is about to happen . The very first vote that these new members of congress are going to be asked to take is whether nancy pelosi should be speaker of the house. And they might end up breaking a promise their very first promise on their very first vote in order to make her speaker. Tucker why would they do that . Im not attacking im actually agree with you, nancy pelosi has hung around. Why wouldnt it be nancy pelosi . But why do people go against of their claims . If nancy pelosi had been able to get 65 this wouldnt have been a question, she would say, i dont care, 24, 30 of you who dont want to vote for me, i have a margin large enough that it doesnt matter, but it is only 30 or so plus. I think what might up and happes conversation with the previous gas, there is no message. What are they doing, who are they . Was going to be the leader . The difference in choosing the minority leader, who is going to lob a bombs all day long, this one is important about the future of the country, and the future direction of the party, and so i think that is why it makes a little bit more of a difference. If you remember, the republican said they were going to repeal and replace obamacare. They ended this election cycle with obamacare more popular than it was before. They didnt keep their promise on that vote, and that tends to enrage the base. I think what might happen, though, is that nancy pelosi will become caretaker speaker. She will be there for a while with a promise that she is going to work on a transition to somebody else, maybe the next generation, Something Like that, but they will probably end up having to cast their first vote for her. Tucker i honestly cant wait for that. There is always an upside, and you are always the person who points it out. Speak on the good news is. Tucker exactly, great to see you. The president fired his attorney general today, Jeff Sessions. We will bring you details on what exactly happened and why and what it means after the break. I can do more to lower my a1c. Because my body can still make its own insulin. I take trulicity once a week to activate my body to release its own insulin, like its supposed to. Trulicity is not insulin. It works 24 7. It comes in an easytouse pen. And i may even lose a little weight. Trulicity is an injection to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. Dont use it as the first medicine to treat diabetes, or if you have type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Dont take trulicity if you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, youre allergic to trulicity, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. Stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck or severe stomach pain. Serious side effects may include pancreatitis. Taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases your low blood sugar risk.

Tucker they are always aftershocks in campaigns, the first after the 2018 main terms of arrived quickly this afternoon, the president fired his attorney general, Jeff Sessions. For more than a year, he has publicly criticized and ridiculed Jeff Sessions, so it is not surprising. Replacing sessions with a new appointment, republicans held the senate, clearly saw no reason to keep him around. In theory, going forward, Jeff Sessions could challenge doug jones in 2020 to reclaim the Alabama Senate see that he gave up to serve the president as ag. If he did that, he would almost certainly win, one of the most popular people in the state. We asked a source close to session, said that would probably not happen and he would retire into private life he does not come of course, we will wish him the best, but it will be, and we should say this, a loss for the country. Donald trumps long shot president ial campaign succeeded because he promised what so many voters wanted, and yet what so few politicians were willing to campaign on, because they are cowards. Among his many promises, the most important was his pledge to reverse decades of deliberate neglect and treat our National Borders like they are real, like all country matters. Nobody understood that message better than Jeff Sessions. He understood it immediately. He was one of the president s first and most unwavering supporters, i think the first in the senate, and it was because of immigration. When the president took office, he gave up and essentially lifetime post representing alabama to help fulfill trumps mission. Sadly, the country was going another way. Within about 5 minutes, the 2016 election, the democrats decided it was not about immigration or an abandoned middleclass, but rather about russia and the conspiracy between Vladimir Putin and trump. Now, republican said they didnt believe that story, and yet for some reason, many of them allow democrats to reframe the entire political debate in the country and make russia the single Biggest Issue in american politics. But Jeff Sessions did not fall for that, he never let himself get distracted from the mission at hand, everyone else obsessed over dossiers and fisa warrants, sessions worried about the mission he was hired to do. He introduced a zerotolerance approach to immigration prosecution, treated illegal entry into the United States as a crime, because it is a crime. Hes at doj issued a new opinions and to restrict the exploitation of asylum laws in this country. He fought to strip agile funding of sanctuary cities. Courts ruled against him, but he did everything he could to get those things done. His department accelerated the hiring of immigration judges, didnt get a lot of attention, but a big deal. They can take lace more quickly. A service to america and for the people being held. On dhaka, is it refutable to defend that program, which is unconstitutional, really induced the president to enter the program. Sessions wasnt just a fact event immigration, though, he rolled back the obama administrations soft on crime policies across the board appeared he pursued tougher penalties for drug dealers, not just for liberals, but wealthy libertarians, who decided the war on drugs was a total disaster. This at a time when more people are dying every year of drug ods and then died in all of vietnam paired with a decadent decided it is immoral to prosecute drug drug dealers. Of course, sessions almost ended the obama administrations harassment or local law enforcement, that helped drive a surge in Violent Crime in major cities. If you live in one, you know what we are talking about. Passions it did all of this, even as he finds it appointed him attacked him in public, the attacks started more than a year ago after one of the residents public date rebukes, we traveled with him to el salvador where he was pushing a fight against ms13. Sessions made it clear he was there to get results and would serve as long as the president would have him. He hasnt said again and again in many different forms out this barrage that you should not have recused yourself from oversight in a rush investigation pair do you agree with that . I understand his feelings about it. Because this has been a big distraction for him. But tucker, i thought the experts in the department of justice, the people who trained in that, im confident i made the right decision. To speak the use of the criticism was hurtful and the president has made it really clear that he doesnt seem to want you to run for the department of justice. Will you continue to run it . He can make that clear at any time, i serve at the pleasure of the president. If he wants to make a change, he can certainly do so, and i would be glad to yield in that circumstance, no doubt about it. Tucker sessions wasnt perfect, obviously, he sometimes got rolled by his staff. The russian investigations have showed that fbi and doj are deeply politicized. Sessions never seemed to fully get a handle on the permanent bureaucracy beneath them. But if you take three steps back, here is what you see. In an administration beset with constant leaks and infighting and people looking out for themselves and only themselves, sessions with maybe one of the very few people who never forgot why he was there, to make america a better country. We can only hope that his replacement will do the same. Several pretty extreme democrats got beaten in the polls last night, but some of them won and are set to be fixtures on the National Political scene on the other cable channels for years to come here tonight, we begin tracking these people. She is here with details, hey, lisa. Hey, tucker. How are you . Tucker im great. 470 different races from house and senate, and it is hard to keep track of a lot of them, so tell us what we should be paying attention to . One voice that we will hear from a lot is ocasiocortez, shl district in a landslide, but i think shes going to be a little disappointed when she gets to capitol hill, listen to this to find out why. I would love to get inaugurated january 3rd, 4th, take on health care, take a part in our society. As you know, members of congress dont assign bills into laws, they write them paired also, she was not inaugurated last night, she was elected tonight, that is because what hf congress. I think she will also be disappointed when she finds out that all of these free things she wants, we cannot afford, like Free Health Care and college tuition. And tucker, with Maxine Waters also won her california Congressional District in a landslide. Just one thing on her mind, take a listen to this. They say max Maxine Thomas please dont say impeachment. And i say impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment. She is going to be the Incoming House Financial Services chairman, and clearly she has impeachment on her mind, so this is what President Trump is up against next congress. Tucker im sorry to laugh, it is a selfcentered lab since i work in cable news. They are guaranteeing another two years of great tate. Lisa, thank you, we will be following this stuff. Looking forward to it, thank you. Tucker the stock market is up, on employment low, but the Republican Party still lost the house but how did that happen . Is their Economic Program still appealing to Middle America . Is not something we should talk about, and we will after the break. The new lincoln mkc.

Tucker by the measures of that washington uses, the American Economy looks great. The stock market of course is up and has been for a long time, unemployment is historically low, gdp is fine. But look beneath the surface, and there are ominous signs. Young people cannot a afford hs or cars or to have children paired the most common living arrangement of young peoples with their parents. Student loans and other debt are strangling the countrys middleclass paired with that in mind, it is either party have an economic message to remedy the concerns of the average American Family . Economic professor of the university of chicago, thanks for coming on. I noticed last night in the return, something interesting, everyone we know is completely committed to free trade as a matter of religious faith, as you know. I saw a number races, and i notice this for the past couple of years, voters are very distrustful of our trade policies, saw that last night with sherrod brown, winning in ohio. I would say that is fair. Tucker is both parties, it is actually both the consensus on economics is bipartisan, pretty much come increasingly. So should we not reassess at all . If the majority is not served, doesnt that mean the policy is problematic . Im an economic professors, so nobody is going to out free trade me, i think tucker shouldnt we rethink that, may be . We should, we should always reexamine. In this case, i think that in many of the circumstances where people are the most upset, it wasnt actually trade that led to the problem, but i might be wrong, we should reexamine. Tucker im hardly an economist, so it is probably in my favor most of the time, but i cant prove that, either. Heres what i know for certain, the measurements that we use, and certainly economic professors used to judge the health of an economy, dont begin to describe the experience of tens of millions of americans. So, like, if young people cant afford to get married or have kids, why does it gdp why is that a meaningful measure of anything . Looking, you are preaching to the choir on that one. The measure of gdp, and certainly just the average of gdp for the whole country, is not the only measure, it is probably not even the most important measure. We should be looking at median incomes, that is how much the middle class is actually bringing home in their pocket. Most of those measures of wages and income have not grown as fast as these broader measures of how corporations are doing and stuff like that. Tucker do you think there is any more important measure of a countrys longterm prospects that how many young people get married and have kids . What would be in a more important measure than that . I agree with you that that is an important one, though there are a lot of things going on, that has been a trend for a long time, that people are getting married later and starting families later. Tucker but if you look at the surveys on it it is complex, as all Human Behavior is, but the main drivers economic, we cant afford it. The only thing i would highlight im not meaning to minimize that, it is important. It is also important, in modern society, that people get as much education and skill as they can, because that is going to raise their wages. And when people go to school for longer, that tends to put off when they are getting married, when they are starting their families. Tucker which do you think as a philosophical question, which is more important for a society . Been successful at an investment bank, or having children . I would definitely vote for the kids come over the investment bank, but at the same time, we want people to get education and raise their skill level, that will allow them to provide for their families, that will allow the economy to grow, that will allow it to be spread more than just in a very concentrated way. Tucker but the opposite has happened. You are a professional academic, so maybe dont want to may admit it, but the opposite has happened. As universal college has become a reality it basically is a reality now, the country has become more stratified. The opposite has happened from what you just said. Why . Only about a third of people have a college degree, it hasnt become universal at all. Tucker compare that to 30 years ago or 50 years ago, everybody who wants a college degree. Educational attainment has stalled out in the country, and i think that is an opponent why inequality has continued to rise. Tucker are you being serious . Because the country is more equal wait a second. Okay. Im sorry, they are telling me i have to wrap. In the 1970s, we saw a dramatic expansion of Educational Attainment, and we had inequality over that time, the middle class is doing a lot better appeared starting on 1970 to 1975, use the Educational Attainment stall out, and you see inequality start to rise. Tucker i dont believe that is true, but now they are telling me we really do have to wrap up. I hope you come back, so we can talk about through appeared to always but as you, tucker. Tucker thank you paired the left are goes consistently a vote against them was a vote for racism, they have argued that in the last two elections, almost universally. It didnt work, but they are still arguing it. Why is that . We will be right back. The new Capital One Savor card. Earn 4 cash back on dining and 4 on entertainment. Now when you go out, you cash in.

Tucker democrats have maintained a pretty consistent story line for the past couple of years, really, democrats have to win, and if they dont win, there is only one explanation for it, racism. The press, of course, their handmaidens, have eagerly help them push that story line. There is still a silent majority who responds to these racially coded probably the most generous way. He won, and he won, and virtually, with a message that was racially motivated, that was false, about this invasion of migrants. Tucker the dumbest people all work on tv now. It turns out that voters didnt care for this, they dont like being called evil. That is not their way to enact their votes, it is also untrue. Stacey abrams, Andrew Gillum both lost last night, so did john james in michigan, for some reason, calling the races for reelecting a debbie stabenow, that is kind of funny. Thank you very much for coming on. I wonder if we have reached the peak list area on this country, my preferred outcome, and we cae issue, mostly about economics, we can debate those pit are they going to continue doing this . They will continue doing this, it is and mike they are e a dog on a leash or a hamster on wheel. They want to talk about people being racist, but as you said, they dont want to talk about michigan. Ive a friend of mine, ran for the second Congressional District in maryland, lost by 157,000 votes. To the people of marilyn, are you racist . You didnt vote for a black, female republican. How come those 157,000 people didnt vote for her . Are they sexist . This is what happens, if we are going to play this game, then lets play this game. Lets be consistent with it. They dont want to play the game because it doesnt work, doesnt pass the smell test. Tucker so why should republicans or conservatives play the game . When they are accused, unfairly, as transparently false and silly, of bigotry or being immoral, why dont they just laugh . That is the ability of president donald trump, right . I saw something recently that said he is postracial, and i think that is probably the most accurate depiction of him, he is postracial. He knows it this is all bunk, he laughs it off. Every congressional republican, every republican around the nation, should learn that lesson. Dont take the dog whistle, theyre going to call you i said that on the show before every republican has been called a racist. Why do you keep calling for it . Tucker i think for people who are in the public eye, there is a real threat, one thing you lose your job over, people lose their jobs screaming lunatics show up at your house and scare your children. There are real costs, but maybe we deescalate by laughing in the face of absurdity. Definitely. That is what i do all the time, i laugh at people, especially when somebody tries to push on me i let them know that i dont feel 1 ounce of inferiority to anyone paired ultimately, that is what they are saying to people of color, black people, hispanics, they are saying that we see you as inferior, and so we are the great white hope hes going to come out there and protect you, but i dont need you to protect me. I can protect myself. I dont need any special privileges. I have the constitution. How about we just stand up to the constitution . That is all we are really asking for. Tucker doesnt that this is a long conversation. Absolutely, and my wife has to hear me rant about things on occasion, god bless her for putting up with me on that. It drives me crazy. Tucker it drives me crazy, too appeared as always, great to see you. Much ahead in our coverage of the midterm results, we will be right back. T . T .

Tucker here is one lesson from yesterday, nobody cares what celebrities think. You could have guessed that circle years ago when thousands of stars made a fight club song which somehow failed to deliver pennsylvania for hillary clinton, sought again last night, obra campaign for abrams in georgia, taylor Swift Campaign in tennessee for the democrat. If hollywood had its way, beto orourke when it just be senator, he would be king. Instead, all of that lost, that is a good sign for america. Everyone in l. A. Still seems to think beto orourke will be present, that is in almost a certain sign he wont be. Congratulations to america pair that is in for us tonight, we will be back, they show that is the sworn enemy of mine, pomposity, smugness, and group think that im taking two days off, i will be back on monday. In the meantime, sean hannity from new york. Sean all right, tucker, jampacked hour. The socalled blue wave, turned out to be a farce, media pundit, democrats, all wrong yet again. Present trumps aggressive, tough campaign strategy, his economic success, Foreign Policy success, led to political success. Last night, democrats did win control of the house, but they lost seats in the u. S. Senate, they also lost several highprofile, enormously wellfunded races in the states like texas, florida, georgia, and republicans, they still hold the majority of governorships all across the country. When we put this in perspective for you, you will see why this was such a great
