Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Tucker Carlson Tonight 20190810

The reality is that under my medicare for all plan, yes, employers are not going to be able to dictate the kind of health care that their employees get. This has to be the party thats not afraid to stay aloud, we are going to tax the hill out of the wealthy. Or, they could she was probably wellmeaning but doomed moderates, people who get silenced or outright booze when they suggest the Democratic Party can find itself to what might be possible. Now, in this discussion already tonight, we talked about taking private Health Insurance away from Union Members in the industrial midwest. We talked about decriminalizing the border and we talked about giving Free Health Care to undocumented workers when so Many Americans are struggling to pay for their health care. I, quite friendly, dont think that that is an agenda that we can move forward on and win. I think democrats win when we run on real solutions, not impossible promises. When we promised things that are workable not fairy tale economics. Tucker then, often a category all by herself, there is marianne williamson. Williamson may share the debate stage with other candidates but otherwise, its not clear shes even in the same dimension. And now, it is time for generations of americans to rise up again. For an amoral Economic System has turned to shortterm profits for huge multinational corporations into a full god. Everything that we are talking about here tonight is whats wrong with american politics. And the Democratic Party needs to understand that we should be the party to talk, not just about systems, but also about causes. If you think any of this one guinness is going to deal with this dark psychic force of a collectivized paper that this president is bringing up in the country, then im afraid that the democrats are going to see some very dark days. Tucker lisa boothe wont say which of these three options she is voting for until come the primaries but she is a senior voice with fox news and she joins us tonight. That kind of is the tragedy, presumably, there are some nondemented democrats left. I mean, there are, and they dont really have too many options, do they question mike they dont and actually, i thought what was really interesting about last weeks debates, theyre sort of two prevailing themes that are goint now. One is this directional divide in the party and then the second is a generational divide and on the directional front, you showed some of the clips from john delaney calling out his party but what we saw on the first night of debates, use have these really radical progressive candidates like Bernie Sanders and was with warren on the stage and then you had all of these moderates like tim ryan, john delaney, John Hickenlooper as well, and essentially, the message from the moderates was hey, look, we are taking on these policy positions that may play with primary voters but they dont in the general election and we see that im pulling. Even policy positions like giving health care to illegal immigrants, democrat primary voters may favorite that but if you look at overall voters, they oppose it by 28 points and gives a clip from John Hickenlooper talking about this. This notion that youre going to take private insurance away from hundred 80 million americans who many of them dont want to get rid of it, many dont, and youre going into degree new deal make sure every american is guaranteed the government job that they want, that is disaster. You might as well fedex the election to donald trump. So clearly making every point of hey, look, we are going to throw this thing. If we are taking on all these radical policy positions, that are out of step with the general election. And i also thought on the directional front, something that was interesting, that surprise me, with a lot of the candidates and a second night taking on former president obam president obamas policy position who is still immensely popular with democrats, i thought i was a really interesting take and i really surprise me. In the second theme i mentioned earlier on the den generational front, youve got Vice President joe biden who is the leading candidate, who is 76 years old, and there was this interesting New York Times article where they interviewed about 50 democrat insiders and one of the main concerns was his age. And his inability to deliver a correct message and we really saw that last week. Take a look at this. [cheers and applause] the fact is, the bill that the future president here, that the senator is talking about, if you agree with me, go to joe 30030 and help me in this fight. Thank you very much. So just a lot of stumbles there from joe biden. I think the nail was it on the head when he said the good news is for joel lanning, this is probably the best he can do in the bad news is, this is probably the best he can do. The one so, i just want to end on this, inject some reality on, you are always talking to people, politics for a living, how many people do you know who voted who believe that joe biden would actually be the democratic nominee . I think its sort of split but heres where things change and where i think things start looking different. Even if you look ahead at the september debate, the requirements jump significantly. So the field probably is going to be cut in about half of who actually ends up on the debate stage and was going to be interesting as a lot of these moderates are not going to be on that debate stage. Theyre not going to hit the pulling requirement or the unique donor requirement as well and i also think if you are joe biden, you are more exposed because you then get followup questions from the moderator, there is also more time to speak, so i think he starts changing the dynamic when theres more exposure. Tucker time is not on his side. Lisa boothe, the great to see you tonight. Thank you. 2020 could be the first year that the Democratic Party nominates a selfdescribed socialist for president. Even if they dont come almost every democratic candidate running right now has endorsed at least some socialist policies. What are these policies and may be more important, what how much what they cost and what they were question mike is there any evidence that they would . Justin houston is a Research Fellow at the parlay institute and he joins us tonight. Justin, we want to take all policy ideas seriously paired. Clearly people in charge of screwed up the country so we are open minded always. But give us a sober analysis of some of the big policies these candidates are promoting. Would they make the country better . No, tucker, and virtually, they would not make the country better. The vast majority of the policies being offered right now by the Democratic Party are going to be incredibly expensive, they have no way to pay for them, and the first want to talk about it of course is a medicare for all. A lot of people have heard that this is going to cost 32 trillion over the first ten years. But what does that actually mean for middleclass people question mike they are being told that they are going to save thousands and thousands of dollars because they are not going to have to pay expensive deductibles and copays and things like that but heres the truth. We just conducted a study of the Heartland Institute and we found that middleclass americans are going to get absolutely screwed by a Single Payer Health care. 40 million or 60 million american households are going to end up paying more in new federal taxes than they are going to get back in health care benefits. People who make 75,000. 200000 a year are going to see their tax bills go up. We estimate by 12,000 to 15,000 per year. Those who are in a hundred thousand dollars or more are going to see their tax bills go up on average by 20,000. The more money you may come the worse it gets. So singlepayer health care, there is apsley no way to pay for that. And that brings us to our second point, Free Health Care for all illegal immigrants. This is one of the most ridiculous policies that is ever been proposed in american history. Here you have 11 million to 29 million illegal aliens here in the country right now and thats probably a conservative figure, even if we assume that this is that we are going to pay out Health Care Costs that matched what we are paying right now for medicaid beneficiaries, we are going to see costs go up. Who is going to pay for that . And even worse tucker let me stop you there. Hold on. So you are saying that those costs will go up, those are just the cause of paying the health care of the illegal aliens question marks because thats right. And thats just the start. I mean, this is a big invitation to the world, to billions of people around the world, come here to america, we are going to pay for your health care. Whats going to stop busloads or train loads of people with serious ailments from coming to the United States legally or illegally and for us to be treating these people . I mean, this is total madness and that is why basically no other country in the entire world does Something Like that. So yes, this is a crazy proposal from the left. And my third big proposal, a federal jobs guarantee. This might seem pain compared to the other things we just talked about but this is an incredibly dangerous proposal. Not only is he going to be very expensive, 4 trillion to 44 trillion according to the American Action forum over a tenyear period, into putting on how many people are in it. But in addition, its going to indirectly give the federal government power over the entire labor market because if they are offering people a living wage, anyone, living wage, which could be 15, could between dollars, could be 25 an hour, it means whatever means the Democratic Party candidates, if you are offering that, then how is a Small Business or a mediumsize business supposed to compete with the federal government . Youre going to have a Million People leaving their jobs in the private sector to go work for the federal government. It and earn 20 an hour and Free Health Care and free paid family leave and all sorts of other things. Even for to take jobs that dont necessarily need to exist. I mean, this is crazy stuff. Tucker it is crazy. And they are all for it, too. Great to see you tonight, thank you. Not every democrat in the race actually could be elected president. We recently identified for zombie candidates whose campaigns have died but they dont know it yet. We will visit our prediction is our 2020 special continues tonight. [footloose by kenny loggins] been working so hard im punching my card eight hours for what . Oh, tell me what i got ive got this feeling that times just holding me down ill hit the ceiling or else ill tear up this town [ gi ling ] let[ doorbell ]up. [ slap ] your nails xfinity home. Cameras.

Tucker welcomed back to our special broadcasts of the 2020 democratic field here just before the second set of democratic primary predictions here on the show, we saw the sum of the democratic campaigns have actually died already, they are a zombie campaigns. They are over. But the candidates dont know it. After the second wave of debates come our prediction appears to be holding up pretty well could we think it will stay that way. Heres what we said. Two weeks from right now, in 2020 Democratic Candidates will assemble on a stage in detroit, michigan, for the second wave of memory debates. Officially, all 20 candidates will be running for president. But dont be full, some of them like Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren are actual contenders. At least theoretically, they could win. You cant say that for many of the others in the race. These are the zombie candidates. They are long expired but still lumbering around pretending to be alive. As usual, the geniuses in the press corps are the last to know, they always are. You will probably see long articles and segments on television about candidate joe biden, how is he doing . But keep in mind, as you see these pieces, its all a mirage. Joe bidens campaign is deader than disco. It all happened so suddenly in may, biden seemed to dominate the democratic field and then one day, reported asked him a throwaway question about china. Heres what happened next. Do you have a comment on the chinese terrace . My answer is, yes, i do. The president has done nothing but increase the tariffs. The debt and the trade deficit. We have to have our allies with us. Its not just us. We have to keep the rest of the world together. Secondly, we should labor should be at the table, as well as our allies because we should focus on the things that weve been talking about for a long time. Chinas greatest violation is the way in which they steal our intellectual property. If we should make a quid pro quo, as i was speaking with president xi jinping. Heres the deal. If anything has to be on, 50 by chinese to invest in china, guess what, mech it is the same thing. This idea of dealing with the only people that are paying the price our farmers and working people right now. He is going about all the wrong way. All vibrato, no action. Tucker got that . No action, you dont have that because theres nothing to get. Not a single phrase in a single sentence made a single bit of sense. It was bizarre. It was entirely meaningless. It was pretty obvious right then that joe biden was not going to be president of the United States. That was may 14th of this year. That day, we called it. I ignore what they are telling on television. Joe biden is not going to be president. He probably wont be the democratic nonevent nominee. He is not capable of it. There is no reason to be cruel and get more specific than that but just watch biden and ask yourself, really . Anyone who says that a guy come of that guy come is going to win a president ial election at the age of nearly 78 is either lying or deluded. Tucker will not so broad but we were right. Almost of the day, actually, looking back, on may 13, the day before, biden led his democratic rival by an average of 27 points in the polls. That was the apogee, it was the high point. Its been a swift decline ever since. Kemal has called biden a racist on the debate stage and he had no response for her. He then apologize for associating with other democrats in congress, bizarrely. And now, he has fallen to below ten points. In the state of california, he is losing. Another candidate might be able to turn things around but biden cant. In fact, he should be retired right now my chatting with strangers in the produce aisle. Inside, is going to spend the next six months treading whatever it remaining dignity he has as he moves toward the inevitable affiliation of defeat for the third time. Its sad to watch. Now that beto orourke has even noticed it happening. Bito is occupied or not. He is living his own private health. Back in march, things look very different. He was on the cover of vanity fair which is a magazine. He was rotting escape or come who is promising to take america back to the careless exuberance of 1993. Data was live blogging strips to the dentist. Everyone was pretending to think that was great. And then, Pete Buttigieg showed up and write everything. He was even younger than beto and even more when. Located things started started to fall apart. Even though he uses bogus mexican nickname, he still rich white guy who went to boarding school in columbia. Thats on alive allowed in the Democratic Party. He seemed directors recognize, by the way, they refer the first time, watch him grovel at the thought of himself its because youre right, there are things that i have been privileged to do in my life that others cannot the systematic foundational discrimination that we have in this country, and every aspect of life, is something that i have not experienced in my lifetime. And ive had advantages that other cannot enjoy. I have my work cut out for me to be a better person and ensure that i am more mindful to the experiences that others have had different than experiences that i have had. So are those mistakes which mike would you say those are mistakes being on the cover of vanity fair . It looks elitist . What . Yeah, i think it reinforces that perception of privilege and that a headline that i was warned to be in this, and the articles, i was attempting to say that i felt on my climb was in public service. No one is born to be president of the United States of america. Least of all, knee. So, yeah, what about the parttime dead thing . You got sums flak for that one. Speak up slowly, i deserved to be when i deserved appeared with those three words, the beto for President Campaign died a welldeserved death. No one apologizes for it to his family for being himself or simply existing is going to get elected president. If you hate yourself that much, people have trouble liking him. A new College Public New Hampshire voters shows a beto orourke getting a total of 0 in the first of the nation primary state. 0 , nobody in New Hampshire, likes beto orourke. Ouch. But again, welldeserved hit another candidate out of the race. Kirsten gillibrand audit to be celebrating this. If. Fewer candidates to compete with, although, she cant celebrate because jill ran just killed her own president ial campaign. It happened last week in youngstown, ohio. Famously one of this countrys most economically depressed that he spared a woman came forward to ask a simple question of senator gillibrand which is that, my community is falling apart. People are dying. They are in progress. So why is the Democratic Party lecturing me about White Privilege . Speak of the Democratic Party likes to throw around terms like White Privilege. This is an area across all demographics that has been depressed because of an opioid crisis. So, what you have to say to people of this area about socalled White Privilege . Tucker this mightve been an opportunity for kirsten gillibrand. For years, she is not on every ludicrous fad the Democratic Party has offered no matter what it is. From the meat to the stereo to seizing guns from lawabiding americans. Just this one time, children might distinguish herself by resisting and choosing the obvious truth over leftwing orthodoxy. But no, she was afraid to. So she did what she assumed she had to do, she stood on a stage and lectured a struggling woman from the youngstown, ohio, about her weight privilege. Your suffering is just as important as a black or brown person suffering but to fix the problems that are happening in the black community, you need a far more transformational efforts. So if your son is 15 years old and smokes pot, he smokes pot just as much as the black boy in the neighborhood but that black and brown boy is four times more likely to get arrested. That says to her dramatic racism. Your son will likely not have to deal with that because hes white bread so someone says White Privilege, thats all they are talking about. You and imagine saying Something Like that to someone from youngstown, ohio. Its absurd. And its not just absurd, its cruel. You have to be a nasty cold person to say that and jello brand is. Voters can sponsor it shes done. And then theres cory booker. Cory bookers president ial path was simple. Eat a giallo start version of barack obama. He could be almost as cool, almost as historic as barack obama, if he would be president too. I was the chi collation pair but his hopes died in the most possible way. Live on National Television he wins the first democratic debate with a plan. He was going to answer an immigration question in spanish great hows that for clever . It would show his crosscultural appeal. He is a most 50 and went to law school but pandering in spanish might make him look hit. That was the hole. Unfortunate, someone beat him to the gimmick. Beto orourke, of course, had the same idea. He went first. Cory booker was not happy. I was obvious to everyone watching. [speaking spanish] tucker ouch. When you are the only man in america that beto orourke can dominate, its over. Sorry. A better look for in years from now, spartacus. And Elizabeth Warren is not a zombie candidate, she is the opposite. Her campaign has gone up and down but its still here. We will break down her remarkably resilient run for president. After the break. [voice of Eunice Kennedy shriver] the right to play on any Playing Field . You have earned it. The right to hold a job . You have earned it. The right to study in any school . You have earned it. The days of separation and segregation are over. [cheering. ] im jonathan hunt. We are learning more about the motive behind last weekends mass shooting. It left 22 people dead at his el paso walmart. In an arrest warrant after the david came by the associated press, police say the suspect admitted that he was targeting mexicans when he opened fire last saturday. The report also says when the suspect surrendered, he waived his miranda rights and willingly spoke to officers. The government has been charged with capital murder and could face the death penalty. U. S. Officials confirmed that north korea has fired another round of missiles, the second time its happened this week. The pentagon says they were fired from the northeast coast into the sea of japan. This is the fifth round of launches to occur in less then three weeks. Im jonathan hunt, back to tucker. Tucker welcome back to our democrat run for president 2020 special beer last year, Elizabeth Warren believe she would kickstart her campaign by releasing a dna test showing she might be related to standing both pete and said, her dna test shows she was far less American Indian than you are. It was embarrassing. But somehow, her Political Campaign survived and in fact, it thrived. One reason is that she is offering a platform of serious economic nationalism. And thats always popular and for a good reason. But shes also carved out a niche as well as the most radical and aggressive candidate in the primary. Watch. We live in a country now where the president is fanning economic racism, environmental racism, health care racism, Climate Crisis is the existential crisis for our world. Its what every living thing on this planet at risk. Donald trump disgraces the office of president s every single day. Tucker blah, blah, blah appeared more identity politics. Who is this person exactly . Helen carr has followed Elizabeth Warrens career for decades as a radio host and he joins us to make it how we, thanks so much for coming on. So, why is it this is a sincere question for Elizabeth Warren has some i think pretty solid ideas about manufacturing and trade. They are very close to what donald trump ran on last time. Why does she have to wreck the whole thing with these identity politics . The racism . The gender politics . To pretending to be an indian question mike all this dumb stuff. Why does she lard out her Economic Program with that stuff . I think she has to reach out to the base of the democratic electorate that is going to be voting in these primaries. I mean, the weirdest thing that most, absurd thing that she has posters this wealth tax but she says that if you have over 50 million in assets, liquid or a liquid come she wants a 2 tax on everything over 50 million. What could possibly go wrong chris moore to think everybodys going to but theyre not worth 50 million . There were 12 industrialized nations that had this tax in 1990 and only four of them still do. Its those it just doesnt work as she spotted as this candidatf ideas but her ideas are insane. And so now, tucker and also its stale. I mean, i wonder why she is the most aggressive of the candidates. I makes me think shall be the nominee. I mean, she seems like she will say anything if she thinks it will help her. Coming out. She was down at some conference in new orleans, i think last year, and she said at the american criminal Justice System is racist, front to back. And you know, a couple of Police Officers had just been gunned down and coldblooded in massachusetts when she said this end, you know, then, a few years back she said i supplied the intellectual foundations of the occupied wall street movement. Oh, great. Hippies with bombs camping out shooting heroin. On the town commons, city streets. You know, she just says these things and has to walk them back but she has this school or strategy. I dont think its going to sell very well hear the latest thing im reading is, oh, her consultants where these people are saying well, she appeals to joes at six back. Well, i dont see that either. I mean, i think the people who are thinking, if there are any left in the Democratic Party, it ought to remember the last two Democratic Candidates to come out of massachusetts. John kerry and mike dukakis and they were both elitists and day, you know, joe sixpacks already through them. Joe sixpack has alimony all the way. Tucker rate you when you gain the affirmative Action System at harvard. Not joe sixpack. Good to see it. Senator Kamala Harris, so far she has gotten a free pass from the president on her president ial run. They want her to be the next president so they are overlooking her back onto it she is a former prosecutor, as you know, but the president said her lead band as a crusader for resin reform here no one has called her on it until last night. Congressman Tulsi Gabbard of hawaii definitely called her on it. Watch this. There are too many examples to cite but she put over 1500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she had ever smoked marijuana. She blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from jethro until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of california. There is no excuse for that end of the people who suffered under your reign as prosecutor, you owe them an apology. Tucker it was an electric moment. It might be why congresswoman gabbert was the most googled candidate since the debate last night. She joins us tonight for congresswoman, thanks a lot for coming on. So, i havent heard anybody say what you said. Why are you the first person to say this . Look, voters deserve to know the truth. The decision that the American People have before them is a critical one. The decision that democrats have before them about who their nominee should be is a very important one. They deserve to know the truth about the candidates that are before them and especially on this issue of criminal Justice Reform thats impacting so many people across this country because it is so broken and it is an unjust criminal Justice System. Senator Kamala Harris is in a position to be able to make a difference in that when she was serving as attorney general and as i pointed out, last night, she did not fulfill that promise that she said she had which was to be a champion for the people, a champion for the impress. In fact, she did the exact opposite. She didnt made a decision that ended up hurting people, that ended up hurting minorities, and hurting poor people in a state of california which is concerning to me for someone who wants to be the president of the United States and frankly who is claiming to be a prosecutor president. Tucker i think this is a really interesting debate. This topic deserves a real debate. You have a perspective, shes got a perspective, lets hear the vote. She would not engage with you and thats what i found contemptible but also fascinating good rather than rebut what you said, she dismissed you and her spokesperson even dismissed you later as a prudent apologist paid what you make of that . A couple of things. What i was showing was not a matter of opinion pair these are widely recorded facts and reports about her tenure as an attorney general in california. We are not talking about something that happened 30 years ago, 50 years ago, these are things that she did in her last job just before she was elected as u. S. Senator. She should be held accountable for them to your cheese claim to be very proud of this record so, answer for it. The voters deserve to know. But you are right, she refused to answer the questions, she refused to engage on the debate stage and the response is from her and her campaign, after the debate, was basically two laws cheap smears and to basically say that i am a traitor or a Foreign Agent or a trojan horse or whatever it was and trying to feed those talking points to the media so, you know, this is concerning on many levels about how a senator harris would govern as president. Tucker Tulsi Gabbard, things offer coming on tonight. Beto orourke and his skateboard where the two most popular democrats in america in 2018. Now, as president ial campaign is basically over. What happened to you betos mojo . We will tell you as our it was a huge pill to swallow being told that you would never breath on your own, be able to walk on your own or being able to feed myself on my own, completely changes you. You have to realize who the new you is, while living with the limitations that you have on a day to day basis. I was sitting on the couch contemplating is my life really worth it. Wounded warrior project showed me that i am worth it. My first event was a solider ride in seattle and i got to ride 50 miles on a hand cycle that i borrowed from them at zero cost to me. All i had to do was show up. I am so thankful that Wounded Warrior project was there to help me. Being able to open up and not having to reexplain everything thats going on in your life, because they get it. I know of no other veterans organization, that has been able to help me get to where i am now. Where i started off barely being able to move my arms to now being able to walk without holding onto anything. I am living proof. Tucker will conduct to tonight special of the 2020 democratic field. Robert francis beto orourke, still officially running for president pretty slick its coverage and interviews and you will see him standing on the debate stage once in a while. Again, like any other candidate. But make no mistake, his campaign is over. He recalled his first right on this program. A long time ago we described how betos campaign lost mojo to Pete Buttigieg. Heres our analysis. Former congressman beto orourke gave a speech to kids in virginia yesterday. Beto had a microphone and was speaking to the students seated in a small empathy a year. For a moment if you close one eye, he looked convincingly like a campaign event. There were volunteers and massing matching tshirts. He wore a basketball cap as he spoke because wearing what other peoples caps went is what youre supposed to do when you run for president. And to be clear, running for president is what beto orourke says hes doing. Its all a little sad when you think about it. Theyd all work is not going to be the president , least of this country, his campaign is dead. Totally dead. It went toes up last week from a fatal overdose of Pete Buttigieg grade not everyone has heard the knees, the morning his aunt started, but beto orourke for president is done. Future generations will remember beto orourke, if they were call him at all, really as a media story. Remember that guy with the weird nickname that all the dummies on cable news fall in love with in a single day . That was bizarre. And it was bizarre. I saw him for the first time just a month ago when he sat down with oprah and me and the rest of people in the audience thought wow, this guy has this dynamic, positive energy. Yeah, he has that raw talent, he is very kind of obama asking indeed. So the fellows of houston who havent voted democratic before because they have a beto orourke crush going on. He is awesome. Check kevan smith of the Texas Tribune said its like seeing this Jesus Christ Superstar in front of everybody. He has bad celebrity aura. Of the 26yearold cop the nation. His offbeat social media posts appealing to a younger generation. Even taking the skateboarding at whataburger. Tucker keep in mind, thats just happen. The friends he just occurred. It was just last month. Collegeeducated adults in an advanced country with a air travel and air conditioning, talking like that in public. Its pretty embarrassing, my god. But before we get to georgie about it, a confession. We did it, too. Betos personal magic distorted our journalistic objectivity for a second there. Appeared a made up in the skateboarding or maybe it was the weird resemblance to ouyang bobby kennedy. Whatever it was, we lost control like everyone else. Beto loves rock n roll. Hes not like everyone else, he doesnt do stuffy speeches or policy programs, hes not going to bore you with entitlement projections or some scary stuff about the korean peninsula. Betos got a skateboard and where is nirvana tshirts. His vision for this country is 1995. That was the year he was living way out of town and this walk up and lit working for the man with some of the stickiest blood in manhattan. In the cut. A little heavy, but sweet. It was a good time. Beto wants to bring us back to that time. We got a little carried away. Sorry about that. It all seems so innocent then, back a few weeks ago, back in march of 2019. It was his beto and us in a dream. It was a simpler time. We thought anything was possible. We thought we could write our own stories here we didnt even know that even fairy tales and to end one day ours did end. The magic turned to dust and its bitter in our mouths like a peyote button or still is ivan t. One day the music died. Byebye. Byebye weirdly youthful middleaged white guy with fake hispanic nickname. Youve been replaced. There is a new heartthrob and cable news. Hes everything that you were, but more. Hes younger, he is shallower, hes even less experience. Hes gotten an even weirder name, plus, hes. He is the perfect candidate for voters who say they love diversity but dont really want to vote. This candidate code is created an elaborate plan like cnn. Theres no stopping a man like this. On some level, beto orourke must know its no its over. More than six months before the votes are cast in iowa, its done. Im sure he will keep raising money but his political career is done. Cue the sad nirvana playlist. So, what are the lessons of the sinking of the ss beto orourke . Heres one. Maybe you shouldve run on something. Its pretty hard to win on charisma alone, as holy clinton recently discovered. So why not be the one person in the race with big ideas crush market doesnt have to be a big idea, even, how about any idea . Beto orourke couldve tried that. Instead, he just strung together cliches. It was like that where again, mad libs, that you used to play with your brother on the road transfer to get these long seemingly coherent sentences that when you read them, dont actually mean anything. Beto orourke was big on this. Heres beto doing that on the Green New Deal. This country was willing to sacrifice all over the United States to make sure that we defeated germany and that we one that and for the following 75 years, made this world to save democracy. The Green New Deal calls that sacrifice and service and scales eight. It talks about the challenges that we face today. Those are the questions that beto orourke asked just yesterday. So the question for the rest of us is, are voters ready to suffer, i dont know, 400,000 u. S. Combat deaths for the sake of the climate . What does a Carbon Dioxide can now look like . A co2 side pen . When we get to bomb tokyo old again with firebombs . How would that affect the times or . Among, this is stupid. The Green New Deal isnt a deal, its a wish fulfillment. But heres the thing, beto kept a straight face throughout the talk like he really sincerely meant it. Who does that . Well, mediocre people do that had mediocre people tell implausible lies and then demand that you pretend to believe them. It is beto orourke a mediocre person we will let you decide. In 2017, beto orourke gave a total of less than 1 of his income, onethird of 1 , to be precise, to charity could keep in mind, hes rich, very rich. Pierces explanation for why he did that. I served in Public Office since 2005. I do my best to contribute to the success of my community and my states and now, of my country. There are ways but i do this better legible, there are ways but there are charities that we donate to. It but also, im doing everything i can, right now, spending this time with you, not with our kiddos, now back home in el paso, because i want to sacrifice everything to make sure that we meet this moment of truth with everything that weve got. Tucker okay, so save that tape. Its on the internet. Thats from uva yesterday. And youre going to want to download that and keep that for your grandchildren because beto orourke, just as something thats never been done or even attempted by any politician before. That is unique contribution to american political life. Beto orourke has just made the case that his entire life, his entire life, is a charitable donation. All of us get the gift of beto orourke just because hes here. Every time beto speaks, its like endowing a library in burma or curing shingles in malawi or a battling childhood in appalachia or sending mosquito nets to the congo by the millions every time he talks when he tweets, its an act of charity. Its something that makes this world wiser and kinder and more decent and better smelling. Beto is such a good person that he could write himself off of his taxes as he wanted to pay the irs would have to let him. His goodness is so clearly deductible. No one would contend that. It but beto doesnt do that. He doesnt shirk his duty. He will pay the extra tax because he cares that much. Now that you think about it, its almost that he will never be president. Time for a very special edition of the dan bongino news explosion p of the former secret Service Agent will join us in just a moment with the most bizarre stories of the democratic primary so far. Thats saying a lot. Coming up, for our special feature. Tucker time now for the very special edition of the dan bongino news explosion. The fake news of the past become our favorite former new york city policeman is here to listen. It it has been a remarkably bizarre 2028 democratic campaign. Dan bongino ladies and gentlemen, he joins us tonight. Dan, good to see you. I had to take to heart this one because there were so many comical democratic stories up to the cycle so i distilled them down to four. Here is number four. This ones great. Remember old barney cartoon . Shang is carrying . Not at all cases. Beto decided to go to the dentist and share with the entire dental visit. The campaign has been a cavity ever since. Down hill, over after that. I dont blame the dentist, i blame beto. He sometimes sharing isnt caring. Tucker i agree. And not all our cynicism is rewarded, interns, which is a great message. Its good. Really, hes a narcissist. He thinks it so important that people want to see his dental visits. We dont hear but thanks for trying. We appreciate it. Story number three, the 0 is. Who hasnt invented the concept of zero . Was at the babylonians or the absence of value altogether . Well, that is swell well and a ball zeal. You absolutely atrocious politicians i have a hard time discerning which one is worse but at least one of them, at least squall well was smart enough to get out while he could still preserve the warm remnants of his reputation. Bill de blasio, he has no such concerns at all. There is no representation left. Number two, Kamala Harris cant seem to to decide what she wants to be. She flips, she flops, she flips again, she did the old 540. 180, 360, 540 540 printed on health care, kent decided she wants to be tough on crime, loose on crime, she doesnt get it. Thank god Tulsi Gabbard called her out in the last debate. You saw that. I didnt look great for her. And number one, joe biden, apologizing for being joe biden by joe biden cant seem to figure out who joe biden is. I had to right general is pure joe biden has taken opposing positions on health care, Democratic Senators the work truck, the hyde amendment, on busing, apologizing for joe biden is over. Tucker its sad. But in your hands, its also deeply amusing. Dan bongino, great to see you, thank you for that. Thats it for tonight special edition of Tucker Carlson tonight good we will be back monday, 8 00 p. M. , the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and, and groupthink. Have the best we can with the ones you love. Sean welcome to the special edition of hannity beer and im dan bongino in tonight for sean. Bruce ohrs throat to his or her out and let me tell you, the contents are absolutely devastating. We now have document and proof that the highest levels of jim comeys fbis and the obama administration, knowingly loose information tainted with bias to target donald trump and everyone around him, everyone knew the dossier was garbage. A fraud was committed at the fisa court. Trenton associates were spied on all over the world and the witch hunt was born. Last night
