Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Tucker Carlson Tonight 20190827

My senior semester, they were both shot and killed. Imagine what wouldve happened if, god forbid, barack obama had been assassinated after becoming the de facto nominee. Na what wouldve happened in america . Brian okay. Interesting the way you walk off camera when you Say Something like that. Then on saturday, while campaigning in New Hampshire den forgot what state he was in. I love this place. Look, whats not to like about vermont in terms of the beauty of it . And what a neat town. I mean, this is sort of a scenic, beautiful town. Brian in fairness, vermont is nice, it just wasnt there at the time with joe. This isnt simply a bad week. Biden has been really strange things happening for years. Watch. They are going to put you alg back in chains. His mama lived in long island for ten years or so and god rest her soul, although she is, wait, your mom still, alive, right . A man who will be the next president the next president of the United States, barack america. Brian right, and barack would eventually becomee the president of america so he eventually was right. Biden knows things are going right for his campaign. On friday while campaigning atda dartmouth college, he reassured everyone that he is really not going nuts, he asked he said that. I just spoke at dartmouth on health care at the medical school, or, i guess it wasnt actually just on the campus but people from the medical school were i want to be clear,m im not going nuts, im not sure whether it was a medical school or where the hell i spoke but it was on the campus. Brian okay, that should be close enough. A campus. The public doesnt seem reassured though. Instead of you look at this new poll now, the democratic field, you look at all of them,a the wheels seem to be coming off the Biden Campaign. You look at the way that people are responding here for exhibit, this monmouth poll. It shows biden in third place. One point behind biden is Elizabeth Warren as well is Bernie Sanders but its a virtual tie. Physical dead heat but think about where they were and you have to feel as though the Biden Campaign might already feel like their candidate is due. On the plus side, other than warren and sanders, the rest of the bu democratic field doesnt look terribly threatening. You have beto orourke for one who spent his afternoon broadcasting himself making a burger for lunch. He fried it, even worse, he was kind of strange looking which he put something on top of. On the bright side, with that kind of competition, joe, you will never be dead last. Author and columnist mark steyn joins us now. Mark, what was going on with the Biden Campaign . I know it was a small poll and it was just one poll. Only 320 people in it but my goodness. He has lost double digits in points on that very same poll in a short period of time. What is going on . Yeah, and its only two months ago that the hill,sl which reported on this, was saying that he would wallop trump in a landslide headtohead. Theres not going to be a biden trump head to head. Hes not going to be by the time we get to the iowa caucus in the New Hampshire primary, or the vermont primary as he would say, he is not going to be in the race. N i love old people, im the least ageist person in the media. And when i listen to people say biden made gaffes when he was 65, 35, 25, he made his gaffes in middle school,wa the point is when he was saying that, they are going to play you all back in chains, he still had vigor. There are people with a decade and a half on his age who still have more vigor. Janice dean talked to one, and octogenarian, on your show this morning, who had more energy than joe biden. Hes not going to stick around for iowa and New Hampshire beauty will be gone before then. Brian hes got over a wide swath of the africanamerican vote among democrats but the first two primaries dont have a great black vote in hampshire and iowa. Yeah, i dont. I think at some point. Hes in those position that a lot of early front runners are in. Hes electable because he is electable. The minute you have more polls showing him in third place, the principal rationale for his candidacy evaporates. What is his message . What is his platform . What is his slogan . What is his theme . The only thing he has going for him is that hes been around forever, he has name recognition, and is therefore presumed to be electable. When you have polls showing him in third place and worse, if he start slipping into fourth place between below people he has never heard of three months ago, the entire rationale for the Biden Campaign disappears. Brian i asked you to do a lot of things in the past whether itso on the fox and friends couch or on this very show, and im going to ask you to do on beto orourke that he has decided to fry a burger on camera because the dentist thing didnt really pan out for him. Can you try to explain or ever make heads or tails of this . He decides to sell that he fries burgers . Well, because beto orourke has been doing this thing where he had his ear hair trimmed live on camera. Then he went to the dentist live on camera and he is just some shallow narcissist with no substance. So hes decided to show us that he has got substance and following his success at changing a tire without actually jacking the car up, he has nowit decided to fry a burger. Its a very bizarre situation hes got going there with that burger. That seems to be some kind of english muffin hes putting the burger on and i dont want that kind of thing i dont know about two clumps of broccoli next to the burger but if this is what the new menu is going to be in the beto white house, thats not something you want to get mixed up with. Brian i think the American Public is rejecting the minutia of beto orourkes life. Senator Kristen Gillibrand has been in this way forever and hes changed her views on everything from immigration to what you think of the clintons, who were her ally for years, and mentoredum her, to the spot that senator lee clinton would actually give up secretary of state and she seems to be crumbling. Yet she is still confident in her moral superiority over everyone else. This country was founded on some basic moral principles. That we have a moral compass as a nation, oury morality is a country is clearly a knife edge. Its a moral question. Ive been called to fight as possibly as i can to restore that moral integrity and decency. Brian well, is the moral integrity and decency going to propel her, do you think . No, i think her moral compasd is actually sitting at the bottom of lake champlain. She represented a district in upstate new york, by the quebec border and she had a very moderate, very centrist b views that she has tossedd overboard along with her twirling moral compass in the last three months so she just comes across as a shallow opportunist without the excuse of joe biden that she barely remembers what country shes in so she is not the same person she was five years ago and that gives her credibility issue and makes her sound fake when shes lecturing audiences in youngstown, ohio, on how they are suffering from white privilege. This is someone who just embodies all the worst most opportunist most shallow aspects of politics. Brian whatever you want to say about Elizabeth Warner at Bernie Sanders or President Trump, they are themselves. They stay with their same issues, they barely bend, they do some nuances so people can have a real sense of who they are not voting for or voting for. Meanwhile, st. Pete buttigieg is even more confident in his own moral authority. He is very confident about who god is and who god is pulling for and its not his opponents. Watch. By no means true that Christian Faith or any faith requires you to be a republican. Especially in these times. There is a lot about the stewardship of creation that is in scripture that i dont see being honored by the administration right now. Not to mention the stuff about loving your neighbor and taking care of the least among us and feeding the poor. The Republican Party likes to cloak itself in the language of religion and socalled christian senators right now in the senate are blocking a bill to raise the minimum wage, when scripture says that whoever oppresses the poor taunts their maker. It is also important that we stop seeing religion used as a kind of cudgel, as god belonging to a political party, and if he did, i couldnt imagine it would be the one of the current president is supporting. Brian okay, lets not use it but lets just meant mention it. So what is the holy man at Pete Buttigieg up to lately . Last week he gave a speech where he promised easy abortions for all. When i am president , we are going to do more than just stop policies pushing us backward, we are going to ensure access to abortion care and proactively expand access to reproductive health. Brian simple question, whoeh is holier, gillibrand or mayor pete . Gillibrand is cold but mayor petes ostentatious religiosity is a waste of time. He needs to prove he can reach beyond white middle clubs identity politics voters and this kind of stuff isnt going to do it for them. Brian i dont think so. Thanks so much, it was good to see you mark steyn. Always a pleasure, brian. Brian meanwhile, Richard Goodstein is a former advisor towa Hillary Clinton joins us right now. I cant wait to get your take about where we are at right now. First of all, the monmouth poll. I see 400 plus people or at least that in a poll. I dont think a poll means that much. Do you . Actually saw 298 was the sample size and the plus minus is ridiculouslyhe high. Every other poll taken this joe biden beating donald trump month, the fox poll, had joe biden beating donald trump 50 to 38 and there were polls in arizona and North Carolina and texas all taken this month that had biden beating trump. Those are all states off course the trump won in 2016 so are these gaffes something that joe biden would want to do, that his campaign is going to kind of make something up . Of course he would rather not do that but, if joe biden says,ut m not running against the almighty, i am running against the alternative, and if you want to spend the time, im happy to talk aboutna things that over theump has said years, including today where you said what a great relationship his wife if i had with kim jong un, please. So yeah, i think but itar would not shy away from that contest. Brian so if you want a democrat to win and this is ann audition, an ongoing audition that lasts about a yeae and a half, you cannot feel great about how joe biden has done out of the chute, do you . Yes and no. Obviously these gaffes are not great but the public knows him. Theres a reason that hes ahead in all of these National Polls with a thousand respondents where he is up 30, and not else is around those low 20s and the teams because they know him, did they trust him, not just from his eight years in the white house but having been in the senate. Some people say its a song, other people so yeah, i want a guy who knows whats going on and how to make things work in washington. Brian lastly, you have two socialist nipping at his heels. What does that tell you about his party . I think tiny,e the news of t few months of Democratic Politics is that Bernie Sanders is actually sinking a little bit and Elizabeth Warren, who i dont label a socialist, shesit liberal, has actually come up, and frankly, i would say if i were the white house now, shes a person i might think could well come out of this thing and if you talk to republicans who have run recently in states like the ones i just mentioned, that trump won and now biden is ahead, they think that Elizabeth Warren could win. Brian her crowds are certainly growing. Richard goodstein, thank youch very much. Plus, she is authentic. Whether you vote for her or not, at least you know what youre getting. Andrew mccabe just got a big job at cnn but could he soon be facing the inside of a jail cell . Fox news awaiting that option. Details, next. Plus, one of cnns other contributors just suggested trump may have more blood on his hands than hitler and stalin. That story strangely is straightahead. Strangely is straightahead. Straightahead. [upbeat music] now im gonna tell my momma that im a traveller im gonna follow the sun now im gonna tell my momma that im a traveller transitions™ light under control™ brian thanks for watching, welcome back. Forming acting fbi director Andrew Mccabe was just signed at cnn. Its a match made in heaven since they both spent years pushing the russian collusion. But the union may not last as at this moment we understand prosecutors are deciding whether to bring charges against mccabe for his conduct and the fbi. Chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge is all over this story. Catherine, update us. Thanks and good evening. A source close to the matter f tells fox news that federal prosecutors appear close to a decision what over whether to charge the acting director Andrew Mccabe for lying to investigators. The New York Times first reported that mccabes legal teameg met last week with the Deputy Attorney general and u. S. Attorney for d. C. Department Justice Department declined to comment but these meetings are u often irused by the defense as their last shot to argue against their clients indictment. Mccabe, a frequent target of the president , was fired last dear after the Justice Department Inspector General michael e. Horowitz found he lacked candor under oath over his role in a media leak about the fbis Clinton Foundation investigation. Three weeks ago, mccabe filed this 48 page lawsuit against the fbi and Justice Department for wrongful termination and recently joined, as you mentioned, cnn as a contributor. Earlier this year, he told the network the allegations are false. I never lied, never deliberately misled anyone, not in the ig office, not in the fbi, and certainly never director of the fbi under any circumstances at any time. Mccabes legal team did not respond to foxs request for comment. Brian catherine, quick question. Part of this disagreement and part of the discrepancy is mccabes story and comeys story. This is not about trump or horwitz. Its about those two in a way. Its that the Inspector Generals report found at least a handful of events where there was a discrepancy between mccabe, the facts, and the investigators but probably one of the most important voices on his was the former fbi director james comey who said he was unaware of these leaks and he took issue with the fact that the leaks confirmed that there was an investigation into the Clinton Foundation and at that point, the fbi had not done so. Brian right, thank you so much. Notice the words intentional or where they couch their statements. Meanwhile, im splitting the screen right now with joint base andrews as the president of the United States is now back home after spending the last few days of the g7 over in france where a lot was accomplished. The japanese deal, trade deal was done in principle. It looks as though the china deal is back on track, according to reports from both sides, and there might be the makings of a wouldbe conversation between the president of iran if the french president had his way and the president of the United States. He had a chance to sit down with some of the leaders, many of which were friendlier than they were a year ago. One of them was Boris Johnson who had just taken over the reins at the u. K. Emmanuel macron and the president of the United States had a joint press conference after they took two questions each, the president went on for 45 more minutes, so the president will go from there to marine one back to the white house and its business as usual tomorrow. We will bring you the latest if anything happens or the president talks, we will intro. Meanwhile, back to our regularly scheduled programs as i take the screen back over. Mccabe or no mccabe . Cnn has no question of contributors. Another one, brian seltzer. He had former Duke University psychological professor alan francis on and he made his bizarre claim that the President Trump might be more responsible for more deaths than adolf hitler and stalin. I have known thousands of patients, almost all of them and they are good mannered, good people. Trump is none of these. One thing to deal with trump is a terrible insult to the metal real and they are problems stigma as it is. Trump is as destructive as a person in this centuryry as hitler, stalin, and mao were m in the last century. He may be responsible for many more deaths than they were. Brian is that unbelievable . And he just sat there and did nothing to interrupt this rant. He said he failed to do so because of technical difficulties. Dan bongino has no technical difficulties. He shows up without a tie and he was an nypd officer, worked for the secret service and it now joins us again. Dan, sometimes there are a technical difficulties and you missed it but that was a long rant. How do you that pushback on that . Listen, man, youve been doing is a long time. You dont really believe that, right . Just to be clear. That was not a technical difficulty. You know how i know that . I havent been doing this as long as you have been, but its been eight years. Heres how you know. Go to whats your show called . Unreliable sources . Brian reliable sources. They can call it reliable sources, thatss one of the great mysteries of our time, how his show got the title reliable sources. Im going to call it unreliable sources. Go to their twitter feed and you will see they promoted the clip. They promoted it. Like, on their twitter feed. So if you are having an technical difficulty and this was such an embarrassment for your show, which it was, this abhorrent statement this guy made, which was really horrible, you wouldnt think he would go out and promote it yet and watch his response. Again, this guy is the most unreliable source and watch what he does. He nods his head, he goes, yeah. This is total nonsense. As you know, there are producers in here, somebody could be talking right now, theyre not. When somebody does that, they could get in your ear and say you might want to cut this short. Nobody did that. So if he was having technical problems, somebody heard him because he was still on the air. Why was nobody stopping this . G the reason is stelter is lying. One more thing about stelter, r captain unreliable, this is the same guy whos been calling out this network and other places. He called out mark levin for being a conspiracy theorist for saying there was a fisa warrant on trump. He never apologized for that. This guy is the lead conspiracy theorist out there and im getting tired of this guy. Brian dan, thanks for finding us up. We had to cut the showon little bit because the president of the United States decided to land just before i introduced you. Please dont hold him personally responsible. I understand. You are very good. I like that. Brian thank you, i enjoy your sarcasm. Its always enlightening. Meanwhile, cnn news day panel went through a state of psychic shock over reports that President Trump proposed using Nuclear Weapons to disrupt hurricanes. This is so ridiculous. I keep wanting you want to wake me up and tell me this is a very long terrible bad dream but its real. A real thing. This actually worked before and we do need to recognize that. In what part . It was sharknado. It worked in sharknado. This is the president of the United States. This is just crazy. There is a Ripple Effect that could happen for land, sea, for people if he did Something Like this. There needs to be someone who vets what he says. Brian number one, he didnt say, it was reported that he said something inside the oval office to a staffer who later denied it. E meanwhile, leaders, celebrities, and others are in a panic overan the burning amazon rain forest. Everyone from french president Emmanuel Macron to Leonardo Dicaprio who pledged some money, cristiano ronaldo, have been posting photos on ther ongoing amazon fires. One problem. Most of the photos are fake and many are years old from regions that arent even the amazon according to nasa, the amazon is really burning right now. What is the truth . I recognize him from other Television Shows and i see him in person. Author of the book the climate chronicles inconvenient revelations you wont hear from al gore and others. Joe, first off off, on hurricanes. Th it is not a new concept, isnt . No. No ones going to nuke a hurricane. Ewhat is going to happen is the radiation will go up and it will fall on everyone when it comes to mind but no, we used to seed hurricanes with silver iodide in efforts to disrupt them and in the last storm that was done with that, it was debbie, 1969. Project storm theory and it decreased the wind 31 on the first day, 18 on the second day. Now to make that palatable to folks at home here, that means 150mileanhour hurricane and a decrease without much down to 90, 95 miles per hour. So i am advocating starting a project storm here again here be a brilliant scientist of the National Hurricane center, Great Research scientists, they get their hands on that data and we seed a few storms out in the atlantic, guess what, we may be able to somehow disrupt storms that are coming to the coast in the last 24 hours. Brian lets talk about the amazon, if we could. The amazon right now, theres buyers. Does not have the concern, the brazilian leaders, their french leaders. Right now, what is the truth about the amazon . Is Global Warming burning up the nations lungs . Theng worlds lungs . Well, the globe is greener than its ever been in the satellite era. That was announced by nasa. He brian what is the significance of that statement . Nasa isnt exactly agreeing with you on Global Warming. They believe that humans are causing it. I believe that humans are causing it very slightly but thats another story for another time. The amazon has had abovebo norml rainfall this year. Thats the first thing. Second thing, very interesting to us, the water is cooling all through the southern hemisphere. Its much cooler than what it was two, three years ago. Er the sea surface temperatures. That has implications. And in south america, the last three or four weeks, and as a matter of fact for the last 90 days, has been cooler than normal. I will tell you what this is. This is weaponization of the weather and now brian what you mean . Someone is weaponizing the weather . I wrote about in my book. It every single event that shows out there going to say, look at this, look at this, the average person doesnt know what happened 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago. D we love looking at the pass because its what you stand on today to reach for the future. So we s compare all of the thins that are going on and when you hear statements like that, you realize nonsense. Brian rainfall is up, oceans or colder. Lastly, is it the lungs of the planet . Well, the entire greenery of the planet, you know, are the lungs of the planet but the planet itself is getting greener. Its never been greener than this in a satellite era and thats a good sign. Brian all right, joe bastardi, thanks so much. Great to talk to you. Straight ahead, the New York Times says seattle has solved its drug crisis. What does that actually mean tos residents there . Thats right, next. Plus, according to reports, tucker will be making a special appearanceep tonight. That just ahead. That means he gets paid. Good job, tucker.

Com brian on friday, the New York Times posted an article claiming seattle has figured out how to end the war on drugs. According to the times, seattles solution to the war on drugs was in effect surrender. The city no longer prosecutes individuals caught with small amounts of drugs. Even very hard drugs like heroin. So has seattle become a paradise . Have drugs basically vanished from the streets . Has people found homes . Radio host, jason, you might have an idea. Jason, what you see about this program that was lauded by this columnist . Well, its a program that certainly can work in certain elcircumstances. Unfortunately whats happened in the seattle area is they dont actually prosecute people ofna drugs they say that they wont charge anyone who is holding up to a gram of heroin or cocaine or meth but the truth is its up to three if you talk to cops and as a result, they are basically saying look, we are not going to throw you in jail but we will give you treatment if you want to be thats fantastic except there is now no leverage from cops to use jailil time to throw in front of them as a means to get them into a program or more broadly, to go after the drug dealer. And so because you are not throwing anybody in jail or letting police police, youve got drug use being rampant. Weve seen an increase in Overdose Deaths since this program that they talk about in the New York Times has gone into effect and i would argue its because they are notme actually going after the drug use. Brian so they would like to take offenders that are homeless and have drug issues and put themem into rehab and ty feel as though that will be more productive than putting them into prison. However if the Seattle Times poll works, 50 now support a zero tolerance policy on homeless encampments and 60 percent believed the problem is getting worsese becae that waste money by being inefficient. So its not solving it and that column actually hurt the reality on the ground, didnt it . Whats ridiculous about this piece is if you look at some of the comments on the New York Times piece,he people actually live in this area and are saying what you talking about . Have you ever actually even visited the seattle area . What was put there in his position where they author wanted to support the a positios in place, the policies in place, so he looked for a story that he could tell it to back it up but the reality of the situation is much different on the ground and n live in very progressive seattle. I am 1 of 17 conservatives who live here and the fact that so many people are upset now with the general direction of the city should be a wakeup call to these folks that its not working and people are sickk and tired of it. Brian a lot of people watching right now, especiallys when it comes to opioids, unexpectedly, dealing with drug addiction and their family mac prison will just put an endless cycle. We are not saying thats a bad ideal but to say its working is not beingt accurate. Add to that, arent you the same city that decides attacks major corporations to the tune of 200 275 tax per employee on seattles largest employers . You raised 47 million a year for the homeless situation and basically almost lost every business . Yeah, i mean, they tried to do that and there was a push back on like what they have ever seen in City Government so they originally presented that, passed unanimously and the atpushback was so significant tt they ended up retreating on it. But you are absolutely right. And a big key point in all this is no one is saying throw people in jail. People are saying let police do their jobs, but also, let the rehab work. They both have to work at a the same time. Brian fox is doing something online. Foxnews. Com looking at all these west coast cities and the tproblems theyre having with te homeless situation and a lot of it is drug related. Mental illness related. We know its a huge problem and money will not solve it. Jason, thanks so much for bringing some reality to a New York Times column. Here we go, President Trumps trade conflict with china has erupted into a fullblown war. Trade war. Last week china s. Announced new tariffs on a5 billion worth of goods as you know. The u. S. Responded. President trump announced that in the next two months, he will raise tariffs by 5 and 550 billion of chinese imports. Now, stocks went a little crazy on friday. They bounced back a lot today but can the u. S. Win this trade war . Harry, i wanted to get perspective from china, but the problem is, every newspaper there is state run, so we get the governments perspective. The New York Times reads like the national enquirer, so whos winning this thing . The bottom line is if you look at the structural components of this trade war, the United States would be destined to win it and its a simple math problem. The u. S. China trade relationship has been worth almost three quarters of a billion dollars. Something like 700 trillion. The United States imports over 500 billion of chinese goods. The chinese only by something the chinese only buy Something Like 130 billion. Look at the amount of tariffs that each side can apply that the structural components of this, its the American Consumer that has essentially paid for the modernization of china. You think for one second the chinese want to give up those experts . No way. I think the chinese will eventually be forced to make a deal. I think trump is right on that. E brian so far, chinas total debt has rose over 300 of its gdp. You think our debt is bad . They have a huge problem and they pretty much take care of things themselves. They dont have to worry about a fed. Also their trade war has put a dent in efforts to repair the massive debt and they are at the lowest growth rate in 27 years. Those are facts on the ground. How much does that have to do with the battle we are having to restructure our trade relationship . Its actually worse than that. I have heard private statistics that is close to 350 of gdp. Because of our tried and had to do in the great recession, they did not want to have a recession. Instead, they took ans trillions of dollars in loans to pop up their economy. They build highspeed rail to other countries, roads and bridges. The balloon to gdp numbers. Now they cant pay that back and the Central Government is having to take on a lot of those loans and is saddling them with the debt. The long term problem here is the chinese need United States u economy to grow so eventually you are going to seal the deal and i think you might see an internal deal that the chinese are going to have to send 70th anniversary of the peoples trepublic of china. Do you think xi jinping is going to want to have problems around october, when they are having a celebration . No way. Brian last question. Do they not like dealing with this president . I dont think they are going to be able to wait out this president at all that hes committed here when he came into office to take on a turn at the right, to stop the appeasing policies of president obama, he isikd doing the right thing. Brian youre an expert in the entire region, as well as korea. It all plays into one. Thanks so much. Meanwhile, 20 minutes before we are done, tucker may be out tonight technically but he will be back with the special appearance after the break which means he does not have to count it as a vacation day.

Brian mankind has been journeying into space for more than a halfcentury but for the first time ever, authorities are investigating what appears to be the first ever crime in space. Chief breaking news correspondent Trace Gallagher all over the story. Trace, is it true . Talked to both nasa and the Global Space Law Center at Cleveland State university and they say they are not aware of any previous criminalri allegations in space, so as you might imagine, this is grabbing some headlines. Here is the crux. Astronaut ann mcclain and former air force intel agent summer worden are going through an ugly divorce complete with accusations that worden assaulted mcclain. And mcclain is trying to take custody of wordens young son. The women have been married five years and is separated about a year but ms. Worden says she was recently surprised to find out that her estranged spouse still knew so much about her finances including her spending habits so she put her intelligence background to use and ask her bank what computers had recently accessed her account and sure enough, one was registered to nasa. Worden immediately filed complaints with the federal trade commission and in the nasa Inspector General accusing mcclain of Identity Theft and improper access to financial records. Mcclain fully acknowledges accessing wordens account saying she was doing what she always did, making sure there was enough money in the account to pay the bills and take care of the child. Mcclain goes on to say she used her old password and had no idea the account was offlimits. Summer worden has a different take. Watch this. After i filed for divorce, i strongly advocated that i did not give her permission to be in my bank account. The nasa ig is now trying to get to the bottom of this but ann mcclain is being talked up as the first possible woman on the moon unless of course some space force takes her intergalactic passport, deeming her a risk. Brian and this will be online shortly so we will probably get to the bottom of this. I know you will follow the story. Thank you. I appreciate it. Ive been talking but all show, a special appearance by tucker carlson, somebody hit play tucker every year, the United States spends almost 700 billion on National Defense and for the most part, we are happy to do it. Thats supposed to provide us with the strongest and most impressive military in the world, capable of protecting us from all kinds of conceivable threats but some people see the military as a vessel of a very different purpose. Purpose spreading woke values. James is a veteran and former u. S. Army officer and author of the fantastic new book called stand down how social justice warriors are sabotaging americas military. He joins us tonight. Thanks very much. We havent done a lot of segments on this topic because, being honest, i find it so upsetting. The u. S. Military, the one remaining Noble Institution in america and the idea that the left would be would havee infiltrated it and would be using it to for its own ends is so upsetting. You make the case that thats happening. It absolutely is. The army that i joined during Barack Obamas first term was nothing like the army that i left at the end of hisis second. Social justice warriors imposed a Progressive Agenda on the rylitary with no regard for the harm they caused to military readiness and national security. We are still paying the price and the American People deserve to know. Look, the stakes are high. I think general mattis said it best when he said, and im paraphrasing, that the social justice demands imposed harms that will only be evident to oua Political Class after a military failure. So in my book, stand down, shows that we are still paying the price for Barack Obamas social engineering in the military and it serves as a warning that if progressives retake the whitect house in 2020, we can expect the harm to military readiness to be huge. Tucker traditionally, conservatives believe that the level go after the military by an adequately funding it. You are describing something far more sinister, why they are basically trying to rotted from the inside. Is a fundamentally different view of what the military is about. For example, Barack Obamas undersecretary of defense said that his goal was to make the department of defense the nations most progressive employer but the job of the military isnt to be m more woke than apple or google. Its to defend us all by fighting the nations wars. Thats the job of the military. Tucker by killing people. That is the drop of the military. International. Tucker so give us an example, at the risk of depressing all of us, of how the militarys mission has been distorted by the left. Sure. I can give you two. For the first one, i think most americans would be appalled thas you hear that the Naval Academy has safe space signs outside instructors doors, military and civilian, saying that the instructors have taken a sensitivity course called trans 101 that is taught by contractors for google. Some instructors, not all, but trans 101. Tucker trans 101 . What is that . It is a sensitivity course that focuses on all of the things that you would imagine but thats emblematic of just changes across the board at every level and every branch. Tucker why would a soldier need a specific set of views about Transgender Politics . What does that have to do with war fighting . I think like Everything Else that comes from a different view of what the military should be. One of the major things that i uncovered in this book is that after the first female soldier has graduated from army ranger school, a significant number of whistleblowers contacted congressman Steve Russell and told him that they had beenn pressured to pass the first candidates and that standards hadnt been followed by the obama dod stonewalled the russell for months and refused to meet with him and then told him that the documents that even requesting had been shredded but i was able to obtain some of those documents and publish them and sure enough, the whistleblowers were telling the truth but the Obama Administration didnt care. The dod wasnt interested because it didnt fit with the agenda that they wanted and they were happy to undermine the integrity of the military. Tucker thats the most reckless thing a bird in a long time, and they never got credit for it. This book rectifies it. Stand down how social justice warriors are sabotaging americas military. Thank you for writing this book. Brian he had to write the book. For decades, posing florida is the mark of the most original conspiracy theories. But can those conspiracy theorists have been right all along . We have new news suggesting floridated waterou could be makg our kids dumber. You want to know about that . I hope so. The music is to get louder and then we are going to go to a commercial and we are going to come back and then thats the side of my head.

Com brian for years, cranks and conspiracy theorist has been sounding the alarm about fluoride in the water supply but do they have a point all along . A canadian study published last week in a top pediatrics journal found that fluoride consumption by pregnant women may reduce the iq of their children. E how worried should we be . Dr. Marc siegel went to school to learn about all of. This. Hes a fox medical contributor. What aboutit this study intrigus you with anything . It intrigues me because of the fear quotient. Im far more worried about tooth decay than i am about fluoride. As a matter of fact, cdc, centers for disease control, calls fluoride one of the top ten how the accomplishments of it reduces cavities by 25 percent. Guess what you have when youre pregnant . More cavities. Guess what cavities we do . Premature birth. Low birth weight infants. Guess what happens to them . Lower iq. So theres no way that fluoride will lower your iq more than having tooth decay and its only three or four points here. Its a ridiculous study. Brian so here is the ostudy. Very small number. Brian 512 pregnant women from six canadian cities measured their exposure several ways analyzing the amount of fluoride in their urine and looking at the tap water they drink and a teenager and n comparing the for a concentration in the Community Drinking water and then they found these women who had children from the age of three or four in the research came back that the iq tests were lower. No proof, its just an association. They dont prove it and its three points lower. Im telling you, tooth decay would make it ten points lower. Because of the problems in pregnancy that results from it. I dont believe this study either because its only 500 people, its a very small number and they dont look at a control group. People that didnt get fluoride versus people who did get fluoride, its not proof. All it does is scare people and theres plenty of conspiracy theories out there. The russians brought fluoride here and infected all of us, you know, one of those conspiracy theories, complete lies. Brian so the thing is it was in a credible magazine. Usually credible. Co they lost credibility because of this. Brian the editor. Put it in there, but again note in there, saying that decisions are publish it was not easy. If you had all these reservations why put it in . They should not have put it in. Hoall it does is get people more afraid of something thats protecting them in a huge way. Brian he ise dr. Marc siegel, hes always protecting us. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thats about it for us tonight, unless sean didnt show up, i will go a little bit longer. Tune in at 8 00 p. M.
