what are we doing? tucker: with synthetic chinese mud attached. thank you, mike. thank you. see you at 3:00 a.m.. tucker: tonight s reality check. news so strange it must be true. the kingdom of saudi arabia has been elected on the united nations commission for wait it, the status of women. not the u.n. commission on sand or legal systems, but the statuo of women that exists for gender equality. both egypt and iran are already members. obviously someone at theua u.n. has a sense of irony, but the saudis? even as a joke, that falls flat. keep in mind, saudi arabia is a country in which every adult woman must have a male guardian, and that guardian s permission is required for females to travel, receive higher education, get married, and even undergo surgery. every woman must wear a hijab
you re a great man. thanks for having me. tucker: tense and with north korea wereea high. but in the past three days, they got even higher. the kim jong-un detained another american citizen. he was trying to leave the country. president trump is demanding tough new sanctions. one false move by either party could trigger a full-blown nuclear war. the question is, what s next. one man who thought about this is michael malice, an expert ona the secretive regime. thank you for coming in. what is the next move? the thing with north korea, it s kind of a cloak and dagger situation. notice when trump struck syria, no one saw it coming. here is all these warnings, the administration is talking, you have the senators being calleded to the white house, he is making a spectacle, so it seems like
it seems to be the democratic message. we don t want you if you voted for trump. you are morally impaired. i think the fact of the matter is, hillary clinton campaign and hillary herself didn t put a good message, and whether it was e-mails or everything else, the incoming they didn t deal with it, the 53% of white women said we re not happy about either, we re going take a chance on trump. tucker: this is the last question, and it is sincere. i think the democratic party needs to win people it didn t win, obviously. a lot of them are in the middle of the country, more traditional, maybe liberal in economics, but not super liberal on the social issues. tom perez just announced today that people who oppose roe v. wade are not welcome in the democratic party. only apparently secular lifestyle liberals are welcome. why would he say that?e i can t explain it. the fact of the matter, is you ve got people like bob casey who simply don t subscribe to that. i don t think anybody is looki
fake mod on the jeans. they don t have dirty jobs but they want you to think so. my beef with nordstrom s isn t that they don t value icons of work. they clearly do. my beef is they don t value authenticity. once again, as a country, what do we - what the hell are we doing? we re distressed jeans are one thing, but these look like you crawled through a sewer, this is what they look like, $425. i know. i have crawled through sewers. i could sell you the same ones for $15 and still make a profit. tucker: if you were making the federal minimum wage of $7.25, you have to work for two and a half weeks before taxes to buy one pair of the working man jeans. in order to look like a working man, right. listen, man, this is a world completely defined right now by fake everything, right. fake news, we don t trust anything that we hear, and part of the problem is because they re screwing with monopoly and asking us to buy a pair of pants like these.
so let s just write this down and make it end that way. i just don t think we can do that. but look, i mean, i might also suggest that the country take a little more inward look at itself and try to figure out why it is look, once upon a time in another life, i had a deal with a blue jean company, you know, and part of what i wanted to do was give the consumer a really clear choice between jeans that were made in americav and jeans that were made overseas. they were identical. these jeans. i mean, i could show you the research if you re into the it, but it was remarkable how the price difference was everything. until those two jeans, the american made and the overseas, the identical same price, it was absolutely no push, no incentive for the consumer to buy american. so it is not just the worker, and it is not just the boss, it is us. tucker: that s totally right.
