1. We will leave with you that. Have a great weekend, everybody. Tucker carlson is up next. Tuc tucker well, good evening, and welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight. Michael, one the president s campaign aides, who spoke to the press after coming out of the briefing. Whatever it takes to help him clear up this russian collusion delusion. Tucker michael with l. Join news a few moments what he saw in congress today. First attorney general Jeff Sessions gave a speech this week to a group of christian lawyers the group called Alliance Defending freedom. The splc has said they are about attacking enemies and shutting down free speech for those that dont agree with them. Again, it underscores the fact that these networks would use this as a source instead of using sources that the federal government has said are reliable and that the right and the left rely on. It does bring up. Tucker here is what i object to is the namecalling. So obviously the reporters who wrote these stories disagree with y
contradictions. contradictions into our own thinking. the refusal to interdict contradictions into your own thinking is parts of logic. from that standpoint i would say yes, atheists are probably more likely to follow the amiable of logic. tucker: i don t believe that i have to admit you seem like a pretty logical atheist. i am. i have been a lifelong atheists. tucker: i hope you switch. it s did depressing in the end. thank you for joining us tonight. thank you for having me. tucker: sarsour. called on to assimilate. the democratic party line nices her. she is a hoe. she is the most reasonable muslim they can find? come on now. more on that next. new feature on tonight s show news quiz. we have the questions. will our anchors peter doocy and elizabeth pla prann?
homosexuals, you know, adopt children, and the third one was whether you think that the meaning of life is a personal question. so, a bunch of random questions. but they ask you to take a position and then they say come up with a bunch of arguments against the position that you took and then they say that they want you to tell them whether they find that persuasive, whether you find that persuasive. so, in order to be not closed-minded, according to this study, you have to come up with a bunch of arguments against your view and you need to say that you find those arguments persuasive. it s not a situation in which you are presented for evidence against your view and have you refused to consider that evidence and then, therefore, you are closed minded. it s asking you to come up with the argument. tucker: thank you for explaining that. that s really interesting. i think the study is more valid than i did before. okay, why? tucker: that is the acid test. that s the position of empa
fundamental approach flawed. i think there is one question that can show you what s wrong with the fundamental approach to this study, and it s this. are you closed minded if you refuse to seriously entertain or to spread fake news? and by that i mean a media-driven narrative for which nobody has provided any evidence? i would say no and, yet, the notion of closed mindedness at the foundation of this study is essentially the same as that. tucker: interesting. flesh that out a little bit. how do you think this study is flawed on its most basic level? so, one of the things that the study classifies as close mindedness is a reluctance to come up with arguments against your particular position. so, they ask you to take a position on three different questions. they are really kind of odd questions that have to deal with whether you think homes should be painted a light color. whether you think that it benefits society to have
tuck tucker one of the big winners in this brave new political environment is linda sarsour. she is a left wing activist. she is now the face of muslim identity politics in america. of course, the democratic party loves her. but what does she actually believe? assess it for yourself. i will respect the presidency but i will not respect this president. our number one top priority is to protect and defend our communities. it is not to assimilate and to please any other people in authority. i hope that we, when we stand up to those who oppress our communities, that assess from us as a form of jihad that we are struggling against tyrants and rulers, not only abroad and middle east and other side of the world but here in these united states of america where have you fascists and white supremacists and islamophobes reigning in the white house.
