Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Tucker Carlson Tonight 20180919 00:00:00

Allegedly took place. Brett kavanaugh for his part has denied that any of it ever happened, and so has as High School Friend of mark judge who poured claims was there that night. So that is the sum total of what we know and its still a matter of she said, they said. So without a lot more evidence its hard for anyone to prove anything. But that has not stopped leading democrats from reaching a firm conclusion in this case. How do they know for sure what happened 36 years ago . Because Brett Kavanaugh is a man and therefore he is guilty. Its the y chromosome. Watch as a hawaii and noted geneticist maisie romo describes it. They need to be heard but they need to be believed. Guess who is perpetuating all of these actions . Its the men in this country. And i want to say to the men in this country, just shut up and step up, Do The Right Thing for a change. Tucker did you catch that, the young woman that he abandoned slowly asphyxiated over a number of hours. Ten years after doing that, he ran for democrat and he died a hero. You are watching something similar unfold with the deputy chair of the national committee, keith ellison. Last month he was credibly abused of physically abusing an exgirlfriend, karen monahan. Apparently she never heard about it because nobody in the party seems to believe monahan despite the fact that she is a woman. As she put it i have been smeared, threatened and isolated for my own party all for the sake of the allegation she made for daring to speak in public. We asked the dnc today about the ellison case and they did not have much of a response. We take allegations of sexual abuse seriously and we are working with the state party to review the allegations. Right, we are confident it will be a thorough investigation. On the other hand, why would it be . None of us ought to be in the Investigations Business in the first place. Political parties, college administrators, rappers, all of us. We are not people we want determining anybodys guilt or innocence. We have a Legal Mechanism for doing that. Its not flawless but for almost 250 years our Justice System has function pretty well. Its pretty straightforward. If you believe a crime has been committed against you, you report it. That would include theft, embezzlement and sexual assault. Go to police. Its not easy but its still your obligation as a citizen, if not at least to protect the rest of us from whomever you believe did it. The Police Investigate and a judge or jury rendered a verdict. Thats due process. Its the cornerstone of our system and one of the main reason people moved to this country from other places, because it works. Its more fair they are then by cmm. Cnn cnn. Thanks robin for coming on tonight. I want to hit you with some fairly recent news off of capitol hill. Dianne feinstein, senator from california who was the person to whom we owe this story and is the one who brought it to public attention. She said today, and im quoting, i cant say everything is truthful about what Christine Ford has said. I cant say everything is truthful. How do you respond to that . We know back in august she took a Polygraph Test and determined what she said was truthful according to that test. Now those are subjective and are not admissible in court for example but, there is that. Tucker you dont understand, im not doubting that shes saying what she believes. Im quoting Dianne Feinstein, the person who brought us the story saying, i cant say everything is truthful. In other words, she may be lying. This is the person who brought us the story, who suspended the Nomination Process because of the story, now saying she could be lying. I dont know what to make of that. What i make of that is she wants us to be investigated. They are calling for the fbi to investigate it and President Trump said today he does not want the fbi to investigate that, that Brett Kavanaugh has been through enough already and that is just his personal opinion. But i think the American People deserve to know exactly the character of who the next nominee is for the supreme cour Supreme Court. Tucker im sorry to pause, im getting news in my ear that is breaking right now that and shes saying now it will not be until the fbi completes the investigation. Its hard to even process that is, how could you investigate an event that he apparently took place between three people, 36 years ago. One of whom says does but his money on details. How could the fbi possibly investigate Something Like that . There was an eyewitness in the room who says he will not testify before congress, mr. Ford. But we have to see how all this plays out. Tucker but how could it play out . We dont know the accuser. And by the way, it seems like it seems like she believes what she saying, to me. She seemed sincere. But she doesnt know the address of the house that it took place. She has therapy notes, documentation that she went through trauma. Tucker okay but i dont know that, she saying she spoke to a therapist six years ago about it but that contradicts what shes saying now. This isnt really about getting to the bottom of the story, its about delaying a Supreme Court nomination. I hope not, tucker. As a democratic strategist, i honestly believe, and i think its in the best interest for the Democratic Party to fill that and say, we cant afford to have an open seat heading to midterms because it will drive out evangelical voters who may not like some of the things that donald trump himself has been accused of. Let me ask you really quickl quickly. And i should have prefaced this whole conversation with this. So you are a liar by definition, men always lie and do you by that . Or is that insane . I dont prescribe to that. That doesnt even pass the common sense test, tucker. Lets be honest. Tucker how can i know . This is just my honest common sense opinion here that there are victims of both genders when it comes to Domestic Violence and sexual assault. Tucker thanks very much for coming on. All of a sudden, all kinds of allocations for misconduct from long ago. And then ad that targets the current holder of the ohio senate seat, there were allegations of abuse made by his exwife. Trace gallagher has been following this story. By all accounts, Sherrod Browns 1986 divorce was our released a statement from browns exwife saying disparaging my family for political gain is disgusting and congressman renee see should know better. She says her previous accusations were because of hurt and sorrow on both sides. Tucker trace gallagher, thank you. So thats ohio. We are in washington right now, ive been here all my life and i can say have never seen this city crazier or more paranoid or more intense or more dominant. Heres an example. Three years ago, Brett Kavanaugh made a joke about his time in high school. Unfortunately we had a good thing that we have held firm to this day as the dean was reminding me before the talk, which is what happened at Georgetown Prep stays at Georgetown Prep. Thats been a good thing for all of us, i think. Tucker so hes obviously admitting a Felony Sex Crime there. No. It was a joke and clearly irrelevant to what we were talking about today but dont tell them that we are literal humorless mines of the senate. Elizabeth warren said this. I cant imagine any parent accepting these views. If you can imagine texting Something Like that or putting it on twitter, mindless. And coulter is a writer, as if she needed another example of it, and she joins us tonight. So what do you make of the fact, i was trying to get this straight answer from my last guest. What do you make of the fact that Dianne Feinstein is saying, im not sure i believe Christine Ford now . Dianne feinstein has always been one of my favorite senators, republican or democrat. I was surprise she held onto this letter. I dont think the big issue is the 11th hour, i think the issue is last week we started getting polls showing the democrats started getting a shot of the senate. They really want to get a shot at this nomination. We need a major fbi investigation. As you pointed out, theres nothing to investigate. They want to appoint a Blue Ribbon Commission and maybe they will wrap up their work sometime next february. Its purely for delay. Tucker so can i ask you, why not an independent counsel . I am giving everybody every benefit of every doubt. Im not attacking ford who again, i said he was a nice person. This is a political tactic designed to prevent the president from putting his nominee on the court. Why are the republicans in congress playing along with this . I think some of them, and this is the only thing that i think makes it dangerous for republicans and for kavanaugh and for the republic because there are certain republicans in the senate who so hate trump that they would put their egos above the good of the country, and what so Many Republican said about voting every four years, they would have to do it for the Supreme Court nominee is. Maybe for ben sasse. Maybe not for senator bob corker. They just so hate trump, that could end up hurting cavanaugh. Then you have cnn running the country. Its a meteor running the country because this allegation could be against anyone at any time, obviously nondespicable. The New York Times i wanted to mention since he was cited, teddy kennedy, in the New York Times editorial, things were totally different in the 1980s. The proof of this that people arent taken seriously in the 1980s was to link to an article in the Washington Post citing the New York Times treatment of the accuser of William Kennedy smith. So yes, the kennedys have always had free reign to rate and murder and, the New York Times would go after the accusers. But this isnt a new thing. As long as you are a presumed white male republican, whether its the Duke Lacrosse Case or that Dastardly Haven Monahan and the Rolling Stones story, then the whole thing turned out to be a fake. For now, a lot of the statements about Brett Kavanaugh, like oh hes smirking. And a lot on twitter and elsewhere. He is a white male and white privilege, and its not just democrats and the media running the country, if any white male can be accused with an evidence reaction. Tucker will you shouldnt judge people on the basis of their characteristics. Thank you, its great to see you tonight. So the president is pushing for more transparency on the Russian Investigation so naturally the left is now denouncing transparency and demanding that your government keep more things secret from you. Thats next. 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. You wouldnt accept from any one else. Why accept it from an allergy pill . Flonase relieves sneezing, itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose, plus nasal congestion, which most pills dont. Its more complete allergy relief. Flonase. Nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for allday, allnight protection. Can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn . For allday, allnight protection. Im ready to crush ap english. Im ready to do what no one on my block has done before. Forget that. What No One In The World has done before. All i need access, tools, connections. Highspeed connections. Is the world ready for me . Through internet essentials, comcast has connected more than sixmillion lowincome people to lowcost, highspeed internet at home. Im trying to do some homework here. So theyre ready for anything. Tucker a year ago the Washington Post spoke for the entire press Company Including us by the way when it adopted a new slogan, democracy dies in darkness. And it does. Apparently the president who doesnt like the Washington Post agrees with the slogan so yesterday he called for the declassification of documents related to the rush investigation, including the carter page fisa warrant application. President trump said this about it today. President trump i want total transparency. This is a witch hunt. Republicans are saying it and the democrats know its a witch hunt to but they dont want to admit it. The things that have been found over the last couple of weeks about Text Messages back and forth are a disgrace to our nation. We should open it up for people to see. Tucker so if obama had said that or george w. Bush for that matter, pretty much everyone would nod in agreement. Sunlight is the disinfectant that we all want to. But the new Organizing Principle of the left is that everything trump does is bad so the press is now racing to condemn transparency as a threat to the public. This president shatters so many norms that its hard for people to understand when he does something thats truly damaging. This is one of those times. The president is classifying the material. Any commander and chief who did care would listen to all of his intel agents. Can anyone stop President Trump from doing this . He is arbitrarily releasing part of a fisa warrant. You cant say its politically motivated because it doesnt make sense. I never thought i would live to see that. Then from john brennan, that went even further. He said democracy is actually defined by the fbi agents refusing to obey the elected president from which they work. If mr. Trump in the white house does not relent than they have some decisions to make. They are not going to follow those directions and be fired. But, if they believe it will have serious impact, then they have the obligation since they took an oath of office to the constitution of the united states, not to mr. Trump, to uphold their responsibilities and their agency and department authorities. Tucker those of us who left to the deep state considering, john joins us tonight. Thanks for coming. The only real argument i think against this is, details will be released if that will jeopardize Intelligence Gathering in the lives of who gathered it. If this information is released, and it looks like it will be, nothing is unredacted. Will they Do The Right Thing and resign from their jobs . Im just a political hack carrying water for the Democratic Party. For all the talk about transparency, thats not what were seeing here. We have the president who is chair cherry picking information. This is the president getting involved in this investigation and basically trying to change the new cycle. I dont think its a coincidence that the next business day after his former Campaign Sherrick pleads guilty, all of a sudden hes out there but if he was truly wanting transparency then we would be seeing more than just these cherry picked documents he wants to get out there. Tucker one, white houses have always done that. But i dont understand why i as a citizen, not a click cable news, thats a big deal. Why shouldnt i know that . What we are talking about here is a releasing the declassification of documents that contain Sensitive Information about not only individuals but also about the tactics that are used by going after spies and terrorists. So you have a president who is worried about saving his own rear end and the way he wants to do that. Tucker im not talking about the president , im talking about me and the other 325 people 325 Million People that live here. There was no surveillance of the trump campaign. Carter page had already left the campaign tucker that was the whole pretext. But he left the campaign by the time the surveillance started in the surveillance was directly related to him, not the campaign. Tucker they were spying on people he was in contact with including the campaign. Why Shouldnt The Rest Of Us to be reassured that they had good reason to do that . Or the doj or government . Because when you talk about releasing selected documents, Tara Atomic Cherry Picking documents that you might see, the phis application is the totality. Its what went to the judges in order to get permission to spy on americans. What would they be leaving out . It went to four different applications. I just want to know why my government is spying on americans and why the left isnt mad about it. We are talking about a guy who had been courted by the russians as early as 2016. Tucker what are you afraid of . My biggest concern is, the changing of the precedent, hes actually putting our country at risk. He is lifting up the curtain for terrorists and spies to see how we actually go after them. We will see. And a fisas chair is stand iced corrected. Carter page
