>> Tucker: GOOD EVENING.
WELCOME TO "TUCKER CARLSON
TONIGHT."
IF YOU’RE AN INCUMBENT, YOU
TONIGHT WANT TO DEBATE.
UNLESS YOU DROP DEAD DURING A
SPEECH, YOU’RE LIKELY TO BE
ELECTED TO CONGRESS.
A TELEVISED DEBATE CANNOT HELP
YOU.
IT’S ALL RISK AND NO UPSIDE.
OCCASIONALLY THERE’S NO AVOIDING
IT.
DEMOCRATS HELD A PRIMARY DEBATE
IN NEW YORK CITY LAST NIGHT.
THEY HAD NO CHOICE.
BOTH THE CANDIDATES IN THIS RACE
ARE INCUMBENTS.
THANKS TO A COURT DECISION THAT
REDREW CONGRESSIONAL BOUNDS,
THEY’RE RUNNING AGAINST EACH
OTHER FOR THE SAME SEAT.
THAT’S A LOT OF FUN.
FOR 30 YEARS, CAROL MALONEY HAS
REPRESENTED THE UPPER EAST SIDE
OF MANHATTAN.
OVER THE SAME PERIOD, JERRY
MADLER HAS REPRESENTED THE WEST
SIDE.
RATHER THAN DO THE OBVIOUS THING
AND RETIRE, THE TWO ARE
COMPETING FOR THE NEWLY-DRAWN
12th CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT,
COMBINING THE UPPER EAST SIDE
AND UPPER WEST SIDE OF
MANHATTAN.
IT TURNS OUT TO BE THE RICHEST
DISTRICT IN AMERICAN POLITICS.
THERE’S A LOT AT STAKE.
WE FORCED OURSELVES TO WATCH THE
DEBATE.
WE WERE RICHLY REWARDED FOR
DOING THAT.
WE’LL START WITH THE HEADLINES
IN THE DEBATE, WHICH YOU’VE
ALREADY LIKELY SEEN.
NEITHER ONE OF THESE PEOPLE IS
CHEERLEADING FOR JOE BIDEN.
HERE’S MALONEY.
>> WHO PRESIDENT BIDEN RUN AGAIN
IN 2024?
>> YES.
>> MR. NADLER?
>> TOO EARLY TO SAY.
DOESN’T SERVE THE PURPOSE OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO DEAL WITH
THAT UNTIL AFTER THE MIDTERMS.
>> MS. MALONEY?
>> I DON’T BELIEVE HE’S RUNNING
FOR REACTION.
>> Tucker: "I DON’T BELIEVE HE’S
RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION."
THAT’S NOT A PROFOUND
OBSERVATION.
OF COURSE JOE BIDEN ISN’T
RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION.
HE CAN BARELY FIND THE MEN’S
ROOM.
THAT WAS NOT VERY INTERESTING.
IT WAS PREDICTABLE.
WHAT WAS VERY INTERESTING, WHAT
TELLS YOU A LOT ABOUT THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY, IS HOW THESE
TWO CANDIDATES TALKED ABOUT
THEIR PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS
AND THEIR GOALS FOR THE COUNTRY.
WE SHOULD TELL YOU, HAVING
WATCHED IT, THAT FIGURING OUT
EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO
SAY WAS NOT EASY.
THESE ARE NOT SPRY ARTICULATE
PEOPLE.
THEY’RE NOT MAGICIANS WITH THE
ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
ONE HAD TO SIT FOR THE ENTIRE
DEBATE, BECAUSE HE WAS TOO WEAK
TO STAND.
AT ONE POINT, HE BOASTED ABOUT
HIS GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT IN
THE CONGRESS.
THAT WOULD BE IMPEACHING GEORGE
W. BUSH TWICE.
>> AN INSURRECTION IS FOR THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY, FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN OUR HISTORY, TRYING TO
STOP THE PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF
POWER.
THEREFORE I AM LEADING THE FIGHT TO STOP THIS.
TO STOP THIS.
I HAVE PASSED THE TWO
IMPEACHMENTS.
IMPEACH PUSH TWICE.
>> Tucker: TWICE.
THE SECRET TO JERRY NADLER, IT’S
NOT HIS APPEARANCE, IT’S HIS
INTELLECT, WHICH IS SMALL.
OBVIOUSLY HE MEANT TO SAY DONALD
TRUMP, NOT WHAT HE CAN REMEMBER WHAT DECADE IT IS.
WHAT DECADE IT IS.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT JERRY NADLER
MALONEY, NEITHER HAVE ANYTHING
TO SAY.
JERRY NADLER IS ASKED, WHAT ARE
YOU PROUD OF, AND HE’S TALKING
OF MULTIPLE IMPEACHMENTS.
DID THE IMPEACHMENT IMPROVE A
SINGLE LIFE IN THIS COUNTRY?
NO.
SHE WAS ASKED THE SAME QUESTION,
WHAT ARE YOU PROUD OF?
WHAT ARE YOUR PRIORITIES?
SO SHE RESPONDED.
HERE ARE CAROLYN MALONEY’S
PRIORITIES FOR THE UNITED
STATES.
>> OUR WORK IS NOT OVER YET.
WE NEED TO PROTECT WOMEN.
WE NEED TO PASS GUN SAFETY LAWS.
WE NEED TO COMBAT CLIMATE
CHANGE.
>> Tucker: SO THOSE ARE HER TOP
PRIORITIES.
THESE ARE POWERFUL SITTING
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
FIRST PRIORITY, PROTECTING
WOMEN.
IN OTHER WORDS, MORE ABORTIONS,
PROTECTING WOMEN FROM HAVING
CHILDREN, SO THEY CAN CONTINUE
TO WORK AT SOME DEPRESSING
MIDTOWN BANK.
DON’T RAISE YOUR FAMILY.
GO TO WORK.
WELL, MALONEY DIDN’T MEAN BY
PROTECTING WOMEN IS PUNISHING
CRIMINALS, FREE TO BEAT WOMEN
OPEN THE SUBWAY IN NEW YORK, AS
THEY ROUTINELY DO.
THAT’S NUMBER ONE, PROTECTING
WOMEN, MORE ABORTION.
OKAY.
NUMBER TWO, GUN SAFETY LAWS.
NONE OF THESE GUN SAFETY LAWS,
GUN CONFISCATION LAWS, WILL BE
ENFORCED IN PLACES WHERE THE
DEMOCRATS GET A HUGE PERCENTAGE
OF THE VOTE.
THEN NUMBER THREE, COMBATING
CLIMATE CHANGE, BECAUSE YOU
DON’T NEED AIR CONDITIONING IN
THE SUMMERTIME.
YOU DON’T NEED A CAR. LOOK AT SIRI LAMPINGA, THEY’VE
LOOK AT SIRI LAMPINGA, THEY’VE
DONE A GREAT JOB.
SHE DIDN’T MENTION INFLATION.
EVERY POLL TAKEN SHOWS THAT
INFLATION IS THE NUMBER ONE
ISSUE THAT ACTUAL AMERICANS CARE
ABOUT.
SO WHY WOULDN’T MALONEY, WHO’S A
POLITICIAN AFTER ALL, CAN
PROBABLY READ A POLL, WHY WOULD
SHE NEED INCLUDE INFLATION? IT’S POSSIBLE SHE’S NOT AWARE.
IT’S POSSIBLE SHE’S NOT AWARE.
WE KNOW THIS, BECAUSE MARY DALY
EXPLAINED HER VIEWS ON INFLATION
INADVERTENTLY.
APPARENTLY SHE DIDN’T KNOW SHE
WAS BEING RECORDED.
SHE SAID INFLATION DOESN’T
MATTER TO HER BECAUSE SHE’S RICH
AND WE’RE QUOTING.
"I DON’T FIND MYSELF IN A SPACE
WHERE I HAVE TO MAKE TRADEOFFS
BECAUSE I HAVE ENOUGH.
AND MANY AMERICANS HAVE ENOUGH."
OOH, YOU’VE GOT ENOUGH.
YOU’VE GOT ENOUGH.
STOP YOUR WHINING.
TIME TO FIX THE CLIMATE.
WE’RE IN CHARGE OF THE WEATHER
NOW.
SO THESE ARE THE ISSUES THAT THE
LEADERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
AND THE PARTY’S DONORS, MANY IN
SAN FRANCISCO AND NEW YORK, CARE
ABOUT.
THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT INFLATION,
BECAUSE THEY’RE RICH AND IT
DOESN’T AFFECT THEM.
IN OTHER WORDS, THEY DON’T CARE
ABOUT YOU AT ALL.
BY THE WAY, THIS ISN’T JUST TRUE
OF LONGSTANDING ESTABLISHMENT
FIGURES IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY,
IT’S EVERYWHERE.
IT’S ENDEMIC, IN THE FABRIC OF
THE PARTY ITSELF.
EVEN PEOPLE WHO WANT TO JOIN THE
CLUB REPEAT THE SAME LINE.
AT A DEBATE LAST NIGHT, MALONEY
AND NADLER, AT 76 AND 75, WERE
JOINED BY A 35-YEAR-OLD LAWYER,
WHO RUNS A MOTEL MANAGEMENT
COMPANY.
HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A BREATH
OF FRESH AIR, THE FACE OF A NEW
GENERATION.
WHAT DID HE TALK ABOUT?
HE REFERRED BACK 15 YEARS TO
DESCRIBE THE IDEAS.
TURNS OUT HE’S AN OBAMA
DEMOCRAT.
>> I’M A LAWYER, A PROFESSOR,
AND AN OBAMA DEMOCRAT FROM WHOM
I LEARNED THAT DEMOCRATS LEAD
BEST WHEN WE LEAD WITH NEW
IDEAS, ENERGY, AND A NEW
GENERATION OF LEADERSHIP.
>> Tucker: YEAH, THAT GUY HAS
NEW IDEAS AND ENERGY, JUST LIKE
BARACK OBAMA.
THAT’S WHY HE’S SUPPORTING JOE
BIDEN RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION
AGAIN.
IT’S PATHETIC.
IT’S NOT JUST HIM.
IT’S NOT JUST MALONEY, NOT JUST
POOR JERRY NADLER MANY.
IT’S THE ENTIRE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS RUN OUT
OF GAS, EXISTING ONLY TO
PERPETUATE ITSELF.
ALL OF THEM.
KAMALA HARRIS IS A CHILD BY THE
STANDARDS OF THE PARTY, BUT
STILL TALKS LIKE A DEMENTIA
PATIENT, SLOWLY AND
INCOMPREHENSIBLY.
HERE’S KAMALA STRUGGLING TO
EXPLAIN WHAT MAIL-IN BALLOTS
ARE.
YOU’D THINK SHE’D KNOW WHAT
MAIL-IN BALLOTS, GIVEN THAT
MAIL-IN BALLOTS ARE WHY SHE HAS
A JOB.
>> IT’S WHAT YOU WANT.
SO WHEN PEOPLE SIT IN A LINE FOR
HOURS, WHEN THEY SAT AT THEIR
KITCHEN TABLE FOR HOURS,
FIGURING OUT HOW TO FILL OUT
THEIR BALLOT TO VOTE-BY-MAIL,
WHEN THEY DRIVE BY THE DROPBOXS
WITH THE KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT,
PATIENTLY WAITING TO DROP OFF
THAT BALLOT, THEY WERE PUTTING
IN AN ORDER.
>> Tucker: KAMALA HARRIS IS
OBVIOUSLY OUR FAVORITE FOR THE
DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION NEXT
CYCLE, BUT HE’S A PERFECT
DISDISTILLATION OF EVERYBODY IN
POWER IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
EVERY WORD THAT EMERGES FROM HER MOUTH IS A RECYCLED TALKING
MOUTH IS A RECYCLED TALKING
POINT THAT’S BEEN REMOVED FROM A
BANALITY MACHINE.
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE NOTHING TO
OFFER.
THEY BELIEVE IT’S 2005.
YOU SEE THIS IN FOREIGN POLICY
PARTICULARLY, LIVING IN THEIR
HEADS IN WHICH THE U.S. HAS THE
STRONGEST MILITARY, CAN TELL
OTHER PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT.
LET CHINA KNOW WE BACK TAIWAN,
AND THE ENTIRE 75-YEAR-OLD
DISPUTE WOULD BE SETTLED
FOREVER.
THEY REALLY BELIEVE THAT.
THEY HAVE NO IDEA OF THIS
COUNTRY’S RELATIVE MACE IN PLACE
WORLD ORDER BECAUSE THEY DON’T
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT REALITY AS
IT STANDS RIGHT NOW.
SO HERE’S NANCY PELOSI WHO
IMAGINES SHE’S SO POWERFUL THAT
SHE CAN SOMEHOW BRING ABOUT AN
INDEFINITE PEACE.
WATCH.
>> TODAY OUR DELEGATION, OF
WHICH I’M VERY PROUD, CAME TO
TAIWAN TO MAKE UNEQUIVOCALLY
CLEAR WE WILL NOT ABANDON OUR
COMMITMENT TO TAIWAN AND WE ARE
PROUD OF OUR ENDURING
FRIENDSHIP.
>> Tucker: IT DOESN’T MEAN
ANYTHING.
IT’S THE BARKING OF DOGS THAT’S
LESS RELEVANT THAN DOGS BARKING.
TRUST US, THE CHINESE KNOW THAT.
FOR NANCY PELOSI’S PERSPECTIVE,
I SAID IT, THEREFORE IT’S GOING
TO HAPPEN.
PROBLEM SOLVED.
THAT’S THE WORLD THEY KNOW WE
STILL LIVE IN.
THEY IMAGINED, THE UNITED
STATES, IS STILL SO RICH AND
POWERFUL, THAT WE CAN AFFORD ANY
SORT OF POINTLESS FRIVOLITY,
TAMPER WITH THE FORMULA AND
SUFFER NO EFFECTS.
WE CAN FORCE DELTA AIR LINES AND
UNITED TO APPLY AFFIRMATIVE
ACTION TO AIRLINE PILOTS AND OUR
PLANES WON’T EVER CRASH, BECAUSE
NOTHING BAD EVER HAPPENS IN THE
WORLD.
THESE PEOPLE HAVE COMPLETELY
LOST TOUCH WITH REALITY.
HOW OUT OF TOUCH ARE THEY?
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY MAIN
RADICAL IS SANDY CORTEZ OUT OF
WESTCHESTER.
HOW RADICAL? SHE DEFENDS THE INTEL AGENCY AND
SHE DEFENDS THE INTEL AGENCY AND
NIKONEOCON.
MAYBE THEY’RE DEFENDING THE
STATUS QUO.
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT THEY’RE
DOING.
THEY’RE DOING IT BECAUSE THEY
HAVE NO OTHER PLAN.
THE SAD TRUTH IS THAT PEOPLE WHO
RUN THE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAV
GIVEN UP, ON THE PARTY, PEOPLE
WHO LIVE HERE.
THEY HAVE NO SOLUTIONS FOR YOU.
THEY’RE NOT EVEN PRETENDING THAT
THEY DO.
CLIMATE.
THEY DON’T IMAGINE A FUTURE.
TAKE MORE PILLS.
MIGHT AS WELL CUT OFF YOUR JUNK
AND PRETEND TO BE A GIRL.
THAT’S NOT A CARICATURE.
THEY’RE SAYING THAT OUT LOUD.
THEY’RE DONE.
NOW, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, BY
CONTRAST, IS SUDDENLY SHOWING
SIGNS OF LIFE, THINKING AND
RESPONDING TO REALITY.
THERE ARE FAINT SIGNS, TRUST ME,
THE PEOPLE WHO RUN IT HAVE NO
INTEREST IN I THINK WHICHING THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
LIZ CHENEY AND MITCH McCONNELL
ARE ENRAGED BY THE CHANGES.
THEY’RE INTENT WITH 2003.
THEY’D LIKE TO INVADE IRAQ
ACTUALLY.
MITCH McCONNELL HAS GOTTEN
RICH FROM CHINA.
THEY’RE NOT CONTROLLING THE
PARTY.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS
CHANGING.
WE KNOW THAT FOR CERTAIN,
BECAUSE THE RESULTS FROM A
COUPLE OF PRIMARIES SHOW NOT
JUST NEW MASTERS, BUT NEW IDEAS.
BLAKE MARS WON THE REPUBLICAN
PRIMARY IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA.
PETER MYER OF MICHIGAN, FOR
EXAMPLE, THE GUY WHO VOTED TO
ALLOW MEN TO PLAY IN WOMEN’S
SPORTS BECAUSE HE’S SENSITIVE
LOST.
THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY FOR
ARIZONA’S GUBERNATORIAL RACE HAS
JUST TAKEN THE LEAD.
SHE’S NOT LIKE YOUR PARENTS’
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, NIXON
