STORY TONIGHT.
TUCKER CARLSON JOINS US NEXT.
♪ ♪
>> Tucker: GOOD EVENING AND
WELCOME TO
TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT.
FROM PHILADELPHIA TO
SAN FRANCISCO TO COLLEGE
CAMPUSES EVERYWHERE, SUDDENLY
THE AMERICAN PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT,
NOT JUST THE PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT
BUT ANYBODY WHO HAS THE MILDEST
QUALMS ABOUT LEGAL ABORTION IS
UNDER ATTACK FROM THE INTOLERANT
LEFT.
THE NEWLY ENERGIZED A NEWLY
RADICAL LEFT.
WE HAVE FOOTAGE OF THE LATEST
ATTACKS COMING FROM THE
UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA.
WE'LL SHOW IT TO YOU JUST AHEAD.
BUT FIRST TONIGHT AND RELATED
MATTERS, ONE OF THE MOST BILL
ORDERING THINGS TO WATCH OVER
THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS HAS
BEEN A STEADY MIGRATION OF THE
AMERICAN LEFT FROM CONCERN OF
CIVIL LIBERTIES TO AN EMBRACE OF
AUTHORITARIANISM.
IT WASN'T THAT LONG AGO THAT
LIBERALS WORRIED ABOUT POWERFUL
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES THAT MIGHT
BE STEPPING ON SOMEBODY'S
RIGHTS, THEY HAD HEARINGS ON THE
SUBJECT.
THEY DON'T ANYMORE PER THEY
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT ANYMORE
PAIR THEY APPLAUD IT.
INSTEAD, THE LEFT NOW CONTROLS
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.
THEY UNDERSTAND A PERMANENT
BUREAUCRACY IS A POWERFUL TOOL
OF SOCIAL CONTROL.
THEY KNOW IT'S ON THEIR SIDE.
THAT'S WHY CNN IS SO INVESTED IN
PROMOTING FORMER CREEPY
BUREAUCRATS LIKE COMEY AND THE
CLAPPER.
IT'S WHY THE NEWS MEDIA BECAME
ABSENTLY HYSTERICAL WHEN TRUMP
POINTED OUT THE PREVIOUS
DEMONSTRATION HAD SPIED ON THIS
POTENTIAL CAMPAIGN, WHICH THEY
ABSOLUTELY DID.
THE PRESS COULD NOT ADMIT THAT
WHEN THEY HAD TO BE ABSOLUTELY
CERTAIN THAT YOU WOULD NEVER
BELIEVE IT.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS A NEW
FAVORITE WORD AND EVERY TIME HE
USES IT, HE IS LYING.
THAT IS THE WORD "SPY."
>> THESE BASELESS CLAIMS OF SPY.
>> TELLING HIM DON'T BELIEVE
WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS
DOING AND THAT HAS DANGEROUS
CONSEQUENCES.
>> THE NOTION THAT SOMEHOW THE
FBI IMPLANTED, PLANTED SOMEONE
INSIDE THE CAMPAIGN TO SPY ON
THE CAMPAIGN IS JUST NOT TRUE.
>> THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO
EVIDENCE THERE WAS A SPY.
>> HE WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE THAT
HIS CAMPAIGN WAS SPIED ON AND
IT'S ONE OF THE WORST THINGS
THAT WE'VE EVER SEEN FROM
GOVERNMENT.
>> Tucker: THE GOVERNMENT'S
BROTHER.
THEY WERE ALL LYING PEOPLE
SHOULD HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU THE
TRUTH, HIDING THE TRUTH, ACTING
AS WILLING TOOLS FOR THE
SURVEILLANCE STATE.
THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF
THEMSELVES.
THEY ARE NOT.
A TOWN HALL STARRING FORMER FBI
DIRECTOR JIM COMEY, A PURE WHITE
WASH.
SHOULD'VE PAID THE NETWORK FOR
SCHILLING FOR HIM.
SPYING, COMEY SAID?
THE FBI DOESN'T SPY.
IT INVESTIGATES.
>> "THE NEW YORK TIMES" REPORTED
THAT THE FBI SEND AN
INVESTIGATOR POSING AS AN
ASSISTANT TO MEET WITH A TRUMP
AIDE GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS
GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS IN
2017?
>> I'M NOT GOING TO COMMENT ON A
PARTICULAR INVESTIGATE OF STEP
BECAUSE THAT'S FOR THE BUREAU TO
DO.
I'M NOT IN THE GOVERNMENT ANY
LONGER.
THE FBI DOESN'T SPY TO BEGIN
WITH BY THE FBI INVESTIGATES.
>> Tucker: OKAY, JIM.
MOMENTS LATER AFTER TELLING US,
I'M NOT GOING TO COMMENT ON
CURRENT OPERATIONS, COMEY
CHANGES HIS MIND.
SAYS IT WAS IMPROPER TO COMMENT
SPECIFICALLY, BUT HE DID.
WHY?
HE HAD TO REPLY THAT SPIES
INVEST GETTING PRESIDENT OF
CAMPAIGNS IS THE MOST COMMON
THING IN THE WORLD.
TOTALLY NORMAL IN HIS WORDS!
>> SENDING AN INVESTIGATOR
UNDERCOVER TO MEET WITH SOMEBODY
WHO IS CONNECTED TO THE
CAMPAIGN, THEY CLAIMED HE WAS
LATER ON JUST A COFFEE BOY.
THAT IS AN EXTREME STEP, NO?
>> THAT WAS THE GUY,
PAPADOPOULOS, THE SUBJECT OF THE
INFORMATION WE GOT FROM THE
AUSTRALIANS THAT HE HAD TALKED
TO THE RUSSIANS.
>> DID YOU SIGN OFF ON THE
INVESTIGATION GOING?
>> I DON'T REMEMBER TALKING
ABOUT THE PARTICULAR STEP.
I KNEW THEY WERE TRYING TO SEE
IF THEY COULD CHECK IT OUT.
THAT'S A TOTALLY NORMAL STEP.
SEE IF YOU CAN GET SOMEONE CLOSE
TO THE PERSON AND SEE IF THEY'LL
CONFIRM WHAT
I DON'T KNOW IF I HAD ANYTHING
TO DO WITH IT, BUT IT WOULD BE
BIZARRE IF YOU DIDN'T SEND
SECRET AGENTS TO LIE TO ADVISORS
ON THE CAMPAIGN, AND IT'S
TOTALLY NORMAL.
OF COURSE HE DOESN'T BELIEVE IT.
EVERYONE KNOWS IT'S TERRIFYING
THAT THE OBAMA PEOPLE SENT SPIES
ON THEIR POLITICAL OPPONENTS.
JIM COMEY SAYS IT'S NORMAL, AND
CNN BACKED HIM UP SO BE QUIET.
IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH THAT
THEN ARE THE ENEMY.
>> THEY START TO MAKE
COMPROMISES THAT STAY ON THE
TEAM, ECHO HIS WORDS AND USE THE
TERM SPYING, AND IN THE PROCESS
HE HAS EATEN THEIR SOUL, THEIR
LOSS.
>> Tucker: IGNORE THE OBVIOUS,
AGREE WITH ME OR YOU HAVE NO
SOUL.
WHO TALKS LIKE THAT?
THE SORT OF PERSON WHO WILL SAY
OR DO ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING FOR
POWER, A SCARY PERSON TALKS LIKE
THAT.
NOT LONG AGO, JIM COMEY WAS ONE
OF THE MOST POWERFUL MEN IN THE
WORLD.
YOU COULD INVESTIGATE YOU OR
ANYONE ELSE AT WILL.
HE COULD RUIN LIVES IF YOU
WANTED THEM TO SOMETIMES HE DID.
HOW DID A PERSON LIKE THAT
ASCEND TO A POSITION OF SUCH
AUTHORITY IN OUR GOVERNMENT?
WHAT KIND OF SYSTEM WOULD
PROMOTE A MAN LIKE THAT?
WHAT KIND OF MEDIA WOULD COVER
