♪♪ >> TUCKER: GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT. NOT TRYING TO BE CRUEL JUST READING THE NUMBERS. JOE BIDE ISN'T THE MOST UNPOPULAR PRESIDENT THAT THE UPS HAS HAD IN A VERY LONG TIME. VOTERS DISLIKE KAMALA HARRIS EVEN MORE. THAT'S A PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE NEW ADMINISTRATION'S HONEYMOON PERIOD. THE PART WHERE EVERYONE THINKS THEY ARE GREAT. SO IT'S NOT GETTING BETTER FROM HERE. THIS IS AS BELOVED AS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WILL GET. THE STATE DEPARTMENT CAN READ THIS. THEY UNDERSTAND AND THEY ARE WORKING ON A SOLUTION. THIS WEEK TWO WROTE A PIECE ON THE "WALL STREET JOURNAL" CALLING ON THE PARTY TO SUPPORT HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT IN 2024. SHE'S THE BEST POSITIONED CANDIDATE TO WIN A NATIONAL ELECTION. SHE'S ALSO, THEY NOTED, YOUNGER THAN JOE BIDEN. FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON AGREES WITH THIS OR SAYS HE DOES, ANYWAY. HE TOLD "PEOPLE" MAGAZINE THAT HIS WIFE "THE MOST QUALIFIED PERSON TO RUN FOR OFFICE IN MY LIFETIME, INCLUDING ME." IN FACT, FAILING TO ELECT HILLARY IN 2016 WAS, IN BILL CLINTON'S ESTIMATION, A HISTORIC NATIONAL TRAGEDY. "ONE OF THE MOST PROFOUND MISTAKES WE'VE EVER MADE." UNFORGIVABLE, REALLY. THE GOOD NEWS IS, WE NOW HAVE A CHANCE TO CORRECT THAT MISTAKE AND YOU DON'T GET THOSE VERY OFTEN IN LIFE. TYPICALLY WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING RASH OR STUPID YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES. IT'S PROBABLY HAPPENED TO YOU. ONE NIGHT YOU'RE LISTENING TO BORN TO RUN AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOT BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN'S FACE TATTOOED ON YOUR LOWER BACK. IT'S EMBARRASSING AND ALSO PERMANENT. THINK OF HILLARY CLINTON AS AMERICA'S NATIONAL TATTOO REMOVER. SHE ALONE COULD ERASE THE STAIN OF OUR YOUTHFUL BAD JUDGMENT. GOD BLESS THAT WOMAN. WAIT A SECOND. HILLARY CAN'T WIN WIN. SHE'S YESTERDAY'S CANDIDATE. THIS COUNTRY HAS SHOOTER ATTENTION SPAN. WE WANT THE NEW THING AND HILLARY CLINTON ISN'T NEW. SHE'S BEEN AROUND FOREVER. WE'RE BORED WITH HER. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU DON'T REMEMBER HILLARY CLINTON VERY WELL. CALL IT WHAT YOU WILL BUT SHE'S NOT BORING. SHE'S LIKE A BECOMES OF CRACKER JACKS. SHE'S FULL OF SURPRISES. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET THERE ARE DAYS WHEN HILLARY SEEMS LIKE SENSIBLE MIDWESTERN METHODIST WHO GREW UP REPUBLICAN IN THE SUBURBS OUTSIDE OF CHICAGO. THAT'S THE BIOGRAPHICALLY ACCURATE HILLARY CLINTON BUT IT'S HARDLY THE ONLY HILLARY CLINTON. DURING THE YEAR SHE SPENT IN ARKANSAS, FOR EXAMPLE, HILLARY OFTEN PLAYED THE LOYAL DAUGHTER OF THE AMERICAN SOUTH. A SOUTHERN FRIED DIXIE LADY WITH A SPUNKY FEMINIST TWIST. THAT WAS THE CHARACTER SHE WAS PORTRAYING WHEN WE FIRST MET HER 30 YEARS AGO THIS MONTH. DURING THE 1992 PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES. LISTEN TO HER ACCENT HERE. >> YOU'RE LOOKING AT TWO PEOPLE WHO LOVE EACH OTHER. THIS IS NOT AN ARRANGEMENT OR AN UNDERSTANDING. THIS IS A MARRIAGE. THAT'S A VERY DIFFERENT THING. >> I'M NOT SITTING HERE AS SOME LITTLE WOMAN STANDING BY MY MAN LIKE TAMMY. I'M SITTING HERE BECAUSE I HONOR HIM, RESPECT HIM, AND WHAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH TOGETHER. >> TUCKER: YOU DON'T HEAR A HINT OF PARK RIDGE, ILLINOIS, IN THAT. PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. BUT THAT'S HARDLY THE ONLY PERSONA IN HILLARY'S QUIVER. SHE CONTAINS MULTITUDES. WHEN SHE FEELS LIKE IT HILLARY CAN TRANSFORM HERSELF ENTIRELY FROM A MIDDLE AGE RICH WHITE LADY TO A WEARY BUT DIGNIFIED HOUSEHOLD DOMESTIC TURNED CIVIL RIGHTS PROTESTOR, BRUISED AND BATTLED FROM A HARROWING MARCH ACROSS THE BRIDGE ON THE ROAD TO FREEDOM. SOMETIMES HILLARY CLINTON IS JUST SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED. >> I DON'T FEEL NO WAY TIRED. I'VE COME TOO FAR FROM WHERE I STARTED FROM. NOBODY TOLD ME THAT THE ROAD WOULD BE EASY. I DON'T BELIEVE HE BROUGHT ME THIS FAR TO LEAVE ME. [LAUGHTER] >> TUCKER: IT'S NOT A BAD IMPRESSION. OF COURSE, THERE ARE OTHER DAYS WHEN HILLARY DOESN'T TALK AT ALL. THAT'S IN HER REPERTOIRE, TOO. SHE JUST POINTS HER FINGER AT YOU AND KACLES WILDLY LIKE ON A SOME WAY. IS SHE CASTING A SPELL? IS SHE GOING TO BITE ME? YOU'RE NEVER SURE BUT HER STAFF ISN'T WORRIED. THEY THINK IT'S ALL PART OF HER SECRET SAUCE. IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY GENTS LOVES HILLARY. HERE'S THE CAPITOL ROUTINE. >> WOULDN'T IT BE INSANE FOR YOU TO RUN FOR OFFICE? [LAUGHTER] >> IS SHE SITTING ACROSS FROM ME RIGHT NOW? [CACKLING] >> I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT'S FUNNY. DID YOU HAVE ANY IN PERSON BRIEFING. I DON'T FIND THAT FUNNY AT ALL. >> HOW DID YOU KILL JEFFREY EPSTEIN? [CACKLING] >> THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT. INCLUDING -- [CACKLING] >> I MEAN, REALLY. YES, IT DESERVES A LOT OF LAUGHTER. >> TUCKER: NO, SHE DIDN'T KILL JEFFREY EPSTEIN. [FAKE LAUGH] >> TUCKER: OR STARTING TO SEE HOW HER PHENOMENON BEGAN IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT WAS ALWAYS A GRASSROOTS, PRAIRIE FIRE, IF YOU WILL. SHE FAMOUSLY BROUGHT SUPPORT TO TOP DNC OFFICIALS TO SEVERAL DEMOCRATIC BONERS. RON CAME OUT FOR HILLARY. THAT'S LIKE WINNING EVERY VOTER IN THE STATE OF OHIO AT LEAST FROM A FUNDRAISING PERSPECTIVE. SO CLEARLY SHE'S GOT THE MECHANICS DOWN. HOW ABOUT THE SNATCHES WHAT IS SHE GOING TO RUN ON? THINK ABOUT IT. LIBYA, SHE'S GOING TO RUN WHAT SHE DID TO THE NORTH AFRICAN NATION OF LIBYA. IT'S THE ONE ACHIEVEMENT OF HER LIFE THAT'S UNIQUELY HERS. HER HUSBAND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. AS SECRETARY OF STATE UNDER OBAMA HILLARY CLINTON ORDERED THE KILLING OF OMAR QADDAFI, THE STRONGMAN WHO WAS ALSO, LET'S BE HONEST, CREEPY, WEIRD WITH AND THEREFORE DESERVING OF DEATH. HILLARY HAD HIM OFFED, AND THEN SHE LAUGHED ABOUT IT. WATCH. >> WE CAME, WE SAW, HE DIED [INAUDIBLE] >> TUCKER: WE CAME, WE SAW, HE DIED. PRETTY FUNNY. BUT THEN WHAT HAPPENED? ONCE HILLARY KILLED THE LEADER OF THE COUNTRY, HOW DID THE COUNTRY DO? LET'S SEE. WE'LL TELL THE STORY IN PICTURES. HERE'S THE CAPITOL OF LIBYA BEFORE HILLARY CLINTON DECIDED TO INTRODUCE THE LIBYAN PEOPLE TO A LITTLE THING WE CALL HUMAN RIGHTS. HE LOOKS FINE BUT UNDERNEATH THERE WAS NO FREEDOM. THERE WERE TWO FEW SAROS BACKED NGO'S. THOSE PEOPLE IN THE FOREGROUND ARE AFRICAN SLAVES BEING SOLD AS PROPERTY IN THE NOW THRIVING SLAVE MARKETS IN DOWNTOWN TRIPOLI. NO, THEY DON'T LOOK VERY HAPPY, THAT'S TRUE. BUT AT LEAST QADDAFI IS GONE SO ON SOME LEVEL THEY ARE FREE. THEY HAVE BEEN LIBERATED BY HILLARY CLINTON DESPITE THE FACT THEY ARE ENSLAVED. THAT'S CALLED PROGRESS. IT'S WORTH SOMETHING. IN FACT, IT'S A PRETTY GOOD CAMPAIGN SLOGAN. HILLARY CAMPAIGN 2024, SHE'LL DO FOR US WHAT SHE DID FOR LIBIA. YOU CAN IMAGINE THE POSTERS, T-SHIRTS AND COFFEE MUGS. SOMEBODY WILL NEED TO GET THOSE SLAVES TO SIGN A CONSENT FORM. PUT THAT ON THE LIST. BUT HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT IS STARTING TO SIGNED A LITTLE LESS CRAZY. IN FACT, IT'S STARTING TO SOUND INEVITABLE. THERE ARE JUST TWO QUESTIONS LEFT TO ANSWER. WHY DID HILLARY LOSE LAST TIME, AND WHO WOULD SHE RUN AGAINST TWO YEARS FROM NOW? LET'S TAKE THE FIRST QUESTION FIRST. IT'S GOT THE SIMPLEST MOST OBVIOUS ANSWER. HILLARY CLINTON WAS CHEATED OUT OF HER RIGHTFUL DESTINY IN 2016 BECAUSE UNSEEN FORCES OF EVIL WORKED FURIOUSLY TO UNDERMINE HER BECAUSE THEY FEARED HER STRENGTH AND GOODNESS. COME ON. YOU KNEW THAT. HILLARY CLINTON CERTAINLY KNOWS THAT. WATCH. >> THE RUSSIANS, LET'S SAY WIKILEAKS, SAME THING, DUMPED THE JOHN PODESTA EMAILS. I HAVE MY COMPLAINTS ABOUT FORMER DIRECTOR COMEY. THE USE OF MY EMAIL ACCOUNT WAS TURNED INTO THE BIGGEST SCANDAL SINCE LORDS KNOWS WHEN. THEY COVERED IT LIKE IT WAS PEARL HARBOR. IF YOU LOOK AT FACEBOOK, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE NEWS ITEMS POSTED WERE FAKE. THERE ARE ALL THESE STORIES ABOUT GUYS OVER IN MACEDONIA WHO ARE RUNNING THESE FAKE NEWS SITES. I INHERIT NOTHING FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. I ALSO THINK I WAS THE VICTIM OF A VERY BROAD ASSUMPTION THAT I WAS GOING TO WIN. IF THE ELECTION HAD BEEN ON OCTOBER 27 I WOULD BE YOUR PRESIDENT AND IT WASN'T. IT WAS ON OCTOBER 28 AND THERE WAS JUST A LOT OF FUNNY BUSINESS GOING ON AROUND THAT. >> TUCKER: SO THE RUSSIANS, WIKILEAKS -- THAT'S WHAT SPRINTSED HER FROM BECOMING PRESIDENT LAST TIME. WHO WILL OPPOSE HER THIS TIME? FOR THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION WE TURN AS WE ALWAYS DO TO MR. TOM FRIEDMAN OF THE "NEW YORK TIMES," WHO IS A PULITZER PRIZE WINNER. TOM FREED MAN IS DUMB ENOUGH TO GET A LOT OF THINGS RIGHT. IF HE THINKS IT, A LOT OF OTHERS THINK IT, TOO, AND THOSE ARE THE ONES WHO RUN THIS COUNTRY. HE WROTE A PIECE TALKING ABOUT REPLACING JOE BIDEN WITH LIZ CHENEY IN THE NEXT ELECTION. THIS MIGHT STRIKE YOU AS RIDICULOUS. IT MIGHT SEEM LIKE ANOTHER SIGN THAT OUR POLITICAL CLASS HAS REACHED PEAK DECADENCE AND EXHAUSTION. IF THEY ARE PUSHING A CHENEY IN THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL CYCLE MAYBE THEY HAVE RUN OUT OF IDEAS. OF COURSE THEY HAVE AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT GIVES HILLARY SUCH A NATURAL OPENING. AS LONG AS WE'RE TURNING OUR POLITICS INTO A SIT CON REUNION WHY NOT GET GEORGE W. BUSH TO RUN. THAT'S NOT A CRAZY IDEA. AT THIS STAGE BUSH WOULD MUCH RATHER RUN WITH HILLARY THAN AGAINST HILLARY. THEY ARE PERSONAL FRIENDS. ON MOST THINGS THEY AGREE VEHEMENTLY BUT HAVING BUSH AND CLINTON ON THE SAME TICKET WOULDN'T WORK. IT'S JUST TOO OBVIOUS. MAYBE W COULD BE CONVINCED TO TAKE ONE FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT AND THROW ON THE REPUBLICAN JERSEY ONE LAST TIME. HE'S 75 BUT THAT'S A FULL PRESIDENTIAL TERM YOUNGER THAN JOE BIDEN, WHICH, BY CURRENT STANDARDS, QUALIFIES AS FRESH NEW LEADERSHIP. GEORGE W.2024, TIME TO GIVE THE YOUNGER GENERATION A CHANCE. IT MIGHT WORK, OR NOT. JUST SPITBALLING HERE. IT'S WAY PASTIME TO GET HILLARY BACK INTO THE WHITE HOUSE. THE LADY HAS A SPEECH TO GIVE. SHE WROTE IT FIVE YEARS AGO FOR HER INEVITABLE INAUGURATION THANKS TO THE MACEDONIANS, THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN BUT SHE NEVER THREW IT AWAY. SHE'S STILL GOT THE SPEECH. LAST MONTH SHE READ A PORTION OF IT ON NBC NEWS. WATCH. >> I DREAM OF GOING UP TO HER AND SITTING DOWN NEXT TO HER, TAKING HER IN MY ARMS, AND SAYING LOOK AT ME. LISTEN TO ME. YOU WILL SURVIVE. YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD FAMILY OF YOUR OWN. AND THREE CHILDREN, AND AS HARD AS IT MIGHT BE TO IMAGINE, YOUR DAUGHTER WILL GROW UP AND BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. >> TUCKER: WHO IS SHE CRYING FOR? HERSELF. IN CASE YOU'RE CONFUSED BY THE CONTEXT, THAT WAS HILLARY TELLING HER DECEASED MOTHER THAT EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OKAY BECAUSE HILLARY HAS BEEN ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. NO MORE TEARS, NO MORE ANXIETY, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT. WE'VE GOT A WOMAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE. A LOT HAS HAPPENED SINCE HILLARY CLINTON WROTE THOSE WORDS. IT'S A DIFFERENT COUNTRY NOW THAN IT WAS FIVE YEARS AGO BUT HILLARY CLINTON HASN'T CHANGED. HER PRIMARY INTERESTS REMAIN EXACTLY WHAT THEY ALWAYS WERE. SHE'S STILL TALKING ABOUT ENDLESS ENTHUSIAS
