'Tucker Carlson Tonight' examines they key moments from Thursday's second and final presidential debate
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Well, monitor his remarks.
Well bring it to you if it
happens
good evening,
welcome to Tucker Carlson
tonight.
Did you see the debate last
night
probably did
too bad its the last one.
We learned a lot in one one, slash two hours.
We always do.
We learned that self Control
pays off
Donald Trump pulled back on
stage and hes never been better
than he was last night.
You can understand what he was
saying
that helped.
At the same time, we learned
that if you want to wreck Joe
Biden, let him talk without a
scripts. Two minutes
thats, like the iron man,
wears him out.
We learned something. We already
knew
Donald Trump drive as certain
person completely insane.
Nothing Trump says that doesnt
frighten people like this. You
can recite the words from the
happy birthday song and they
would hear machine gun fire.
These are highly neurotic
individuals.
You get the sense that many have
severe allergies and digestive
problems
speculating about that.
It happened again when the
president tried to explain what
the human smuggling of children
in the United States is a bad
thing,
heres what he said.
Children are brought here by
coyotes and lots of bad people,
cartels and theyre brought here
and used to use them to get into
our country,
so human smugglers
coyotes, as theyre called along
the border, bring children into
this country illegally,
sometimes without their parents.
That is true.
That is what the president said.
What a lot of prominent trump
haters heard is that huge feral
K 9s were dragging children
across the desert.
Another trump lie
his 916th today,
Darshin Kendrick is one of her
Partys leaders in Georgia of
the Democratic Party
she wasnt buying it for a
second.
How in the hell, does a coyote
bring a human across the border
and Kendrick is an attorney and
investment adviser.
You want to hand your retirement
portfolio to her
coyotes, dragging children,
theyre too small.
Nothing gets past her.
A well known student at Harvard
near Boston, had a similar
objection to what the president
said.
He found trumps mention of
coyotes
coyotes, xenophobic,
its always mexican coyotes or
Mexican China pandas.
So the Harvard kid was upset
because at Harvard they know
racism when they see it
thats. Another thing that we
learned last night,
supposedly most impressive
people in our society, are not
impressive at all:
theyre dim, theyre, silly and
theyre humorless
on some level. They know that
about themselves,
thats, why theyre so self
righteous?
If you ever wondered why the
most privilege people are so
mad thats your answer,
theyre fraud, and they know we
know it
back to the debate last night.
At one point, Joe Biden told us
that hundreds of these children
brought here by coyotes,
possibly dragged, have been
separated permanently from their
parents by the Trump
administration which hates
families,
five hundred and forty five children to be exact.
Now, if you believe that was
true, youd be upset about it, so
be happy to know its not true
its not even close to true
the vast majority of the parents
of these children have been
located by federal authorities,
theyre refusing to reunite with
their children
a DHS spokesperson says in one
lawsuit, the plaintiffs have
been able to contact the parents
of four hundred and eighty five children separated at the
border, and yet they have yet
to identify a single family that
wants their child reunited with
them in their country of
origin.
Oh,
so its more complicated than
Joe Biden told us.
In many cases, the pararents in
question are not in the United
States,
theyre still back home at their
country of origin,
usually in Central America.
Some cases never even tried to
come to the United States.
Instead, they set their children
up with someone else, a coyote,
possibly to bring them. Here.
You can say what you want about
the choice. To do that,
the evidence is clear.
All the people howling about
children and cages and family
separations have no idea what
theyre talking about or dont
care.
Of course, they have no answers
to the problems that they claim
are plaguing their
consciousness,
their solutions, let anyone with
a child gain immediate access to
this country.
Needless to say, it would
encourage more human smuggling,
which is understand, since
everyone pretends to be against
human smuggling. But apparently
not everybody is
everybody used to be against
crime too?
In the 1980s and 90s crime was
one of the biggest issues in
this country.
Defined peoples lives where
they lived where they worked.
It changed election results
every year.
Was America more racist back,
then
not really
just a lot of crime in the 80s
and 90s?
Look it up a huge amount of
crime and a lot of it was driven
by drugs, particularly crack
cocaine,
thats real.
It actually happened,
ask anyone that was alive. Then
Joe Biden was alive then
he was a middle aged man. Then,
and his constituents asked him
to help fix the crime problem.
So, like everybody else in
Washington, at the time Joe
Biden voted to stiffen drug
penalties.
That was an enormously popular
thing to do in the middle of a
drug, endenim mechanic and murder
epidemic
and now Joe Biden doesnt.
Remember what happened but
doesnt matter
now. Hes pretending it was all a
big racist mistake.
Watch
in the 80s we passed one hundred percent,
all one hundred senators voted for a a
bill on drugs and how to deal
with drugs.
It was a mistake:
ive been trying to change it,
particularly the portion on
cocaine
thats. Why im arguing we
shouldnt send anyone to jail
for a pure drug offense.
They should be going into
treatment across the board
thats. What we should spend
money on
thats, why I set up drug courts
that were never funded by our
republican friends.
The bill that Joe
Biden referred to passed in nineteen eighty six
and passed the United States
Senate with ninety seven votes.
He was close.
That was co sponsored by the
chairman of the black caucus.
The house approved it by a
376 vote margin,
and then the Senate passed Joe
Bidens, one thousand nine hundred and ninety four crime bill, which he
also called a mistake with a
bipartisan majority.
That was in 94 4 vote.
The house approved that by a
40 vote margin
the majority of the
congressional Black caucus
supported. It
lets restate that
the majority of the
congressional Black caucus
supported it.
The Republicans are saying it
was supported by the clan
mindlessly
Joe Biden knows they werent
mistakes,
we dont put people in jail for
being black.
We didnt do that in the 80s and
90s
sorry,
people go to jail for committing
crimes.
Not all of our anti crime. Laws
are smart,
some are dumb,
but the bill wasnt written to
punish and ethnic group.
It was written to control what
was a very real problem,
including in black neighborhoods,
especially
that was drug. Fueled crime
people were dying in big numbers
in nineteen. Ninety four
Joe Biden no longer acknowledges
that or doesnt. Remember
now, hes telling us that any law
that puts any drug offender in
prison is a mistake,
were not going to have laws
like that
really
would that include the opioid
dealers who have killed hundreds
of thousands of Americans in
recent years.
Apparently
they wont go to jail.
So what will happen when we stop
trying to punish opioid lealers
and send them to useless rehab
program?
What is the the success rate in
rehab programs?
You know:
do these people know anything,
it would be nice to know before
that happens, what the
consequences might be.
Of course nobody asked last
night
now on to the next thing:
global warming,
Joe Biden, you wont be
surprised to learn, is against
global warming.
He wear as sweater all the time
hes, not against fracking.
He told us that last night,
if elected, he wont ban
fracking
thats always been his position,
always
what about fracking?
Let me
let me allow the vice
president.
I have never said opposed
fracking.
You said it on tape.
Show the tape
put it on your website,
ill put it on.
The fact of the matter is
hes lying.
Would there be anyplace for
fossil fuels, including coal and
fracking, in a Biden
administration?
No,
we would work it out.
We would make sure its
eliminated.
Oh, so, its a little
bit more complicated.
In fact Biden would ban
fracking. We guess
he would ban all fossil fuels at
some point,
not until hes elected
calm down.
He also passed the Heros act.
What is that
that exists to help people with
the coronavirus
Republicans needless to say, are
against that because they
support the coronavirus.
Republicans invented the
coronavirus in a lab at the
villages outside Orlando
watch. Joe Biden tell you why we
need the Heros act right now,
youre, the leader of the
Democratic Party.
Why have not pushed the
Democrats to get a deal for the
american people?
I have?
They have pushed it.
They passed this act in the
beginning of the summer. This is
like its not new
its been out there.
This heros act has been sitting
there.
Oh okay,
the Heros ACT has been sitting
there.
Youre going be about your life.
Thinking, things are fine.
Little did you know the Heros
ACT has been sitting there.
So what is the heros act? And
what does it do?
We never got into that last
night.
Well, tell you,
among other things, the heros
acted would allow illegal
immigrants to retroactively,
receive coronavirus, stimulus
checks.
People here illegally would get
tax dollars retroactively.
The bill contains a prison break
provision allowing inmates with
asthma or diabetes to get out of
jail.
It bans voter, I dot d laws.
Of course it does
what Heros act? Wouldnt ban
voter, I dot d laws.
The bill also allows marijuana
businesses and their service
providers access to banking and
insurance services.
Theyre heros too.
The bill would bail out left
wing jurisdictions that had
financial problems long before
the coronavirus long before the
Republicans invented it in the
villages,
the bill would allow paid
political operatives to gather
ballots in bundles and return
them to polling stations,
not just in California, but
nationally,
theyre heros. Ladies and
gentlemen,
theyre heros,
remember them in your prayers.
The ballot harvesters
so consider those provisions
who do they help
Americans that lost their jobs
because of the lock downs,
small business owners trying to
save their livelihoods.
The one Joe Biden said put up
plexiglass
yeah that works.
It doesnt work by the way
science has shown
by the way those people are not
the intended beneficiaries.
No. Instead, the bill helps the
Democratic Party which looks
across our land and sees the
destruction wrought by these
lockdowns, the suicide,
depressions and overdoses as a
political win for them.
Yesterday, Joe Biden prepared
Americans for a dark winter,
he said be afraid Joe Biden
Seas,
be afraid, is the message of the
Democratic Party for the entire
year
last night, Joe Biden made it
totally explicit,
I said, were learning to live
with it.
We have no choice.
We cant lock ourselves up in a
basement like Joe does
he has the ability to lock
himself up.
I dont know
hes obviously made a lot of
money someplace.
He has this thing about living
in a basement.
People cant do that
people are losing their jobs,
theyre, committing suicide,
theres depression, alcohol,
drugs at a level that nobody has
ever seen before.
Theres abuse tremendous abuse.
We have to open our country,
you know ive said it often
the cure cannot be worse than
the problem itself,
thats. What is happening
were about to go to a dark
winter.
He has no clear plan and no
prospect that theres a vaccine
available for the majority of
the american people before next
year.
If you have a reproduction rate
in a community above a certain
level, everybody says: slow up,
more social, distancing,
dont, open bars and gyms until
you get this under control,
so its all about the
reproduction rate,
its about the spread of the
virus,
but not every population is
affected the same.
If you spread the virus in a
nursing home where people are
vulnerable its a problem,
if you spread it among healthy
18 year olds, its not a
problem,
the flu is a bigger problem.
The annual flu is a problem.
The virus has a ninety nine point: nine percent survival
rate nor the vast majority of
Americans,
the lockdowns hurt everyone.
The economic and psychological
costs of them are in many cases,
irreversible.
Thousands of businesses will
never come back.
The families that own them are
destroyed, even as Google and
Amazon get stronger.
What about our children?
Students that have already spent
a year away from school are now
prepareing to stay away
indefinitely and learning
nothing
if youre a parent. You know
that
studies have shown the same
thing
in Fairfax, Virginia and other
places. The teachers unions
want schools closed until August
of twenty twenty one
classes should be virtual until
a proven vaccine is widely
available.
Its insanity
school children face almost no
risk of death from this
its not an exaggeration,
Joe Biden, endorsed that plan
last night
do not open until you get this
under control.
What does that mean?
According to Joe Biden thats,
what the public health expects
are saying?
These are the same public health
experts that say you cant go
outside unless its to attend a
Blm rally or loot a wendys.
You have to listen to them.
These are the same people that
told you. The riots were not part
of public health. They were
necessary.
These are supposed to be
nonpartisan institutions, public
health infrastructures supposed
to be Nonpart son,
its corrupted
its making decent people.
Cynical.
The people in charge have
revealed themselves to be
completely unhinged and demand
that we pay attention to them.
That was the theme of the night.
It was never more obvious that
Donald Trump brought up hub and
his commuter
its true about Russia,
Ukraine, China, other countries, iraq-
if this is true hes, a corrupt
politician
dont, give me this stuff about
an innocent baby
president Trump,
its the laptop from hill
theres, fifty former national
intelligence. Folks. That say what
hes accusing me of is a russian
plan
that have said this is: has
all the four five former
heads of the CIA? Both parties
say what hes saying is a bunch
of garbage.
Nobody believes it except his
and his good friend, Rudy
Guliani,
you mean the laptop is now
another Russia, Russia, Russia,
hoax
thats. Exactly
this is where hes going
the laptop is Russia, Russia,
Russia.
I want to stay on the issue
of race.
You have to be kidding
here. We go again with Russia,
so a bunch of retired spies,
not one of whom has seen the
laptop or been able to assess
its contents have suggested in
public recklessly and for
partisan reasons that this is
part of a russian disinformation
campaign.
Now Joe Biden himself uses that
claim made on his behalf on the
basis of no evidence to back
down the question,
if youre a little paranoid
about- maybe this CIA interfering
in domestic politics, you just
got more paranoid and for good
reason,
because they are
meanwhile no one in the Biden
campaign has denied the
authenticity of a single
document because they know its
real
theres overwhelming evidence
that its real
Hunter Biden asked for it back
and signed it over for the
computer repair shop owner
theres many witnesses
confirming its authentic.
He turned his phones over to
federal investigators.
Is he part of the russian plot
too?
This is insane
forget that
Russia did it
Russia,
the nation. You are required to
hate for reasons we cant
explain, but that are critical to
our national security.
Russia,
theyre bad.
Why do they think theyre bad
by the way
were thinking about it,
dont think about it?
Listen to CIA America.
