tv   Tucker Carlson Tonight  FOX News  June 5, 2017 5:00pm-6:01pm PDT

5:00 pm
>> martha: warming the heart of 50,000 people and those around the world, as well. we think of for that. have a good day, everyone. we will see you back here tomorrow. tucker carlson is up next. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight" prayed for the third time in as many months, islamic terrorists have massacred british citizens. first, the truck attack outside parliament in march, that killed seven. then, two weeks ago, a suicide bomber murdered almost 2,000 manchester, many of them children, during the ariana grande concert. now come on saturday, three attackers screaming islamic slogans, mow down pedestrians with a van et ceter, then, stabbed and slashed the survivors. seven died, many more wounded. london bridge may not be falling down yet but there's more to it that isis has a plan for that, too.
5:01 pm
islamic terrorist attacks has been, and each one provokes the exactly the same response. our leaders of government and the media tell us they are angry and clearly they are, but to mar the angry, exactly? they shake their face of the terrace, the militants, extreme means, whatever the euphemism of the day happens to be. then, they pledge that whatever happens, our civilization will never be bowed or shaken, although clearly, we are both. but then, they quickly turn their attention to the group they actually hate the most, far more than any terrorist, their critics. anyone who dares question their readership or criticize their flaccid, mindless response to islamic terror, those are the real enemies. here for example is the response i donald trump god when he dared to point out that to a large extent, terror and the west was an immigration problem. >> the president doesn't want us to be politically correct, right? let's not be pc about this. president trying to provoke a domestic terrorist attack? with this twitter rent? only to prove himself right? >> there are serious concerns about this president's mental
5:02 pm
stability. >> president trump has been commenting on the london terror attack via twitter, one of the present effect on my past few hours says, "we must up being politically correct and get down to the presence of our security for our people. if we don't get smart, it will only get worse." do you feel the president is trying to perpetuate fear of terrorism by tweeting the way he has today? >> tucker: when was the last time we heard any one of the left talk that way about islamic extremism? no one on television openly defends isis, of course. isis is impossible to defend. but the real rage of these people is reserved for those who appear critical of islam. terrorism may be bad but raising doubts about multiculturalism is worse. foreigners come to our countries and kill our people, you think our leaders would blame them, but no, they blame us who live here. they blame or history, they blame our culture, our opinions, religion, it's our fault. that is that their core assumption. you see it and all they say. why else in the face of totalitarian threats were they they so eagerly abandon our freedoms beginning with speech?
5:03 pm
in the u.k., for example, they have been multiple arrests for his homophobic remarks made on line, not actions, remarks. in the u.s., still rhetorically observing the bill of rights, it falls to the private sector. facebook, twitter, cable news. the other was also the same. fanatics run the country's to force us to change the way we wanted to live. the leaders are helping them come in effect, because they agree with isis, the west is not worth defending. charles krauthammer joins us tonight. charles, why the display's rage? i'm not defending the president's tweets. i don't think he beat should be tweeting, at all. you look at television, you think is crime is greater than the crime committed on london bridge. >> look, you are always going to have lunatic voices on the left. some will get expression on cable tv. but generally speaking, -- there are a lot of stories about what we see on the left.
5:04 pm
the suppression of speech on campus, the rioting, the antifascist so-called rioting. if someone dare say something politically correct. that is all true, those are real stories, they are to be covered. but the london attack is not really a story, it's not a political correctness story. it is a story about islamic radicalism. and the tragedy here is, president is sort of right in talking about immigration. but the point he is missing is that the problem was immigration 30 years ago. we are 30 years late. to paris, we are 30 years old. this is a failure, and generally is a failure of assimilation, integration of these immigrants by mostly europeans over the last 30 years, which is why it is not amenable to solution. >> tucker: it is in this country because -- europe is at least 30 30 years
5:05 pm
ahead of us on the same immigration path. so, you could if you take it seriously, prevent, to some extent, what has happened in europe. it is also a political story when people are being arrested for criticizing my religion are voicing their political views. that has that is actually happen europe and has for a while. >> we don't have the first amendment. we don't have the same problem of assimilation. america is blessedly different in that regard, which is one reason why you have an epidemic of radical islamic terrorism in europe, and you don't have it here. the one major attack, the one catastrophic attack, was entirely from outside, they work their way through our system. here, what is the characteristic of the european attacks, so tragic and so hard to deal with, is the fact that these are british citizens raised in a country from a second-generation, here are second-generation immigrants, generally speaking, i'm not speaking about the muslims in particular, assimilating, that
5:06 pm
it's a story of the jewish people, the italians, the polish people, the third generation is so a similar ball, you can hardly tell. >> tucker: do we have that? speak of the scale is so different. this country is 1% muslim, france, we don't know exactly, 10%. it is a much different scale in europe promoted is here. >> absolutely. 10% of the population in france is estimated to be immigrants. no, it is a question of scale, but it's a question of also history. we have a history of being able to import immigrants in a way to make them into americans. but that is true. the question of scale is important. it is one of the reasons why people here are so strongly against illegal immigration. because the fear is that this is a monoclonal immigration, it is hispanic speaking muslim mexican, which is wonderful, but the problem is, if they become d certain parts of the country,
5:07 pm
then, you get a problem of assimilation, where people end up not speaking the language and not -- in brooklyn, you have 150 nationalities, but they are so relatively small that the us ans almost automatic. that has been our history for 150 years. >> tucker: assimilation doesn't happen. it doesn't happen unless the host country demands that answers says, here is our culture, our language, our values, to help them or leave. normal countries do that. we don't do that anymore. >> we do that to a certain extent. i think the bilingual education fad was a terrible mistake because it created separateness. when you add to that the monoclonal immigration, meaning, it is not from around the world, it is not from equally distributed to the way it was 100 years ago at ellis island. but it is mostly hispanic speaking and he went up in a community where you don't get to learn english. i think that is the problem. but you're right.
5:08 pm
there is a loss of spirit in the west, not so much in the u.s. as in europe, where we don't believe in ourselves. where our history is flawed, where we teach our kids all of the sins of the american republican republic and none of the glories. when you do that for a long enough time, you end up with a generation that doesn't know why they should be proud to be americans, why they should be defending america. we are not anywhere near there but that is the danger. >> tucker: it seems like we are. what are our shared values. if you believe in multiculturalism, then, by definition, you are not going to rise to the fender culture because it is equal to every other culture. >> it depends how you describe multiculturalism. we are a multicultural nation and we accord respect to different ethnicities, religions, languages. it is when you say that our own history is so corrupt, that our tradition is one that is uniquely the one that is not
5:09 pm
worth learning, that is when you run into problems. i don't think we are near there. but there is a danger and i think we need to be very careful how we handle that or we could have generations i don't know why they should be proud to be americans and why they should be americans. >> tucker: i hope we are far from that as you say. charles krauthammer, thank you. it turns out that khuram shazad butt is one of the london bridge attackers was featured in a recent british documentary called "the jihad is next door." fox news has not said that it is, but sky news has reported that it is him. in any case, the man appears in the documentary attending a rally in a park or a radical preacher predicts that the entirety of britain will be ruled by sharia law. watch this. >> because his english, for all of us praying, we have to say, this is our reality. this is the reality. don't forget what the laws, this
5:10 pm
is the reality. we were just praying. we can't pray? >> tucker: once again, looks like this man's extremism was obvious for years but the attack it caused was somehow a surprise, as it always is. president trump is using the london attacks to lobby for the return of his travel ban that would affect six countries, muslim majority countries. on saturday night, the president tweeted this, "we need to be smart, vigilant and tough. we need the courts to give us back our rights. we need the travel ban as an extra level of safety!" "people, the lawyers and the courts can call it whatever they want, but i am calling it what we need and what it is, a travel ban!" a travel ban is a toned down version of the president called for in the campaign trail in 2015. >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. until our country's can figure out what the hell is going on.
5:11 pm
>> tucker: a democratic strategist and a former consultant for the department of homeland security joins us tonight. thanks a lot for coming on. all the focus has been on the president's motives in this. what does he really mean, what is the desire personally? i guess i would say, that is unknowable, as it always is, people's motives. the question is, does the country deserve a higher level of protection in light of what we are watching happened in europe? i don't see how we don't deserve that. >> no, i agree with you that we need a higher level of production, especially nowadays. but we have to identify where the threat is. as charles was saying, many of these radicals are homegrown, meaning that they are not coming from somewhere else, they are grown within this countrieses. we have a violent extremism, make sure that the ices narrative over a class of civilization is not the one that we adopt, you are right, nobody knows president trump's motives. we are concerned that sometimes his rhetoric inflames that.
5:12 pm
that is the concern of the -- >> tucker: i guess. it is hard to generalize about the intelligence organizations, if the huge group. but this has been going on for a long time. you can hardly blame his intemperate language for all of it. in the 18 terror plots that have been foiled in the last couple of years, two-thirds were hatched apparently by people who would be affected by this temporary stop on immigration from those countries. so, why would that have been a bad thing? two-thirds. >> i don't know. the kino institute did a study in a look to people from 1975 tn refugees have come here. not a single one has committed a terrorist attack. that is just a big number. so, we have to do this, as the world is, rather than the way the president or others might want to see it. this is not a clash of civilization. we have got effectively from law
5:13 pm
enforcement and intelligence and human intelligence, go after the threat. doing to travel ban is not the most effective way. that comes from -- >> tucker: you throughout her fake sisters i don't know. something to give it to you. here are the actual numbers on this -- speak it with a notable think tank. speak >> tucker: i'm not attacking. i'm just saying, here are the actual facts, may 17th, 2016, 2 guys from somalia busted with bomb making material. november 16, another guy from somalia, ohio state attack, as you know. september 16th, another somalian, another afghan somalian, rocky, somalian, rock, sudan, that is always within a span of a year, people arrested for terror plotting. i'm not impugning everyone from somalia, i'm just saying this is real. >> the real threat is homegrown terrorism, which we have to go after. charles is right. when charles was talking about this is second, third generation in europe, that have not a
5:14 pm
simulated, one of the reasons why the assimilation hasn't occurred is because they create a hostile environment for the people coming into the country. but we don't want to do is make the united states -- >> tucker: i'm sorry. i can't let that stand. so, you are saying that people attack the west because the west somehow is a nice enough to them? welcoming them in you just said that. i am trying to keep it civil. it's grading to hear that they are facing a hostile environment that when they are brought over your public expense and subsidizing. why is that hostile? >> if you study counterterrorism on you look at europe, what has made the environment really bad as many of these folks don't feel like they have opportunities, and create the false narrative. with the beauty of america is, the first day that you enter the united states, you are and italian american, irish-american, jewish american,
5:15 pm
muslim-american, that allows everyone to have their identity. that is not what your past, you have second, third, fourth generation that still consider themselves from the land where they came from. >> tucker: the people who were murdered in manchester, the kids, they just want welcoming enough? what are you saying exactly? >> what i am saying is that we have to learn from their experience and make sure that what we do here doesn't take place. >> tucker: what we do? >> what is different is that we are a country of immigrants, bread from religious freedom. those are our cornerstone principles. in that principle has a allowed us to grow and flourish for over 200 years. >> tucker: i'm fully aware of that, but are you saying that muslims don't experience religious freedom in great britain? >> look, what i am telling you -- >> tucker: what are you saying exactly? >> what i am saying is that
5:16 pm
terrorists want to hurt and kill us and the way they do it is by dividing. they are looking to recruit people that are within these countries, online, recruiters looking for people that feel that there is a wedge in society. rather than creating more wedges and making the environment more fertile for people to recruit, we have to figure out a way to push back, hunt down, and kill them. >> tucker: part of what you are saying is right, but the subtext is the same as it always is, which is blaming the victims for this. the bright student deserve this. >> that is not true, tucker. >> tucker: yes, it is. you just suggested -- >> i am not the one that started tweeting against the mayor of london right after a terrorist attack. that is what president trump did. >> tucker: he's not here. i am asking -- >> i'm telling you how the divisive environment -- >> tucker: those are your
5:17 pm
words. >> i'm an american. i don't want the fault of our nation. i'm as equally american as any american. >> tucker: i am not contesting that. i merely objecting to your instinct to blame the victims in europe for -- >> you are blaming the victim. you said that they were creating a hostile environment, and i think it is very much the opposite. >> that is part of the challenge, because when you want people to assimilate, it's a two-way interaction by the people coming into the country have to want to assimilate in the nation, the host nation, has to assimilate them. in two, three, four generations, the assimilation is not occurring, we have to figure out what the problem is. the beauty of our nation is that people assimilate much faster because of the -- >> tucker: so, if we complain about refugees or immigrants coming in from a certain region, and we are somehow abetting terrorism. it's a fantastic rhetorical trick to get people to shut up but it doesn't work on me.
5:18 pm
>> i am not trying to shut you up, tucker, god forbid i'm going to shut you up. [laughs] >> tucker: you say that they are abutting isis -- >> that is what you are saying. these are your words. these are not my words. these are your interpretations. >> tucker: i am not that smart but i know what you are really saying. >> i'm not sure if it's clever or -- >> tucker: we will let our viewers judge. inmates are truly running the asylum at evergreen college, putting that in quotation marks come in a state of washington. professors have signed a letter endorsing the actions of students who try to drive a professor off campus and frightened him because of his race. an update from there. also, hillary clinton under investigation once again by the u.s. senate. what might they find? clinton cash author peter schweitzer joins us next. radio: scorching heat today, stay cool out there!

5:21 pm
5:22 pm
[chanting] >> why is this most violent leap to ever breed? [chanting] >> it is not an accident. [bleep]. >> i am tired of white people talking about what black and brown people need. you don't know! >> [bleep] you! will keep you! [cheers and applause] >> tucker: welcome at evergreen college in washington state is mouthing down. that is not an overstatement. two weeks ago, we interviewed a math professor called bret weinstein, he's a liberal who
5:23 pm
has been overwhelmed by the left. a mob of students demanding he be fired because he reviewed to leave campus for a day because . they demanded he leave. now, at least 60 evergreen faculty and staff have signed a letter supporting the students against the professor. they are demanding a disciplinary investigation of weinstein, who they say has "in danger to students" by inviting "white supremacist backlash post quote through his refusal to leave campus." this is all real, by the way. tomi lahren is a senior communications advisor for the great american alliance. what is going on in evergreen? >> oh, boy. i mean, the fact that this is happening in the united states of america, first of all, is disturbing. isn't it odd, tucker, that they used to be generations of americans that fought against segregation and now it seems that her generations as fighting for segregation? it's lunacy. >> tucker: this poor professor weinstein, we talked to him and said, you probably are liberal,
5:24 pm
he said, i am a lefty. he's a bernie sanders guy. he remembers liberals as they were a generation ago, against segregation, and hurting people on the basis of their skin color. he woke up one day and everyone around him disagreed. i mean, that's a 180 degrees change it looks like. >> i can't believe it. to throw out these words like "racist," especially to professor who said, i think we should all come together on campus, no one should say home, we shouldn't have a day of exclusion, the fact that he came out and said that was brave. then, to be called a racist because of it? it just shows how ridiculously's labels are and how damaging they can be. but the most disgusting and disturbing part of this whole thing is that there are other professors who are sticking up for the mob like protesters. now, that is what has got me. >> tucker: you got to kind of wonder their motives, which are unknowable, but i wonder how many of them are just afraid to disagree with the mob. they no longer run evergreen, obviously. the president is a spineless character. he bowed out a long time ago.
5:25 pm
basically, it is being run by an angry mob implying violence. maybe they just don't want to get hurt for you to that is probably part of it. but here's the deal. we know this. the altar left is organized and they are well-funded. they are on college campuses and that is going to be a battleground for us, but not just now, but for election cycles to come. that is more important for great american alliance to save it, we are going to do this professionally and with class, we are not going to have mobs, you're going to get our message out there and do it using free speech. we are not going to do it like the students at evergreen college because that is disruptive, disgusting comments violent, and it's un-american. >> tucker: wears a civil rights division at the justice department? if you had any other college were a mob of students who are implying physical violence, threatening someone, because of his skin color, and you had faculty doing the same, i mean, shouldn't there be a civil rights investigation? where is the state senate and the state of washington? where is the governor? where is the mayor of olympia? where the authorities here exactly?
5:26 pm
>> everybody is afraid to speak up because if they speak out against this, they are labeled a racist. everyone is so afraid of being labeled a racist. they have the power then. ed is the alt-left, mobs like this that have the power, then and hold the power. i also hold the mainstream media accountable for that come as well. the mainstream media needs to going out and saying, this is crap. until they do that, groups like this field just justified and validated. when people become fearless to stand up, that is when the stubble and bring >> tucker: i agree with without completely. i wonder how long it will be a until the mob comes for them, since the revolution always eats itself? [laughs] i mean, seriously. you really think you get a pass by nodding in agreement with the mob? you never do. >> of course not. these individuals, they claim to be sticking up for civil rights, they claim to be social dressed as warriors, and they act like this? i mean, that video that has been posted on youtube is appalling. can you imagine being a parent right now, ready to send your child to college? can you imagine being a parent of a concert of a student ready
5:27 pm
to cement the college? can you imagine what that must be a light? >> tucker: can you imagine being an alum getting a phone call from a fundraiser saying, it why don't you give some money to a college, any college? [laughs] no way! tomi lahren, thanks a lot for coming out tonight. >> of course, thanks for having me. >> tucker: the contents are under investigation again, continuing a trend that goes all the way back to the early '90s, almost without interruption. while this investigation be the one that finally uncovers something serious? the author of "clinton cash" will weigh in on that next. peter schweizer joins us. stops your whole day stops. awww. try this. for minor arthritis pain, only aleve can stop pain for up to 12 straight hours with just one pill. thank you. ♪ come on everybody. you can't quit, neither should your pain reliever. stay all day strong with 12 hour aleve.

5:31 pm
>> tucker: time for tonight's reality check. we want to show you a video but before we play it, a warning. this tape is more than 20 years old. he comes from a different time when our leaders were less enlightened and morality was not as advanced as it is today. obviously. broadcasting it purely for its historical value. that said, you might want to remove children and the elderly from the room as it plays. it could be triggering to the sensitive. here it is. >> that is why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more. hiring a record number of new border guards. by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by borrowing welfare benefits to illegal aliens, thet otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. the public service they use imposed burdens on our taxpayers. it is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of
5:32 pm
immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must do more to stop it. [applause] >> tucker: wow made it to think he said that a national television during the state of the union, no less. does hilary know about this? president clinton used as a highly offensive term "illegal alien," criminal aliens were referred to as "criminal aliens," and he want that illegal aliens take jobs of citizens and take tolls on public services. he bragged about increasing deportations. in other words, the bill clinton of 1995 told the truth about immigration plainly and without apology. it was a very different time in a very different democratic party, one that cared about the country of govern. the party would never tolerate such hate thing today, nor would the media. it is to clear and easy to understand and therefore, people might be persuaded by it. speaking of the clintons, they are under an investigation yet again. set your clock by it. the senate judiciary committee
5:33 pm
is creating a probe. clinton pressured government officials in bangladesh to drop a corruption investigation of mohammad yunus, a businessman and clinton foundation donor. peter schweizer is the author of "clinton cash" ." he joins us tonight. so, peter, what is the substance of this investigation? what are they looking for a? >> basically, the substance of this investigation is that senior state department officials in seeing this investigation taking place, this longtime, told the prime minister of bangladesh, to get their mother, the prime minister, to call off the dogs on the investigation, if they didn't do that, according to the prime minister's son, they were going to have the irs audit him. the son of the bangladeshi prime minister lives in the united states. he has been here for 17 years. so, it was a very serious threat. based on what that individual has said, it is a pretty
5:34 pm
detailed claim. i think that is why senator grassley is saying this needs to be investigated. >> tucker: so, is it typical for a secretary of state to insert herself into the internal politics of bangladesh? >> no. i mean, look great i think we could all say this is a family friend. it would have been fine to say, hey, how was this investigation going? ready think it is going to lead? to essentially be charged with seeking the irs on foreign government officials and their e purposes, is way beyond the pale. unfortunately, tucker, it fits the pattern of the kind of behavior that the clintons engage in, which is using government power as a tool and a cultural against the opponents, are people that are looking for wrongdoing, that is taking place even buy them or their powerful friends. >> tucker: right. is anyone who works in nonliberal foundation d.c. -- what about the broader investigation into the clinton foundation's activities?
5:35 pm
are the ongoing? what is the status? >> i know that the fbi continues to look into the fbi on a number of levels, some of them come with pay to play charges. others related to the sort of keeping of the books or the cooking of the books. those are ongoing. look, a lot of people will say, tucker, you know, she lost, what is the big deal? i think the issue is, win or lose, if this kind of behavior is allowed to go on, and it's not even investigated by federal authorities, it just encourages the kind of behavior by the political class, while whether they republicans or democrats. i said from the beginning, there needs to be either an independent counsel or a grand jury to look into these charges, so they get aired and look at once and for all, and we can for this to rest or we can have a trial where charges are actually brought for brought. >> tucker: sure. dropping them undermines people's beliefs that people are treated equally under the law. kind of weird, though. if you like and have an awful lot about a number of
5:36 pm
investigations in progress because the leaks show up in the newspaper every day. i haven't seen any leaks out of this investigation. >> no, that's right. really, since the campaign with "the wall street journal" ran a front-page piece on this investigation, it has been very quiet. i know from personal knowledge that the investigation is going on. where it has stood for a while, tucker, is that fbi field offices went to the department of justice looking for subpoena power and other tools. they were turned down by the obama justice department. it will be interesting to see under the new attorney general, jeff sessions, whether that changes. i think it showed. i think it is a question of giving them the right tools. let's just see where the facts lead. i think that is ultimately where we also come down on this. >> tucker: of course. by the way, for the record, i'm glad there are no leaks. they should never be leaks from ongoing investigations. he find it curious that the clintons are never announced an addition to all their other titles as subjects of a current fbi investigation, i feel like that should be added to the list of titles. >> [laughs] it probably be pretty
5:37 pm
repetitive, tucker. that is something that can be said for quite a while, going back to the '90s. even in the 2,000s, there were certain claims about conduct that was taking place, the marc rich pardon, now, the clinton foundation, it is an ongoing look. i think it just requires the kind of investigation from at least some people in washington don't seem to want to take place. for the life of me, that is ridiculous. >> tucker: a soled of the presidential party, i was here for that. that was great. thanks for joining us. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: there has been total chaos in portland, oregon, gotten violent in efforts to shut down a free speech rally. we'll talk to an organizer that rally coming out. plus, a feminist i and con, but apparently her new movie is an feminist enough for some feminists. could batt be the weirdest story of the day? there's a lot to choose from. we have them in "top that."
5:38 pm

a couple hundred people showed up but they were surrounded by a much larger mass of protesters, some armed with bricks, knives, brass knuckles, can you make it clear that the free speech were not welcome and not open-minded city. this man was at the rally and he joined us for a recap. what happened? speak at the start that as a rally of about 500 hard-core trp supporters who really wanted to prove that they could go into liberal portland and stand up for their beliefs. if there was a lot of talk about free speech and not backing down to the left. frankly, many of the trump supporters seemed ready to have physically fight the opposition. some brought shields and sticks. they had their own security people looking to bounce anyone from the opposing side. but this rally was mainly peaceful. there were also completely surrounded by several thousand people protesting the rally and the rights of free speech. on one side, was a group of union members. on the opposite side, was a large group of peace activists and mainstream liberals. they shouted down the trump
5:43 pm
supporters as being racist and anti-immigrant. they came in the name of peace but i saw a lot of obscene gestures, and heard a ton of words that we would have to believe. they were fired up but also not violent. then, they were the anarchists, easy to spot because many of them covered their faces with bandannas or ski masks. they wore helmets and came armed with whatever they could to scan mike's ground up. they seemed to want a fight with the trump supporters and the police who stood in the strong line in full riot gear between them and the trump rally. some of them belong to the portland chapter of nt file, short for antifascists, but really, these arts many of the same people who caused property damage and spar with p. some of the group started throwing bricks and bottles and that is when police finally went on the offensive. they deployed several flash bang grenades and pepper balls. they pushed the anarchists back and eventually corralled them into an area. police confiscated dozens of weapons that you saw there, bricks, knives, that sort of thing.
5:44 pm
amazingly, no assault, no injuries, very little if any property damage related arrest 14 people. when it was over, police said it went as well as the possibly could have. tucker. >> tucker: thanks, dan. it will be interesting to know how many of the anarchists went to expensive private schools. and begging 100% but we don't know. thanks for that report. joey gibson was there on sunday. he was at the free-speech rally and organized it. he joins us now. joey, what happened? >> we had a great day. we talked about freedom. a lot of positive energy, good speakers. no hate speech on our side. tons of hate speech on their side. very successful rally. >> tucker: was there violence? >> there was no violence. i know that -- i know one kid that got beat up by the anarchists, but for the most cart done my part up with a peaceful day. i do think they are trying to provoke us. a lot of people were yelling in our faces and i think they were trying to get us to punch. but we don't do that.
5:45 pm
we only act out of self-defense. >> tucker: i think you are best for sticking with that policy. what was the point of your protest? >> it wasn't a protest. it was more of a rally to promote freedom in one of the most liberal cities in the united states of america. we also got to start talking about god more, especially liberal cities. and we really want to inspire the youth and inspire the conservative and the libertarians to organize and to act in these liberal cities. >> tucker: are you from parkland? >> i am from vancouver, washington, which is right across the bridge. >> tucker: right over the river. do you think you changed any minds? >> you know, it is hard to tell. we had several people come up to us and thank us for our positive message. because if you listen to the media, we are like some white supremacist group. we are a hate group. unfortunately, they are using deception to try to keep people away from us. i do know that we changed some hearts and minds of some people who listened to our words.
5:46 pm
it was a positive experience. hopefully, we can continue to do this and get more people on board and understand that this isn't about racism or social justice, this is about limited government, making our government to small. >> tucker: you look out numbered. we are putting it up on the screen, i don't know if you can see it, i think that you shot, it is you all surrounded by an awful lot of other people, what was the ratio, would you say? how many more of them were there than you? >> there was a lot. we are talking portland, oregon. at least 2-1, may be 3-1 more than osprey. we still had huge numbers. this was a larger conservative rally in the history of portlan portland. but portland police and homeland security did their job to make sure that we were allowed to organize and portland. >> tucker: the largest conservative rally in the history of portland. that really is the tallest building in uzbekistan.
