that. we celebrate these heroes tonight. most-watched, most trusted, and most grateful you spent the evening with us. good evening from washington. i'm shannon bream. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: well, good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." you may have heard that abc canceled its most popular scripted show yesterday after the lead actor sent out a series of bizarre tweets which she later blamed on sleeping pills. you've read about it, but there is at least one upside to the "roseanne" story. the left is on the record opposing racism. attacking people on the basis of their race is immoral, they are telling us, and of course they are absolutely right about that. let's hope this conversation continues and progresses. liberals may finally concede that discrimination based on skin color really is wrong, whether it's in hiring or promotions or government contracting or school admission. if they admit that, that would be real progress. it's not happening yetet

though. for now, american liberals are still living in that strange irony-free world where it's possible to denounce racism even as you commit it. that's the same world al gore occupies when he flies private jets to global warming conferences. it's the place where attorneys general can yell at you about domesticen violence even as they beat up their girlfriend. it's hypocrisy land. it's where liberals live. last night, for example,he msnbc held a town hall meeting dedicated to fighting racism. guess who they invited to lecture america on the topic? you guessed it, racists. the special was literally co-hosted by al sharpton, remember him? he is the guy who ridiculed jews in new york as, "diamond dealers." he is the one who denounced a jewish store owner as a white interloper. that instigated a racial massacre in which eight people were murdered.d. a also on stage last night was a guy called tim wise. l wise describes himself as professional antiracism activist, which ought to be a tipoff that he himself is

a racist, which obviously he is. here is wise using msnbc's's platform to make ugly generalizations based on skin color. watch this. >> white america has been raised to believe, a, thes police is always the good guys and frankly that black lives matter less than white comfort. what you are saying is my discomfort with you right now is worth more than the potential that your life could be snuffed in 10 minutes. >> tucker: isn't that slander against an entire racial category? oh, yes, it is. but let's say you want even more nasty racial stereotyping. msnbc is the channel for you. they've got it. here is tim wise again. keep in mind, this is what liberals are now claiming is the opposite of racism. >> the gentrifiers of today, their parents or grandparents ran away from the city to get away from black and brown folk. and now their children and their grandchildren are saying, oh, the suburbs,en

there is only so many olive gardens i can go to. i need to go back to the city and get my life in the city. when i do that i need to have my hot yoga studio and my pottery studio and my stuff represented. if you intrude on that, i will then call the police. >> tucker: are you taking notes on this? are you getting this? they are telling you on msnbc that because certain people have the same skin color, they all have the same dumb attitudes. they like the same crappy restaurant. they spend their free time pursuing the same frivolous hobbies. they are, by the way, every one of them, immoral. you can tell by the way they look. that's the official position of the left, the samecu people currently accusing you of racism.oi huh? christopher harris executive director of unhyphenated america and he joins us tonight. mr. harris, what do you make of that, watching that? >> tucker, there is a lot of things going on in the world right now that came to my mind, for example, what's happening in venezuela. g when tim was talking about people trying to gentrify areas. well, if you look in

venezuela right now, there are people fleeing a terrible geopolitical socioeconomic issue. and they are going to trinidad. >> tucker: right. >> so they have influx in trinidad of venezuelans. and trinidad is trying to implement rules to kind of push some of them out. now, most people don't know there is a lot of black people in venezuela. they don't all look like hugo chavez. in fact, south america has one of the largest percentages, over 50% of the slaves taken from africa were brought to south america, to places like brazil and venezuela and places like that. here it is, you have people who are black who don't want other people who are black flooding into their country. >> tucker: maybe it's more an economic issue and i think, by the way, there i are fair questions to raise about radical demographic change for sure. it upsets people. and i understand that. but to pretend that it's all about race and that one race is worse than another race, isn't that the definition of racism? >> absolutely. tim wise is going to be able to pay his rent this month because he is a racial pimp.

that's what he is.im that's what he does. he travels around the country going to colleges, telling young white men and young white woman that you are a racist and that you are a benefit of white privilege and they go on and they tell their parents how terrible they are because ats guy named tim wise came to a my college and told me i have white privilege. and essentially, what tim is doing, he is assuming a privilege that, quite frankly, i don't acknowledge that he has. i have zero sense of inferiority. that's one of those things that someone like tim wants me to believe. in fact -- >> tucker: you think he wants you to have a sense of inferiority? >> absolutely. president bush talked about it, he said it's the soft bigotry of low expectation. >> tucker: yeah. >> that's what's happening around the world and what's happening in america. they are constantly trying to tell young black men and young black women, you have no chance in america because of your pigmentation. no one wants to talk about the fact that different demographics -- all black people are not african-americans.

my wife is actually -- her parents are from panama. her parents came here legally with nothing. they were able to climb the socioeconomic ladder. both of them obtained their degrees. both their daughters obtained their degrees. yet, there are people who are, i guess some would call me an african-american. i don't answer to that term. b i'm an american black person. obviously you can tell by my pigmentation i'm black. but there is lots of people even in my extended family who have not attained what some of my in-laws have obtained regardless of the color of their skin. but tim wise would you have to believe that simply because of the color of your skin, you can't be successful in america. and do you know what? president trump, godod bless him, what he is doing with the economy right now, it's helping black people. >> tucker: where do you think a country winds up where the official position is that the races are different, some are more moral than others. and basically, they should hate each other? that is the message that a lot of our elites are foisting on the rest of us. they make their money by

tearing people apart. >> it tears us apart. they make their money, like mr. wise, by tearing people apart. when people ask me, what is on hyphenated america? we are what it sounds like. we are an organization that believes in america being best when it's on hyphenated. when you promote principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, then you are an american. and there is no need for any prefix or suffix. you are just an american. that's what needs to be and taught on our college campuses instead of having the tim wises and al sharptons. >> tucker: liberals, when i was a cat, i'm 49, not that old, liberals used to say what you are saying. notnk anymore. thank you, that was really nice to hear from you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: i appreciate it the media were in, of course,co consensus, agreement, on who is responsible for roseanne barr's career-ending tweets. watch. >> we have a president who was elected after trafficking in barely, barelyaf cloaked racial animus.

we're seeing a lot of otherak people in many ways mimicking this kind of language. >> this kind of stuff is a direct by product of how donald trump behaves and things he has said. >> to that point -- >> things he does not condemn. t >> we have to stop pretending that this president has nothing to do with it.hiid that he is not emboldening racists and racism and giving them a platform and making it okay. >> tucker: richard goodstein is a lawyer who advised both of hillary clinton's campaigns joins us tonight. richard, i don't begrudge any political party or its surrogates in the mediay an opportunity to grab an advantage when you see one. on the subject of tweets, which no normal person would defend, they're awful. why the impulse to immediately make it a partisan political issue when there is a human message in this conversation, which is don't attackk people on the basis of their race. like, it's that simple. why the impulse to make it partisan? rha >> certainly what roseanne barr did was pathetic, not just to say it but to blame it on ambien.

she also said it was memorial day. it was -- and this is somebody who had said the exact same thing about susan rice. who had basically defended the whole -- b >> tucker: whatever. you don't need to convince me the tweet was bad. i'm there already. >> actually there are people i suspect who actually are kind of joining to her defense. right? oh, this is somehow her first amendment rights are being infringed. nonsense.fi >> tucker: what i'm saying, look, for most of my adult life, the senior democrat in o the united states senate was a former klan recruiter.me okay? robert byrd. a lot of things named after robert byrd. i'm not even attacking robert byrd. he apologized. but let's get a little proportion here. the outrage is selective. i'm not defending the roseanne crap, but i also think when people are jumping up and down, "actually trump did this," it's purely political. let's be honest. >> actually, i think that people who don't subscribe to your view believe the following. donald trump has given license to people by saying they are good nazis, by

mocking handicap people. by basically, you know -- >> tucker: mocking handicap people. >> remember he went like this about "new york times" reporter.. >> tucker: was he mocking all handicapped people? >> it was that guy. it was pathetic. the list goes on and on. the fact of the matter is though, when donald trump does that and people say well, he won, so his staff can go, well, i can mimic people, and make fun of john mccain, who is dying. that's the problem. then, people who are supporters think, at his rallies, people who cover his rallies say these people were lovely, and then the rally would start and they would say the most anti-semitic, anti-female -- >> tucker: i have been on television for 20 years the nastiness of hate mail i receive remains constant. i didn't blame obama for the hate mail and death threatst i got. i didn't blame obama. i understand you don't like trump. this is a larger question. part of the question is, do people who are engaging in racism, like al sharpton,

have the right to lecture the rest of us about racism? do they? is al sharpton the spokesman you want against racism, really? >> no, he is not. i agree with you. but i do think it is undeniable that the fact that donald trump spews what he did on the campaign trail d and as president, to talk about good nazis is something that sends aha signal, like, i basically am drawing sucker from these people. and it's why he tweets about every stupid thing under the sun. nfl players kneeling. can't bring himself to be critical of roseanne barr. >> tucker: draw me inra defending every dumb trump tweet, which i'm not. i want to talk about the universal principleses here. we are against racism, i hope. i certainly am. we do a lot of shows on it. >> of course. >> tucker: is it wrong to discriminate against people on skin color? >> that's different. you're talking about affirmative action. this people are now, i'm racism. is it wrong to discriminate against people based on skin color?ns if it's not, then why do we s care about roseanne said.

if there is, i understand why you're upset. you shouldn't attack people on the basis of immutable characteristics, do you agree with that? >> i think roseanne barr and people like her to ho talk about black people as apes is wrong. >> tucker: i agree. it's disgusting. but what's the principal? is it wrong to discriminate against someone on the basisis of a skin color, to hold them back on the basis of their skin? it's a really simple answer. can you answer it. >> of course, but, you are acting like somehow slavery didn't happen. i'm not saying that. >> that thear intimation of what you are getting at. >> tucker: please. i'm not getting at that. i'm a very straightforward person. i say what i mean. please don't attack me. i'm asking about a principle, is,is is it wrong to hurt peopl, to hold them back, deny them the things they would otherwise get, because of their race? it's a really simple question. yes orpl no? >> i agree that people should not be discriminated against. >> tucker: no. please answer the question. >> they should not be discriminated against their d race. but we don't have a colorblind society. eric holder and other black cabinet officials have

trouble hailing a taxicab. >> tucker: by the way, i'm not denying that. i'm merely saying, is it wrong to practice racism against people? >> of course. >> tucker:r: oh, it is? >> yes. >> tucker: you would say it's totally wrong to say to a child because of your y skin color, we're holding you back? w there is a massive lawsuit against harvard right now by asian students who have basically proven that harvard didn't let them in because of their race. >> right. >> tucker: is that okay with you. >> jews used to be subjected to the exact same thing. >> tucker: and it was wrong. but liberals supported now. those people lecture t me about racism. are you joking? >> the harvard argument is that there is a certain virtue and diversity. >> tucker: i virtue in discrimination? >> tucker: it's happening right now with the full support of the liberals, the same ones who are lecturing us about racism. it's too much. >> i'm saying there is a quilt involved and, yes, discriminating against people on the basis of their skin color is wrong.

but people were held back for hundreds of years. >> tucker: i agree. >> to basically act like that didn't happen is wrong, too. >> tucker: i'm not acting like it didn't happen. i think it's the central sin of america. i have think it's ouruc original sin.en i think it'sal terrible. but i don't think that racism is okay. and liberals do. t and i just want to be clear and i want our viewers to understand that is the official position of the democratic party is thatf hurting people on the basis of their race is a-okay. >> no. i the position of the democratic party is thatat we have to take cognizance of the fact that what happened for 200 years and if we act like it didn't happen, and that somehow or another -- >> tucker: i'm not suggesting that. >> act like skin color doesn't matter. that is ignoring the problem. >> tucker: the chinese kid who arrived here 20 minutes ago suffers from that because of his race. and that is okay? >> no. >> tucker: the same ones giving us lectures during this antiracism summit. >> i think the argument has

merit, as it did for the jews -- >> tucker: but not a big deal for the chinese? >> i'm with him. >> tucker: [laughs] i hope so. i am. thank you, richard. good ideas, sir. we found a amazing series of blog posts that have received no media attention. the person who wrote themm looks in retrospect like a prophet calling for america first policies, at least a decade before president trump entered politics. in the days after hurricane katrina, the blogger suggested that native-born americans americans are to rebuild the city of new orleans. in 2006, the blogger said this about her television viewing habits, "i h love lou dobbs. his show has become required viewing around my house." the viewer agreed with lou dobbs on immigration. flying the flag on u.s. soil prescribes me as presumptuous and insulting to the u.s." the blogger went on to argue that illegal immigrants in this country are not coming here to embrace our ideas, they are coming for money, which they send to mexico. she made a pretty clear headed evidence base for

in a 2005 post, the same blogger attacked democrat howard dean for using racist, antiwhite rhetoric in a speech. "tagging the other side, the republicans, as the party of whitey may sound just like the way to get these minority voters back but it so misses the point." the blogger later scolded howard dean for insulting christians and white american. who wrote all of that? we could give you time guess but you would never guess. believe it or not, it seemed like the author of what ii just read was joy reid. the now totally dogmatic race-baiting msnbc weekend host. according to the internet archive, joy reid apparently posted those views on a now defunct blog a decade ago. she wouldn't do that now. msnbc would fire her right away for the crime of independent thinking.de we repeatedly contacted joy w reid's lawyer and msnbc for comment and no one responded to us. it's possible reid will claim those posts were written by a mysterious hacker. last time she got caught with blog post

civilization. even suicidal. the idea that you are not allowed to defendd yourself seems to undergird a lot of what we are seeing. have you noticed this?t >> yes. not just yourself, but the whole shape of society. george soros' open society foundation, which he, of course, has poured billions of dollars into, i mean, this is the biggest political campaign organization in the world, he wants to break down the fundamental values of our society. in the case of europe, he doesn't want europe to be based on christianity. now, all of this, whether it's soros or some of those very strange people in california, all of this is based on some kind of self-loathing. some sort of guilt trip about the past and in soros' case, it's a guilt trip, of course, about america's -- about, sorry, germany's war time actions. the way the jews were tweeted. in america, how the indians were treated. it's all based on guilt but it's not based on reality. i have to say, in the case of

soros, the bosses in brussels will be furious with his timing. we have italy inwe revolt because the new government or the attempted new government wants to get rided of half a million illegal migrants and soros appears to be going ever so slightly mad. >> tucker: right. i would say that there are a lot of sins that we collectively have committed as a society. as a civilization. obviously.bu but i sort of wonder can we continue if those sins so shake our faith in ourselves that we refuse to defend ourselves? i mean, the church in oakland that we described in the intro is encouraging its members not to call police even when they feel they need the police. if that's not a suicidal t impulse, what is it? >> oh, no. i mean, look, you know, there are many european cities now where the total failure of our political class to defend our judeo-christian culture, which actually underpins the whole society is in many ways what's opened the doors to islamic extremism.

we are engaged in some very,y, very dangerous policies here. the good news, though, is that voters are rebelling. brexit, trump. the recent italian elections. the victory of victor orban and hungary. peoplele that pay their taxes, obey the law, go to work, they want none of those. >> tucker: i wonder why the eastern europeans don't seem quite as guilty as the west? is it because they suffered for so long under the soviets? >> oh, look. they suffered in many cases under naziism and under the soviets. not until 1990 that these countries were actually free western democracies. and they do.ra i think it's important to realize that the church plays a much bigger role in society in poland and hungary that and it does in france and germany. >> tucker: that's really smart

that almost, you hear a lot about russia but you neverou hear anything about china's human rights abuses? do you think they are connected? >> the human rights abuses and lack of religious freedom is worse today in china than it's been since the days of mao. don't forget president xi has now appointed himself president for life. it is terrible. that's why i can't understand. the very fact that thousands of muslim kids are being taken away. i had a muslim woman come by my office about two months ago. 35 of her grand children have been taken and put in these detention camps. i urge you to google. >> tucker: i'm going to. you just convinced me next week, we are going to do a segment on chinese human rights abuses.we you would think american a liberals would care but they don't. i appreciate you coming on. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: britishg authorities have arrested tommy robinson for sexual abuse. they covered up their arrest of

♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: america's most cherished right, the freedom of religion, the freedom of speech, and freedom of press all of those had their roots in great britain but in great britain itself, those rights are dying out. tubby robinson is a journalist onon the political activist far, one of his chief causes is raising awareness about sexual abuse, grooming and rape committed by immigrants mostly from the islamic world. those crimes are ones that local authorities have ignored in order to avoid being called bigoted. last year robinson attemptedm to cover a gang rape trial involving several muslim men

in canturbury. for that, he was arrested and given a jail sentence and told not to cover any further trials. he performed a live stream outside a sexual abuse grooming tried trials in leeds. in a free country, ofso course, anybody ought to be able to say what they think on a public street. britain is not a free country anymore. so in a matter of hours, robinson was arrested, tried, and convicted and sentenced to 13 months in jail. that was fine, by the way, with most members of the press there and here. the further judge further barred the british media from reporting on robinson's imprisonment, too. that ban was only lifted yesterday, four days after he went behind bars. and that, too, was fine with most journalists in great britain and here. they said virtually almost nothing about it, amazingly. katie hopkins is a columnist. we talked to her about this earlier. katie, am i misstating this? it sounds and i know the pretext was he was interfering with jurors. he was speaking his views on a public street when he was arrested and convictedeear immediately and sentenced to over a year in prison.ed am i mischaracterizing that? a >> you are not at all.

that's exactly what happened. he was outside the courts, he was reporting on the trial of a grooming gang, as iri would call it, a rape squad. it's a cause, as you rightly say, that he has believed in for so many years. and he is one of those people who has been calling this out relentlessly, o despite all of the slurs that are made against him. and, yet, within five hours s he was arrested. he was tried, and he was sent to prison for 13 months. and none of us are allowed to talk about it, write about it, mention it, because there was also a ban on any of the media speaking about it. >> tucker: that's the part i don't understand. >> these are very dark times in the u.k.. it's a very curious feeling in the country at the moment. i would say the country is on a knife edge. c there is a real sense now that we are against our own government, that the establishment is working against us, and in order to cleanse voices it doesn't like, it will put them

inside for as long as it i needs to to shut them up. >> tucker: that's horrifying. i don't know, i will be honest, i don't know anything about him. i don't care.li i don't know what he believes. it doesn't matter. he was saying what he thinks to the public. >> i'll take that, tucker. i don't know tommy, either. i'm not a colleague of his. i don't work with him. many people say he is anay idiot. and in some ways i concur. >> tucker: so what?t? >> he has been told not to report at these trials and yet he is still there reporting. h he didn't go with his lawyer or solicitor. he knew he was going to get into trouble. but then, i say to myself, even if you don't like the guy, even if you don't know the guy, surely there d is some fundamental principles like, where was the swift justice for the victims ofof the grooming gangs? where was the swift justice for the 11-year-olds that were raped? if we can get tommy in prison in five hours, where was the swift justice foran the men and the victims?

no matter what you think of tommy, whether you love him, hate him or don't know him, throwing him in a prison when he repeatedly calls out rape squads, grooming gangs, that is a death sentence for tommy robinson. and we may criticize our government, may criticize the russians, like, for getting rid of skripal and spies they no longer want in our country, but our government knows if they put tommy robinson inside as they have done and if he isn put in an open wing, he will not survive his time inside. i don't see how we are any different from the russian if this is how we are going to cleanse people who speak out against the establishment. these are dark times. >> tucker: where are the media in this? so, again, you don't have to like this guy or know anything about him to understand what's at stake here, which is freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom ofhe the press. why would media outlets in great britain go along with this gag order? why don't they defy it? go ahead and arrest us all? if this isn't a civil rights d

issue, then what is a civil rights issue? >> this is where we divide, tucker, into right and wrong, good and bad. w and i have to say, i feelan like majority of mainstream media right now in the u.k. is on the side of the bad. it is more important fore them to be seen as multicultural and accepting and welcoming to our muslim colleagues and our friendso than it is to stand up for what we know is right. so it suits them much better to say well, no, tommy robinson is an idiot. he was told not to be there at the court. he was still there at the court. and the law in every sense justified to throw him inside. they are celebrating just as they are celebrating with roseanne. actually, what we have to ask ourselves is what happened to freedom of speech in the u.k. because i firmly believe we no longer have freedom of speech in the u.k. i believe tommy robinson will be killed inside the prison. it will be establishment that have blood on their id hands. >> tucker:nt everybody watching this should be horrified.

this is a threat not only to your rights, but to the rights of every american. our rights derive from the british system. this may be a glimpse into our future and we should fight back as hard as we can. thank you very much, katie hopkins, for that. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: well, people on cable tv have been howling about threats to democracy for a couple of years now. but, strangely, they are oddly silent about what just happened in europe likeus about 10 minutes ago. we will tell you what it is, next. ♪ (vo) i was born during the winter of '77. i first met james in 5th grade. we got married after college. and had twin boys. but then one night, a truck didn't stop.
