strengthened by their courage, let us continue to stand for the ideals for which they lived and died. >> martha: that's the "story" on june 6th. 2019. >> tucker: welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." every president since george washington faced political opposition. democracy are built on debate and competing ideas. if you find a political leader who seems universally loved you have found a dictatorship. as a matter of principle there is nothing wrong with opposing donald trump and his policies. that's not what has been happening for the past 2.5 years. nothing about the resistance enhanced our democracy or made this country better. the opposite.

it's shredded democratic nowhere else. they imposed censorship is on much of the country and sided with the bureaucracy over voters. like former cia director john brennan under voters to ignore and undermine the elected president. that's more destructive than anything the russians attempted. at nbc news he delivers commentary. >> it's treason. it's a betrayal of the nation. >> treason is a betrayal of trust and aiding and abetting the enemy. >> tucker: when you disagree with john brennan, it's high treason. the death penalty. brennan is a reckless and

unbalanced partisan. when we learned from a source last year that brennan retained his top secret security clearance as a civilian we were shocked but not surprised. brennan no longer works for the federal government and holds no official post. according to two sources we spoke to today, brennan retains the most valuable asset he had in government. a top secret security clearance. it's terrifying to think brennan still has access to that information. he is an extremist and should not have security clearance. senator rand paul said john brennan came on this show to say brenn brennan should not have a security clearance. then it was evoked and we

assumed that was the end of the story. a year later brennan still as a security clearance? how? the executive branch ignored the president's orders. he was elected by voters and they were not. all legitimate power in the executive branch flows from him and the election he won. his employees don't care. bureaucrats wield the real authority. we decided to find out what happened. we called over to the executive branch. we were told that brennan no longer has access to classified information, that means the administration sent a letter to intelligence agencies explaining that brennan no longer has a need to know. that sound reassuring, but it's a mirage. it means nothing. bureaucrats can ignore that

letter. the president of the united states was undermined by his own staff. he gave them a direct order. in their passive aggressive way they refused to carry it out. every time that happens our democracy erodes. that's fine with official washington. if holding elections mean donald trump wins power they are against holding elections. nancy pelosi said her goal is not to impeach the president. her goal is to put him in prison? for what crime? she did not specify. it doesn't matter. trump's real offense was getting elected in the first place. here is a radio host who is joining us. is it possible to tame the

bureaucracy? >> no, there is a more pervasive attitude. the democratic party is from the deep state. there is a relationship between the people who work for the government and the democratic party supports them. we saw this with hillary clinton donations in the last election cycle. there is little accountability for what they do. there is little you can point to and say you will get in trouble for this. unless you break the law or don't show up at all, you will be able to stay and do what you want to do. >> tucker: you are more likely to die in a job than be fired by the federal government. this is a greater threat to our democracy or breaking into podesta's email account?

>> it's a much bigger deal. there are people around the president that he may not know are part of a # resistance. they believe they are doing the country a favor by protecting us from different things he may say he wants to do. but that's fundamentally not their job. once you are talking about the federal bureaucracy, there are news stories about individuals who cried when president trump was elected and think they are doing the country a favor by refusing to enact policies they disagree with. how do you deal with this? i don't know. i don't think there is a way to have bureaucratic reform. >> tucker: the last thing you want to do is give more power to

unelected bureaucrats? the past week democratic candidates said we should bypass congress to enact gun control and protect abortion and to fight global warming. give the agencies more power. that's an attack on democracy when you say that? >> yes, and it's showing you that the bureaucratic agencies, the permanent branch of government, tend to lean left. if you are looking to get things done that have the force of law but don't go through the legislative process and are not accountable to the people. turn to the bureaucracies for rule making. the rule making that goes on doesn't come from congress. unfortunately people like it when their side is in a position

to do that. in the trump era this has gone to a new level. >> tucker: it's gone in the opposite direction. trump wins the election and is in charge of the executive branch of the federal government. yet, it's become even less accountable? >> right in the obama administration, epa would take it upon themselves without going to congress. in the trump administration the epa and state department and other places can decide they won't enact trump administration policies because they think it's better for the country. there is a lot of power in the different bureaucracies. how can they be accountable? who know what they are doing? very few people. people voting should not count

as much. >> tucker: i was hoping you were going to reassure me. great to see you. the wife of a top congressional democrat allegedly took money from her charity into a for-profit organization. lisa join us with more. >> you were talking about the resistr resistance and one of the main leaders this. what happened is there has been a complaint filed against his wife, and the complaint was filed by the national policy and legal center. it has two chief complaints. first is drawing the fact, she has a charity called a global policy solution.

businesses that have interest before the oversight committee are giving money to this charity. that's the first complaint. a quote from tom anderson the chief investigator. he highlights there is million dollars coming from corporations with special interest. any time you have that it opens the door for massive corruption. that's number 1. the second concern can self-dealing. she has a charity group and as an llc, and the money from the charity she pays herself a management fee to it. this is raising big questions with this group. they brought it to the attention of the irs. >> tucker: she has a for-profit

attacked to the none non-profit and she's profiting? >> yes, that's what this group flagged to draw attention to. >> tucker: that seems so corrupt. has congressman cummings responded? >> he has. he is saying this is a political hit job. his wife said i hired attorneys and professionals to make sure i am doing everything by the books. we will see what happens. she mentioned the income from the llc but not from the non-profit. they are commingleded and that's why they flied a complaint to the irs.

-- getting a 5% management fee. in 2 years made $250,000 off of that management fee. >> tucker: unbelievable. we are hold told they could reassess. thanks for that report. --. >> well, youtube clamping down on free speech. the fascist mob complied the journalists applauds. we will explain what is happening straight ahead.

>> tucker: this is the conservative comedian who makes videos on youtube and has 4 million subscribers. his stuff is not for everyone but so? if you don't like his videos watch something else. it's a free country. a writer at fox.com demanded that youtube band crowder for insulting him. many in the washington press corps agree. the person levelled racist attacks on line and whines about being a victim himself. a fascist posing as a victim.

no adult will take him seriously but youtube is obeying his command. youtube is killing crowder's business. they admitted he broke no rules. vocx told youtube to take him aurora. -- off. why is this allowed to continue? youtube and the new public square. tech companies have special immunity from being sued for fraud. the purpose is to allow true i have diversity of political discourse. the effect is immunity. that's worth tens of billion

dollars. it's one of the reasons the owners of twitter and facebook and google are so rich. you guaranteed that to them through representatives in the congress. in return these tech companies violate the terms of the deal every minute of every day. they are not open forums. they are exercises in control and censorship. the question is: how long will the rest of us stand for this. thanks for coming on. you don't have to be a fan of crowder or anyone to see this as a threat to one person's speech is a threat to all of our speech. is it not? >> yes. i find crowder to be a cretan. i think he is a bully and bigot. he did not just criticize carlos, he mocked him for being

gay and latina and sent a lot of harassment his way. that's the point. censorship advocates want our brains to just go to the first level of: do we hate their person and are we glad they are being censored? without thinking about the consequences. it resonates with me. i am a gay man in brazil. my husband is a member of congress on the oppositional party. we have been mocked by not youtube but by the president of the country himself on twitter and his family members who are elected members of congress. it would never occur to me to run to social media companies to beg for censorship? in part it comes with the

territories of being a public figure. i don't want to live in a world where our discourse is policed and determined by overlords who run silicone valley companies and will always cater to the most powerful faction. that's what happened. youtube caved in defense of the powerful one who works for a major media company. that's what they will always do. defend the mob and the powerful at the expense of those who are marginalized. >> tucker: that's such a good point! you don't have immunity that youtube enjoys which is granted by congress. you founded a big and well known site. if you libel someone you can be sued. why do they retain immunity?

>> that's a good question. originally youtube, google, twitter and facebook were supposed to be like at&t. neutral public platforms. if crowder wants to call someone using at&t an anti-vox rally nobody expects him to get at&t to stop him. in reality, this power to censor was not one they wanted. it was one that was hoisted help them largely by journalists who demanded they removed voices from the internet. imagine going to journalism and begging corporations to silence people. that's why they ended up this in position. >> tucker: that's so nicely put. federal prosecutors revealed

charges against the wiki leak founder. have you been close to this story from day 1. your point is this could criminalize ordinary journalism. what do you mean? >> a lot of your viewers probably remember under the obama administration a lot of journalists were called criminals for working with sources including rosen who worked with a source who leaked classified material. they never criminalized the people who published that material. the trump justice department said that wiki leaks is criminal not because they stole the information but because they published. we have seen on the left and the right the cia and the fbi are agencies will that abuse their power unless they have great

transparency shined on them. they want to punish assange. if you public secret information you can be turned into a criminal. that's why it's so dangerous to press freedom. >> tucker: that's the key point. they whip the mob into the frenzy and distract us from the consequences to us. thank you for reminding us of those consequences. appreciate it. what would a bill de blasio presidency look like? probably not a question if real life but we will look at new york where de blasio fans racial animosity at a level unprecedented. that's next. has been excellent.

>> ♪ >> tucker: there has been a surge of anti-semitic violence in bill de blasio's new york. in 2019 anti-semitic attacks went up by 82%! instead of fighting this mayor bill de blasio decided to fuel it. he said he knows who is behind it. people of a certain skin color. watch this. >> i want to remind people that particularly these white supremacists forces affront the jewish community and the muslim community and the gay community and the immigrant community. that's one of the things that is happening here. >> tucker: the guy is a moron, but that's not an excuse for making a statement like that. there is no evidence that white

supremacists are behind this. seth joins us with the actual facts. as a factual matter is there evidence to support what mayor bill de blasio claims? >> no. mayor de blasio knows who is doing these attacks. he was working in the administration during the riots 30 years ago. just a week ago a young man circ punched a jew from the back. in october a taxi driver attacked a jew and was screaming about islam. he said it was a mistaken identity. i guess he thought it was

somebody else. de blasio knows who is doing this. this is largely -- the violence is being done by black and latino kids and occasionally a cab driver. he is playing a game. this is political season. he is in say anything mode. >> tucker: isn't that the same as lying to whip up race hatred? >> de blasio has done a lot of this. he is pushing the same kind of rhetoric in the schools. he claims there is a lot of racism in the uft. >> tucker: that's the teacher's union? >> yes. >> tucker: is there evidence? new york city is the most sophisticated city in the new york. everything is should. is there data to prove this?

>> no, there is no data to prove overt racism. if black students are not attending the best schools because they are not doing well on the tests, according to de blasio that's white supremacy. if anti-semitic is up it's because of white supremacy. >> tucker: if you go to the parks, do the leaders of the ha siddic communities believe the problem is the ku klux klan? >> no, they know who is attacking them. it's the same story for 60 years in these neighborhood. no. nobody believes it. de blasio doesn't believe it. he is just saying it. >> tucker: that's the lowest form of lying. seth, great to see you. thank you. de blasio is sewing racial division.

the chancellor of the city schools richard is leading the charge. he is spear heading the effort to abolish merit based admissions to the famous magnet schools? because asians have been too successful there and we can't have that. a lawsuit accuses him of demoting certain employees on the basis of their skin color. teachers were told to give students more attention based on the color of their skin. heather joins us. why is this different from jim crow? >> because we are supposed to believe that white house are the source of all evil in society. and the discrimination against white house is compatible with

the constitutional ban on all discrimination. the supreme court embraced that in allowing racial discrimination in college admissions in the name of diversity. what is going on is slightly different in new york city right now. the diversity rationale for racial discrimination which seems quaint is replaced by something far for vicious and more hating which is the idea of toxic white culture. -- this is a test. if they get away with this, it shows that the idealogy of hatred and racial division that is pervasive in our higher education system is entrenching itself throughout the rest of society. that will lead to, i fear, a state of very, very dangerous

racial tension in our society. >> tucker: i don't understand how descent people can allow this to happen. i really don't. i think throughout the new york city school system there are descent people and a lot who live in the city. how can they sit back and allow children to be attacked on the basis of their skin color? >> people are cowed by the charge of racism. obviously. richard in demoting three white women and justifying what he is doing in his racial crusade in the schools said 75% of school students are black and hispanic. now they have senior administrators who look like them, what is wrong with that? let's acknowledge the lunancy of this. no student knows who is buried

deep in the bowels of the college administration. the desperation to explain away black academic achieve. we are claiming someone in the bowels is going to make a difference. if white privilege explains everything. tell me why 7 of the 8 recent spelling bee example champions were indian americans. they studied their buts off and that's what the inner city kids have to start doing. >> tucker: a lot of them do. the high level merit based high

school in new york city. they have amazing outcomes. they are not majority white schools and not close. >> no. they are neither white nor privileged. he's are poor asians with a culture of academic achievement. as long as the myth of bias remains, the only explanation for racial disparities the left wins. more people have to say this is not a racist society. this is not a mainstream institution in this country which is not doing what richard is doing, which is hiring and promoting on the basis of race. it's a benefit. if you apply to harvard to be black or hispanic and in micro soft a female complained about the anti-white male bias in that keerption. -- corporation.

stepped. the chicago police department concluded in their investigation that they believe that jussie smollett sent letters to himself. in those letters contained a white substance. not only did jussie smollett allegedly fake his head crime but faked a terrorist attacks against his workplace. a guy in florida sent devices to democrats and he is facing life in prison. jussie smollett did the same thing. >> tucker: that's an excellent question and impugned an entire group of americans. this was not just a fake attack on himself. it was an aggressive attack on other people. >> exactly. the man tried to drive a bigger wedge in this country and tried to start a race war. if this happened in the summer
