ike their answer, ask again at schwab. schwab. a modern approach to wealth management. speech of that is the story tonight through tuesday august 27, 2019. ♪ >> hope you're having a great night. welcome to tucker carlson tonight. i'm brian kilmeade once again filling in for the great tucker carlson but he will be making it special. later on in the show. i checked the rundown. meanwhile, when joe biden first enter the presidential race back in april, the press competed to see you can fake the most enthusiasm for his candidacy. remember? >> he just decided to bypass the primaries and go to write to the rate main event and assign everybody else to the kiddie table. speak about his job i that is best. that is someone who is authentic and it's the reason he connects with people. >> today the man has been a

senator, vice president, and a big fan of aviators. he is joining the race. >> the aviators are back. there they are. there are the aviators and he loves this. he is having fun. this is not heavy lifting for joe biden. >> i thought that message today was very thrilling. to me, i thought it was american, i thought it was great. >> brian: american and thrilling. you can do both good for a moment, may be biden's campaign really thought it would be that easy but of course, it is not viewed almost every day that brings a new setback for the campaign. yesterday new allegations that his bomber brother promised biden himself to potential business partners but on most ds it's biden sabotaging himself but sometimes he forgets what state he's in others he is dividing american children into poor kids and white kids. the formerly fawning media are feigning concern for his well-being now. >> i think there's a sense that he could falter and then someone else would have to run. we don't know who that is briskly going in luck, biden has

to figure out what state he's in first before he talks about fighting donald trump. ending, he is campaigning in new hampshire and he thinks he's in vermont. >> he sing i could take you to back to the time before trump and everything was fine and people of color don't agree with that statement necessarily. >> people may be recalculating what makes someone electable. if i were in the biden camp i would be very concerned. >> voters under 50 and this site. not only is joe biden out in the lead, look how far you have to go down. joe biden is sitting at 6% in this poll. a while back. i've never seen someone fall in a worn eyes so quickly and it's not even labor day. even at women's at march leader's or osorio's question by these overall fitness for the presidency now. after his mixing up those of new hampshire she tweeted this. this is actually not funny, it's very sad. these can't be gaffes. it people needs to be worried about his overall health. tammy bruce is the president of

imitated independent women's voice on fox nation. have you ever seen people on the same team is joe biden trying to beat that team so quickly? >> no camino, in the beginning it was like after the coverage you would think everyone needed a cigarette to shower it was so lovely but the media is a fickle mistress. it's easy to get to and easy to lose and i think there are also opportunist. at the beginning everyone saw it was back into the normal rhythm of ever the next in line and he was going to be president so they are all over you. the moment there is a little bit of the sample perhaps or if used before, my goodness, it's like maybe he is not the one and it's a free-for-all. this is the problem with the entire establishment. they think they know they are doing and they are going to cuddle up to whoever is going to be and then when that doesn't work out they are just going to go over to who is the most convenient or the next one. this is not loyalty, it's not even about joe biden really.

it's about the opportunism of people in the legacy media trying to cuddle up to the next person who they think is going to have it. it's not even about principle. these individuals in the media don't have them but they also i think are part of the chaos that now is ruling the bacardi party. nobody knows what's going to happen and the old rules are going to be getting to not apply. >> brian: you know when bill clinton hopped on the stage and you saw the confidence of ronald reagan and you see joe biden by almost all accounts come he's got off to a stumbling start but he does represent something different to what i think is the most serious is his political story talking about what his younger brother is doing, james. going around saying my brother will help you with this court system and incorporated your health care model into his plan plans. of course, you could say i never give him permission to have but i also talk what his son's involvement with the hedge fund with his brother and i think these are people trying to say we've got more. is that your sense?

>> yes but also remember, it's people like joe biden would been part of the system forever, part of the establishment who have seen that the government is their own company. it you see it as their own little party and that's how it always has worked out and this is what they are also all trying so just barely to hang onto so everybody knows which will biden has been injured, everyone knows what everyone else has been into you except of course for donald trump who is like and not system so they do know and i think that the fact that this is now being discussed perhaps is a message to him that, you know, it's time to move on no matter what the democrats do, they will not win the white house in 2020 but it really comes down to the average democrat deserves better, the average democrat has been abandoned and betrayed as much is the average republican and at this is the democrats opportunity, the average regular mainstream voter, to say we like what's going on in the country, i trump has delivered on his promises, our lives are better,

the future is brighter and we ae done with all of these games and we are done with politicians and that includes people like joe biden. >> brian: yeah, the real clear average still has a point lead. in hampshire he's up to two despite the proximity to bernie sanders. it's still early, i get it but it's closing quick and we have another debate coming up for ten people will be on the stage. again, there will be no second date. tammy bruce, always great to see you come i love your show on fox nation. meanwhile, biden's presidential campaign isn't the only one seeking under awkward moments. at a recent campaign event over and charles think north carolina, beto o'rourke, east on the wrist, argue that it should be legal to get an abortion even one day before childbirth for example -- >> someone asked you specifically about third trimester abortions and you said that's a decision left up to the mothers so my question is this. i was born september 8th 1989

and i want to know if you think on september 7th to 1989 my life had no value. >> of course i don't think that and of course i'm glad that you are here. this is a decision that neither you nor i nor the united states government should be making. that's a decision for the woman to make. we want her to have -- >> brian: so they are cheering for an abortion i would happen the day before birth and in this case 1989, september 8th. all right, somehow though that might not even be beta strangers statement from the night. lisa boothe is a senior fellow and independent women's voice, she joins us now. we want you to see how bizarre things are getting them on the stage. >> that shouldn't be surprising that this is the strangest thing he has said coming from the guy who instagram has dental visit so that should not be that surprising that on this comment, look. beto has really struggled to gain traction in the 2020 election. in 2020 was able to do so

because you was a binary choice between him and senator booker. now it is not, now that it he's in this mix of 20 some candidates come he's not registering. voters are paying that much attention to him so what we're seeing from him is this pandering to the left that's just trying to get traction. i mean, even the guys name is fake but he is struggling to get out traction here in the second part of this on the issue of abortion is this represents this major shift to the left that we have scenes from some of these democratic candidates on the issue where they are now on-site of mainstream america on the issue of abortion. you look at beto o'rourke's we just heard advocating for abortion essentially up until the moment of birth and we have also seen people like joe biden who is supposed to be a moderate who has supported repealing the hyde amendment which is again against mainstream america. this is talking about advocating. now he's advocating for taxpayer-funded abortions with most americans do not support.

steven wright, and he will be there next week so to show you how proud he is at that moment, he tweeted that out to say no matter how many times u.s. and e the same for the decision whether or not to get an abortion one way or another, the united states government should not be making that decision. the woman should make it. so he is proud of that moment. >> he is on again, i really think he is trying to do anything he can to try to reach the democratic base and reach the progressive base but there's also another comment that he made at this event at the college of charleston i want you and the viewers at home to take a listen. >> suffering one of the greatest droughts in the report history because not by god or mother nature but by you and me and all of us. our emissions are excessive and are matched by the science and the truth. >> there he is blaming americans, blaming us for the drought that is going on in guatemala.

he is mentioned before the climate change is the most existential threats facing the united states for one thing that's interesting that hasn't gotten that much traction which i think what if he ends up emerging more as one of the top five candidates are getting little bit more attention is the fact that he had signed a no fossil fuel pledge in his 2018 senate race and was actually removed from the list because he ended up taking almost half a million dollars from the oil and gas industry for individuals and also executives in that industry. he was actually only second to senator ted cruz in the amount of senate candidates that took more money. >> brian: you talk about the all-time high he enters on the cover of every magazine had he can get out a single digit and now he's looking to get one or two digits. i think the democratic party arm wising up. >> he is just not interesting. he's boring pit is nothing that exciting about him pretties very inauthentic and i just, you know, he has on the debate stage

next month so we will see if he gets any traction from that but so far he has not. >> brian: he is not jumped off the counter in quite some time. >> may be there something elevating, he will get on the podium, we don't know yet. >> brian: we do know he will be on the stage. we will see. meanwhile, a d.c. area mother says that her husband was stolen from her and she says the perpetrator was none other than squad member congresswoman ilhan omar. chief correspondent trace gallagher has more on this fiction in marriage. >> court documents obtained by our corporate cousin say the d.c. political consultant to my not met democratic congresswoman ilhan omar while he worked for her. apparently omar paid my net and his consulting group about $230,000 to her campaign for things like fund-raising, digital communications, and travel expenses and the daily color news foundation now says the conservatives government

ethics watchdog is looking into whether omar used campaign funds to pursue the affair. meantime, dr. beth my net says her husband told her back in april that he was romantically involved with ilhan omar with court records adding this, quote, although devastated by the betrayal and deceit that preceded his abrupt declaration, playing and told the defendant that she loved him and was willing to fight for the marriage. defendant however told her that was not an option for him. the minutes lived together for six years before marrying in 2012. they have a 13-year-old son but dr. my net says even before her husband told her about the affair, he had already introduced their son to representative omar and in court papers, dr. my net argued that her husband's decision, cold, put his son in harm's way by taking him out in public with breath omar who at that time had garnered a plethora of media attention along with death threats, one rising to the level of arresting the would be known

as in that same week. because of those actions, dr. my net is now seeking primary custody of their son. remember, ilhan omar has also been accused of marrying her biological brother so he could obtain american citizenship. neither omar nor to my net has yet commented. >> brian: congress top back in session but the action is not sought. congresswoman omar is still in the news. trace gallagher, we will talk to that later. two assignments today, we after vm doubled. i hope the invoices before the end of the show. supreme court justice ruth gator ginsberg was just treated for cancer again but she may have public appearance in buffalo buffalo. next, sucker calls some himself will be back for a appearance. at that straight ahead move. it ♪

>> brian: welcome back officially. not even another cancer scare could shut down supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg. the court announced last week that she had just completed a look course of radiation therapy for tumors on her pancreas but on monday, get this, ginsberg made a public appearance at the university of buffalo for a friend and seemed very healthy. watch. >> it was beyond my wildest imagination that i would end her one day become the notorious ruth. i am now 86 years old yet people of all ages want to take their picture with me.

amazing. >> brian: shannon bream as host of fox news at night. she will take the stage at 11:00 but she is also a supreme court expert and shannon, it's amazing. this 86-year-old woman, indestructible, right? >> yeah, she is a tough cookie. we talk about the work ethic she has in the push-ups and everything else, she is hard-core and listen. she has had for cancer scare is now and come through them but she has constant monitoring blood test scans and she really stays out of this. she is very resilient and rated were determined. i tell people the story that she is very close with her husband, married for decades and the day after he died, i didn't expect to see our court and she was there on the bench and she has said her life is committed to this work. she knows the impact of the supreme court for generations to come and she felt like her husband would want her to be here at there even though she was grieving. she feels a deep sense of responsibility to the court and she's going to stay. >> brian: the thing that brought her to the university of buffalo was wayne which found,

her friend from the undergraduate days at cornell. a long time it go he passed away in december but she wanted to make sure that ginsberg was still going to show up so she attend in any way for an honorary degree to get there so you expect her back in session, right? >> yeah, they are back into session october 7th formally for arguments. they are also already reading briefs but she's kept up her schedule this summer other than a little vacation break with that she was undergoing for radiation she expect i will be there appeared she's going to be cooking and cranking with the rest of them. she is ready and there are big things on the docket this fall. i was very much expect her to be there and i love that she does have a sense of humor about her own celebrity. i think she does enjoy that side of her personality, something she may be never thought would happen to her publicly but she rate misses a. >> brian: is hilly clinton had one, do you think she was chubby on the on the bench? >> that is a good question. she said she wants to say is long as justin stevens who

recently passed away but she's 86 now and she says she wants to make it another four years at least so she is planning to stick around as long as possible and i think she tries to signal that it doesn't have to do with the white house prayed they all want to seem apolitical but she faces a lot of pressure from the left who told her it's time to go and she said no, i'm staying. we want you mind if i do a sports analogy said it that's it, i don't want to surprise anyone. he said and i want to do this anymore, it's up to you to fill my spot. if she does like him and you think of the last year of her presidency mitch mcconnell will put somebody else all up? >> yes, absolutely. even before her latest guy come i said, what would you do? and he said leave know they can see the hydrating said he's going to fill in a matter watch. he says it could get really ugly but i'm not sure the country has recovered from what we went through the cavanaugh battle but he is ready for it. >> brian: are you still prepared to host your shoulder? you have enough energy?

>> you and i am but with angela, i wonder if we should set up a set of contest between andrew luck and ruth bader ginsburg. >> brian: i would not put those two together, different mindsets. away, she shannon bream good i look forward to seeing her in the hall could she will be in york for one more day. meanwhile, my 9 minutes from the bottom of the era, former acting out at the i director andrew mccabe could soon face charges for lying to federal agents. prosecutors now are partly on the brink of reaching the decision about whether to prosecute mccabe. this is going to be tight. she is host of justice with janine, i hit show on the weekends on saturday night. you will see her on the news channel but the bigger news this week with the judges the release of her new book radicals relit resistance and revisions, the left squad to remake america. jeanine pirro, great to see you. >> go to see you tonight. you should be at home getting ready for bed.

>> brian: so with mccabe, i find this fascinating, you do this every day. i obviously don't but the fact is that defense attorneys for mccabe were kind of meaning, they are two separate meetings with justice department officials over the last few days, what does that mean? >> what it means is that the line prosecutors did not agree to not go forward with the prosecution of andrew mccabe. otherwise there would be no point to go to the deputy attorney general or the jagged, right? if i didn't want to prosecute them, there would be no point to go to washington so that's why an indictment is imminent. his attorneys are trying to convince the top guys at the doj that you cannot indict this guy and here is our proof or not wanting you to indict him. lisa page, part of the lovebird couple struck and mccabe has said look, mccabe had the right to actually leak this kind of information. it was the deputy director of the fbi and he had no motive to lie even though the

inspector general and referring this as a criminal referral said he lied on three occasions. >> brian: so to back up just a little bit, and he mccabe was asked, did you leak to "the wall street journal"? he said no, didn't. >> then he said i don't remember. >> brian: right brittany said remember. so it's okay for him to remember it's okay for him to be confused but it's not okay for michael finn to be confused. it's not okay for george papadopoulos to be confused. they don't ask you -- because they don't give you that understanding. >> it's worse than that and i will tell you why. papadopoulos, the day that he didn't remember was of no consequence. and michael flynn and a lieutenant general for 30 years, even the fbi agents didn't believe that he was lying. they have to show that there is an actual intent to lie a bit more significant than that is the fact that when you were at that level of government, they try to make an example of view so that your wrongdoing is treated almost more severely

than all of other people's and yet this guy is still walking around getting a job at cnn and riding a big book. >> brian: i find it interesting to hear it so i did not know this came into play. in deciding whether to go forward with the prosecution, they are going to look at the court and when she would be in front of and if they look at it as a liberal court with a conservative president, they might say this is not going to get to a conviction, is it worth my time? i'm an idealistic world. whether he did it or not but not what would the jury look like. i'm surprised by that. >> i talk about it in my book and i talk about andrew mccabe specifically and what he should be charged with and i even give the statutes in the book but here's the bottom line. every prosecutor, and i did this for 30 years, every prosecutor is going to say can i prove this case beyond the reasonable doubt question want to have the element for the crime? and then they're going to say will the jury bag? you've got a d.c. jury that is not trumped inclined and so they are going to kind of look at it and look at lisa page and say

this is not a right inclined jury or even a balustrade. the one it's amazing pure just in case you think he is contrite, he is suing to get his pension back because he feels he was fired for political reasons so not only does he feel instant innocent, he felt he was wrongly fired. >> i pray to talk about that in the book too. this guy is such an ego he thinks he was being targeted as if anybody cares about andrew mccabe and who he is but what he did was wrong. it was dead wrong and we are not even talking about some of the other issue is, what is wife ran for state senate in virginia, he goes to terry mcauliffe to get money from the clinton foundation, this is all dirty stuff dirty stuff. >> brian: just for the record, but you are not yelling at me, that's just what you do. it seems like you are yelling at me but i'm from an italian family and i'm used to it so i want people to know. >> i'm a judge, have to yell in the courtroom, they have to listen to me. and i don't have a gavel here. next time i will bring my gavel. >> brian: see you on

fox & friends and if few hours. okay. i'm always nice. too afraid not to be nice. thank you judge. meanwhile like many other major cities, st. louis is a democratic stronghold. now children are getting caught in the cross fire. i'm not kidding. that story is next. plus, will president trump's trade war with china and in victory for american companies? somebody who knows the answer play let's take a wide shot and then go to break. ♪

>> brian: st. louis is one of america's most dangerous cities and anyone can become a victim. it's over the weekend three children were killed in the cities and officers are offering big-time rewards to find the perpetrators. >> crisis team will be there to help classmates teachers and staff. she was killed in high school after a fight broke out following a football jim reappeared in the next day city leaders announced $25,000 in

reward money will be offered to the end of the month to motivate tipsters in any of the recent homicides of area children. >> brian: can you imagine this question mike crimes like this are routine and some of america's most liberal cities. in st. louis 12 kids have died over the last six months. most of the buck sexton so, he is with us. but come all these kids are black. i have the number 13. it the highest murder rate of any city in america. what's going on question mike >> overall violence in america has been dropping for years which is a great story but there are thec areas, generally democrat-controlled live in areas where you not only has a disparity with the decrease in crime and the rest of the country you actually have put crime rates rising great st. louis is one of them. violent crime in st. louis is up markedly over the last ten year years. new orleans is another city, chicago is high, baltimore, i

was in west baltimore just a few weeks ago, these are cities that need real assistance in the new approaches to crime fighting and there is just a political culture in place that refuses to shift or refuses to change tactics and deal with very tough questions about how to protect all people in this case young children from gunfire on the street. >> brian: they are trying to find who is doing this and you wonder are these kids caught in the cross fire or is there some series of sickos really targeting children? i ask you. i'm not saying don't cover el paso and dayton, they are horrific and we should never be numb to them but why are we focusing on what's happening chicago and st. louis. we will just say welcome its gang violence. it really? 13 kids are dead? we are just going to say it's getting valid, they are just killing each other question mike >> while, this is what he nor stories about dozens of evil being shot. one weekend in chicago and it's something that we become numb to it. the people don't think about this as the crisis in some parts

of chicago that it is and that's because of exactly what you brought up which is the narrative that is in play here for mass shootings where automatically you have a left that's a very antigun and they see a mass shooting as an opportunity to push the gun control issue which is fascinating because they don't have the same focus on inner-city crime and crimes that are provided eminently in minority communities because it would raise issues like why chicago, baltimore, st. louis, why are these areas where we have not been able to see the huge dry crime drop that we've had in st. louis the past couple of years? >> brian: are we letting in politics get into how they are doing their job? we watch so many careers crater because they feel as though they were doing their job and they get accused of not doing their job well. kind of the pan to label effect. we've seen some of that in this. >> absolutely. you talk to law enforcement and i was in nypd and was in the intelligence can division and you speak to them and the sense

that you are not supported from the top down the, that you could get jammed up in the politics, it's when you have to as a law-enforcement officer make the tough call but you need to know the grass has your back and a lot of these cities, they just don't come and they know that. >> brian: inc. so much for you to see see you. now, let's change it here. president trump continues to ramp up his trade war with china. next week, new tariffs and $550 billion of chinese goods will start coming into effect. trump says he's think stern is looking to make a deal but how will this trade were actually on question mike will it? manufacturers and farmers benefit in the long run? author of the hundred year marathon, china's secret strategy to replace america, as a global superpower, gordon chang. the only thing i will take you on is it's no secret. they want to do that. donald trump stopping in? are we on the path that you

would put our country on just off to? >> well, president trump saw this coming 20 years ago. maybe it wasn't a secret to him even that far back. but i think what actually is happening is so many of our china experts and the intelligence committee and the think tanks went wrong. everybody thought china would remain poor at number one and number two, would remove tortoise free market and some kind of political reform but it what had and said as they created a state system with what they call the hundred 20 national champions. these companies are now the largest in the world. china didn't not have any companies at all on the fortune 500 largest capitalization in the world list. now, china has a hundred 20 and most of them are state orange enterprises. we helped to build it, we helped finance them on wall street, we either gave them technology so

we are largely responsible back from the early 1980s for this kind of predatory state that's been created in president trump has the idea of trying to slow down there becoming the number one power in the world biked as you might expect, there's been a lot of resistance from china. they are not used to a president who wants to call them and do something about it. >> brian: they can figure out quite where this is going. they said a couple of months ago, we were 90% done with this deal did what you think happened inside china that made them back off from this deal? what was happening question mike did somebody lose a power struggle? >> well a lot of intelligence agencies around the world are trying to spy on china to find out the answer to that question. if that makes them even more determined not to tell us. we can see several things have happened. they were called an ambassador from geneva was a world class trade expert. then the administer of commerce who was known as a hard-liner it did not attend the meetings and began to show up and was on the

phone calls with light heiser and steve mnuchin and several other things happens that implies that there is kind of a hawk group in china that you did not pay much attention to these trade talks the first year. they then began to look into it and perhaps they realized how much change was required. almost like constitutional change in china. if they made this agreement you are alluding to. if they made it legally -- up having some chinese leaders thought this was just a statement of good intentions. we will do our best. but actually, the agreements requires them to change their laws and they can be sued in court if they don't. it this may have shocked them. then they backed out. >> brian: so right now if i have a sophisticated iphone and i want to make it in china, i have to give it to the government and say this is how i made it.

so we want to put that about us. we are not going to do that. our businesses need to look beyond their own wallets and say i am not going to give up my technology. i'm going to do it in vietnam or i might do it in america. i got a better idea, central america is hurting. hardworking people there. can we bring up manufacturing to central america? >> i think the president's goal is to create jobs in america is when he ran on and a lot of this process that i just mentioned over the last 20 or 30 years, it's caused the deindustrialization. manufacturing jobs have plummeted recently. the consequences of our building in china as a president puts it has been very bad for us but with the president is trying to do and is a pretty good chance you will succeed, is try to rebalance things. not to turn china into an enemy but rebalancing so it's better for america. >> brian: that's an exciting time. they've had their lowest growth in the last 27 euros. that's a lot to do with the

president taking them on right now. keep your fingers crossed it comes out great for us. >> they are still growing three times as fast as us. >> brian: right. thanks so much. you got it. meanwhile, tucker is off tonight but he will be making a special appearance right after the break had that story is next. don't move. ♪

>> brian: another development that sure to drive conspiracy theories nuts. they showed some of the camera footage of jeffrey epstein saw was quote unusable. trace gallagher joins us with more on this mystery. >> brian, initially we were told there were no cameras near the cell where jeffrey epstein hanged himself now we are being told there were at least two and likely more. "the washington post" says at

least one post was outside the cell that had footage that was unusable but clear footage was also capture but here's the problem. no one is saying with the clear video might reveal or why the bad video is too flawed for investigators to use. remember, the guards were apparently asleep and they wear report of the no other witnesser the ongoing investigation into epstein's death, the video is paramount and having unusable video would be sounded as yet another failure of the metropolitan correctional facility and the list there as long including a jail officials knowing that epstein was not to be left old alone and guards were failing to check him every 15 minutes. even though the medical examiner ruled his cause of death a suicide, lawyers are inducting an independent investigation. means and how we should notes 16 women who say they were sexually abused by jeffrey epstein appeared in court today calling him everything from a coward to a manipulator.

the criminal case against him is about to be closed, the civil cases go on. >> brian: amazing. thanks again. thanks for everything. thanks for both stories appeared meanwhile, here's tucker. >> in the aftermath of the mass shootings in el paso and dayton, the country scrambled justifiably to understand what might have motivated the killers. ideologies seems like an obvious reason and we picked that apart at some length. but could it be just part of the answer? the toxicology report on the date and shoot her for example reveal that he had several drugs in his system including cocaine and xanax. he was also known to be a long-time user of marijuana. it turns out in fact that many violent individuals have been avid marijuana users. is there a connection? now experience knows more about the subject than almost anyone in america. the truth about marijuana mental illness and violence, we are happy to have him tonight. alex, thanks a lot for coming o

on. what is -- we don't want to jump to any conclusions that aren't supported by evidence but what is the evidence that connects marijuana use to violence? >> we know that a large number, in the wake of the dayton killer and the information that came out about him having signs of mental illness and possibly being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a lot of people said -- a lot of people in the media said there's no connection between mental illness and violence. there is no real connection. people with mental illness are not really more likely to be violent than the rest of the population. that is not true. to say that is to just count what mental illness really is. if you include a lot of people who have certain mild depression you can say yes, that's true, but if you talk about people with severe mental illness, people with psychosis, schizophrenia, those illnesses unfortunately are highly linked to violence and they are fairly highly linked to extreme violence of the best studies which really come out of europe

show that as many as 20% of people who commit homicides have diagnosable psychotic disorders. and that appears to be the case in the u.s., too. so we know that mental illness accounts for an appreciable amount of the extreme violence not just in the united states but all over the world and we also know that cannabis can produce psychosis. drugs in general can produce psychosis but cannabis specifically. >> so, i don't think it's going away out on a limb to draw that connection between cannabis use and acts of violence. why is this not something that we are pursuing? >> what we are bad about addressing or even researching the causes of violence in the united states and often times drug induced crime gets lumped as domestic violence, gang violence, and unless you really spend a lot of time and money studying who has been using drugs and really the only place to do that is within the killers

of children, people who kill children, the stakes are supposed to spend time investigating what's because whether they were drug dealers and the states that have done the best research i found that cannabis use accounts for about one-third to 40% of the people who kill children in the united states. if that's true in texas, and florida, it's true in arizona which had three states that look at this data. so we know that cannabis use unfortunately is linked to a really disturbing amount of violence against children but for whatever reason, we haven't done the same research on adults and we just don't know but here's what i really want people to notice. at the idea that mental illness is not linked to extreme violence is not true. people who say it wish it weren't true and they think that by not saying it we are going to -- they fear if we said we we will

stigmatize people with mental illness. i'll tell you what does that. when people commit severe crimes and has reported and people know it. what we need to do is discuss what's really happening out there as we can discuss how to fix it. >> yeah, line doesn't help anybody the last question but we are in the middle of the deadliest drug epidemic in american history and drug use appears to be going up rather than down. what would be the reason that we are not studying this? >> you know, that's a good question. i think unfortunately there is a large portion of academia who believes that drug use can't be stopped and that we really shouldn't try to stop it. we should just try to reduce the harm which is funny because the better that we get at harm reduction or a needle sharing are all these programs that are supposed to help drug users, the more people die from drug use. i'm talking about opioids right now not cannabis. but culturally, we seem to have decided as a country we are not going to try to stop drug use and guess what question mike

when you don't try to stop it, it tends to rise. you really need societal discussion and, you know, i hesitate to say disapproval but disapproval of drug use and i will convince people that i shouldn't do this. i'm not talking about criminal sanctions but i'm talking about we are going to talk about this is a problem not as something that -- this is just something people do and what try to help them do it safely. it's because on a choice between staying denver or returning to prohibition. there are lots of stages. i say this every time you're on, you are a voice in the wilderness in this. history will vindicate you but in the meantime i'm grateful you're saying what you are. >> brian: meanwhile, we change gears. china's dictatorship, police and citizens within social credits corporate i'm not kidding. now silicon valley could be built in the same system for america. buller at larson has been woken up taking out of radio and asked to come right here to discuss it so don't move. ♪ run with us

>> brian: in china if the government decides it doesn't likely do or who you are you can be blacklisted from schools, jobs, planes, and dreams. i'm not kidding. when you're going tucker spoke to gordon chang about the system. watch. >> what we have in china is there so many people there of course the government wants to control them and so what they are doing as they are collecting data. they are collecting data from 600 million cameras that they have in place in 2020. they are going to have traffic checks, all of the rest of it. this is being rolled out and it's being rolled out very quickly. so for instance, you've got people who are not allowed to board planes and trains because their social credits car is far too low. >> brian: i'm not getting burned for example, if you have frivolous spending, they will work against you created smoking and a smoke free zone, that will cost you points. guess what, is coming to america courtesy of silicon valley.

brett larson says it's true and he is on fox news headlines 24/7. but, that is scary stuff in china. they are rolling in it out now hear what you mean it setting here? >> it's kind of already here. it when you think about it, we share a lot of personal information on facebook and we share when we are out having drinks with our friends, maybe we are on the beach, maybe having a fun vacation, got a sunburn. your health insurance company may be peeking through your social media profile and they may say all you got a sunburn i question mike well, you didn't put sunscreen on and that's negligence on your part so if you come to up with us with a net melanoma five years from now we'll say you aren't taking care of yourself so we will raise your premiums. we have predicate scores in the u.s. based on if you pay your bills on time, electric bill, all that stuff and that's acceptable but that's something you can look at, you can go in and if there is an area you can reach out to experian on transunion and say this isn't me, i'm not that brett larson. that is not my credit card or i

fix this problem, i close that account and they will fix it for you. the problem here is if your health insurance provider or a bar that you go to or airbnb or over a connects you with the wrong person, who do you go to to argue about that when they say hey, this guy name brett larson has been a problem on our b&b, we are not going to let you use our service question mike then you can't use airbnb. >> so you think this is not ringing now. so for example, you think it's totally logical that if an insurer wants to find out what kind of lifestyle you have, they can check your social media and they can figure that in instead of saying we sent you to the doctor and your blood pressure is fine, you have no history of disease and your family doesn't have it. >> right. imagine this. imagine your clients car insurance company says download our app, we will make it easier for you to pay. we will give you 5% off your bill if you pay it give it out. may be allowed to access your location while you are on their's way they can send you somewhat faster if you get an emergency.

they could also be tracking how fast you are driving because your phone has a gps, it has an accelerometer, they know where you are and how quickly you are traveling south your insurance company can come back and say hey, you know it, we have noticed you've been speeding, and in fact, you speed all the time when you are behind the wheel, we are going to raise your rates. do and so if you criticize the government or if your family members criticize the governmen, that could be used against you n china. now, we look at that and say thank goodness that's not us. would you say keep an eye out because it really gradually could be a scratch marks to go right. it could be a spirit and the problem and a lot of this stuff is we have this amazing document, the constitution, that protects us. we can say whatever we want about the government had but if something is tucked away and we didn't see that and that's being used against us are shared with other people, would we complain to? >> brian: cavemen didn't know how good they had it. it's unbelievable. hey, thanks brett. meanwhile, that's about it for us tonight. i want you to watch each night at 8:00 p.m., this core show

that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. tucker will be back tomorrow night but if you want to see me in prison, november 16th and san antonio, texas. fox and friends tomorrow, we have the manager of the little league winning team baseball team and studio as well as newt gingrich could have a great night everyone. here's the great sean hannity ready to go. >> sean: all right brian, thank you. welcome to "hannity." buckle up tonight. we are going to expose a shocking level of corruption surrounding sleepy creepy crazy uncle joe biden and members of his family. we are talking about new clams tonight of nepotism and possible influence. we will let you decide. it should make you sick to your stomach. how do all these people go into government and get so rich and their families get all these special deals with countries that they are governing and doing deals with? the hills don solomon, he will be here in a moment. he has a full reports. also, we have the very latest blunder from bernie sanders,
