sadly it has become a much less free country. power is radically concentrated in fewer hands than any time in the past hundred years, and the people who wield that power have no interest whatsoever in your right to say something that they disagree with. in fact, they are delighted to silence you have you tried. they are not embarrassed to admit that they do this. they don't pretend anymore. twitter openly purges users who has political views their executives don't like. twitter only exists because it's ceo is only a billionaire because twitter enjoys key exemptions from federal law. exemptions that you don't enjoy, and we don't enjoy a fox news. it has those exemptions, because congress carves them out for the big tech companies. and that means congress has the power to defend your free speech online. the white house does too. they have done nothing so far to help you. until yesterday twitter return the favor by leaving the

commander-in-chief's twitter feed alone. and then trump criticized mail-in voting. he said that they could be substantially fraudulent. it was a factual matter that is true, and we can prove it as we told you last night, mail-in ballots have been linked to numerous cases of election fraud. people have been convicted for it. so it is not up for debate. but this is an election year and mail-in voting is nowde the central objective of the democratic party, and so you are not supposed to know any of that. yesterday twitter placed a so-called fact-check on the president's tweet "trump falsely claimed that mail-in ballots would lead to rigged elections." there is no show at the fraud. given that as a factual matter, that is a lie. but worse than a lie, it is the form of political censorship. so who decided to do this? to censor it? there is the orwellian title

site of integrity, and irony free zone that they don't understand that the titles alone are scary, that means he is one of the company sensors. and not surprisingly, he is a political al activist. he compared kellyanne conway to the propaganda joseph goebbels. that same day he referred to the president's new staff against the white house as actual nonsense. and you can look at the twitter feed if you want assuming he has not pulled it down by now, so these are the people controlling what you are now allowed to think and say in america. they are authoritarian, but they are willing to censor the president they will think of nothing at all about censoring you. and they don't. they gladly do it. and nobody pushes back. traditionally that role, though role of pushing back against censorship was reserved for reporters. their job was to safeguard the first amendment which is designed to protect the week. not the strong, the week are protected by the freedom of t speech.

their readers and viewers. they weren't supposed to be simply thugs hired to protect the powerful but that's what they have become. watch don lamont of cnn who in his defense often has no idea what he's saying trying to bully twitter into censoring ideas they don't care for. >> twitter wouldn't remove those tweets. and they will not come on the show to let the disgusting smear stand. people have been removed from twitter forr far less outrageous behavior. come on, jack dorsey. >> stop hiding behind the first amendment for profit. stop doing it. do the right thing. >> tucker: stop hiding behind the first amendment says don lamont. in the cable news, that must be

the most unintentionally hilarious line ever uttered by a script reader. as if exercising your god-given right to speech and thought and conscience is somehow wrong. it's immoral. don lamont demands a stop thinking for yourself. get on board and obey, until the party line or we will hurt you, that's his message. that's a mirror image of what journalists should be saying. the only reason we have a free press, it's only one and that's to fight back against authoritarian power structures that demand we read from approved scripts. and now cnn is writing those scripts. it's terrifying. and now it is everywhere. throughout april and may, youtube took down any video that disputes the efficacy of global or authority guidance. if youic dare to question the decrees of the politicians, some of whom are impressive and wise, many of whom are done, and making up as they go along, they were censored. mark zuckerberg recently

explained why censorship is not bad, in fact, it saves lives. >> if someone is spreading something that puts people at imminent risk of physical harm, we take that down. we don't allow that on facebook. there are also other misinformation that may not lead to physical -- risk of physical harm, but is not the type of stuff you want to spread through the system. >> tucker: so this month facebook ad mounts to that it is expanding the effort, and the ps decide which ideas can be expressed in public and which must be thrown into the fireplace and forgot forever. you can imagine who is on the panel. a list of political activists and aggressive components of free speech. pamela karlan headlines the group. look her up when you have a minute. what you think she cares about more? safeguarding your sacred constitutional rights, or keeping donald trump from getting reelected in the fall? that is aha rhetorical question, you know theay answer.

brendan carr, fcc director who was following facebook censorship efforts. i'm not sure if you can answer, but it sticks in my carotid, so i can't control myself, why has no one done anything about creeping censorship in this country? they operate because congress allows them special exemption. why has congress done nothing, the white house done nothing to stop this? >> just tonight you see some reports that president trump is going to sign an executive order tomorrowow that will address soe of these issues. since the 2016 election, the far left has popped from hoax to hoax to hoax to try to explain the loss at the ballot box. they go after online platforms for the crime of being neutral in the 2016 election. and they are committed to making sure that the online platforms are not neutral again. as he laid out, we are seeing it on facebook with the oversight board and twitter with deciding to engage in political speech

against the president, and so, i think going forward if these entities want to be political actors, like you pointed out like every political actor they have first amendment rights. they should not have the special bonus protections that only that set up political actors have in section 2-30 that we have talked about. >> tucker: it is so infuriating that the congress has done nothing to protect the public from censorship. it is hard to express it outside. it is shameful in my view. how can you have a free and fair election when opinions are being aggressively censored to favor one side?id >> these are not fact checks, this is opinion journalism, they have decided, twitter, to engage the president of the united states with its own partisan political viewpoint and they have gone to congress' time and time again and represented that they don't engage in partisan political science, and' then we see conduct like this. anna raises another question

with 2-30 as we talked about, just a business practice, put aside the fact that they can choose to speak however you want. you can't have it both ways. you can't go to congress and say we g are neutral politically and engage in this conduct. this is an unfair or deceptive business practice that gets a lot of other companies under screen tv t including the federal trade commission. >> tucker: i'm thinking somebody in the senate of the united states were the white house can make a name for themselves by saving the country from the darkness of censorship. do you think, and i want to ask again very bluntly, can we have a fair election when all information throws to these choke hold's cannon pared by political parties? >> doing nothing at this point is not an option in my view. these companies have told us exactly what they are going to do which is engage in partisan political activity. you mention the board that has pamela karlan and a number of

political actors that have said that the 2016 election was an unacceptable political outcome. and tossing the keys to the facebook moderation of activists ahead of the 2020 election it is fair for the american public to step back and say i don't knowno if this one group of political actors should get benefits beyond the first amendment right that every political actor enjoys. >> tucker: they are too powerful to have it on democracy. they must be reined in. i think it is really clear now. thank you so much for coming on. great to see you tonight. >> i appreciate it, thank you. >> shannon: in response to the censorship efforts, earlier today the president we did this, the social media platforms silence conservative voices prayed we will regulate or close them down before we can never allow this to happen. we saw what they attempted to do and failed in 2016 paired we can't let a more sophisticated version happen again like we can't let large-scale mail-in ballots take root in our country, it would be cheating,

forgery, theft, ballot, clean up your act now. we will see if that happens. dana perino just had an interview with mark zuckerberg, that head and founder of facebook. and asked him to react to what the president just said. here was mark zuckerberg'se. response. >> he said that he is thinking of regulations or shutting down social media, what is your that?on to >> look, i would have to understand what they actually would intend to do, but in general i think a government choosing to censor a platform because they are worried about censorship does not exactly strike me as the right reflex. >> tucker: the full interview of mark zuckerberg by dana perino airs tomorrow, but for now dana perino joins us so low. thank you so much. so you just talk to mark zuckerberg. we are glad to have you.

was it your impression that he was concerned that the white house and federal trade commission, congress of the united states was ever going to do anything to prevent censorship? does he take it seriously, do you think? >> i definitely think that they take it seriously. and what i think at least for facebook, i have never had an opportunity to interview jack dorsey of twitter, they don't do any interviews at all. they are accountable to no one. mark zuckerberg today, i asked him a couple of things. one was specifically about twitter's decision to make its first attempt to fact-check the president on the mail-in ballot tweet, there are hundreds, if they were going to choose one, i don't know why they would choose that one, i think the first step out ofho the gate they fell on their face, because they were basically then fact-checked. so free speechen is working prey well. but what facebook has said is they will not weigh in on political speech.

now that is something that they instituted last fall. they stuck to it so far. the left actually is so frustrated with facebook. they think that they are evil. and so i think that when there is a threat about either antitrust actions by the justice department or the fcc, or if you look at something with the president talking about the executive order. i don't know all the details as was said will be released tomorrow, but i think that facebook and other tech companies know that washington is coming toto get them. they are trying to figure out ways where they added mike mcconnell, former judge who is al conservative guy, but they ae definitely taking a lot of heat for the oversight board, and there is a lot of confusion. how much will they weigh in? what is facebook's role going to be? eis this an entity that has more power than the company they have yet to figure all of that out.

but at least they are trying to figure out a way to make it look like it is more neutral. and the other thing about conservatives on facebook in particular, i say the president is on twitter, obviously, but conservatives and especially president trump found a way to best communicate on facebook as well and that ran rings around d the hillary clinton campaign in 2016. >> tucker: that won't happen again. if we say something liable on fox news, we can be sued for itt we are responsible for what airs on this channel. facebook, google, twitter, or not, they have an exemption from congress. a business advantage over every other media platform. why does congress not say, you can't censor people. you can become billionaires on the basis, but you are not allowed to censor, why is that hard? >> this is the section 2-30, i know you have talked about it on this program a lot. i do think that there will be a debate coming forward, so as washington is always far behind

when comes tolw legislation and new technologies. this has been true forever. and i think that this is true now as the companies have grown. they are trying to figure out a way to keep their companies, but also figure out a way to deal with washington. that is not an easy thing for them to do. at least he could talk about it. >> tucker: i'm glad in a way that the president was censored. our viewers get censored all the time and nobody cares. maybe now people will pay attention. thank you for that in the clip, we will watch tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. eastern. "the daily briefing." writers ripping through the city of minneapolis yesterday, you may not know, because according to cnn they were not writers, they were protesters seeking political justice, because that's what you do, you smash a police car window. it is insane and wrecking everything paired we will show you the tape after the break. ♪ bottom line is,

♪ >> tucker: rioters cutting aol path through their structure in minneapolis, after a video wente viral of a man dying in police custody. mike tobin has the latest on that story. >> it is a different scene out here outside of the third precinct in minneapolis. we have a pretty thick row of police with us. and here at the ready, you can see a bike patrol. they have the pepper spray at the ready and have been launching the pepper spray. here is your crowd of demonstrators off in the foreground who have been conflicting with police. you see the bottles here in the foreground. these are the bottles they have

been throwing at the police and chanting right now "i can't breathe." at the moment you see the column of police backing up. i want to point out some of their gear. you see the tasers, looking for the orange tubes that some of them are carrying, those are the teargas launchers. as you look up at the roof, you can see -- you can see that now. there are one of the flash bangs, and our group needs to be careful. so some of the flash bags arehe being deployed, primarily from the police on the rooftop. there is one aiming his tear gas launcher from the rooftop. there is another one at the ready. and the police are backing up, looks like they are trying not to conflict with the demonstrators. there is some teargas or pepper spray at the ready. in the demonstrators are advancing as the line a police

are backing up. the demonstration has the attention of president trump and the cause of it has the attention of president trump who tweeted "at my request the fbi and the department of justice are already well under the investigation that it is a very sad and very tragic death of george floyd." it seemed for a while the president's interest in the case and the fact that four of the police officers connected to the incident have been fired so swiftly by the minneapolis police department, but as you can see not everyone is satisfied. they want criminal charges and swift justice. and frankly, they want to express a lot of anger. yes, there are one of those flash banks. i am pretty close to it here. and there is some kind of chemical irritant, you see the pepper spray coming out from the police. i got the pepper spray in my eyes.

[coughing] so that is the scene out here. a lot of back-and-forth with the demonstrators and the cops. >> tucker: mike, we are going to let you breathe for a minute. we will keep the pictures. we are getting reports that there is looting and other parts of theet city. twe will come back to you a little bit from now. so as of tonight we know that george floyd died in police custody, the fbi launching an investigation. and when that is done we will know a lot more. it is possible at least one police officer will be criminal charged, just a guess, but seems llikely. those are the facts. here is another fact, what happen last night in minneapolis was not a political protest, it was a riot. [crowd noise] >> [bleep]! [bleep]!

[screaming] >> okay, don't hit the car. >> [bleep] it up! break that [bleep]! break that [bleep]! [bleep]! break that [bleep]! [screaming] >> tucker: so that is what rioting looks like. it happened last night and is happening right now. we want to be clear that we are not showing these pictures to defend the behavior on the police department. we are not. we are defending society itself. writing is the one thing that you don't want. ugly opinions, police brutality, a vicious bird watcher, rude entitled ladies walking their dogs, all of that is bad, but none of it is nearly as bad as

what you just saw. the indiscriminate use of violence by mobs is a threat to every american of all colors and backgrounds and political beliefs. riding is a form of tyranny. it's when the violent oppress the weak and the unarmed. cnn welcomes it and encourages it. on cnn, the rioters were protesters. >> breaking overnight, protesters flashing with police in minneapolis, calling for justice after the death of george floyd. i know it f has been a long nig, but police lined the streets throwing teargas and nonlethal projectiles to disperse crowds. after floods in the streets tuesday. >> through minneapolis and one other location, demanding more accountability and answers. >> tucker: it is hard to see how sinister those are.us

and we are often reminded that america is a diverse country. it only survives if they can exist peacefully. and everybody in america wants to coexist peacefully. but cnn does not want that. and that's why every day they work hard to defend racial resentment. that can't go on forever, because if it does, things will fall apart. it is veryin clear. the civil rights commission are joining us now. thank you for coming on. i can understand why people were upset by the tape of the man in minneapolis dying in police custody. but i'm wondering why you can't be upset by the tape and also say it is not acceptable to .riot. to >> the tape itself obviously, it appears inexcusable, defensible, horrific conduct. and is not unexpected that you itwould see this kind of behavi, mainly because to a large extent it is normalized over a number of years.

and we have some irresponsible political leadership and media folks who introduce certain elements that are notn in evidence to suggest that this is all stoked by racial animosity. reese may have been an issue here. maybe the cops were animated by race. but we don't have any evidence. we are political actors who are coming to conclusions that this is race-based. do you have the mayor of minneapolis, and a toughnd position, but he has to understand the incendiary nature of race in the country is going to stoke the flames of division and people will get hurt, property is going to get damaged and in many cases, the people who get hurt are the very individuals who come from the neighborhoods affected. >> tucker: if you cared about the country, he would say something like this seems awful, let's wait for all the facts. if it turns out that there is a racial component, we are very against that, of course. why would people intentionally stoke? >> we see this on a regular

basis, they think there is an advantage to doing so. so you have the mayor making comments, and senator klobuchar tweeting that this is a matter of race, and vice president biden saying that this is, i think that he use the term that it is part of systemic injustice. without any evidence. and the investigation may reveal that, who knows, but there has investigation done yet, so the department of justice, my commissioner will look at it. if it is a matter of race, they will be in a difficult, difficult shape, but because of opportunism what you see our riots, we saw this with michael brown, freddie gray, people get killed. people get hurt. billions of dollars in property damage all to forward aal political agenda. mostly to forward a political agenda. there is a process that we have, due process that will judge in due time. and it is a horrific

circumstance. i think we have the faculties to remedy this circumstance, but not if we have political actors to fan the flames. >> tucker: exactly, how is ferguson today? they don't care. was it made better by that? >> no, it wasn't. it does not happen. >> tucker: totally right, but they don't care. thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: there is a lot going on in minneapolis still, more than we realize when weti went live to mike tobin. so we will keep those live pictures and we may go back there for a report at the end of this hour. so increasingly american business owners are stepping up to reclaim their livelihood. up next we will talk to a north carolina business owner who is suing the state's governor for it the right to do that. up next. ♪

>> tucker: america's political leaders continue in other places to impose lockdowns. to some extreme on the public well after long after scientific evidence has accumulated to show tpretty conclusively that they don't work very well. but politicians are in no hurry to get back to normal and give up the power they have accrued. their livelihoods are saved by taxpayers. they are ignoring the rules they enforce themselves, and they enjoy that. last night on cnn, andrew cuomoe who has a show they are shamed americans for daring to step outside without a mask.

>> nearly 100,000 americans dead and this president is playing games over joe biden wearing a mask, not to mention millions of other americans doing the same. how about the clowns who are ready to double down on the death toll because they want to get the party gone for the holidays. i can show you example after example after example of people acting like fools. not just not having any sense for their own safety, but the safety of others. do you want to wear a mask, no? but isn't that big of a deal? not really. >> tucker: so you are a moral if you don't wear a mask. but the funny thing is that the weight lifting correspondent you just saw was not wearingn' a mak of his own when he was screaming at a cyclist last month. and he was infected. said, don't you have the coronavirus? shouldn't you be quarantined? and i think his next words were what the hell do you know about

this? what do you know about rules? and i said you are not supposed to be out here. nobody had gloves on. nobody had masks on. >> tucker: we aired that on tv. it is widely known that that guy was not wearing a mask and he had the coronavirus. it's weird that he is lecturing other people about it. would you be able to do that? and then there is governor gretchen whitmer of michigan. before memorial day he should she ordered citizens not to vacation in the traverse city area. >> memorial day weekend, we know that people like to go north, but the small spike could put some people in dire straits pretty quickly. why we areisely asking everyone to do their part. don't just send on traverse city from all regions of the state. >> tucker: yeah, don't go to traverse city, it is dangerous. and that's almost the moment to that governor whitmer was saying

that, the husband was using the fact that he was married to her to pressure a small business into putting the families vote in the water ahead of the holidays. now whitmer denied to that happen. she called it a hoax. then she was exposed. it was obviously real. now she says it was a bad joke. but it was not a hoax, and it was not a joke. it was pure repulsive parker c. and the whitmers were not alone in committing that. took a weeks go the governor striking down the lockdown, rebecca dallas said wisconsinites will pay the price for going outside! she did not mean it. none of them mean it, we know because over memorial day, that same person, dallas went boating with at least four friends, not wearing a mask, not social distancing. oh, lockdown for the, but not for me. since they won't give americans their rights back, it falls to other americans to reclaim them. owning patriot acts throwing a

north carolina and suing the governor of of that state over and imposing a state lockdown. gentlemen, welcome to the show. mike, let me ask you first, you have been closed because of this lockdown, why are you reopening? why do you think that you can and should reopen? >> we are reopening because we have lost so much revenue that we are going to either have to close the business for good or reopen the doors and kind of face the consequences. so that is the reason that we have gone forward and decided to reopen, and start trying to serve our patrons that we have. >> tucker: you have no choices what you're saying. to the governor sounds like driving you out of business. >> yes, sir. and that is the main issue here

is that we have a governor in north carolina that is wanting to be the king here, and we can't just let that stand. you know, i served in the united states army for ten years and i have two deployments tond afghanistan. and what is funny about all of this is that the government trusted me enough that they will allow you to fly a multimillion dollar aircraft with 15 people in the back, but they don't trust me enough to operate my business safely in north carolina. and at the end of the day, i am not being allowed to provide for my family and make a living. >> tucker: your business looks a lot safer than an abortion clinic. so let me ask you, on what legal grounds are you challenging the lockdown? >> well, governor cooper has issued some wide range for reaching executive orders. and executive orders that legislate or make law rather

than merely enforcing law are unconstitutional. m and it is a fundamental precept in recreational democracy that there is a separation of powers. and that the legislative branch is the one that makes the law and the executive branch, and here in this case for the governor that they want to enforce the law. governor cooper is using emergency powers to declare a state of emergency. and there is no criteria or qualification or even definition of what a state of emergency is. so any elected governor can call a state of emergency in their discretion arbitrarily, and it can have such wide range as we see in mike's case affects on businesses and livelihoods and harm people. with the scope of what it can do, what a governor can do just on their own. and then it can last indefinitely. only when the governor says that

there is no longer a state of emergency with no checks on that decision, can -- will it end. and it is just the framers never intended for any one person to have such immense power over the lives and liberties of others. >> tucker: there is no constitutional god law where they can lame to do whatever they want forever. so mike, thank you for coming on. and acts throwing a business has to be the coolest kind of business. >> yes, sir, thank you. >> tucker: 40 million americans are out of work thanks to the lockdown. in the midst of that, nine republican senators are fighting to bring in even more foreign workers intoht the country to te scarce jobs. we will name who they are and show you their pictures. plus the maritimes colonist a melting down completely on msnbc's business network. and says a lot about the

♪ >> tucker: if you have not seen nbc's business channel in a while, and it is okay that you haven't, you have no for an idea how far left it has gone, covering financial markets, but there is a new activist management and the woke fringe of where they are headed. the man they hope will take them there is andrew ross sorkin. he is the shameless corporate shill and a progressive rich guy

prayed he has the most predictable views on everything. last year for example he demanded the credit card companies punish gunowners for the dash he has also been hysterical, consistently wrong about the lockdown's now wrecking the country. this morning he had the following exchange with the cnbc cohost joe kernan. in case you have never seen the show before coming he is the screechy one. >> you panicked about the market, panicked about the ventilators. panicked about ppd. panicked about ever going out again. >> and you did not act normal. you did not panic about anything. >> what good is it? >> 100,000 people died! , and all you did was try to help your friend, the president! that's what you did. every single moment on this show. every single morning on the sh show. you have used and abused your position, joe.

ouyou have used and abused your position. >> i'm trying to have investors keep their heads, and as it turned out, that's what they should have done. >> now you are arguing to sell your stocks, joseph. i was arguing about people's lives. >> we understand, andrew. >> i am begging you to do the news! >> tucker: watch that again online, it is a fascinating colloquy. so he is mad by sorkin's wrong predictions. so not by defending his own position, he does not want to do that, so he invokes donald trump, and then attacks joe kernan personally, and then he patronize as joe kernan like he has already won the argument and it is not even worth debating somebody that dumb. do the news, joe, waving his tiny hand. does that seem look familiar to you? of course it does pray to sorkin as a stand-in for every

incompetent, entitled liberal wo runs the country at every level. confront them with their mistakes and they attack you, and then chew you away, every time. no wonder anything ever gets better. so thanks to the chinese style mass quarantines, our leaders adopted 40 million americans have lost their jobs. that's more unemployed than in any time in american history, including the great depression. this is a crisis. it is as profound and dangerous a crisis as any war we have ever fought. god help us if we don't fix it soon. finding work for americans has to be the top priority. thankfully there is something we can do to help right away. a huge number of american jobs are occupied by foreign nationals, and not just the seasonal lettuce picking we heard so much about. the fabled jobs that americans just won't do. but also many jobs that americans will be thrilled to do and have come a white collar jobs, that your kids studied for in college but can't get because some big company would rather

pay foreigners a cheaper wage. that is happening all over this country and has been for years. it is legal because congress made it legalec through age onev sows and other worker program spread there a lot of them. if there was ever a time to utter the moral outrage that hurts america, that is right now s,when the future of the nation depends on getting americans back to work. but amazingly many in congress disagree. today nine republican senators sent a letter to the president demanding to continue to allow foreigners to take american jobs. those senators in order to increase the well-deserved shame were putting their pictures on the screen right there. those senators are lindsey graham of south carolina, john cornyn of texas, james rich and mike crapo of idaho, lisa murkowski, dan sullivan of alaska, james lankford, and todd young of indiana. their letter, the one that they signed calls for the president to impose no limitations at all

on h2 a or h-2b guessed to be says. allowing foreigners to stream into the country and take jobs. this is not about migrant workers picking grapes in the central valley in the hot sun. the senators would like to see foreign doctors, physicians, dentists, cyber security experts, and many other categories of white-collar workers, too. no shortage of americans desperate to do these jobs. so many of the doctors and dentists for example are not working right now. but don't worry, said the senators. all the americans are getting generous unemployment benefits. so at this point we want to be clear about something. not all of these nine senators are bad people. we know and even like some of them, lankford, nice guy. but we are fervently rooting for their defeat anyway. we are hoping that the next republican primary, all nine of the people you are looking at right now will be defeated and replaced by people who care about unemployed americans.

that is the very least we can expect and we should demand it again andd again. riots and looting are ripping apart to minneapolis at this hour. unexpected, uncovered, but is happening. we will be joined by another reporter on the scene right after the break. ♪ that fuel 5 indicators of brain performance. memory, focus, accuracy, learning, and concentration. try neuriva for 30 days and see the difference.

at one point, it started when they bash kind of a window by the front door and i guess they unlocked the door and everybody rolled in. they looked inside the store, look like people were simply shopping and they had out with carts full of goods from inside the store like it was no big deal. this went on for a very long time. no police anywhere. probably about 30-40 minutes into it, i've been tweeting about it. a couple of deputies rolled up and left. the looting continued. i really have not seen anything like it, at least not in minneapolis. >> tucker: where they shouting political slogans or saying they wanted answers or did they just want tvs? >> they just wanted to steal. it appears they were stealing. there were no political anything going on there at the target, a short step away at the third precinct, yes, there were plenty

of chants and shouting and police were continuing to fire rubber bullets and tear gas on that side of things. there were two separate things going on at the same time. >> tucker: amazing video. thanks for joining us tonight. appreciate it. we last talked to mike tobin, he got hit with some cs gas. hey, mike. >> taking a look around the area, talk about looting, this barricade they've erected in the middle of the street is primarily made up of grocery carts from target, garbage cans, whatever you have.ro they are chanting off in the distance in the lot of people behind the barricade, doesn't seem to have much in a strategic advantage, but there are the people chanting "george floyd" right now. some off the people out in this crowd are armed and we look over here at the police, and some right there with the helmets, the gas masks oncoming you can also see the third precinct here, how broken up it is. thee door boarded up, that's our
