5:00 pm
speak to that is the story of tuesday june 2nd and the story continues. those don't ask so does our hope and faith and we will see you tomorrow, everybody, have a good one. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." first they smashed the windows of police cars and our leader said nothing. it is a political protest, they told us. we stand with the protesters. before long, a group of mobs men formed in the street and they were intent on violence but know when in authority dare criticize them. we understand their frustration. america is a simple country. their grievances are legitimate. so the mobs grew larger and they grew emboldened.
5:01 pm
last thursday, they come to the front door of the police prince in minneapolis. the cops inside fled under orders of the mayor appear the mob burned the building but before they did, they alluded the evidence room and assured violent crimes will never be solved. they did this in the name of justice. still our leaders did nothing. most of them never even mentioned it like it never happened. instead, they issued more statements in solidarity with the mob. politicians, corporate leaders, clergy, news anchors professional athletes in almost every person in this country that we were raid to raised with from childhood to respect and listen to all of them side with the people burning police stations. the mob saw this and grew stronger. last night they began shooting cops. for 38 years, david doran was a police officer in the city of st. louis. no one ever accused him of racism. he was black. he is dead now.
5:02 pm
he was murdered last night by the mob. his killing was streamed live on facebook. and the violence accelerated from there. in st. louis alone four whether active duty police officers were shot last night. in vegas and officer took a bullet in the head and he still in critical condition. once the sun went down, cops all around the country found themselves under attack. [bleep] [bleep] [screaming] [bleep] >> tucker: did you watch that? how many more nights like this can we take? how many more nights like this before no one in america will serve as a police officer. it's not worth it.
5:03 pm
the people in charge hate you. the job doesn't pay enough. at that point, who will enforce the laws? who will be in charge? well, violent young men with guns will be in charge. they will make the rules, including the rules in your neighborhood. they will do what they want. you will do what they say. no one will stop them. you will not want to live here when that happens. chaos is the worst thing always. wise leaders understand that. it is obvious, but it is not obvious to joe biden. he gave his speech in philadelphia and it was different from the bite men of. the champion of ordinary people, but no longer an intraday speech, joe biden said nothing to defend police officers being murdered but instead he attacked them as systemic racism. >> the moment has come for our
5:04 pm
nation to deal with systemic racism, to do the growing economic inequity that exist in the nation, to deal with the denial of a promise in this nation. our country is crying out for leadership. leadership that can unite us, leadership that can bring us together. leadership that can recognize pain and deep grief of communities that have had a knee on their neck for a long time. >> tucker: the moment has come, says joe biden. this is the moment. so the question is, how did murder -- murdering david make it -- no one explains that but e staff continued to send to send money to the rioters. the city of seattle, tammy all but endorsed the destruction of her own city. >> what i don't want to hear is for eric and our constituents to be told to be simple, not to be reactionary, to be told that looting doesn't solve anything.
5:05 pm
and you know, it does make me wonder and ask the question, why looting fathers people so much more than knowing across the country black men and women are dying every day and far too often at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve. >> tucker: fluting dose all things. how dare you criticize them. and prosecutors exist to push back against violations of the law and across the country. many prosecutors seem on board were to member ellis and joe biden. a local report says the district of attorney said refusing to process rioters and they will automatically be free to write it again. in massachusetts the state attorney general maura healy a part of the rights and did it explicitly. she described the killing and looting as "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, yes, america is burning, but that is how forrest grows that is a verdict don't
5:06 pm
make verbatim quote from the law officer of massachusetts. she is happy to see american society become mulch. it makes good fertilizer. the press isn't simply covering the rioting, but insisting the riots. "the new york times" the most recent pulitzer prize and 2020 said words you thought you knew the meaning of now have completely different meaning. violence, for example and she supports it isn't really violence. >> violence is when an agent of the state kneels on a man's neck until all of the life is out of his body. destroying property which can be replaced is not violence. and to put those things, to use the exact same language to describe those two things come i think really is not moral. >> tucker: violence is not
5:07 pm
violence if i approve of it you're the person you were just listening to one the pulitzer prize. there was something wrong with the system if that is the person who gets the biggest merit. but i guide for writers included tips like this were nondescript clothing, don't take photograp photographs. cnn didn't criticize it. they were on board. watch this from over the weekend. >> it is so remarkable to see military style vehicles rolling through the white house complex, you know, just not something you normally see in the united states of america. it is something you see in more authoritarian companies. >> open your eyes america. we are teetering on a dictatorship. this is chaos. has the president come i'm listening has the president declared war on americans? i hope they stand up and fight with their rights. now the country and according to his orders, we are living under
5:08 pm
a militarized country and playing a dangerous game, because this will backfire. >> tucker: it is dangerous when we try to stop looting and burning and killing. i hope they stand up and fight, he says for the safety of the television studio. what exactly are they fighting for? they certainly are fighting but why? don't ask them, something about trump probably. what does "black lives matter" say? go to their website. here is a post from three days ago "defund the police. that is the position of "black lives matter," the most popular group in america among corporate leaders. defund the police. no more cops. that is what they are fighting for. that seems like a position but the democratic party, the congresswoman has endorsed it and so has jane fonda in so many celebrities and they said so women recent open letter. three days ago "the new york times" published a
5:09 pm
piece making the same demand "no more money for the police." no police, that is right there article calls for the elimination of all cops and all prisons in the united states. so if we did that, who would keep order? "the new york times" has an answer to that "rapid response social workers would keep the peace. alternative emergency response programs. that is their plan." if you live in a gated community and might sound like a good idea. you have your own police force. you have no plans to replace them with rapid response social workers. you are set no matter what. there will be no rate on your street but what will happen to them? don lamon and rashida tlaib don't care at all. your neighborhood is not their problem here they are in a for the revolution, and make no mistake it is a revolution from above and downward. this is the only revolution in the history that is being waged
5:10 pm
not on behalf of the working class, but against it. young fox senior analyst joins us tonight. simple question, the landscape hearing people you've covered four years and say things you never expect them to say. when this is all over and god willing it will be, can we put it all back together again? normal politics after this. >> we haven't seen that in a time soon and we haven't had a normal media for a time now. that we certainly don't have the democratic party we used to know and moved ever farther to the left. it is truly out there where the buses don't run with prominent democratic party spokespeople saying the things they are singing, citing evidence they clearly have with the protesters even violent and looting. joe biden speak today was a perfect example. he had about two sentences and that speech in which he expressed disapproval of the violence. all of the rest of it was the
5:11 pm
same grievance, black grievance politics we have been hearing for decades now. it was absolutely boilerplate dressed up in some well done rhetoric. but that is really what it was. you would never know that listening to biden speak it wasn't 968 and civil rights legislation, you would never know that it never passed. countless blacks moved into the middle class. we would never know any of that, that racial progress has been extraordinary in this country. has any country tried harder to write the racial wrongs that this country has? if it has come i would like to know which it is because i don't know that is the case. we have fought a civil war and lives given to slavery, people have shed blood since then. we have tried hard as a nation. there was one more thing, tucker worth adding. is there a controversy here over the death of this man in minneapolis? there is no controversy. a week ago or so, americans were
5:12 pm
totally united appeared it was a hideous scene with a cop and hin that man's neck and him dying. the public was universal. nobody defended that. you wouldn't know that. people in the streets to say nobody wants more of this. the country was united. now, we have seen these hideous scenes of destruction, please shout out, as you pointed out one has died. in the leaders on the left, at least, give no sign of what is disturbing about that. >> tucker: minneapolis that death was not the fault of the system but many come around the world because the system is the best in the world. to attack our country over that is beyond ridiculous. the mayor of new york de blasio's at the national guard doesn't need to come to new york because new york doesn't need the help. so what is happening in new york right now? on the ground in manhattan and joins us tonight bryan llenas, what is it like?
5:13 pm
>> tucker, good evening. it is a far different situation than last night. you can see multiple police vehicles lined up. last night they had to be moving all over the place from looting. over here, you have businesses boarded up and ready. that was not the case last night with all of these businesses. if you look down here on madison avenue, it is completely empty. last night so different. we were seeing groups of looters, sometimes hundreds moving through the city. we were listening on the police scanner and there were fires all over the place in terms of looting. it was intersection after intersection after intersection from store to store in the middle of new york city. it was something unlike anything we have ever heard before. and i had never heard that before. the police officers were being injured, hurt, deep in the bronx, some shot at and another hit by a vehicle. all in all comeaux nypd said there were 500 arrests for theft, looting last night.
5:14 pm
the nypd says those arrests, those arrested for burglary, most if not all will be released because of the cities bail reform laws, tucker. >> tucker: loot macy's and get out the next day. great to see you. kevin corke is outside of the white house in the nation's capital and another tense evening is expected in washington. we go to kevin now, hey, kevin. >> tucker come i hope you can hear me. we are actually at the location just to the east of the white house. i'm going to let him take a shot of the street. this was actually blocked out for the protesters were headed directly east from lafayette park. for the folks that are unaware, this is just along the north perimeter of the white house. so we got in a van with our colleague, dave, he drove us
5:15 pm
over here to around 12. our anticipation and our thought was we can get ahead of the protesters as they march through this area. we will get back in the van because they splintered. so i promise to bring you more pictures but i can tell you earlier in the day it was quite the scene north of the white house. we do have those pictures. i can tell you, it was quite a sight to see. a huge crowd come a big gathering there. you saw the big fence line along the north of lafayette square. lafayette park, pardon me. that was really to keep it out of the park. so we saw probably a couple thousand people all crammed into a relatively small area. again, mostly peaceful, lots of chance but that was about it. no damage. i can tell you also there have been some arrest near the capital today. you do know that with so many streets corn -- corned off they will be in a bit of a jam is a work in the streets beyond the streets and you see the streets are
5:16 pm
empty but for now, back to you. >> tucker: kevin corke for us in washington, d.c. now to los angeles, joining us now tonight, are you there? >> tucker, we are and van 9 in los angeles county. we are inside a bank that is boarded up this afternoon. there are a lot of businesses doing the same as a preventive measure because it is a tale of two different protest. while you have some protesting in the name of george floyd a number of people are going through various cities within los angeles county, going into business is taking out of those businesses. while that is a smaller group of people, they do have a heavy impact on the county. the police have been trying to figure out how to handle the situation because people have a right to peacefully protest, but when you are seeing people loot throughout stores, they are trying to figure out a way to restore order.
5:17 pm
last night we saw them working with the national guard and really enforcing the curfew to make sure that people return to their homes. and it was starting to work. i should mention that so far today, it has been calm and peaceful in los angeles county with hundreds of people peacefully protesting for george floyd and the hundreds of other names they believe have had police brutality and racism. but we will keep watch because we noticed in hollywood, some people are possibly breaking into stores, i will send it back to you, tucker. >> tucker: unbelievable, curfews and some parts of los angeles today, 1:00 p.m. you have heard a lot recently about something called systemic racism. also no one ever bothers to explain what systemic racism is but they make it very clear, you are personally -- personally implicated in it. ask yourself and be honest, have you ever mistreated somebody because of race? if you have, you should atone
5:18 pm
for it. you ought to find the person you're wrong and do your best to make it better. but if you haven't done that, if you haven't mistreated an actual person, you should know that none of this applies to you. being born a certain color does not make you guilty of a crime. in this country, we explicitly reject the idea of collective punishment. we don't believe in blood guilt. we don't hurt people because of what their ancestors did. we don't hold entire racial groups responsible for anything. a group of people cannot be innocent or guilty, only individuals can be because only individuals can make free choices. just because you happen to be standing and a liquor store when it got robbed doesn't make you an armed robber. that truth is the entire basis of western justice. it is the one thing we should never abandon in this country. so if you want to work for racial justice and you should want it, demand equal application of the law. if a law applies to one americ
5:19 pm
american, it must apply to all americans. that is always true whether it is a federal perjury statute or the law against looting macy's. several demand special privileges are inherent and they corrupt society and crowed social trust. giving people a pass because of who they are is not an act of compassion. it is the definition of injustice. it hurts everyone, including the people receiving the past. if you let a kid walk away without charges from a drunk driving accident because his parents are rich, you are not helping the kid. although a lot of court kids still shoes be from a nike store, that does not help them either. if you raised your own children like that, you would screw them up forever. that does not mean they are not systemic injustices and society, there are. there certainly have been in history, slavery was the worst of them. treating human beings like objects is always the worst thing. it still happens today, in fact,
5:20 pm
and new forms. but as this moment, june 2020, racism will definitely exist, but it's hardly the only problem we face. why do they keep telling you it is? why do you think? because telling you that benefits them. it is a cover. it is a diversion to protect the people from getting rich from the biggest scams of all. america's core problems are in fact economic. can your kids earn enough to perk -- formed stable families have their own and live in dignity? that's what most americans of all color worry about most so of course it is the one thing the leaders hate to talk about. that is not accidental. it is by design. what what you are watching is disguised as race war. the population at one another's throats angry, suspicious, tribal and ever figure out how much we are stealing. the biggest change to american society over the past 50 years has been the death of the middle
5:21 pm
class. this used to be the middle-class country. it is not anymore. most of the population has become poor in real terms. a shrinking number of people controlling every expanding percentage of the wealth. that means that fewer americans overall have a meaningful stake in society and more are dependent. that makes the country much more volatile than it once was. these riots really shouldn't surprise you. it is hard to know exactly who is responsible for the sad changes to america, but it is easy to see who is benefiting from them here they are the same people lecturing you about white privilege and systemic racism. this isn't accidental. citibank is happy to put black lives matter logos on their instagram page precisely so you won't ask what interest rates they are charging black people. if you really cared about the poor, you wouldn't crush them with debt they can't afford to. of course if you really cared about black lives, you wouldn't put abortion clinics in black
5:22 pm
neighborhoods but they do. these people are scam artists. they are playing you. keep that mind and the next time they told you you may hate your neighbor which is exactly what they are telling you. police station on fire and shop owners beaten in their own stores. the destruction of an entire city block. the media, the democratic party itself, this is all defenses. defensible, heroic in the modern man of the civil rights movement. a pop was actually a part of the civil rights movement, the original one and he joins us now to assess to what we are seeing on television. thank you so much for coming on tonight. i would just throw it to you. >> pleased to be here, tucker. >> tucker: thank you. what do you make of this? >> tucker, what you are saying is being a class of the civil rights movement, one of the great promises that we gave to low income blacks is that if you were to elect blacks to public
5:23 pm
office through voting rights act, and we were running those institutions, that all black america would be better off. in the past 50 years, $22 trillion has been spent for the poverty program. 70 percent doesn't go to the poor but many of those people taking office use this money to create a class of people who are running these cities and now after 50 years of liberal democrats running the inner cities where we have all of these inequities that we have here, rates is being used as a ruth's come as a means of deflecting attention away from critical questions such as why our poor blacks failing and systems ran by their own people if race was the issue, even if it is a criminal justice system? if we continue to look at life through a racial prism when eva wears a black face, it will escape detection and therefore
5:24 pm
correction. >> tucker: but how damaging is it to our society for leaders to effectively incite racial division and hatred in order to cover their own failures? that seems like a reckless thing to do. >> it is worse. when you have low income people and people like in the philip section of minneapolis. and these are ethnic neighborhoods, business centers, that have been wiped out. people cannot get to the stores now. and they are crying out. and they are saying when everyone goes home and the cameras are gone and the civil rights celebrities have done what they have done, low income people are the ones who are suffering and already. they will continue to suffer. that is why we must confront
5:25 pm
this and we must be racial lies race, and we must desegregate poverty. and that is what the woodson center is committed to do, to work with the least of god's children to give them an opportunity to create solutions from the bottom up. but it is not race. i don't know what systemic racism is. maybe it is someone that can explain what it means. >> tucker: it is a way to make people be quiet and stop asking questions about economics as far as i can tell. i have to ask you, since you have been in full for 50 years as you just said and you were involved in the original civil rights movement, how does it feel to look back at the original goals of the movement and to see people like chongqing use the phrase civil rights act in reference to himself? is that bewildering to you? >> it is bewildering and painful because i left the movement because i realized that many of the people who suffered most from a poor blacks did not benefit from the change. that they are demographics was
5:26 pm
used by some of those leaders. it's more class than it is race. and so they use that and now race is being used to deflect attention away from the failures of people running those institutions. the question is why our black kids failing in school systems run by their own people? when eric holder was a u.s. attorney in washington, d.c., a lot of people were shot by the police, but they were black police shooting black kids and not one was prosecuted. but there was no public outcry because the illegality or evil wears a black face, then it escapes detection pier that is what is wrong with looking life through the prism of race. >> tucker: it doesn't make anybody better, that is for sure. why do you think corporate america, so many of our biggest and most profitable companies have jumped and so aggressively on the side of
5:27 pm
"black lives matter" for example? >> welcome i think it is white guilt. and it is really white guilt, and also it is an easy out. there are two people that i think are destroying this country. and that is guilty white people and angry, rich, entitled blac blacks. who continued to play the race card and then they don't have to live with the consequences of their advocacy. when they are talking about the worst thing that can happen with the police right now, it is very ironic that as police know implications a car and they don't patrol in those communities, the murder rate goes up. >> tucker: of course. >> so actually, when these middle-class people who live in safe communities are bill and i used with the police -- bill and iced with the police and the low
5:28 pm
income people and the murder rate goes up, that same study you quoted from harvard documented the fact that the police nullification results, less of me, more black on black crime, more black on black deaths. poor people are being hustled by these middle-class politicians and being bamboozled, scammed, hoodwinked, and one day that sleeping giant will wake up and understand who the real corporate -- culprit is. people who look like them who are failing to use their positions to profit the least of god's children. instead, they are using it to benefit themselves and their own group. >> tucker: you are telling a very sad story, bob woodson. thank you for coming on tonight. good to see you. >> thank you. >> tucker: the press are telling you none of this is happening. the riots aren't real. local leaders don't have the luxury of believing they are not happening.
5:29 pm
because they are living with it in real time. the mayor of miami-dade california joins us with what he's done to stop rioting. we will be right back. ♪ bottom line is,

5:34 pm
>> tucker: in place, los angeles, washington, new york and countless american cities, looting and destruction have continued day after day because authorities have allowed it to continue day after day. but in miami, things seem to come under control quickly. stores were ransacked saturday night, cars were burned but since then miami has been calm. seem to be generally peaceful rather than most don't sleep peaceful. the mayor of miami-dade, florida, joins us to say what he did differently. mr. mayor, and such. you have watched all of these cities around the country. yours has not been.
5:35 pm
what is the difference? >> well, the differences we are embedded in the community. the community does not want to see what has happened in minneapolis and those other cities. and so and we have outsiders, we know they are here. we also have a strict guideline parameters and borders and we will protect your right to protest, but we will not protect your right to ransacked and loot and set buildings on fire and put lives in danger. that we will not do. we will come down hard on that. that is what will be done here in miami. but again, it is a community effort. we have had a lot of cooperation with our community here. a lot of good communications. we have been embedded in the community for a long time. they trust us. they don't want outsiders agitating them in destroying this beautiful city, which we have built. >> tucker: good for you. you are saying what mirrors,
5:36 pm
republican and democrat have initially said what since mayord any mayor say that. you're one of the few to say you can protest but you can't destroy you. why do you think that is? >> i don't know, may be because i'm a firefighter. and during the 1980s, we had big riots here in 1980. and the mcduffie riots. and i was a part of that spirit and actually was writing with the police. look back on my city. and i pledge to them if i had anything to do with it in the future, things would be different. we have made great strides in miami-dade county. we've still got a long way to go. we have tried and been fairly successful in lifting people up economically and the unemployment rate, covid-19 pandemic hits 1.8%. we would go into the communities, high employment communities with people from the community to knock on their doors and say hey, we can train
5:37 pm
you, give you a job in culinary arts, hospitality and get you out of poverty and give you a good quality of life. everybody wants the same thing. we all want to good quality of life and raise our kids, put food on the table, and when we go outside, we want to make sure it is safe and that you're not afraid to walk outside in your neighborhood. everybody wants that. the good thing about miami-dade, we are all together in this. it is a very diverse community, but we've had good communications. we still have a long way to go but we are getting there. >> tucker: amazing. amazing that you are saying temple, true things are not embarrassed about it. good for you. mr. mayor, thank you for coming on tonight. the one new york by contract is a disaster as plainly as we can say it. andrew cuomo the governor and the mayor of new york might be the most exciting competition to take place.
5:38 pm
and governor cuomo to mentor policies on nursing homes help with thousands of new yorkers. now they are the blauzeeyo came through macy's, wrecked it and today, bill de blasio refused to consider the idea of bringing on that national guard to bring in the city, the situation is so bad in new york that governor cuomo attacked de blasio and said he might invoke a new york law allowing him to remove bill de blasio from power. and involved in running the city for many, many years and former police commissioner of new york. he joins us. thank you for joining us in coming on. what do you make of this? >> well, look, i have who have incompetence on the behalf of the mayor. better listen to the governors comments talking about the nypd. he specifically criticized the nypd.
5:39 pm
well if the nypd was not doing their job than the mayor is not doing his job, the new york city is burning. where are you? where is the new york state police? >> tucker: exactly. >> why weren't you involved in the beginning? what are you doing other than talking? this isn't a competition for criticism. we already know they are de blasio is incompetent, in my opinion. we know he has a super left-wing radical. we know he sympathizes with a number of these protesters, antifa and all this other stuff. look, i'm all for peaceful protesting, but the second peaceful protesting becomes violence, the second, the protest is over. everybody has got to go. the law enforcement, the police department has to do everything in their power to move them or lock them up. >> tucker: so one of the reasons that andrew cuomo attacked the nypd is because every democrat believes and now
5:40 pm
says out loud that police are racist. they are instruments of systemic racism of white privilege of white supremacy. is that you ran the nypd and you see the numbers and you know the reality. is that true? >> you know what, tucker my will get you a set of numbers that the mainstream media refuses to listen to her look at. and these are numbers that come out of the fbi uniform crime report and "the washington post." last year, there were 10 million arrests in the united states. 10 million. out of 10 million arrests, police officers were involved in fatal shootings 1,004 times. 1,004 times. 41 of those were unarmed people. the police shot unarmed people. if you listen to the rhetoric, every one of those people were black. you know what? that is a lie. that is completely false.
5:41 pm
it is not true. 19 white people unarmed were shot and killed by the police last year. nine, nine were black. 19 whites, nine were black. you know what? everybody is talking about the blacks that were unarmed and killed by the police, that number is systemic. it is outrageous! it is insane! there were an 89 cops killed in this country in the line of duty last year. nobody is talking about them. nobody is talking about the 82 people that were shot in chicago last weekend in 48 hours, 19 dad to come 82 people shot, 19 dead in chicago. baghdad didn't have that many. >> tucker: it's unbelievable. those are the facts that you would think news organization would inform their viewers of the facts because that is their obligation. thank you so much for joining us tonight. >> thank you.
5:42 pm
>> tucker: he said the role of the sacred duty of news organizations is to tell the readers and viewers what is happening to report the news. cnn and msnbc have given up completely and they are revolutionary organizations turning out. they are no riots. there are most -- mostly peaceful protest. the propaganda almost defies belief. we will show it to you after the break. ♪ ...an independent organization that sets strict quality and purity standards nature made, the #1 pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand

5:47 pm
♪ >> tucker: it was barely a week ago when news anchors were calling for you to be arrested instead of going outside without permission. at the time "the new york times" and twitter board said it was unpatriotic to have protest at the state legislature. in fact in new jersey, a one was arrested for daring to plan a protest on facebook. now that we have protests that are violent that have become riots and are destroying our cities, "the new york times" has a brand-new view. yesterday's "new york times"
5:48 pm
declared "america's protest won't stop until the police brutality does." right, they didn't say when that would be because they are encouraging violence. and of course they use that word again "protest" not riots. you're not allowed to use that word and it doesn't exist. over at the ministry of truth on cnn the only acceptable label for destroying our society is mostly peaceful protest. >> what the president doesn't seem to know or care the vast majority of those protesting, they too are calling for law and order. people protesting deserving answers, and they haven't gotten them. >> a bit of an escalation in other ways a very relatively quiet and peaceful protest. this administration has done no favors to this cause by harnessing anger. there was plenty of anger in america. when you play with it, you play with fire just as you see on your screen right now. >> those are not police but protesters protecting it, standing up to potential looters
5:49 pm
and vandals telling them to go away. that is happening in communities all acros across the land. >> people see violence and think people are just taking advantage of the situation. and there may be some people that are. i don't know that every single person is doing this is borne out of pain, but i can tell you many people are. they don't know what to do without emotion, so their response, especially young folks, is to lash out. >> tucker: what if your country was overwhelmed with violent riots and no one covered it? the chief washington correspondent for the hill newspaper. we are happy to have him on tonight. so what if your country was transformed by violence, but the people whose job it was to tell you the truth about what was happening outside refused to do it but instead lied to you as a group and didn't stop lying? what would happen? that is the amazing thing about this, the media is handing this historic at the beginning which is disgraceful.

first they just openly riots, looting and then they tried to blame it on russians and white nationalist because that apparently that is only group selectively to apply the rule of law too. now, now they understand where they know exactly where public opinion is going on this so they are trying to manipulate it and selectively covering it, well are there some people committing crimes? you can see as clear as day what is happening before your eyes. and i thought you put it perfectly earlier today on your show when you said this is the first working-class uprising or the first uprising against the working-class masquerade. >> tucker: that is exactly right. it is a revolutionary downward at the pesky people in the trailer parts who don't behave. but i have to say, can the rest of us let them get away but this? i'm not one for vengeance and i'm not calling for it, but i don't think that people who encourage violence on television should be allowed to pretend
5:51 pm
that they didn't and resume their normal lives as if they didn't do anything wrong. >> no, we can't ever forget. this is when you find out who really is on the side of law and order and who isn't. so many people are playacting revolutionary. at the very worst they are whitewashing it. but at the very most, they know exactly what they are doing which is this is a cynical ploy, which is to use the cultural is him in the country. the commanding pride of american culture i want everyone america is a irredeemable racist nation from the very beginning. because every second that we are not talking about that, we are not talking about the concentrated capital in the hands of the corporation and the elite, especially in the media, the people who own these companies who are saying, nope, nope, no, no the issue is race not class. so we start asking hard questions about class. if we start asking hard questions about their own roles and eradicating black homeownership and black wealth, then they might not like the answers because the answers lie
5:52 pm
and that, you know, the answers to these questions lie in the pockets of many of these people. and in some of the political analysts that they employ as television analysts. >> tucker: showed up in smoke your weed. i have to say, my final question to you, are you shocked by it? i have worked at both of the other channels and i don't agree with their politics. but i think all of us in america were horrified by violence. you couldn't look at somebody being beaten by a two by four. they are not bothered at all. does that shock you? >> no, doesn't shock me, tucker appeared like i said earlier the media and democrats only believn selective enforcement of the rule of law. if a white supremacist organization gives the fbi to completely destroy it. when a political cause committing violence adjacent to a group committing violence which is somehow associated with it, than the rule of law goes right out the order. it objects as much of injustice
5:53 pm
to have selective application of the rule of law. that is how you overrule a country. >> tucker: that is exactly right. if you want justice, racial justice, demand application of the law. a wise point, thank you. >> thanks, tucker. one of seattle's political endorsed the meeting. what will that mean for city businesses that have not been plundered yet? we are about to find out. we go to seattle live next. ♪

>> tucker: this is a fox news alert. a city councilwoman in seattle openly endorsed looting. now, this is not surprising, there are fears that yet another wave of violence and mayhem is imminent in that city as evening approaches. fox 13 seattle reporter joins us tonight with more. simone, what's happening? >> so we are marching in the streets of downtown right now. i'm in the middle, a sea of
5:59 pm
thousands of protesters right now and actually just finished a conversation with seattle's mayor and the police chief about trying to address their concerns here. of course as you know, last night demonstrations just like this that we were marching with her for several hours turned into what seattle police called a riot. that's when seattle police deployed teargas and flash bangs and pepper spray into the crowd. they were trying to keep protesters away from the police. i know you were mentioning earlier in your show about talking about how the anger that some people in our town have been feeling has turned to a sense of destruction in the city of seattle. at the organizers of this demonstration told a lot of people yesterday we are not looters. we have thousands of people here and sometimes as it turns tonight, we just don't know
6:00 pm
what's going to happen. right now it's just peaceful, thousands of people marching in the streets of seattle. back to you. >> tucker: simone, good luck tonight. we will see what happens once it gets dark in seattle. that's it for us. have a great night. speaking of great, sean hannity right now. >> sean: heart having a great night, so stop our country, great coverage as always. welcome to "hannity," we begin tonight a fox news alert. multiple police officers have been shot, several more have been run over with automobiles, many are fighting for their lives at this very hour. business owners have been beaten to a pulp, stores in dozens of neighborhoods all around the country have been looted for days on end. buildings have been ablaze around the country and we have anarchy rolling the streets of america's liberal cities and sadly we are watching government at its worst. we have mayors, we have governors cowering in fear, incapable of restoring
