if somebody does something wrong they ought to be held accountable. >> martha: always glad to see you, glad you are well, glad to see you tonight. that is "the story," we wish you good night and we will see you tomorrow. stay here. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." here is breaking news we never expected to report. "black lives matter" is now more popular than the president of the united states and out slightly more popular than the president, much more popular. a survey this week and right winning poster found 62% of likely voters now have a favorable opinion of blac "black lives matter" and donald trump's approval rating 43%. almost 20 points lower. by the way, trump was not alone. "black lives matter" is more popular than joe biden has too. it's more popular than americans

religious institution from all of them. it is more popular than the media, congress and big business. "black lives matter" is more popular by double digits than both the democratic and republican parties. it is almost as popular as the u.s. military. it is much more popular than the pope. the numbers are astounding, but the polls are not the only measure of it. here is a "black lives matter" rally over the weekend in new york. look at that picture parent that is an ocean of people. ask yourself the last time you saw a candidate for office to draw a crowd like that. the media relentlessly with coverage describe "black lives matter" as an activist group or protest movement. by that is deception by an understatement. "black lives matter" is not a collection of marchers or science or a conventional political lobbyist planned parenthood with the nra. it is not pressuring congress with a new set of laws. "black lives matter" is far more ambitious than that. it is working to remake the country and then to control it. it is a political party.

as of tonight, "black lives matter" may be the most single powerful party in the united states. nobody said that out loud but politicians understand it perfectly well. if nothing else they understand power because i can smell it at great distance. that is why they are lining up to bow before "black lives matter." >> you can't really reform the department that is rotten to the root. >> we heard our people cry out, "i can't breathe." we heard our people stand out from a "black lives matter." this is a systemic problem that requires a comprehensive solution. >> what i would say is there is a legitimacy with anger. and outrage. >> none of what you saw is a stretch for democrats. they believe long-term goals align with those with "black lives matter" and at times they function as an arm of the democratic party. more telling an ominous is the

response from many republicans. they've been happy to go along as well or mitt romney smelled the same slogans. >> violence and brutality and make sure the people understand that "black lives matter." >> martha>> tucker: that was thr republican nominee for the president. if ever there was an indicator how powerful "black lives matter" has become, you just saw it, republican leaders brag about their strong conservative convictions but mostly they want to be on the winning team whatever that is. that is why they pause before offending china. when "black lives matter" says take a knee, they do. it is all pretty strange when you think about it. if the leaders of "black lives matter" are political actors, and they are, by definition you are allowed to have any opinion you want to have about them. "black lives matter" wants to run the country, therefore, you can criticize "black lives matter." those are the rules of the system but not anymore. imagine a world where you are

punished for questioning the behavior of the president or for insulting your local mayor. you probably can't imagine that because it's too bizarre. it is un-american that that is where we are right now. "black lives matter" has change the rules and this is the first new rule, no criticizing "black lives matter." you can be fired from your job if you disobey. many americans have been. on friday, for example the principle of the public was dismissed from her job for posting a following words on facebook page "i understand the urgency to feel compelled to advocate for black lives, what about fellow law enforcement? just because i don't walk around with a blm sign should not mean i'm a racist." unfortunately the principal's boss disagreed and the superintendent of windsor schools describe the quote you just heard as "outright racist." by the way 97% white. also on friday in the economist lost his job at the federal reserve bank in chicago for daring to offer mild

criticism on that. on twitter, "black lives matter" had "torpedoed itself with full-fledged supportive hashtag defined the police. now is the time for sensible adults to enter back into the room with serious earnest respectful conversations about it all. that was a statement concluded so they fired harold. we can give you many other examples of the same thing happening. and "black lives matter" now enjoys complete immunity from criticism. this is unprecedented for american political movement but "black lives matter" is more powerful than that. it has no handedly advised their moral framework. "black lives matter" do matter, that is a statement of fact and no decent person doubts that is true because it is. it is true precisely because every life matters. we are all human beings and everyone of us. we have souls, skin color is irrelevant to moral value.

until recently, this was considered obvious. saying it was regarded as a virtue. all lives matter to equally and all created by god to purity in the end, all of us will die and nothing can change that, not wealth, not fame, not race. every life is precisely as valuable as every other life. by the way, that idea forms the basis of the christian faith. it is the entire premise behind our founding documents. and yet, suddenly, thanks to "black lives matter," you can no longer say it out loud. affirming the fundamental equality of all people is now considered hate speech. you can be fired for saying it. again, many people have been. this is a dangerous moment. how did we get here? in a word quickly, it happened fast. as recently as december before the riots, most americans did not approve of "black lives matter." the group was defined in the public mind by moments like th

this. [chanting] >> tucker: pigs in a blanket fry like bacon. kill the police. they yelled that at a rally. the usual layers immediately scoop and to pretend it never happened. the president of southern property law center with an op-ed considered not considering "black lives matter" a hate group. but the video was online. a lot of facts about "black lives matter" still reside on the internet. they have not been scrubbed. the group signature demand to eliminate law enforcement. when you first heard protesters scream "defund the police" it may have talked to you and you thought that was crazy. and limiting law enforcement is rising quickly in the polls. minneapolis is already doing it. other cities will follow. are you surprised? almost no one in public life has pushed back meaningfully against

the idea of defining the police. the "black lives matter" position is the only position most people here. after a while they believe it, and challenge claims must be true. that is what most people assume and why wouldn't they assume that? if you disagree, say something but otherwise it's much more likely to happen. so with that in mind, consider the other positions "black lives matter" has endorsed the repeal of all immigration restrictions for starters. the legalization of work,, they are for that too appear at the destruction of the family, and farmland. race based reparation specifically "in the form of a guaranteed minimum livable income for all black people." do you hear that? all black people are not just descendants of american. this would include millions of immigrants who on average now earn more than native born american. everyone of these new americans will receive a guaranteed annual

income from american taxpayers in a tone for the scent of, for the scent of what, actually? allowing them to immigrate here? "black lives matter" does not explain that part. nobody asked them. you can be fired for asking. what you cannot be punished for however looting and burning at least if you are "black lives matter." huge parts of the urban landscape have been destroyed and no one held to account for it. just the opposite. you are encouraged to pretend it never happened. in st. louis, every rider arrested released without charge. in new york hundreds released without bail emphysema in washington, d.c. it's happening everywhere and not in place is just elected by democrats which tells you a lot. for taxes, example one of the major american cities with betsy price. the demonstrators plucked a bridge in downtown fort worth. when the police arrive to disperse them, they threw rocks and bottles of bleach. three police officers injured. the mob went on to loot and

penalize businesses, dozens of rioters were arrested for this. ten days later the police chief ed krause announcing he was dropping all charges against -- he issued a statement saying the real criminals in the riot are not the rioters but his own police officers whom he suggested would be reined in and perhaps punished. "this is just one step on a long journey, he wrote, sounding more like a therapist than a cop." his was committed to walking the path of reform with the community. the press never bothered to explain what his pups had done wrong. they were cops and that was enough. that same day, the school board issued a statement declaring "police practices are deeply rooted in white supremacy." no one said which these practices with white supremacy or with the accusation meant. it was a blanket condemnation but it was left to hang in the air. as usual, know nobody in authority pushed back in a

republican-led city. it will be interesting to note what happens to the murder rate in fort worth over the next year. we can guess. we see it all over the country and we have seen it many times through the year. when the people in charge undermined the law, violence surges. but there is a solution to this vortex and it's called leadership. 65 years ago politicians throughout the american south brown versus board decision the authorities simply ignore the law like it didn't exist. and filled the vacuum, and use violence to make their own law. and the federal government stepped in to restore order. 1957 president dwight eisenhower federalized and -- little rock to forced to obey the law. so the question is, where is our justice department today? right now? is there a reason the doj hasn't filed federal conspiracy charges against the people who organize and lead these riots? as long as we don't know who

they are, their crimes are on youtube. you know the reason, "black lives matter" was involved. it is politically sensitive. no one wants to be called a racist is if it's racist to punish people for crimes they they commit. you are the victims of those crimes. the old people beaten to the ground for trying to defend their property, the shop owners whose life savings were stolen or burned. the families of the people murdered during the riots and there were quite a few of them. no one is defending these people. no one is punishing their attackers. nobody cares. imagine how they feel about that. what recourse do they have? do they have to torture when these? let's hope not. you might be enough to have a single national leader, just one who understands what is actually going on in this country and is. that might make all the difference and it would certainly make a political career of the person who doesn't. in the fall of 1968 from a teaching assistant at

san francisco state university george murray gave a speech with racial violence. he urged black students to bring guns to campus and "kill all the masters." murray by the way was the administrative education in the black panther party which was an people at the time. they equivocated but ultimately they suspended him under pressure. in response to this a group called third world liberation shut down the campus, sound familiar? they demand at the university drop all admission standards for black applicants and admit purely on the basis of race. administrators were paralyzed in the face of this. more than anything they didn't want to be called racist. the president was so terrorized by it that he quit and left. ultimately the leadership at san francisco state failed to unlikely precedent. fyi -- he was short, eccentric, wore thick glasses but completely fearless. on december 2nd, 1968, he marched in the middle of a

student protest. writers immediately assaulted him. but he kept going. he climbed onto the roof of a soundtrack and ripped the wire set up a loudspeaker. and the university reopened that day. here is a lesson for today's officeholders. he became a folk hero for standing up to the mob. he was elected to the united states senate from california. the republicans supported him. voters did too. they didn't always understand him. he wore a scottish cap and republican never explained why he did, but it didn't matter. he was brave and honest and voters appreciated that above all. they always do. we don't have our guy yet, but cowards. our leaders are happy to talk about everything but the collapse of civilization tumbling down around them. they have no idea how how little credibility they have or relevant they have become. if you can't tell the truth when the truth actually matters, then nothing you say matters. meanwhile, "black lives matter"

becomes more powerful and more popular with the public. why is that happening? exactly, here's way, "black lives matter" is getting exactly what they want. that is the most basic sign of strength, strength is the most appealing quality to voters and to people and to animals. three weeks ago, "black lives matter" demand at the city's deep on their the mighty nypd the biggest police department and our nation the most sophisticated department and the world is abolishing its entire division, plain clothed division. because "black lives matter" wanted it and it is done. that is not bluffing, posturing, that is not tweeting, that is real power. you noticed it will not require the usual maneuvering for "black lives matter" to get the power. they didn't need a team of lawyers to get it. "black lives matter" doesn't make legal arguments. they will not try to convince her of anything. "black lives matter" believes in force. they fled the streets with angry, young people who break

things and they hurt anyone who gets in the way. when they want something, they take it. make them mad and they will set your business on fire. annoy them and they will occupy your downtown and declare a brand-new country. you will not do anything about it. they know that for certain. this is the most obstructive kind of politics. we saw it in recent years and they did it to brett kavanaugh, the main point of slandering him was never to block his confirmation. you misread that. you knew they could not achieve it. the real point was to send brett kavanaugh and john roberts and the other republican justice is a clear message, step out of line and we will hurt your families. judging from recent court decisions, it worked. at times it is clear supposedly conservative justices are afraid to defy the mob. what message do the rest of us take from what has happened over the past few weeks? it is very simple. the messages force is more effective than voting. elections change nothing. rioting by contrast makes you rich and powerful.

when you riots, prosecutors will ignore the law on your behalf. preparations will send you millions. politicians will kneel down before you. it works, violence works. that is the message. everyone here is that message until violence stops working, violence will continue. how powerful is black lives matter? the left keeping the protest going is more important than fighting a deadly pandemic. in the city of new york officials are not allowed to ask if the people they are surveying attended the protest which may be spreading the virus. an amazing story. ♪ you doing okay?

♪ >> tucker: states in this company are reopening from lockdowns and with that in some places of a rising cronus virus cases, trace gallagher has the latest force, hey, trace. >> no doubt california, arizona, texas, florida and north and south carolina have seen a jump in the number of infections. both of those states come a lot is attributed to increase in testing and some health officias say the increase in gatherings over memorial day weekend also played a role. but then you have other officials who acknowledge there's not enough data to begin

pointing fingers at the holiday weekend. you can see today california has more than 2400 new cases, texas more than 2,000, florida more than 1700. those numbers fairly consistent the last ten days, but when you look at new deaths from all three of those states are on the low end. 28 california, 19 texas, seven florida. that is a good trend. texas is now reporting more than 2300 people in hospitals and that is a new high. arizona has 464 people in the states intensive care units, also a new high. both arizona has seen it up to can positive test among native american population. finally, early test results show you protesters in minneapolis caught covid-19. in fact of the 3300 protesters who were tested only 1.4% were positive for the virus. but experts also say it is not surprising for two reasons. 1:30 300 protesters is not a

large enough sampling size and two there was little to no evidence people who attended the protest were already sick and therefore could spread the disease. tucker. >> tucker: interesting. trace thanks a lot for that. >> sure. >> tucker: new york city has hired a thousand contract tracers. their job is to track the spread of coronavirus. they are expensive. they are being paid an annual salary of $60,000 apiece, $5 million from u.s. taxpayers every month. the idea is they will prevent a second outbreak and therefore, a second locked down in new york. but they are not even trying. by the way the concern from day one is this new course of employees will be used for political purposes, and they already are. tracers have been told not to ask whether people infected with the coronavirus recently attended "black lives matter" protests. why is that? joining us tonight the fox medical contributor dr. marc siegel. thank you for coming on. what is this about?

>> tucker, when it comes to public health, politicians undermined their credibility by having different standards for different people. i will give you two examples. when you already talked about. first is social distancing and the other is contact tracing. social distancing governor whitmer a huge proponent of social distancing except when she went elbow to elbow with the protesters. when one of the representative state representatives from grand rapids said you know what social distancing is critical unless you have a great photo up. here in new york state, governor cuomo uses the stick and the carrot. this morning to stick, new york we may lock you down again. if you don't cut it out. this afternoon he used the carrot, places where he mentioned up to 25 people can gather. the carrot and a stick. when it comes to the contact tracing you are talking about, this is deeply disturbing, tucker. because it's at the heart of public health. but a spokesperson for mayor de blasio said the

contact tracing in the city will not be proactive. proactive about whether you attended a protest or not. but proactivity is the very essence of contact tracing. let me give you an example. down in cape may over the memorial day weekend, there was a party. it was a super-spreader there. the local public health officials zoomed in and checked everybody at the party. they found out who had it, who was contacted by them, they isolated them and prevented further spread. obviously that applies to the protesters and obviously, that is what new york city contract tracing should be is being proactive and were you in that crowd, what did you do in that crowd, who were you within that crowd? tucker, my prescription for tonight instead of politicians making these decisions, why don't we turn to physicians? tucker. >> tucker: that is the question you have asked and seconded since the very first day. dr. siegel, great to see you,

thank you. speak with thanks. >> tucker: seven is ahead, the nation of chaz is no more like so many young countries and identity crisis and a new name to go along with it. the new name is chopped. with it a revolutionary policy and an update from seattle next. ♪

>> tucker: there are many ways to change a nation, but perhaps none is more fundamental and abrupt than changing a nation's name. russia did not likely become the ussr for revolution. and zimbabwe on a lark. it was a war. so it is with full appreciation of how serious this is that we tell you the nation of chaz and former downtown seattle doesn't exist anymore. it has been reborn. the capitol hill autonomous zone is the capitol hill occupied protest, chop. the new name, and effort to

rebrand the country's identity kind of like upper volta became the land of the upright men. but that is not the end of it. is chop the name of the country wants for the rest of time? printed on atlases or should we wait? like so many unstable countries is it likely to change again for a more fitting name. of course there are a lot of themes for that. soviet union and yemen, and women. and this just for the acronym seattle united cable supporters. or how about the faculty lounge or chicago? no name change will solve all of the challenges that chop faces. it has declared itself no cop co-op which means no uniformed police. but what it actually means is that chop merely empowered its own left professional more

abusive police. last week, its own struggle to contain its worst stomach first warlord era began via brad simone known as paul pothead wha man for spreading graffiti. now the zone has regular patrols with puget sound john brown gun club and you may recognize the name of the former member was shot dead while attacking an ice facility last year. over the weekend, chop nonpolice had first case of nonpolice brutality against an actual person a local street person. [screaming] >> tucker: you are choking me, he yells. you may be choking on the irony of all of this. well, chop inflicts violence on the people within it. some residents dream of lashing outwards to terrorize the country they left behind. >> only time that we are heard

is when we burn felipe down. and white america does not want to hear, right? they will see more burning or looting felipe. >> tucker: and of course like so many revolutionary states, intending with radical social orders and chop has been divided by segregation being a new frontier of civil rights and those of one color order to make payments to those of another color. >> i want you to find by the time you leave, this autonomous zone, i want you to get $10 to one african-american person from this autonomous zone. that is a challenge for you. if that is a challenge i'm not sure that is the place. white people, i see every single one of you. and i remember your faces. >> tucker: it is a request for reparations and backed up with the threat they always are. i see you and i will remember

your face! in other words are you in life of the revolution or who do you support stolen napoleon or snowball? choose wisely. radio host jason rantz is fox's envoy to chop unofficially, and we don't have diplomatic privileges yet but he joins us from just over the border in the united states. jason, what is it look like in the dnc? >> it is kind of interesting. you have these weird statements and speeches demanding money and then immediately afterwards, you have a dodgeball game. which of course, is interesting i suppose if you are trying to establish yourself as a new nation. trying to get into the olympics. i have to say i was inspired to leave because i'm an adult that doesn't think dodgeball is actually going to solve the problems. at the same time, you have concerns with the police force. not only is that the john brown gun club heavily armed without training pushed by a dangerous

ideology but what could possibly go wrong? then you have still trying to overcome the fact he had less than woke moments, some tweets came up that were pretty homophobic. so he is claiming someone pulled the joy reid. so maybe joy reid will end up exhaustive investigation done looking to who photoshopped his tweets. we will find out. >> tucker: maybe joy reid will get to the bottom of that. by the way my heard who was at the dmc between the koreas is at the dmc they are. quite a character. how long will this continue? have you spoken to authorities in seattle and is this the permanent state of seattle ripped downtown? >> right now it is the permanent state but no plans to get involved. mayor jenny durkan with her security decided to make a diplomatic trip over to the garden appear there was nothing that came out of it other than maybe they got more gatorade frm there no cop co-op. there is literally no plan to change anything so this can go on for a very long time.

when you look at the commands getting rid of the police force, getting rid of the gentrifying -- obviously those things will not happen, fingers crossed. so we don't know exactly what the game plan is on how to end it. >> tucker: what about the american stuck with him on the wrong side of the border, the people who own businesses inside of chop? how are they holding up? >> not too well. there was a daily article that said all these businesses just adored chop and chaz in all these folks. when i talk to the businesses, number one they are scared to death to speak up because they realize what can happen to them. last night or early this morning, there was an arson attempt at a business just a block and a half from chop. they ended up, the business owners caught the guy, but they tell me that a whole bunch of people, protesters, demanded they get this guy turned over or face more destruction. so they called 911 and said 15 to 18 times and didn't get a

single cop to show up. the fire department can chew up and the cops don't show up so it is a big mess and it is dangerous. >> tucker: it is awful. it was a beautiful city. jason rantz, thank you for that report. good to see you tonight. >> think you. >> tucker: rayshard brooks attacked two police officers in atlanta and stole a taser and try to use it on them. he was killed. no one supports that. yet we are being told that he is a victim and the police are once again the villain. is that true? we will explore the details of that case after the break. ♪ ♪

♪ >> tucker: on friday night in the city of atlanta, a man called rayshard brooks fell asleep in his car parked in the wendy's drive through blocking traffic. he was drunk. the police were called. it should have been a textbook dui arrest. that did not happen. and video shows it was not the fault of the police. you are going to watch it in a moment. the police in this case unfailingly polite with brooks. when they tried to arrest him, he attacked them but in the end

paid with his life. >> hey, sir, are you all right? you are sitting in the driving line here. >> i've had a few drinks, that is it. >> i was in the event -- i told her, baby, let's go. i'm hungry. >> what kind of drinks did you have? >> i'm not sure. whatever she ordered. i'm ready to go. >> so you had about 1.5 drinks. >> no, sir. >> i think you've had too much to drink to be driving. put your hands behind your back. hey, stop fighting, stop fighting, stop fighting! you are going to get tased! stop! you are going to get tased!

stop fighting! >> rayshard brooks was a tragedy, all deaths are a tragedy, but it was not the fault of the two police officers. officers. there was not a single american of any background of any color who could attacked two callouts, steal a taser, try to shoot an officer with a taser and not expect to be shot by the police. that is the truth. unjustified police killings have happened in america. this is not one of them. but the media and their masters in the democratic party smell

blood. they want more conflict. they want more hatred of the police. they want more racial division come all of which they believe serves them here they are inflaming the country as much as they can. stacey abrams pretends to be the governor. and he was murdered because he was asleep in a drive through. that is a lie appeared on cnn attorney angeles rice -- angela wright said brooks had no idea to steal the taser from the police officer. if he had not done that the police officer simply would have executed him. >> in this case, there was a potentially dangerous crime. he was drunk driving. and i guess what i think. >> he was parking and that is not fair. he was asleep in a car parking lot. he ran and he realized his life was at risk. that is why he took the taser. because every time you don't fight back, we die. >> tucker: it is hard to believe cnn would allow someone on television in the middle of a

crisis like this in the country is on edge and invited to say something that ludicrous, that false, that inflammatory peer that is certain to deepen racial divisions and yet many people are saying this. that atlanta police chief has resigned. sadder night and arsonist burned down the wendy's where brooks fell to sleep as if that will solve the problem. the officer who shot brooks was immediately fired. fulton county district attorney city could be charged with murder in this case. no doubt facing enormous political pressure to bring charges and to see more rights just like minneapolis did appear this is what happens when you empower them all. justice dies, civilization ends. victor david hanson at the hoover institution joins us tonight. the pastor, you watched this dynamic and have seen it before. describe what we are looking at if you would. >> we are right in the middle of a cultural revolution where we can't look at logic and rest for a rationality.

so the police logic the only way to get out of this dilemma. who wants to go into this type of condition and arrest somebody for a dui. so when the police mentality, here is a sequence of events they would have to follow in revolutionary times. they probably have to say, sorry, somebody drunk and endanger people by driving, we will not go there because it won't work out for us. that is the first thing they have to say. and then if they didn't go. it started off polite on both sides but once mr. brooks decided he would resist arrest, the police would have to say, you know what can i will not hassle just go. if they decided not to do that and when mr. brooks hit the police, i'm not going to hit back. that is not with the police do and they decided to hit back, they would have to say when he took the taser, go ahead appear this is an explosive situation and we don't want to do it. if they have not done that, when he left and took off running,

the police would have had to say, you know what in questions of dui and things, somebody threatened by drunk driving, we don't chase suspects. we let them go. if they didn't do that, they decide to chase a suspect and the suspect turned around and looked like he was going to shoot them with a taser, they have to say, it's part to be hit by a taser. might've been a gun, a taser, we don't know but we have to do that. look, that his tomb and exemptions in the way of the police. how are they going to react to that? when somebody calls from wendy's and says we have a male blocking the driveway and he's intoxicated. i think you know the answer to that. you can have as many guests as you want, want on television at night and say, these are the statistics of black male, 7,000 tragically killed. and here is the incidence of people in arm that are both black and white shot by the police per year. here are 10,000 arrests,

3 million contacts, 25% of those shocked by the police are african-american, 50% are arrested. it doesn't matter anymore. we are way beyond that. and we are in a revolutionary time. and all is going to end when somebody very powerful, i think white affluent called up 9/11 and gets a busy signal. and just like me too. once they go after liberal progressive celebrities and denied due process that you have limitations, suddenly we ended up with nobody believing tara reade anymore. >> tucker: you are exactly right. me too movement ended when joe biden got accused and this will end when one of the many people on the left encouraging violence it and i think it is an insightful point, not surprisingly, professor, thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: for the mob among many other things will outlaw the days of the week next, but

for now, they are busy renaming the nation's military bases. and instead of resisting this most republicans on capitol hill are eagerly going along with it. we will be right back.

>> tucker: you don't think renaming bases are tearing down statues will make the country prosperous? >> it's an amazing thing and you look at a similar vein, the corporations who say that they will donate hundreds of millions to this or that because, they would rather write a one-time check than change any of their business practices that have shifted jobs overseas, taking away jobs in our inner cities. the same thing with politicians on both sides of the aisle. nobody wants to have a conversation about the policies that got us here or how we're going to turn it around and give working people of all races in this country of fear and future and stake in the future. that's the conversation we need to be having. >> tucker: amen. a distraction designed to prevent us fo -- from having it. i want to congratulate you on being the only one standing up against it. good to see you. that's it for us tonight. we are out of time. we'll be back tomorrow night at

8:00 p.m. and every weeknight. the show that is the sworn and totally sincere enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and groupthink. with that, or prepare yourself. the great sean hannity takes over from new york. great show. welcome to hannity. i would like to say all good news. it's not. my heart is troubled. we're going to go through the facts, news information that a lot of people in the media don't want to give you. protests continuing across the country. brand-new footage from the murder of george floyd. it shows how a crowd of onlookers, this is very hard video to look at, begging, begging one of the other officers at the scene to step in and stop what was happening to george floyd. minute after minute after minute. it's excruciating. we will played with a warning. meanwhile, anarchy and lawlessness reigns supreme in seattle. the police precinct there has been abandoned by city officials.
