tv   Tucker Carlson Tonight  FOX News  June 15, 2020 9:00pm-10:00pm PDT

9:00 pm
yeah. yeah, i could see that. for those who were born to ride, there's progressive. tomorrow. stay here. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." here is bracing news we never expected to report. "black lives matter" is now more popular than the president ofare the united states and not slightly more popular than the president, much more popular. right a right leaning pollster found 62% of likely voters now have a favorable opinion of "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 is too. it's more popular than america's religious institution, all of them.
9:01 pm
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 thela 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.or here is a "black lives matter" rally over the weekend in new york. look at that picture. 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 fawning 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 with signs or a conventional political lobby like planned parenthoodng or the nra. it is not pressuring congress with a new set of laws. "black lives matter" is far more ambitious than that.t. 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
9:02 pm
most single powerful political party in the united states. nobody said that out loud but politicians understand it perfectly well. if nothing else, they understand power. they can smell it at greatwe distances. that is why they are lining up to bow before "black lives matter." >> you can't really reform a department that is rotten to the root. >> we heard our people cry out, "i can't breathe." we heard our people speak out "black lives matter." >> this is a systemic problem that requires a comprehensive solution. >> what i would say is there is a legitimacy to the anger. and outrage. >> tucker: 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 the group functions as an arm of the democratic party. more telling an ominous is the response from many republicans. they've been happy to go along
9:03 pm
as well, or mitt romney's case mouth the same slogans. >> end violence and brutality and make sure the people understand that black lives matter. >> tucker: that was the former republican nominee for the president. let that sink in. 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 tells them to 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 ycan 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
9:04 pm
because it's too bizarre. it is un-american. that is where we are right now. black lives matter has changed 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 school 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 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." described the quote yu just heard as "outright racist." windsor, vermont is more than 97% white. also on friday an economist lost his job at the federal reserve bank in chicago for daring to offer mild criticism on that. on twitter, he noted
9:05 pm
black lives matter had "torpedoed itself with full-fledged supportive #defundthepolice. now is the time for sensible adults to enter back into the room and have serious, earnest respectful conversations about it all." that was a racist statement, the federal reserve concluded, so they fired . 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 an american political movement but "black lives matter" is more powerful than that. it has single-handedly revised ourr 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 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.
9:06 pm
all lives matter equally. all of us were created by god 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 blackst lives matter. the group was defined in the public mind by moments like this. >> [chanting]
quote
9:07 pm
>> pigs in a blanket. >> fry 'em like bacon. >> tucker: pigs in a blanket fry like bacon. kill the police. they yelled that at a rally.ic the usual liars immediately scooped in to pretend it never happened. the president of southern povery 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's signature demand to eliminate law enforcement. when you first heard protesters scream "defund the police," it may have shocked you. that was crazy. and limiting law enforcement is rising quickly in the polls. minneapolis is already doing it. iother cities will follow. are you surprised? almost no one in public life has pushed back meaningfully against the idea of defunding the
9:08 pm
police. the black lives matter position is the only position most people here. after a while they believe it, unchallenged claims must be true. that is what most people assume and why wouldn't they assume that?cl if you disagree, say something 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.en they are for that. the legalization of sex work, prostitution, they are for that too. the destruction of theoo nuclear family forced reallocation of 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, not just descendants of american slaves. this would include millions of immigrants who on average now earn more than native born americans. every one of these new americans would receive a guaranteed annual income from american taxpayers to attone for the
9:09 pm
the sin of, for the sin 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 f 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 neverd happened. in st. louis, every rioter arrested has been released without charges. in new york, hundreds released without bail same in washington, d.c. it's happening everywhere and not in place is just elected by democrats which tells you a lot. fort worth, texas, example one of the major american cities the demonstrators plucked a bridge in downtown fort worth. when police arrive to when police arrived to disperse them, they threw rocks and bottles of bleach. three police officers were injured. the mob went on to loot and vandalize businesses.
9:10 pm
dozens of rioters were arrested ten days later, the police chief ed krause, announcing he was dropping all charges. 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.hi his department was "committed to walking the path of reform with the community." never bothered to explain whatt his cops had done wrong. they were cops and that was enough. d that same day, the school board issued a statement declaring "police practices are deeply rooted in white supremacy." no one specified which these practices with white supremacy or what the accusation meant. it was a blanket condemnation but it was left to hang in the air. as usual, no one in authority pushed back in a republican-led city. it will be interesting to know
9:11 pm
to the murder rate in fort worth over the next year. we can guess. we are seeign it all over the country andd we have seen it may times through the year. when the people in charge undermine 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 refused to submit to brown versus board decision the authorities simply ignore the law like it didn't exist. armed groups filled the vacuum, and use violence to make their own law. the federal government stepped in to restore order. president dwight eisenhower federalized the national guard to obey the law. so the question is, where is our justice department today? is there a reason the doj hasn't filed federal conspiracy charges against the people who organize and lead these riots? it's not as if we don't know who they are, their crimes are on youtube. you know the reason,
9:12 pm
black lives matter was involved. it is politically sensitive. no prosecutor wants to be called a racist, is if it's racist to punish people for crimes they they commit. what do the victims of those crimes think? 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. tytyno one is defending these people. no one is punishing their attackers.er nobody cares. imagine how they feel about that. what recourse do they have? do they have to torch a wendy's? 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 brave enough to say so. that might make all the difference, and it would certainly make the politicalno career of the person who doesnd it. in the fall of 1968, a teaching assistant at
9:13 pm
san francisco state university gave a speech on racial violence. he urged black students to bring guns to campus and "kill all the slave masters." murray by the way was the administrative education in the black panther party which was the antifa at the time. they equivocated but ultimately they suspended him under pressure. in response to this, a group called the third world liberation shut down the campus, sound familiar? they demanded the university drop all admission standards for black applicantsts 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 university's president was so terrorized by it that he quit and left. ultimately theac leadership at san francisco state fell to an unlikely president. he was short, eccentric, wore thick glasses but completely fearless. on december 2nd, 1968, here marched in the middle of a student protest. rioters immediately assaulted him. but he kept going. he climbed onto the roof of a
9:14 pm
sound truck and ripped the wire out of the 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. republicans supported him. voters did too. they didn't always understand him. he wore a scottish cap and 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 we have cowards. our leaders are happy to talk about everything but the collapse of civilization tumbling down around them. they have no idea how little credibility they have or how irrelevant 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?
9:15 pm
here's why, 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 demanded that cities defund their police. the nypd bowed and announced its abolishing its entire t plainclothes division, 600 people, gone for good because black lives matter wanted it done and now it is done. that is not bluffing. it's not posturing. it's not tweeting. that is real power. you notice he did not require the usual maneuvering for black lives matter to get that power. they didn't need a team of lawyers to get it. black lives matter doesn't make legal arguments. they're not trying to convince you of anything. black lives matter believes in force. they flood the streets with angry young people who break things and they hurt anyone who gets in the way. when they want something, they
9:16 pm
take it. make them mad and they will set your business on fire. annoyed them and they will occupy your downtown and declare a band trickle brand-new country. you're not going to do anything about it, they know that forwi certain. this is the most destructive kind of politics. we've seen a lot of it in recent years. organize group suited to brett kavanaugh. the main point of slandering kavanaugh was never to block his confirmation. they knew they probably couldn't achieve it. the real plan was to send kavanaugh and john roberts and the other republican justices a very clear message. step out of line and we will families. judging from recent court decisions it worked. at times it's very clear that supposedly conservative justices are afraid to defy the mob. what to rest of us take? the messages force is more effective than voting. elections change nothing. rioting by contrast makes you rich and powerful pony riot, prosecutors will ignore the law
9:17 pm
on your behalf. corporations will send you millions. politicians will kneel down before you. it works. violence works. that's the message. everyone hears that message. until violence stops working, violence will continue. how powerful is black lives matter? for thee left, keeping the protest going is more important than fighting a deadly pandemic. in new york, officials are not even allowed to ask if the people the they are surveying attended the protests which may be spreading the virus. amazing story next.
9:18 pm
9:19 pm
so what's going on? i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh... i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 7 million dogs. nice. and... the talking dog thing? is it bothering you? no... itching like a dog is bothering me. until dogs can speak for themselves, you have to. when allergic itch is a problem, ask for apoquel. apoquel is for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of atopic dermatitis in dogs. do not use apoquel in dogs less than 12 months old or those with serious infections. apoquel may increase the chance of developing serious infections and may cause existing parasitic skin infestations or pre-existing cancers to worsen. do not use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs. most common side effects are vomiting and diarrhea. feeling better? i'm speechless. thanks for the apoquel. awww. that's what friends are for.

9:23 pm
has more than 2400 new cases, texas more than 2,000, florida more than 1700. those numbers are fairly consistent for the last ten days, but when you look at new deaths, all three of those states are on the low end. 28 in california, 19 in texas, seven in florida. that is a good trend. texas is now reporting more than 2300 people in hospitals and that r is a new high. arizona has 464 people in the state's intensive care units, also a new high. finally, early test results show few 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. one, 3,300 protesters is not a large enough sampling size and two, there was little to no evidence people who attended the
9:24 pm
protests were already sick and therefore could spread the thdisease. 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 about 60 grand a piece. that's $5 million from new york taxpayers every month. the ideas they will prevent a second outbreak and therefore a second locked down in york. but they're not even trying. the concern from day one is that this new course of employees will be used for political purposes and they already are. tracers have been told not to ask wha what the people infected with the coronavirus recently attended black lives matter protests.tl why is that? forli answers, we are joined tonight by fox's medical contributor, dr. marc siegel. what is this about? >> when it comes to public
9:25 pm
health, politicians undermine the credibility by having different standards for different people. going to give you two examples. one you already talked about. first is social distancing and the others contact tracing. social distancing. governor whitmer is a huge proponent of social distancing except when she went elbow to elbow with the protesters. one of the representatives, state representatives from grand rapids said you know what, social distancing is critical unless you have a great photo op. here in new york state, governor cuomo uses the stick in the caret. uothis morning he used the stic. new york, we may lock you down again if you don't cut it out. this afternoon he is the carrot. places where he mentioned up to 25 people can gather. the carrot and the stick. when it comes to the contact tracing you're talking about, this is deeply disturbing. contact tracing is at the heart of public health. a spokesperson for mayor de blasio said that contact tracers in the city are not b going to be proactive.
9:26 pm
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. there was a super-spreader they are the local public health officials zoomed in and checked everybody in the party. they found out who had it, who was contacted by them, they isolated them and they prevented further spread. obviously that applies to the protesters and obviously that's otwhat new york city contact tracers should be doing, being proactive in asking that question. were you in that crowd? what'd you do in their crowd? who were you within that crowd? my prescription for tonight, instead of politicians making thesesc decisions, why don't we turn to physicians? >> tucker: that is theon question you have asked and seconded since the very first day. dr. siegel, great to see you, thank you. >> thanks. >> tucker: sad news ahead, the
9:27 pm
nation of chaz, the fledging nation, is no more. so many young countries and identity crisis and a new name to go along with it. the new name is chop. a revolutionary suite of policies. and an update from seattle next. ♪ [caring slow piano]

9:32 pm
>> tucker: there are many ways to change a nation, but perhaps none is more fundamental and abrupt than changing a nation's name. russia didn't lightly become the ussr. it took a revolution. so it isn 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.
9:33 pm
the new name, citizens say is an effort to rebrand the country's identity. but is that 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 candidates for that. woke-adishu. yemen and women. and this just for the acronym seattle united communist kale supporters. or how about the open air faculty lounge or chicago? no name change will solve all of the challenges that chop faces. fledgling nation states. it has declared itself no cop co-op which means no uniformed police. but what it actually means is that chop merely empowereded its own left professional morell abusive police.
9:34 pm
last week, the zone struggled tl contain its first warlord. now the zone has regular patrols with the puget sound john brown gun club. you may recognize the name. former member was shot dead while attacking an ice facility last year. over the weekend, chop nonpolice had its first case of nonpolice brutality against an actual person, a n local street person. >> [screaming] >> tucker: you're choking me, he yells. you may be choking on the ironyy of all of this. well, chop inflicts violence on the people within it. some residents dream of lashing outwards to terrorize the they left behind. >> only time that we are heard is when we burn [bleep] down.
9:35 pm
sorry, go ahead. and white america does not want to hear, right? they will see more burning or looting [bleep]. >> tucker: and of course like so many revolutionary states, chop is intent on radically reordering social orders. 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 you're in 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!
9:36 pm
in other words are you an ally 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 dmc? >> it is kind of interesting. you have these weird statements in the speech is demanding money and then immediately afterwards you go in and you have a dodgeball game which of course is kind of interesting if you're trying to establish yourself as a new nation. perhapsup you're trying to get t into the olympics. i have to say i was inspired to leave because i'm an adult who doesn't think dodgeball is actually going to solve any of the problems. at the same time you've got some concerns with the police force. not only is it the john brown gun club, heavily armed without any training, pushed by a dangerous ideology.
9:37 pm
what could possibly go wrong? you have people they're trying to overcome the fact he had some less than woke moments. tweets came up that were pretty homophobic. he's claiming someone pulled a joy reid. maybe joy reid will end up once that exhaustive investigation is done, looking into who photoshopped his tweets. vewe'll find out. >> tucker: maybe joy reid will get to the bottom of it. i heard our cameron, who was at the dmz between the two koreas is at the dmz there. quite an interpret character. is this the permanent state of downtown now? >> right now it's the permanent state. additional plans to get involved. marriage any derek kan with herv security decided to make diplomatic trip to the garden. there was nothing that came out of it other than maybe they got more gatorade. m there is literally no plan for them to change anything so this could go on for a very long time and when you look at their demands which include getting rid of the police force, getting
9:38 pm
rid of jails, obviously those aren't going to happen, fingers crossed. we don't know exactly what the game plan is on how to end it. >> tucker: i am glad mom is bringing gatorade. what about the american stock within, on the wrong side of the border? the b people who own businesses inside? how are they holding up? >> not too well. there was a daily beast article is have these businesses adored chop and all these folks and when i talk to some of the businesses, they tell me theyy 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 that's just a block and a half from chop. the business owners caught the guy but they told me a whole bunch of people, protesters demanded they get this guy turned over or face moreuy destruction. they called 911. 15 to 18 times they did get a single cop to show up. the fire department can't show
9:39 pm
up when the cops don't show up so it's a big mess and it's dangerous. >> tucker: it's awful. such a beautiful city, or was. thank you for that report. great to see you tonight. >> tucker: rayshard brooks attacked two police officers in atlanta and stole a taser and tried to use it on them. arhe was killed. no one supports that. everyone is sad about it. 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. true? hello everybody. it's me, gru.

but you already knew that. and i've got some tips to help you get through these challenging times. first, practice physical distancing. i'm sorry, i did not see you there. i've been doing it my whole life. or there. plus, there are lots of things you can do at home. like, stay active with some sick dance moves. be daring. and whip up a new dish. i love the combination of gummy bears and meat. you can do video calls for all of your important meetings. what? sorry. or just have some fun. ok, not that much fun.
9:44 pm
now, this does not come naturally to me. but, try to be kind to each other. this is a tough time for everyone. so that's it. stay home. stay healthy. and remember, we're all in this together. what? but totally separate. you know what i mean. yaaaaay! ♪ >> 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 thru, blocking traffic. he was drunk. the police were called. it should have been a textbook dui arrest. that didar not happen. and video shows it was not the fault of the police. you are going to watch it in a moment. you will see the police in this case were unfailingly polite with brooks. when they tried to arrest him, brooks attacked them and in the end paid with his life. >> hey, sir, are you all right?
9:45 pm
you are sitting in the driving line here. >> i've had a few drinks, that is it. >> how many? >> one and a half. i was into the second cup. i said let's go, i'm hungry. >> what kind of drinks did you have? >> i'm not sure. something she ordered. i'm ready to go. >> so you had about 1.5 drinks. you don't remember what kind? >> no, sir. >> i think you've had too much to drink to be driving. put your hands behind your back. put your hands behind your back. hey, stop fighting! stop fighting! stop fighting! you are going to get tased! you are going to get tased! stop! you are going to get tased! you are going to get tased! >> .
9:46 pm
stop fighting! >> tucker: rayshard brooks' was a tragedy, all deaths are a tragedy, but it was not the fault of the two police officers. there is not a single american of any background, of any color who could attack two cops, 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,
9:47 pm
all of which they believe serves them. they are inflaming the country as much as they can. stacey abrams who pretends to be the governor of georgia said he was murdered because he was asleep in a drive through. that is a lie. on cnn attorney angela rice said 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 see. >> that is not fair. he was asleep in a car parking lot. he ran andif he realized his lie 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 t believe cnn would allow someone on television in the middle of a crisis like this when thehe
9:48 pm
country is on edge and divided to say something that ludicrous, that false, that inflammatory that is certain to deepen racial divisions, and yet many people are saying this. atlanta's police chief has resigned. saturday night an 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 said he could be charged with murder in this case. no doubt facing enormous political pressure to bring charges, lest the city see moree rights just like minneapolis did. this is what happens when you empower them all. justice dies, civilization ends. victor davis hanson at the hoover institution joins us tonight. you watched this dynamic. you have seen it before. describe what we are looking ate if you would. >> we are right in the middle of a cultural revolution where we can't look for logic ande rationality. so in the police logic, the only way to get out of this dilemma.
9:49 pm
who wants to go into this type of condition and arrest somebody for a dui? it's a lose-lose proposition. so when the police mentality, here is a sequence of events they would have to follow in revolutionary times. they probably have toli say, sorry, if there's somebody drunk and will 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 did go.th 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, i will not hassle. just go. if they decided not to do that and when mr. brooks hit the police, they would have had to say 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 had 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. wewe let them go. if they didn't do that, they decided to chase a suspect and when the suspect turned around and looked like he was going to shoot them with a taser, they were going to have to say, it's part of our job 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 is too many 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 come on television at night and say, these are the statistics of black males, 7,000 tragically killed. and here is the incidence of people unarmed that are both black and white shot by the police per year. here are 10 million arrests, 3 million contacts, 25% of those
9:51 pm
shocked by the police are african-american, 50% of those arrested. it doesn't matter anymore. we are way beyond that. and we are in a revolutionary time. and all that's going to end is when somebody very powerful, i think white and affluent calls up 911 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 exactlyly right. "me too" 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 t insightful point, not surprisingly, professor, thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: the mob among many other things will outlaww the days of the week next, but for now, they are busy renaming the nation's military bases.

♪ >> tucker: the left is making another push to destroy america's historical legacy, a record of our past. once again they have the republican party helping them. last week the senate armed services backed an amendment proposed by elizabeth warren to change the names of military bases, those named after confederate generals, and to remove a confederate memorial from arlington national cemetery. but giving into a bad idea doesn't make the idea go away. it inflames it and encourages more. in boston, city leaders want to tear down a statue of abraham lincoln. no doubt if they don't, a mob will rip it down as police watch. josh hawley represents the state of missouri, one of the only republicans in washington actively resisting all of this. he joins us tonight.

senator, thank you so much for coming on. >> this is about dividing us and distracting us. that's what this is. we can have a conversation about how to name bases in the country. d to do that, you would talk to the people who live at the bases, the veterans who have served at those bases. you would talk to the local community and involve the stakeholders. o that's not what the democrats want to do. that's not what elizabeth warren wants to do. she wants to mandate it's behind closed doors without open debate or discussion, and the reason is they are trying to divide and whip up a culture war to distract from their failed policies, their globalistiv faid policies that have hollowed out our inner cities and also hollowed out our small-towns for that matter, left people without jobs, without an ability to have a say. they have no answer to that, and they want to talk about anything but their record. >> tucker: you don't think renaming bases or 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 gotol us here or how we're going to turn it around and give working people of all races in this country a fair future and stake in the future.we that's the conversation we need to be having. >> tucker: amen. a distraction designed to sprevent us 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, prepare yourself. the great sean hannity takes over from new york. >> sean: 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, new 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 play it with a warning. meanwhile, anarchy and lawlessness reigns supreme in seattle. the police precinct there has been abandoned by city officials. another precinct in minneapolis was burned to the ground a few weeks ago and riots that had
