tucker carlson is coming up next, good night, everybody. ♪ ♪ a >> tucker: a good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." we spent an awful lot of time over the past few weeks to try to figure out and explain what's happening to our country. at times it's been depressing but it seems important. at this point it seems pretty clear that nothing is what we are told it is. this is not about protests, it's not about george floyd or systemic racism, america is not a racist country. you are not a bad person for living here. these are definitely not protesters and they are not writers. they are working to overthrow the government and trying to put

themselves in power. but in the process of saying that, we may have missed something else that is also true as well as highly amusing. these people are idiots, for real. the angry children that you watched set fire to wendy's and topple statues and scream at you on television day after day are truly and utterly stupid. this probably never been a dumber group gathered in one place and all of american history. they are mouth breather's. they know nothing. they couldn't tell you who george washington was. they say they oppose racism and they rip down monuments to four abolitionists. they have no idea who the abolitionists were. i think it's a band for the 80s. the stupidest people are "well

educated. and they hold a good paying job at digital. they are supposedly impressive but they are not impressive at all. they fall for any lie no matter how preposterous, the more preposterous the more likely they are to fall for it. and like small children they are afraid of everything. in california hispanic utility worker made the mistake of cracking his knuckles at a red light. the geniuses thought he was flashing a white supremacist gang sign so they fired on him. in oakland, libby schaaf claims she went to college and law school, she mistook exercise equipment in a park for ku klux klan nooses. then there was a press conference about hate crimes. talk about textbook hysteria, but it was also hysterically funny. for people come up this neurotic life is one long horror movie.

they squirm in their seats paralyzed by fear. they are too afraid, and that's just like this, sympathetically. this group lives in the affluent park of minneapolis. calling the police they decided was a racist. so they didn't call police. almost infinitely hundreds of mentally ill homeless drug addicts showed up and erected a tent park. and people overdosed. and they found themselves cornered by two thugs put a gun into his stomach and demanded his car keys. so finally broke down and called police.

apparently not joking. can people this damaged and this week actually run a country? the answer is no, of course not. and we definitely should not let them. in the meantime we also should not pass up an opportunity to let them amuse us because they do. and for that, we are joined tonight by our old friend mark steyn. have you ever, and you are a watcher of the passing parade and have been for decades, i've ever seen a group of people this objectively stupid? >> now. it's interesting tucker, and there have been revolutions throughout history in which very evil persons have participated in. what happens is that you could be entirely arbitrary, too big

of a bow on your hair ribbon and i think it was the university of wisconsin, and, going and getting some exfoliating seaweed wrap. and that can expose you if it's not racial discrimination, its racial discrimination. we know all of these people and seaweed wraps are just one step away from breaking out into a whole medley of mommy songs. this is a lunatic. an actual march of the from coast-to-coast. it's actually tragic. what it is, is, i think a kind of civilizational regime change. when you actually tear people

away, you uproot them from their civilizational, so destroying this poor old norwegian statue seems entirely reasonable to them. >> tucker: i think that's exactly right and it is a cliche but in this case it's true. the most fanatical, the most brainwashed and the dumbest of these mods tend to be the ones who went to brown and wesley and the duke. i never see any repairman pulling statues down. i think we live in an age of stupid elites. this is the kind of leisurely, and in the 19th century he would have have to been this son of

the grand duke to enjoy. if no people have expanded it so that the upper-middle-class go to the university to essentially learn the correct attitudes. and they mean entirely insane attitudes. let's think through where we are going. obviously we have to move to at some point in the next debate, what should we replace the toppled statutes with? joe biden defeating corn pop. >> corn pop was a bad dude and he ran a bunch of bad boys and a

cut off a 6-foot length of chain and he pulled up and said he walked out with that chain and you walk much of that car and say you make cut me, but i'm going to wrap this chain around your head. is that you are kidding me. he said no, and if you don't come back then i was right. >> can you imagine joe biden holding corn pops chain aloft like a heavyweight champion, like the fifth in detroit? or what about christopher columbus, obviously no longer allowed, we need to replace him because ethnic categories matter now. you can carry a massive clock symbolizing his fleeting 15 minutes of fame. obviously not worth building a statue like this and every american city but we put it outside of cnn first.

do you have any ideas? >> i would like to see because i think it gets to the heart of this moment. i love vacate crimes, but i would love to see and massive statue of jesse's mullet being beaten up by the two nigerian brothers he hired when he went out to get a meatball sub at 2:30 in the morning during a polar vortex. and i want a huge meatball sub with giant stones representing the meatball swirling around in the polar vortex as he is clubbed by the nigerian brothers. by the way, that teddy roosevelt won in new york, teddy should be gone. the two other guys should be gone and most of the horse should be gone. they should leave behind legs and the horses bottom on top of

it to represent the silence of conservative institutions during this great assault on western civilization. we don't need -- just leave behind behind legs and the representing the institutions you giv given money. and that it's the best idea i've heard all week. god bless you for coming on tonight, thank you. >> tucker: the nascar noose incident is another vacate crime. the question is, it was more disappointed by the outcome? bubba wallace, or the media figures who jumped in to tell us this is the next turning point in the march toward civil rights.

i will tell you next. you doing okay?

almost every other recent news turned out to be, not the news at all. it turned out to be up and wrote that post on a garage door. bubba wallace tried to keep the outrage going. >> the image that i had and that i had seen of what was hanging in my garage was not our garage pole. the evidence that i have, it's a straight up noose. >> tucker: it wasn't a straight up news, it was a straight up garage door pole. and today while he sort of admitted that he said the news wasn't what we feared it was. he may have been deeply disappointed to learn that he can no longer poses the victim. cnn immediately repeats every bogus hate crime as fact even before the investigation was done.

and of course that was no exception. >> nascar investigating a shocking incident. >> this could have been one of their own who did something like this and that's what is most concerning to the people here. >> that's been helping to drive the hate and confederate flag there. tonight the questions about how someone was able to get inside of bubba wallace's garage stall to leave a noose. >> tucker: we get it. most nascar fans are probably not going to vote for joe biden's we must under the cover of news crush and demean them. and then, send the fbi down 15 agents to put the fear of god into these people. why aren't you voting for joe biden? they really went all in on this story. less than an hour before it was exposed, it wasn't just wrong

but morally depraved. >> you have a conservative reaction to bubba wallace who says this is obviously fabricated and obviously fantasy. tell me a little bit about what you think about that and i find of the reaction infuriating. >> we always have to convince a certain segment of the population that the hill that we are catching israel. >> in this world of make believe it's willful ignorance. >> al sharpton this claiming that it's real. tori murdock, we are happy to have you again tonight. watch it look -- obviously it's easy to say, you were wrong, you should admit and apologize. it really feels like radio rwanda. it feels like the media trying

to gin up -- like why are they doing this. why are they -- why is it so important to prove that america is a bad place and that it happens at nascar races. >> they immediately assume the worst rather than waiting for the fbi or the police or anyone to do any kind of investigation and the rush of these terrible conclusions. the other is, the ku klux klan is around every corner and we need to demonstrate to people that there is systemic racism and you find one example after another, there was a student at bowling green state that said she believes there's a ku klux klan meeting happening in the classroom. she saw somebody under a white

sheet. they looked into it and it was a piece of levaquin with the protective cloth over it, so time and time again the awful terrible race of stories turned out to be completely flimsy. it's a catholic school in kentucky, and, all the liberals in my neighborhood are totally fine with their gardeners and housekeepers putting themselves at mortal risk to come serve them. nobody ever calls out democratic voters for what it actually might be racism, and why is th that? >> you have people assuming the worst, and even if someone put the news in his garage, look with the response was.

it wasn't the racist nascar drivers and bigoted nascar on the same get the message and get out of our all-white sport, but exactly the opposite happened. nascar officials denounced this and said we agree with but bubba wallace, no more confederate flags at nascar events and it's very moving event where they pushed his car along, the drivers and owners and marched his car. we had richard petty come out of retirement at age 80 to come up and hug bubba wallace. that's the equivalent of babe ruth hugging jackie robinson after he broke the color line in baseball back in 1948. he didn't see a racist response company saw a massive antiracist response by overwhelmingly white and overwhelmingly southern and probably very conservative group of people. that's what we have to celebrate. is the glass half full or half empty on racism? we are on the last swig of racism and people on the left that act as if the glass of

water were old faithful. >> tucker: nicely put. some people of goodwill and decency on the left gives us their goodwill and decency consent which is the status part of all. and, it's a an election year, we should remember that. one of our conservative judicial appointees, so many are conservative, john roberts for example. you never voted on that. we will never have a national referendum on that, but it has a lot of effects. it's a real question and if you have daughters she would know that. we will explore it after the break. ♪

>> tucker: we spent some time on the show looking into the very tough spot that many female

athletes find themselves and they find themselves forced to compete at a great disadvantage. and you didn't make it by two slots, is that correct? >> that's correct. i came in eighth place and the top six arranged for the new england meat. and we moved on to advanced. >> tucker: the girl you just saw sued for the right to compete in women's sports against other biological women. they are amazingly fighting an uphill battle and the judge in that case robert chapman has banned the girl's attorney from describing biologically male athletes. here's another problem. the supreme court decision

written by justice neil gorsuch massively expanded the scope of federal laws regulating transgender issues. so the question is, and it's a particularly acute if you have daughters, will one's sports exist? and thanks for coming on. what does it mean exactly? because the u have connecticut schools have allowed two male athletes to take 15 different state championships away from nine girls. they say that law affects reality, and their achievements matter, and i agree with it.

>> we have been told that. i have a daughter who anticipate will play in college and i agree it very much matters. and no matter what kind of hormones or testosterone suppressants they have, and that was 275 and, all of those differences matter. they deserve an equal playing field. >> tucker: is not just that biological men are competing against women, it's against

women. winning on a wide scale, correct? this is not something that has happened three times. >> you are absolutely right. this is happening in all kinds of different segments in our society but i would say the low-hanging fruit for activists on the left is the athletic field. we need to make sure we can protect that field. not only the benefits that athletes can have through scholarships and advancements and opportunities, 96% of all women ceos were athletes. this type of competition is good. and if we want to have diversity in our society, in terms of recognizing that incidences among men and women. it's better than being on snap tat.

and girls are into it. are any of them listening to their voices in this? we've been excited about some of the opportunities that have been developed. these girls were three lone girls standing alone and their coteammates thankfully and this particular case the department of justice has come in and filed briefs on their behalf. we had the department of education, and we have radical feminists, and including j.k. rowling who came out and this is about being a woman and no matter how any man feels, that man is not a woman especially when it comes to issues of

safety and privacy and competition. >> tucker: it's bullying. its cruelty and disgusting and no society can ignore nature forever. sorry, can't. thanks so much for your bravery, i know you have taken a lot of abuse for it. >> thank you, i appreciate yours as well, tucker. spain want to. the best-selling book in the country right now is a short political book called "white fragility." soon it may be required reading at your children's school, it may be already. we read it and we have a report after the break. and apoquel's treated over 8 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. aw...that's what friends are for. ask your veterinarian for apoquel next to you, apoquel is a dog's best friend.

>> tucker: at the best-selling book in america last week wasn't anything by j.k. rowling, it was a tract called "white fragility" by robin d'angelo. it was a hit and not a small hit. white fragility has sold so many copies it is out of stock on amazon. schools in countries across country are ordering it in bulk. the ceo of american airlines has recently been photographed reading the book.

if this fall white fragility is likely to be required reading at your children's school. you may soon be told it to study it on corporate retreats. what is it about exactly? we read the book and post limit up for you in four words. white people are racist. not just racist white people, all white people. whether they are six years old or 100 years old, all of them are by definition racist. they are racist because they are white. only white people are racist, no one else's. robin d'angelo tells people this for a living, she's a professional antiracist educator. she shuttles between schools and boardrooms telling people if their dna makes them evil. last year for example the university of kentucky, a publicly funded university paid d'angelo $2,000 in the school could have used that money to give poor black kids the education but instead they handed the cash which is a third

of what americans make in a year. in other words, robin d'angelo has a very big gig. telling people they are racist is fine if they actually are racist. but what if they are not racist? most people in this country or not. how would you like it if someone called you a child molester or a wife beater? you probably wouldn't like it very much. in fact, you could lose your job or your friends. that means you are guilty of racism. feeling threatened is definitive proof that you are a racist, you are defensive. if you have a white fragility, and hence the title of the book. by the way if you are not threatened when someone publicly denounces you as racist, that is also proof that you are a racist. either way my friend, you are a racist. logic is clearly not robin d'angelo specialty and neither

is literate writing or clear thinking. she is a complete and total idiot which is one thing that you will have will learn by the end of her book. yet our leaders treat robin d'angelo with great respect. they think she's a genius. that tells you everything about them and of the moment you are living in. the dumbest people have the most power. in the book, and some of them are soul obviously at opposite of what's actually true, they believe this? yes. we are socially penalized for challenging racism. really? where and how. the united states of america hates racism. every organization we have is organized to stamp it out. commit racism and the fbi shows up. come on, it's too absurd to be real. robin d'angelo isn't really

trying to convince someone. everything you really want to, everything that people of every color really want in every society in the world is a sign of white racism. you want to live in a safe nerve neighborhood? all of your dreams are racism. and the only way to atone for this racism is to give up those dreams. to abandon your aspirations and make sure that your family lives a much worse life. discomfort is necessary and important. needless to say d'angelo does not address the millions of white people in this country who already live in perpetual discomfort because they are impoverished. just to mention entire counties in rural america were virtually no doubt men with a full-time job, where there were no dentists. robin d'angelo has never met people like that and no doubt she would hate them is she dead.

instead her book is effectively addressed to entitled urban professionals as silly and frivolous and self loathing as she is. in d'angelo's world, they don't play a role in anything and they don't matter. they are not worried about unemployment, and these are problems for them. d'angelo herself gets paid $6,000 an hour to talk. she's not concerned about paying the rent, and it's another symptom of racism, white fragility. get it? maybe you are starting to understand why corporate america absolutely loves this book. why? because robin d'angelo absolve them of their crimes. apple and health insurers and credit card companies get off scot-free because the real

problem robin d'angelo tells them is white racism. and what a relief that is to learn. $6,000 an hour is a small indulgence to pay for that kind of forgiveness. thank you reverend d'angelo, we appreciate the call. it's ironing's are so profound, they make your head spin. a book that claims to side with black people but instead patron patronize is and demeans them. it is in fact a slight defense of people prejudice and numerous injustices in our society. everything about white fragility it is poisonous garbage and that is not an overstatement. that will be obvious to you the second your kids bring it home from school or them of the corporate hr director in your office weighs a copy on your desk. and you should say so when it

happens. don't be passive, speak up loudly. it is your right to disagree with robin d'angelo. what she says is wrong, it's crazy and it's destructive ended for men's hatred. we are americans and we are allowed to do that. the second we are forced, we won't be americans. by the way, the main reason that a crackpot racetrack, and it's filled with rot and the rot spreads. even now, providing and tomorrow we will have a guest on to explain just how deep that rod has gone. not a segment that you want to miss. up next, four weeks writers have targeted and destroyed -- rioters have targeted and destroyed statues and works of public art, and it's not because allies on their side, it's not.

so why is the department of justice accusing laws to protect the country they are sworn to protect? interesting question. and also not a smart story, breaking news about ufos in america which appeared to be real. straight ahead. bottom line is,

moms love that land o' frost premium sliced meats have no by-products. [conference phone] baloney! [conference phone] has joined the call. hey baloney here. i thought this was a no by-products call? land o' frost premium. a slice above.

>> tucker: the rioters currently disturbing your city don't care about the civil war when it took place. i don't care about racism, they don't care about george floyd. what they hate is very clear, they hate your country, past, people and culture, they want to put themselves in charge of it. last night in wisconsin writers went on a rampage at the state capital and the spark of the riot, they began berating people. >> why are you are racist?

why are you are racist? and, you would have called the police to at minimum and of course the mob which now is racist for doing it but who cares? this is crazy. if you have a right to eat dinner without being threatened with violence. as a rampage, the mob then toppled a statue of a man called hans christian hecht. he was an immigrant and he died fighting the confederacy but they don't know that because they are. the statue was ripped it down anyway and it dumped into a lake. the real problem was of course that it represented the past. the mob then turned and assaulted a state senator who was walking by.

>> leave my phone alone. >> they went too far. they assaulted a democrat and that's not allowed to come up these are our militias. wisconsin's governor is vowed to punish people behind that assault. the latest from the breakaway nation of chop, he is top correspondent. all these things are going unpunished, the people who call the police are themselves punish themselves and they are threatened with arrest. but now you have a mob and accidentally that beats up a democrat. i couldn't be more against that to be totally clear about that's -- is that the bridge too far? >> i think what they decided to do in wisconsin, it's so ironic. number one, tim carpenter is and is a progressive. and all of a sudden you think that this is the guy that gets

taken down and as you point out, this is a guy who is an immigrant, who fought against slavery and simply because he is part of the past, they decide to decapitate the statue and throw it in the lake. what's especially alarming is when you talk to some of the folks who are behind some of this activism, number one they say it's older, it doesn't represent progress, or they simply don't know. so they just told, we are supposed to be angry at the stuff. that looks like a white dude in a statue and, let's go ahead and take down the statue. it's actually absurd. >> it's statue of marion barry, i would defend it. it's not up to a bunch of from antifa what our public looks like, or what our monuments are, that's a voter's decision. i don't care who the guy was,

this is insanity. >> 100%. so when it comes to chop we are at a point where we believe we have seen a slow down of the activism. it is a smaller group that still there and they are choosing to hang out and still try to keep this east precinct, this and at the same time we are now hearing a psych brick group within chop that wants to go down and potentially take over the space needle. so we may be having a conversation the next coming days of the same groups trying to take over a tourist destination and, we just had a weekend full of violence, for people shot and one person's data. not only a 19-year-old that meetwasmurdered but, a 17-year-t was shot in the arm. ask yourself why that is. are these the peaceful protesters that people are pretending aren't actually violent?

and we pretend that, you don't want the peaceful protesters to be defined by the chaos in the instigators. you are not doing yourself any favors. i'm in favor of all of the peaceful protesters. i'm okay with it, i may disagree with what they are saying but peacefully protesting, that's your right. what's going on here in washington state is just one step too far or ten steps to far. >> tucker: really quickly, i don't know how many of our viewers have been to seattle, it's one of the prettiest cities in the world, are they leaving? >> there are a lot of people who have decided not just to leave seattle but in some cases leaving the state of washington. they look to idaho and they say that's a place's family-friendly, it's clean and it's sane. let's go there and raise our family. we are hearing from businesses talking about leaving as well. well. >> tucker: that's also sad.

as we've noted before and raising frustration and total bewilderment, and finally that seems to be changing a little bit. congressman jim banks for indiana is writing a bill to protect monuments to our founders. at the bank's bill would make it a federal crime to destroy or deface statues of a man who destroyed the statute of independence or any former president, good for him. less distressing to learn is that federal law already protects our war memorials and no one is enforcing that law which is why so many monuments were fallen soldiers have been vandalized. we shouldn't be surprised the law is not enforced because there are dozens upon dozens of federal laws against with the democratic party militias are doing to our country. there are federal statutes against arson and writing and criminal conspiracy all the way up to laws against terrorism which this definitely is. but the justice department has decided to ignore all of these laws and leave them on enforced. instead, the doj has but it's

time dispatching 15 fbi agents to tell degas to investigate yet another meaningless news hoax so at least you know where they stand. >> tucker: this might be the strangest year yet, but it turns out the chaos has not stopped to think lights in the sky. about 100 small white orbs were hovering above. were they balloons or birds or something before, we don't know. we might know more if we had more information from the pentagon, they've been studying your photos carefully for more than a decade. but even now they are keeping what they are finding to themselves and themselves only. there appears to be no systematic sharing of intelligence between the

pentagon and intelligence agencies and that's very odd. at least at least conceivably ufos may not be from space. although the pentagon believes this, they think they are from space but in the realm of possibility that could be from china or another one of this country's enemies, so we should find out. this week the senate intelligence committee took a step towards fixing that and voted to require the defense department to compile and release a detailed report releasing everything it knows about unexplained imperial phenomenon. we hope that happens, we have no faith that it actually will but we are rooting for it. and you have heard it here first. for many years, people have said it's just ufos craziness. we also know that our authorities enthusiastically lied to us. we are out of time,

so it's worth pressing them. we are out of time. time. we are about 15 seconds away from turning our show over to the great sean hannity who is standing by live in new york. >> sean: no, i'm in the swamp. i'm in the sewer where you are. we are in the same spot but in different studios. tucker, thank you. i actually would love to get out of here, to be honest, because i can feel the swampy nest. welcome to >> dagen "hannity" lm the washington swamp. the biggest abuse of power, corruption, scandal in u.s. history. everything we spent three plus years reporting to you, the american people, we have been right. it has been accurate, factual, true. everything the media mob has reported has been lies,
