yeah. yeah, i could see that. for those who were born to ride, there's progressive. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." we spent an awful lot of time over the past few weeks trying to figure out and then explain what's happening to our country. at times it's been depressing but it seems important. at this point it's pretty clear that nothing is what we are told it is. these are not protests. this is not about george floyd. it's not about systemic racism, whatever that is. america is not a racist country. you are not a bad person for living here. these are definitely not protesters. they're not even rioters. they are the armed militia of the democratic party. they're working to overthrow our system of government, they're trying to put themselves in power. that's all obvious now.

it's genuinely sinister. we're worried about it, we've said that, we mean it. 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 you watched set fire to wendy's and topple statues and scream at you on television there day after day are truly and t utterly stupid. this probably never been a dumber group gathered in onero place that all of american history. their mouth breathers. they know nothing. they couldn't tell you who george washington was. they don't know when the civil war was fought. probably not even to the centu century. they say they oppose racism and they worked on monuments toey abolitionists. they don't see the contradiction and that because they have no idea the abolitionists were. they think it's a band from the '80s. a lot of the very stupidest people, by the way, are "well-educated." they have all the worthless credentials that we are told we should want our children.

they went to duke! they work at some nonprofit! they hold a good paying job in digital marketing at nike. yeah, they're supposedly impressive, but the not impressive at all. they're incredibly dumb. 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 oft. everything. in california, hispanic utilities 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 him. poor guy. in oakland, mayor libby schaaf to claim she went to college and law school, wow, mistook exercise equipment in a park for ku klux klan nooses. then held a press conference to hyperventilate about hate crim hate crimes. talk about textbook hysteria. but it was also hysterically funny. for people this neurotic, life is one long horror movie. they squirm in their seats, paralyzed by fear.

even the simplest and most obvious decisions become impossible to make. they're tooo afraid. "the new york times" just profiled the group of people just like this, sympathetically, of course. this group lives in an affluent part of minneapolis. after watching hours of cnn, they pledged to stop calling the police. calling the police, they decided, was racist. so they didn't call police. almost immediately hundreds of mentally ill homeless drug addicts showed up and erected a tent camp in their park. then prostitutes arrived. meanwhile, neighbors cowered in their own homes unable to sleep. one resident, a man called mitchell erickson, found himself cornered by two thugs who put a gun into his stomach and demanded his car keys. erickson finally broke down, he called the police.ow and then he deeply regretted it. "i put those boys in danger of death by calling the cops,

erickson told the paper," apparently not joking. for the rest of us, the question is can people this damaged, this week actually run a country? and the answer is no, of course not. and we definitely should not let them, but in the meantime, we also should not pass up an opportunity to let them amuse us.he because they do. and for that we are joined tonight by our old friend mark steyn. it's great to see you tonight. have you ever, and your water of the passing -- have you ever seen a group of people this abjectly stupid? >> no, and it's interesting, talker. there have been revolutions throughout history in which a very evil person's have participated, but i'm not sure the march of the morons isn't actually more dangerous, because what happens, you can be entirely arbitrary. you might just have too big a bow on your hair and it gets

mistaken for a noose. that happened a couple of years ago. i think it was the university of wisconsin, the president of that college rebuked two ladies who had gone and gotten official at a spa and then posted pictures of themselves and all that gunk and goo and she had mistaken it for blackface and launched a full inquiry. exfoliating seaweed wrap can expose you. if it's not racial discrimination, its facial discrimination and we know all these people and seaweed wraps are just one step away from breaking out into a whole medley of songs, but this is a lunatic -- an actual march of the morons from coast to coast. it's actually tragic. what it is i think is a kind of civilizational regime change because when you actually tear people away, you uproot them from their entire civilizational

inheritance, then there completely on board, have nothing to cling to, are rooted in nothing and so destroying this poor old norwegian abolitionists statue seems entirely reasonable to them. >> tucker: i think that's exactly right. and it is a cliche, but in this case it's so true. the most fanatical, the most brainwashed, the dumbest, in other words, of these mobs, tend to be the ones who went to brown and wesley an end duke. duke. why is it i never see any hvac repairman pulling statues down? >> well, i think we have -- i think we live in an age of stupid elites. this is the kind of leisurely varsity -- six and a half years to finish a bachelor's degree in transgender and colonialism studies, but in the 19th century you would have to have been the seventh son of a minor european grand duke to enjoy.

now people have expanded it so that the upper-middle-class go to university essentially to learn the correct attitudes. and by the correct attitudes they mean entirely insane attitudes. this is an essentially elite revolt against the masses. >> tucker: that is exactly right. so let's think through where we are going. so if city leaders and republicans on capitol hill are not willing to protect the monuments we have, the statutes we have, obviously where going to have to move at some point the next debate, what should we replace the toppled statues with?eb we thought this through for a second and here's a suggestion or two. abraham lincoln freeing a slave is now racist and everyone on the left is telling us that. what if we replace that with another landmark moment in race relations, joe biden defeating corn pop? >> corn pop was a bad dude and he ran a bunch of bad boys and to cut off a 6-foot length of chain, he pulled up and said you

walk out with that chain. and you walk at a car and say you may cut me man but i'm going to wrap this chain around her head. i said you're kidding me. he said no, if you don't, don't come back, and he was right, so i walked out with the chain. >> tucker: you can just picture this, joe biden holding corn pop's chain aloft like a heavyweight champion, like the best in detroit. what about a christopher columbus, obviously no longer allowed, we need to replace them because that's how categories matter t now, where nominating tonight, michael avenatti. instead of celebrating him, his statutes get off of the rest of us a warning, carry a massive clock symbolizing, and this is true for all of us, his fleeting 15 minutes of fame. i was the work building a statue like this in every american city, but we put it outside cnn first.bu those are our suggestions, you're more creative, do you have any ideas?

>> well they would like to see, because i think it gets to the heart of this moment, i love the fake hate crimes. everyone loves a fake a crime. they are fun for one and all and i would love to see a massive statue of smollett 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. any money spared on the may. so i want a huge meatball sub with giant stones representing the meatballs swirling around in the polar vortex as he is clubbed by the nigerian brothers that he hired to do it. i love that. by the way, that teddy roosevelt one in new york, teddy should be gone, the two other guys should be gone. most of the horse should be gone, but theyy should leave behind legs and the horse's butt on top of it to represent the

silence of conservative institutions during this great assault on western civilization. >> tucker: horse's ass statue. >> we don't need a new statue, just represent all the conservative institutions you've given money to for the last three decades for all the good they've done in this situation. >> tucker: here's to you, a bronze horse's butt as you lecture america about its racism as institutions collapse. mark steyn, that is the best idea i've heard all week, god bless you for coming on tonight, thank you. >> thanks a lot, tucker. >> tucker: the nascar news incident was yet another fake hate crime. the question is, who was more disappointed by the outcome, bubba wallace, the nascar driver, or the media figures who jumped into tell us this was the next turning point in the march toward civil rights? we will tell you next. ♪

pulled on a garage door.d yet even after we discovered this, last night on cnn, bubba wallace tried to keep the outrage going.la >> if using ropes like that hanging from garages mike is that typical? >> the damage that i have and i have seen about was hanging in my garage is not a garage loop. from the evidence that we have -- that i have -- it's a straight up noose. >> tucker: it wasn't a it was aup noose, great up garage door pole. while he sort of admitted that, he said the noose wasn't what we feared it was. he may have been deeply disappointed to learn that and he can no longer poses a victim, a millionaire race car driver. the press is deeply disappointed too. cnn immediately repeats every bogus hate crime allegation as fact, even before the investigation is done. the covington high school kids,

you name it, and of course this was no exception. >> nascar investigating a shocking incident. the noose found in the garage of driver bubba wallace. >> this could have been one of their own who did something like this and that is what's most concerning to officials here. >> that this happened and they are 2020 just beyond belief. >> a script are of nascar who's been helping in the drive against tate and the confederate flag there. tonight the questions about how someone was able to get inside bubba wallace's garage stall to leave a noose. >> tucker: we get it, so most nascar fans probably not going to vote for joe biden, so we must come under the cover of news, crush, demean them and then send the fbi down. 15 agents to put the fear of go1 into these people. wired to bottom for joe biden? they really went all in on this story. less than an hour before was exposed as fake, msnbc was telling you that anyone who was skeptical of this at all wasn't just wrong, but morally deprav

depraved. >> you have a conservative reaction to bubba wallace, which said this is lavishly fabricated, it's obviously fantasy. tell me a little bit about what you think about that and whether -- the same way that i found the solidarity so moving, i find the reaction incredibly infuriating. >> we always have to convince a certain segment of the population that what we are catching is actually real. and the reason why we have to do that is because we have to confront this world of make-believe, this willful ignorance. >> tucker: this world of make-believe. projection, anyone? msnbc anchor al sharpton tonight is still claiming that it's re real. contriving editor to national review online, frequent guest on the show, happy to have a montagnais. good to see you. easy to say you were wrong, you should admit it, apologize, but maybe we are being too literal. listening to some of this stuff, it really feels like radio rwanda. it feels like the media trying to gin up -- i'm serious, like

why are they doing -- why are they doing this? why is it so important to prove that america is a bad place and that nascar fans are racist? >> well, couple things. her charitable i guess you could say the supper from what i call a rush to misjudgment, they see something like this and immediately assume the worst rather than waiting for the fbi or the police or anybody else to do any kind of investigation and they just rush to these terrible conclusions. the other is as you suggest, they are so deeply embedded and almost enthralled by the notion that america is a completely racist society, but we are just moments away from the return of jim crow, the ku klux klan is around every corner and that we need to demonstrate to people that this terrible terrible systemic t institutionalized racism is just erupting all around us. and yet you find with one example after another, this one, covington, there was a case of a student at bowling green state said she believed there was a ku klux klan meeting happening in s the classroom as she saw st of a white sheet, sunday under sheet.

he looked into it, it was a w piece of lab equipment, a protective cloth over it, soak time and time and time again is awful racist stories turn out to be flimsy, phony or totallymp nonexistent and unfortunately a lot of people seem to be very invested and wishing that they were true. >> tucker: there always a better, group, catholic group in kentucky, i flipped in british and liberal neighborhoods a lot of malaise for the height of the covid hysteria, all the liberals in my neighborhood were totally fine with their gardeners andei housekeepers putting themselves in mortal risk to come serve them. no one ever called that racist, i noticed. if nobody ever out democratic voters for what actually might be racism, why is that? >> you don't see that. if you have these people just assuming the worst about their fellow americans and what i find amazing about this and really very heartwarming as with the reaction was to this bubba wallace situation. even some but he put a noose in his garage, look with the response was. it was in the races nascar drivers in the bigoted nascar

owner same get the message, get out of our all-white sport, but the exactly the opposite happened. the nascar officials announced this. they said we agree with bubba wallace, no more confederate flag that nascar events and had this very moving event, i think it was on sunday or monday wher they pushed his car along, the drivers, owners, other luminaries and nascar marched behind his car. richard petty, age 82, come out of retirement go up and hugged bubba wallace. this would be roughly equivalent -- not exactly but it roughly equivalent to babe ruth going up and hugging jackie robinson after he broke the color line of baseball back in 1948. you didn't see a racist response, you saw a massive antiracist response by essentially an overwhelming white, s overwhelmingly southern and probably very conservative group of people and that's what we ought to celebrate. i think is the glass half-full or half-empty on racism, i think where don's the last few drops of racism and your people on the left, the glass of water werend old faithful, the big guys are just gushing all might and all day long. >> tucker: nicely put, these

are people of goodwill and decency and the left uses their goodwill and decency against them, which is the saddest part of all. >> two win elections, that's the worst part of it. >> tucker: that's exactly right. this is transactional. it's an election year. >> good to see you. >> tucker: one of our conservative -- john roberts, for example, just delivered a ruling enshrining transgender rights of the federal level. we never voted on that, we will never have a national referendum on that, but it has a lot of effects. for example, what does that mean for women who want to play sports against other women and not be beaten by biological males? it's a real question, if you have daughters, you know that. we will explore it after the break. ♪ now, simparica trio simplifies protection.

it's simple: go with simparica trio. this drug class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including seizures; use with caution in dogs with a history of these disorders. protect him with all your heart. simparica trio. >> tucker: we spent some time on this show looking into very tough spot many female athletes find themselves in.

increasingly, they find themselves forced to compete at a great disadvantage with biological men. >> you're in a race, took a biological males were allowed to compete and you didn't make it by two slots, is that correct? >> yes, it is. i came eighth place in the top six qualified for the regional new england beat and if those two athletes weren't competing, have been the sixth girl and i would have moved on and advanced. >> tucker: the girl you just saw, has come along with two other women, sued for the right to compete in women's sports against other biological women. but they are amazingly fighting an uphill battle. the judge in that case, robert, has banned the girl's attorneys from describing biologically male athletes trying to compete in women's sports as males. he's also refused to recuse himself because he just doesn't care. here's another problem. a supreme court decision last week written by justicee neil gorsuch massively expanded the scope of federal law

regulating transgender issues. the question is, it's particularly cute if you have daughters, will women's sports exist? kristin wegner is the general counsel and senior vp -- we are happy to have her on time. thanks for coming on. so what does this mean exactly? >> well, our clients have lost opportunities, spots, metals and other types of opportunities because the connecticut schools have allowed to call male athletese to take 15 different state championships away from ninere girls. so you're right that we are deeply concerned about this and concerned that the log reflects reality. that biology matters and recognizing that is not bigotry. >> tucker: and girls matter. that's what we are told. girls matter, wayne matter, their experience matter, their achievements matter. that's beaten into our heads, and by the way, i agree with it. but now we are told to shut up,

they don't matter at all, what is going on? >> again to recognize that biology matters, the law should reflect biological distinction. as an athlete myself, and a daughter who i dissipate well, we know that first of all, science and common sense tells us that men, boys, who reach puberty no matter what kind of hormones or testosterone have, girls will never be able to compete at that level. an interesting fact that i read today was 275 high school boys are able to score a faster time against the best female olympic sprinter. so we know that these differences matter and that girls deserve an equal playing field. >> tucker: so, it's interesting, it's not just that biological men are competing against women. it's that they're winning and that's really the most unfair part of it.

and winning on a wide scale, correct? this is not something that's happened three times. >> you're absolutely right. it's happening in all kinds of different segments of our society, but i would say the low hanging right now for activists on the left is the athletic field and when to make sure that we protect that view. not only for the benefits that athletes can have for scholarships and advancements in opportunities, but also just being able to compete produces. 96% of all women ceos were athletes. this type of competition is good and if we want to have true diversity in our society, we should recognize that in terms of recognizing the differences between men and women. those are good things. >> tucker: it's inherently healthy to be outside competing athletically. it's better than being on snapchat even. i don't want to blow your mind or anything. obviously having spent a lot of time on female athletes myself, i know that girls are into it. if they're into it and if you take away their opportunities,

if you cheat them out of their victories, it hurts them. is anyone listening to them, to their voices in this? >> they are listening to them and we've been excited about some of the opportunities that have developed. at first thesese girls were loan girls standing alone. their teammates all the same way we didn't have the courage to speak. others have said i agree, but i don't have the courage to speak. but thankfully in this particular case, the department of justice has come in and filed briefs on their behalf. we have a department of education issue findings in their favor. we even have radical feminists speaking out on their behalf, including j.k. rowling, who came out on the last couple of weeks and said i know i'm going to tickets for this, but you know what, this is about being a woman and no matter how any man feels, that man is not a womanls and certainly not when it comes to issues of safety, privacy and of email competition. >> tucker: that's exactly right. if progress means crushing little girls, it's not progress

actually, it's bullying, its cruelty, it'set disgusting and o society can ignore it to forever. sorry, it can. thanks so much for your braveryh i know you take a lot of abuse for it. >> well thank you, i appreciate yours as well, tucker. >> tucker: thank you. the best-selling book my country right now, in case you haven't checked the rankings is not a spy thriller, it's not a younge adult fantasy novel. it's a short political book called "white fragility." soon it may be required reading at your children's school, it may be already. so what does that say? we read it and we have a report after the break. ♪ bottom line is,

♪ >> tucker: the best-selling book in america last week wasn't anything by j.k. rowling. it wasn't book called "white a fragility." it's a hit, and not a small head. it sold so many copies in the paperback edition is out of stock on amazon. schools and companies across the country are ordering it in bulk. nbc and harvard business school are pushing it. this fall, white fragility iss

likely to be required reading at your children's school. youur may be soon to told to sty it on a corporate retreat so it's worth knowing what it is buried what's it about exactly? we read the book and we will sum it up for you. "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 is. robin d'angelo tells people this for a living. she's a professional antiracist educator. she shuttles between schools and boardrooms telling people that their dna make them evil. she makes big money doing this. last year for example, the university of kentuckyla publicy funded paid her $12,000 for two hours. the school code of use that money to give poor black kids education, but instead the hand of the cash, that's more than 30 but the the average american makes in a year, to a not very

bright white lady to tell them they're racist. in other words, robin d'angelo has a very good gig. not everybody likes her message, telling people there racist is fine if they actually aree racist. but what if they're not racist?t most people in this country are not. let's see, how would you like it if someone called you a child molester or a wife beater? he probably wouldn't like it very much. in fact, you could lose your job for that, who's your friends, even as her family. you might feel pretty threatened by that accusation.ie that means are guilty of racism. feeling threatened his definitive proof that you are racist. your defensive, you've got white fragility. hence the title of the book. by the way, if you're not threatened when someone publicly denounces you as racist, that is also proof that you are racist. either way, myha friend, you ara racist. logic is clearly not robin d'angelo's specialty. my as literate writing or clear

thinking. she has a complete and total idiot. that's one thing you learned by the end of her book. and yet our leaders treat her with great respect. they think she's a genius. that tells you everything about them and also the moment we are living in. the dumbest people suddenly have the most power. in the book, she goes on to make a number of other ridiculously false claims, laughably false. some of them are so obviously the opposite of what is actually true, you got to imagine she was grinning as she typed the manuscript. will they believe this? yes. in america, she writes "we are socially penalized for challenging racism." really? where and how? the country the rest of us live in, the united states of america, hates racism. hating racism is effectively our national religion. every organization we have is organized to stamp it out. commit racism and the fbi shows up. come on, it's just too absurd to be real. but she isn't really trying to

convince anyone. the real point of her book is to defeat and demoralize you. she claims that everything you really want, 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 safeway neighborhood? your racist but i. if you want to send your kid for a decent school? you are racist for that. all of your dreams are racist and the only way to atone for this racism is to give up those dreams, to abandon your aspirations and make sure that your familyy lives a much worse life. for white people, diangelo writes, "discomfort is necessary and important." needless to say, diangelo does not address the millions of white people in this country who are you live in perpetual discomfort because they are impoverished. she doesn't mention i the entire counties in rural america were virtually no adult man has a a full-time job, where there are no dentists because no one can afford to go to the dentist. robin diangelo has never met people like that, no doubt she would hate them if she did.

instead, diangelo's book is effectively addressed to entitled urban professionals as silly and frivolous and self-loathing as she is. in diangelo's world, economics play no role in anything. they don't matter. everyone she knows has a high status job and a secure job. w they're not worried about unemployment. they don't care about income inequality. there on the right side of it. these heart problems for them. remember diangelo herself gets paid $6,000 in our to talk. she's not concerned about paying the rent. and in fact, diangelo explains at one point, worrying about economic injustice is just another symptom of, brace yourself here, racism, probe, white fragility. edit? maybe are starting to understand what corporate america absolutely loves this book. why? because robin diangelo absolves them of their crimes. apple and health insurers and at credit card companies get off scot-free because the real problem, robin diangelo tells

them, is white racism, and what a relief that is for them toci learn. $6,000 an hour is a small indulgence to pay for that kind of forgiveness. thank you, reverend diangelo, we appreciate the house call. in sum, white fragility is an utterly ridiculous book. it's ironies are so profound they make your head spin. a book about racism that is far more aggressively racist than anything louis farrakhan has ever written. a book that claims to side with black people but instead picture sizes them and demeans them like their children. a book about systemic injustice that is in fact itself a sly defense of the very people perpetuating the worst injustices in our society. everything about white fragility is poisonous garbage and that's not an overstatement. and it will be obvious to you the second your kids bring it home fromth school. for the moment the corporate hr director in your office lives up copy of it on your desk and you should say so when that happens. don't be passive, speak up

loudly.,ak it is your right to disagree with robin diangelo, what she says is wrong, it's crazy, it's destructive and implements hatred. we are americans. we are allowed to do that. the second we are forced to accept the premises ofof white fragility we won't be americans. by the way, the main reason that crackpot racetrack like white fragility and many books like it spread so rapidly in this country is because of american higher education. they are filled with rot and that brought spreads. even our public hatred, k-12 schools -- makes them hostile. tomorrow we will have a guest on fuchs lane just howav deep the t has gone. not a segment you want to miss. up next, for weeks, writers have targeted and destroyed statues and public art, almost all of them have avoided any punishment at all. it not because the law is on their side, it's not. there are many laws criminalizing what we are watching them do, so why is the

department justice using laws to protect the country they are o sworn to protect? interesting question. that's next. and then, also not a small story, breaking news tonight about ufos in america. which appeared to be real. straight ahead. ♪ .

>> tucker: the rioters currently destroying your cities don't care about the civil war. i don't know when it took place. they don't care about racism. they don't care about george floyd. what they hate is very clear, they hate your country.at they hit its past, its people, its culture, everything about it. they want to destroy it and put in charge of it. last night in madison, wisconsin, rioters went on a rampage in the state capital. the spark for the right was the arrest of a young man who entered a restaurant and began berating people and threatening them. >> [inaudible]

>> tucker: i got a bat. you would have called the police also walls t what minimum unknon mob would've pronounced yours racist for doing it but who cares? you have a right to eat dinner without being threatened with violence, right? right. as they rampaged, the mob then toppled the statue of a man called hans christian. a diehard abolitionist who died fighting against the confederacy. they didn't know that becauseie their morons, their leaders don't care, they just hate the country. the statue was ripped down anyway had dumped into the lake. the real problem of course was that represented the past.ro the mob then turned and assaulted a democratic state senator who was walking by. >> [inaudible]

>> tucker: they went too far, they assaulted democrat. that's not allowed. these are all militias, what are you doing, guys?p pullback. wisconsin's governor is out to punish the people behind that assault. finally. radio show host jason joins us to discuss this -- our top correspondent, good to see you tonight. it does seem all these things are going unpunished, the people who call the police are themselves punished for doing that, people who try to take on statues are threatened with arrest but here you have a mob accidentally beats up a democrat, and by the way, i couldn't be more against that, to be totally clear, but that's the bridge too far? >> it is weird, because when you think about what they decided to do in wisconsin, it is so ironic. it number one, state senator tim carpenter is gay, he has a progressive. this is someone who has spoken out on the side of peaceful protesters and then all of a sudden you see that this is the

guy that gets taken down and then as you point out, a guy who is an immigrant, who fought against slavery and simply because he's part of the past, they decide to decapitate the statue and throw it in the lake. what is especially alarming is when you talk too some of the folks who were behind some of this activism, number one they either say it's old, it doesn't represent progress, we are going to take it down or they simply don't know. they just view all of these statues without any kind of context. and so they just told we're supposed to be angry at the stuff. that looks like a white dude on a statue. that clearly means what's a pharmacy. let's go ahead and take down the statue. it's absolutely absurd. >> tucker: if it's a statue of marionberry in washington, d.c., terrible mayor, i would defend it. it's not up to a bunch of morons from antifa, what are public art looks like and what our monuments are, that's the voters decision. i don't care who the guy was. this is insanity. so what's happening and chopped?

>> so when it comes to trap, we are now at a point where we seem -- we believe to see a slow down of the activism. there is a smaller group that's still there. they are choosing to hang out and still try to keep this east precinct, this police station under their control. at the same time we are now hearing a separate group that is sort of within chop that wants to go down too potentially take over the stadium. we may be having a conversation in the next coming days of those same groups trying to take over a tourist destination for seattle to be fair right now no one is actually using because of the coronavirus. we just had a weekend full of violence, four people shot, one person dead including, by the way, not only a 19-year-old who was murdered but a 17 year old who was shot in the arm and no one seems to want to talk to detectives about what's going on. and ask yourself why that is. are these the peaceful protesters that people are pretending aren't actually violent? or is there may be just maybe progressive's, a part of this movement that we should not be

backing. there seems to be this with the to pretend that everybody was out there is purposely peaceful tebecause they don't want the peaceful protesters to be defined by the chaos in the instigators. you're not doing yourself any favor. i'm in favor of all of the peaceful protesters. i'm okay with it. i may disagree with what they're saying but peacefully protesting, that is your right. what's going on, whether it's in wisconsin or here in washington state is just one step too far or ten steps too 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 and a lot of normal nice people live there. are they leaving? >> there are a lot of people who have decided not just to leave seattle, in some cases they aret leaving the state of washington. they look to idaho and they say, okay, that's a place that's family-friendly, it's clean, it's sane, let's maybe go there and raise our family. >> tucker: it's also sad. jason, good to see you. >> thank you. >> tucker: as we've noted

before and rising frustration and total bewilderment, republicans on capitol hill havd remained silent as mobs roamed the country, desecrating our monuments and destroying our history. finally that seems to be changing a little bit. congressman jim banks of indiana is writing a bill to protect monuments to our founders. the banks bill would make it a federal crime to destroy or deface statues of the men who signed the declaration of independence or any former president. good for him. what's distressing to learn is that federal law already protects our war memorials. no one is enforcing the law. that's why so many monuments to our fallen soldiers have been vandalized. we shouldn't be surprised that the laws not enforced because there are dozens upon dozens of federal laws against what the democratic party's militias are now doing to our country. there are federal statutes against arson underwriting and criminal conspiracy all the way up to laws against terrorism, which this definitely is. but the justice department has decided to i ignore all of these laws, and leave them unenforced. instead, doj has spent its time

dispatching 15 fbi agents to talladega to invest in another meaningless news hoax. at least you know where they stand. ♪ >> tucker: while this may be the strangest year in the lifetime of anyone still breathing, 2020, it could get even stranger. it turns out the chaos here on earth has not brought an end to unusual sites above us in the sky. last week in california, an eyewitness observed about 100 small white orbs hovering above. weather balloons, birds, something more? we don't know. we might know more if we had more information from the pentagon. they've been studying ufos 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 our intelligence agencies.

and that's very odd. at least conceivably ufos may not be from space. no one at the pentagon believes this, they think they are from space, but at least within the well of possibility they could be from china or another one of this country effectiveness enemies, so we should findth ou. this week the senate intelligence committee took a step towards fixing that. they voted to require -- to compile and release a detailed report expanding everything it knows about unexplained aerial phenomenon. we hope that happens.th we have no faith that it actually will, but we are rooting for it and of course if and when a report does come out, you will hear about it here first. for many years, you've heard people say it's just ufo craziness, that was our position too. but it's not all craziness, there are things we don't know and that we also know that our authorities enthusiastically lie to us, so it's worth pressing we are out of time. amazingly. we are about 15 seconds from

turning the show over to, this is our nightly quiz game, to whom? you guessed it, the great sean hannity, who is standing by live in new york. >> sean: no, i'm actually in the swamp. i'm in the sewer, where you are. so, we are in the same spot, except different studios. tucker, thank you. great show, as always. i would love to get the hell out of here. because i can feel the swampiness. welcome to "hannity," live from the washington swamp. tonight, we have major breaking news. 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. everything we've said about general michael flynn has been accurate, it has been factual, it has been true, and everything the media mob reported has been lies, smears, slander, besmirchment, conspiracy
