the sure shot wand extends with a protective shield to target weeds precisely and kill them right down to the root. roundup brand. trusted for over 40 years. we'll see you back here tomorrow night at 7:00. tucker carlson right now. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." tom friedman has been a columnist atco "the new york times" for 25 years.or in that quarter-century, friedman has raised banality and cliche mongering to a kind of art form, like picasso, hean wastes nothing. there's not a single piece of my conventional wisdom floating around washington or new york city the tom friedman hasn't managed to whip into a hasty column at one time or another. naturally our ruling class would love to see him, they read tom friedman on the peloton every morning and feel affirmed. he is as dumb as they are. we refer you to the column this morning because there's no question it's taste of things tf come and very soon. in that column, friedman calls

for joe biden to skip the fall presidential debate. for cover, friedman adds a couple silly caveats. biden should only consider debating, he writes, if donald trump releases years ofco his personal tax returns andsi then agrees to have a panel of picked journalists set on stage to call him a liar a in real-time. otherwise, no debating. turns out tom friedman is not really a genius with pretty habits what's going on here. this is the most cynical election strategy ever devised ever perpetrated on american d voters. hide the candidates until election day. the country can find out what's in the administration after it's in power but until then no appearing in public and my god, don't ever tell the truth. so what if the biden campaign would take tom friedman's advice? of course they will take it because they have no choice. biden is up in the polls will be can't let them talk. that could wreck everything. people might discover that

joe biden bears no resemblance to joe biden they remember. >> it would put 720 million women back in the workforce. >> i love this place, what's not tto like about vermont in terms of theer beauty of it? >> poor kids are just as talented as white kids. >> we choose science over fiction. these truths to be self-evident, all men and women created -- you know the thing. >> tucker: we do know the thing. poor joe biden does not know the thing and at times he doesn't seem to know anything or recognize his own wife. imagine him spending six hours on stage with donald trump trading jabs on live television, he can't do that so they aren't going to do that. they will keep them hidden behind the curtain, and on a good day he can pull off a

speech. nothing extemporaneous or off-the-cuff, he is not capable of that. it's all pretty shocking if you think about it, we've accepted it but pull back a bit. they're running a candidate for president who cannot govern and they know that and they are doing it anyway. what does that say about the people around joe biden? they are ruthless, obviously, and they are not into debates. just presidential debate but any debate. they don't like being disagreed with, they don't believe there are two sides to any question. they believe their own views are the only legitimate views, if you criticize them, they don't bother to rebut your point, they simply attack you. and joe biden attacked this show today, he didn't respond to the questions that we raised, he just called us names. then his minions tried to pull us off the air. we survived because thank god, we work here. you should know that's how they plan to run the country. he will pick some running mate whose identity makes it

impossible for anyone to criticize her and then they will describe any criticism of their governance as a hate crime, we got a taste of that for eight years under barack obama. they have been doing it for years on college campuses. now the entire american population is getting the very same treatment. tonight, a thousand companies are boycotting facebook's advertising platform, why are they doing that? they are demanding that facebook censor the president and his voters. band conservative news outlets, allow only publications controlled by the left to decide what's news. there's only one mass media company left in america that theistently dissents from left you of things, you're watching it right now. what do you think they plan to do to fox news if they takee power? mayou can imagine, we are in thr way. if these people aren't liberals, we call them that but they're not. they don't wring their hands at wonder what to do next like your

flaky fifth-grade teacher who wore sandals and worried about the fate of the baby harp seals and a save the whales sticker on her volvo, they are nothing like that. they unsentimental. they are totalitarian, they know exactly what they want. they want power and they know how to get power. why are so many people being fired for trivial offenses, liking the wrong tweet, commenting on the wrong post, making the wrong hand gesture accidentally? why is thatt happening? simple, to terrify the rest of us into obedience. we can be hurt too, that the lesson we take as we watch people around us fired and destroyed for doing the same thing.ne the people around joe biden ruled by fear, they do not rule by consent as you're supposed to trdo in this country. they are in fact the true enemies of democracy, they don't care what you think. just in case the rest of us missed the point, they are

working hard to make self-defense against their mom, their militia a crime. you cannot resist us or we'll prosecute you. a st. louis attorney kim gardner is threatening to arrest for daring to defend themselvesob against a mob that was threatening to murder them. a mob of democratic voters. but they are the criminals. if this is why the left wants to abolish the police, they aren't abolishing law enforcement, they are replacing them with a woke militia of armed social workers, psychologists and ethnic studies majors. obedient democratic voters. that's why in places the police still exist, they want to make certain you're too afraid to call them. supervisor s schaumann walton hs introduced the karen act, hilarious if you think about it. a law we are told is against t'hate is named after a racial

slur. the bill would make it a hate crime for citizens to call law enforcement based on "racial biased" -- how do you think that would be applied? call the police because you're frightened of mostly peaceful protesters threatening to kill you? you're the criminal now. day by day, liberalism evaporates and the left's troops call themselves liberals, children of the enlightenment, are falling inn line. the founder of vox.com went on twitter to explain why free speech is actually very bad. "a lot of debate that sells itself about being about free speech are actually about power, and there's a lot of power in being able to claim and hold the mantle of free speech defender.e we see where you're going. ezra klein is half right about this, free speech definitely is about power, power for people who don't have it.

people like ezra klein want less of free speech for others so they can have more power. when they can tell you what you can say, what they are really telling you is what you're allowed to believe, they aren't controlling your mouth, they are controlling your mind. there is no deeper control than that. any person who's telling you that is someone you should be very afraid of. chief washington correspondent for the hill, we are happy to have him tonight. you came up in journalism, you exist in journalistic spheres such as it is, are you surprised by how little debate remains, legitimate exchanges of different views? >> i'm not because the grounds for this has been late for quite some time. the culture wars, everybody said what was going on in these america campuses was ludicrous for the right to focus on. many of those people grew up and graduated and they work at

vox.com, they work at "the new york times," now they work in the most storied and elite institutions in the country. many of them work on the biden campaign as you rightfully point out to. we should have absolutely no illusions that whenever these people come to power, especially with somebody like joe biden at the helm who barely understands what's going on, his department of justice, his government, any of the powers that are invested in the highest institutions will be used expressly to put out any dissent whatsoever. it's all a crescendo to that moment. it's all driven by the idea that we must not engage, we must d platform and remove, we must expressly move away from anybody who holds a different view. remember that "the new york times" fired its top editor for publishing an op-ed by senator tom cotton who was espousing a position which at the time it was published was

supported by 58% of americans and that is using the united states military to restore order in american streets. if they can shut down majoritarian positions in those institutions, that's what they are going to do whenever they come to power. >> tucker: what's so striking is the ferocity of their passive aggression. i express strong opinions, people don't like it, theyts criticize me, it never hurts my. feelings, you can criticize me back. they consistently set themselves up so they are immune from criticism. you can't criticize me because i'm this person or i did that, i'm immune from critique. how did they get away with that? >> it's incredible, they will be like you are disgusting, puerile and racist anti-semite and i'll be like hold on a second, and they'll be like he is harassing me! and i'm like you just called me a disgusting purulent racist and that is the worst possible thing that you can say about somebody in american society, rightfully

so! being a racist is a terrible thing. are you are racist because you want to have less immigration to the united states and less competition for american wages? they control speech, they control rules of the debate, they can make it so even the act of defense is an act of so-called offense against them. it's complete madness. >> tucker: i hate to blame the victims in all this, the victims are people i know and love, normal people. but we are participating in our lown oppression. if they say you can't say that, why don't we just hoist the middle finger and laugh? why are we playing along with this, most americans are decent, good-hearted people obviously. why are we allowing them to control us? >> it's a great question and probably one that is directed at the republican leadership, unlike the democratic leadership they have no idea how to use power and use it to defend and protect their constituents and the people that brought them tot

power. they think by appeasing the democrats or the left, they are like they will just love us if we give them this particular thing. it's the light version of woke, it's never enough for them. it's at the very core ethos ofnd this ideology. >> tucker: it doesn't work in prison, it doesn't work in politics. don't ever get in. great to see you tonight, thank you for your wisdom. jill anmaxwell is in jail and py about to face justice for her role in assistingof jeffrey epstein. a former corrections officials says there's a real risk she won't make it to a court room, joins us next.

♪ >> tucker: jef >> tucker: jeffrey epstein's consiglio harry has been arrested and charged with a number of crimes including sex trafficking. her name is apparently pronounced ghislaine maxwell, s you know who she is. according to one of epstein's

victims, maxwell is as bad as the billionaire she once served. >> she's a rapist. she destroyed what was supposed to be the best years of my life. she is just as evil as everybody has painted him to be. ms. maxwell was his business partner, she did this too many girls.eg it was hateful and degrading and i was dumped off in my grandparents yard naked and was told i wouldn't come back alive the next time. >> tucker: another victim told "60 minutes" australia about how maxwell ensnared young girls. >> and isolated prison known as

pedo island where he would share the girls like f to pray with hs rich and powerful friends. >> we went anything important to them, we weren't even human beings to them, we were another toy to be passed around and that's what they did that. prince andrew should be panicking at the moment because ghislaine maxwell doesn't care about anyone else. >> i was in the car with her and would ask the driver to stop the car and she would -- across to the school or the park or wherever she was a going and she would write down her phone number for a child, a young girl, then i would see that child at the house and she would say they are auditioning, i found a model in the park. i thought it was strange because i did see a couple of girls in braces and i've never seen a model in braces. >> tucker: that's disgusting. maxwell has now been arrestedje but of course jeffrey epstein was arrested too. how confident that the rest of

us be that maxwell world will reveal what happened on that pedo island or other places? who paid for it, was that foreign governments? how confident can we be that she willde make it to a trial? the man to answer that question, he joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. are you concerned that maxwell won't make it to court? >> i think there are some issues we have to contend with, when you think about what happened to jeffrey epstein, he supposedly committed suicide in prison? i don't think so. dr. michael baden a renowned pathologist exam at a jeffrey epstein determined that tthe hyoid bone was fractured ad that's moreic consistent with homicide by strangulation instead of suicide by hanging. the cameras conveniently weren't working. i don't think the feds can handle these prisoners, such high-profile prisoners. if i were william barr, what i would do is i would seek to

obtain a substitute jail order and i would try to have ms. maxwell placed on rikers island with the new york city department of corrections. the jails are empty right now because de blasio has a police reform andai colombo has bail reform. then we have an emergency services unit that could handle her. that is the best thing that could happen, the reason i say that is because the jail that she's currently income of the metropolitan detention center in brooklyn is notorious for the abuse of female inmates. let me give you a couple of examples. in 2011 there was a female correction officer there, she had sex on duty with eight employees, two of them are superior officers. she also had sex with two inmates, one was a a gang banger and a drug dealer and another killed two new york city police detectives. finally, we have a lieutenant and two corrections officers recently who were convicted of sexually abusing over ten women

come with lieutenant was in charge of the units, one of his functions was to teach the officers about the prison rape elimination act, can you imagine the guy who's supposed to be training them against it is rating the inmates. i don't think any female inmate should be housed there, i don't believe female inmates should be housed in the same facility with male inmates, it doesn't make any sense. we need to change that. >> tucker: unless you believe there's no differences between sex -- what does this say about the country when a guy can be possibly murdered in a jail cell and suggested a lot of people who played along with that, the people who should be watching

him, officials at the facility, why are none of them in deep trouble right now? why don't we know thewh truth? >> i'll tell you why, we have corrupt police officials, we have corrupt in the fbi, look at what jeffrey epstein did, going back 10-15 years ago. he paid money to the palm beache police department, police departments should be accepting money from private citizens. what sex offender gets work released from jail? the sheriff's offices facilitated that, that is being formed a company so he could pay deputy sheriffs to babysit him while he was on work release. i was a warden at a new york city correctional facilityy in 2,000 -- i never hd one sex offender who was released on work release, it's unheard of. then you have the states

attorney who didn't even bother to interview the children or their parents. i've been doing human trafficking investigations the last 14 years so i know a lot about that. a social service note never hadn opportunity to protect those children. law enforcement has blown this from the very beginning, now all of a sudden ten years later they arrest a jeffrey epstein at an airport? now all of a sudden they find this clown in new hampshire? give me a break. the law enforcement authorities that have handled this, it's bizarre. i've never heard of anything like it, i do not trust the people that were involved in thisis investigation. >> tucker: give me your ten seconds. exactly. thank you for that, thanks for coming on tonight. killings have more than doubled

in new york city compared to this time a year ago. cnn's don lemon seem to care about that, today's don lemon thinks it's hilarious children are being killed. we have the video which is actually going to shock you. we never make that promise, we are going to fulfill this one. one reason the actual blackio lives organization doesn't care about urban mayhem is the group isdi directly linked to a convicted domestic terrorist. you probably haven't seen the story, we'll bring it to you next.

>> tucker: if you don >> tucker: if you don't have much money and you don't have much power, this is definitely a bad time to live in new york city, it's a frightening time. the economy has been shut down for months, hundreds of thousands of jobs have vanished, they may not come back. the neighborhoods have been scarred by rioting and looting and now most ominously come of violence is surging in what used to be not so long ago, america's safest bigig city.

shootings have doubled -- on sunday alone, 64 people were shot, ten were killed. it's obvious what's going on's here, new york's leaders are indulging them bob which works for them in the end. they are holding back law enforcement from normal people. criminals and predators are doing whatey they always do, taking advantage. weekend vulnerable people as always are paying the price for this. this is not a concern over at cnn, don lemon doesn't care. he's a highly paid news anchor. for him, the shootings and murders are the stuff of television -- the whole thing is hilarious. >> the democratic cities are chaos, is this what you want from joe biden. it's so bad and they are defunding police. >> tucker: wow, talk about caught telling the truth on

camera. it wasn't the only time he did. on tuesday, don lemon invited the actor terry crews on his show and explained correctly, despite its name from a black lives matter doesn't really care about black lives. >> if you look at the city in chicago, there are nine children who died by gun violence, by black on black gun violence from june 20th all the way to today. the black lives matter movement has said nothing. >>ut what does that have to do with equality? the black lives matter movementi started because they're talking about police brutality. if you want an all black lives matter movement that talks about gun violence in communities including black communities, then start that movement with that name. but that's not what life lives matter is about. the black lives matter movement is about police brutality and injustice in that manner, not about what is happening in black neighborhoods.

>> tucker: if you're running a channel like cnn, you want dumb people on tv because they are compliant, they will say what they're told, they will tell the audience with the moment demands, they will never stray from the script and that's exactly what mr. lemon is doing. seven years ago, it was a different country and people were kind of a lot to say what i thought was true. at that time here's what don lemon was saying about black communities. >> moreeor than 72% of childrenn the african-american community are born out of wedlock. that means absent fathers. studies show that lack of a male role model is an express train rightin to prison and the cycle continues. so please come up black folks, as i said, if this is an apply to you, i'm not talking to you -- pay attention to and think about what has been presented in recent history is acceptable behavior. pay close attention to the hip-hop and rap culture that many of you embrace, a culture that glorifies everything i just

mentioned. thug and reprehensible behavior, a culture that's making a lot of people rich, just not you and it's not going to. >> tucker: wow. can you imagine what would happen if don lemon or the body building body over there or if any of these hacks said something like that on cnn or msnbc? that would be their last live broadcast ever, they would be fired immediately, you can't express views like that and so they don't. it tells you a lot. despite its immense political power and it does have immense power,er the group black lives matter isn't really much of a group, it's a small, flimsy organization, ites doesn't havee legal existence of its own. officially the primary black lives matter group is simply a project of another nonprofit called thousand currents. why is this interesting? because the current vice chair is called susan rosenberg and she's a convicted terrorist who

spent 16 years in federal prison before she was given a pardon by bill clinton on the very last day in office. bernie kerik remembers us wellde and he personally escorted susan rosenberg from the courthouse in newark in 1985, he knows this story well, thank you for coming on. that picture is remarkable. >> i had hair them. >> tucker: and an ar-15. who is susan rosenberg? whynt is it significant that she now in effect works for black lives matter? >> for me on a personal note, it's important for your viewers to know who she is, because black lives matter is as i've said dating back to 2015, it's a revolution -- revolutionary

marxist group, that's what it is, it wants to overthrow this government, it's a group that its founder sits -- three founders were inspired by a woman named joe and chaz amar who goes by an african name asada shi after she assassinatea new jersey state trooper, she's involved in a number of bombings and executions. that's who they are, that's what they are about to. when i tried to explain that to people over the past two or three years, they didn't get it. now in the last few weeks, we learn to susan rosenberg is one of their fund-raising gurus. susan rosenberg in 1985 when you look atok that photo, she was convicted of possessing hundreds of pounds of explosives. she was involved in the brinks myakka robbery were two cops were killed, she was involved in

a communist organization that were involved in a number of assassinations, bombings, the u.s. capital bombing, the naval war college bombing, an and a number of others in the united states, she was a radical revolutionary, she was let out of prison, she was commuted on the last day of his term in office. she was given 58 years in prison and now she's out. who does she work for? black lives matter. i think we are missing something here, doj should be looking to black lives matter as a terrorist group, as a terrorist organization, and i think -- i find it astounding that all these u.s. firms, some 200 that you have chronicled on your sh show, they are just pounding

money into a group that's about the overthrow of this government. if you can't see it on its face by what they do normally on a daily basis, you need to start looking at their associates and people around them, this stuff is been going on since 1960, 1970, and the early 80s when these people, the marxist revolutionaries wanted to overthrow this country. >> it's amazing that all these rich ladies think blm is ending racism when in fact it's a revolutionary group. maybe the u.s. government can take decisive action and by doing that make it really clear that this is a terror organization. >> black lives matter was truly working for black lives, they would be marching tonight in chicago or baltimore, or cleveland. i can give you 20 other cities.

>> tucker: it's having the opposite effect needless to say. thanks so much for that, great to see you tonight. the science is absolutely clear and it's not disputed, american schools should reopen this fall, they are reopening in europe for aar reason. now an unexpected ally in that, we'll tell you who agrees next. bottom line is,

♪ ♪ >> tucker: last night on this show, we told you what the science has concluded about schools and covid-19. children are less likely to get virus, unlikely to spread it, and in the end, are virtually zero risk from it, they are at far greater risk from the annual flu, four times as many kids die from that than die from the coronavirus. many countries have open their schools without masks and there has been no spike in their cases. evidence is overwhelming, school should reopen. covering coronavirus, when anthony felt she spoke with our

dr. marc siegel, he got this response. >> if you keep children out of school, the unintended negative ripple effect consequences can be profound with regard to what did the parents do? do they stay home from work to be able to take care of the children? what about child care? what about children who rely on schools for their lunch, maybe the most important nutritional meal that they will get. the broad approach would be obviously, paying attention to the safety of the children which is always paramount. within the context of doing whatever you can to safeguard the health and the welfare of the children, we should try to get the schools open. >> tucker: what about each other? people need each other, it's not good for people to be alone. dr. marc siegel who did that interview joins usha tonight. >> i was so glad to see dr.

dr. fauci finally taking that position, when you consider the position we need to take, we are opening the schools, how do weo go about doing it? what guidelines can help us? not the guidelines getting in the way of it and so the centers of disease control are reassuring guidelines next week that may be more personal, maybe they will actually work. i'm reminded of a child named landon fuller, 11 years old, i saw his picture on the front of the albuquerque journal, back at the end of april, he was in such a state of despair from the closed schools, from the closed state of new mexico that he took his own life. it wasn't covid-19. we need to remember landon fuller as we move forward.f as vice president pence said that there's a lot of damage ifo we don't reopen the schools and open them fully, we have special needs children that only get their needs taken care of at schools. some people only get their full meal at school.

socialization, kids playing together, mental health issues as the vice president says, often only at schools. i want to tell u.s. a physician who's taking care of patients, i didn't feel a hole. teachers want to be back in school and taking care of kids. we can test them and dr. fauci told me the antigen testing is about to be rolled out that we can test millions and millions of people. universities, he agreed with me on that as well, universities definitely should be fully reopened because you can quarantine, if someone gets sick, you isolate them. you test professors, you test students, but don't do it the way harvard is with online only or the way my alma mater brown is doing it with three sessions, do it the way duke is doing at notre dame or cornell, everybody back in full force. in the state of new mexico which

i started off with here, 20% increase in unexpected deaths since this pandemic started. unexpectedct deaths, that's suicide, homicide, and car accidents. that's not justco in new mexico, that's all over the country and landon fuller who i started with here is gone -- our heart goes out to his family. let's reopen the school in his memory, let's bringng the soul back, the heart back to our country in our schools, the heart of our country. >> tucker: we should care, you obviously do. thank you so much.ha roger stone is about to go to prison essentially for the rest seof his life but his enemies aren't satisfied withis that, ty have to humiliate him on the way out. so they are kicking roger stone of the internet, that's next. plus dana perino is here to tell us how joe biden will escape the debates this fall if indeed she thinks he will, that's next. with skin inflammation.

♪ >> tucker: roger stone has been ordered to report to prison next week for the crime of being unpopular with the people in charge, once he's behind bars he will be a threat to no one, he's never been a threat to anyone. he is going to prison because of his politics b. even spending his last years in prison isn't enough of the people sending him, they want him destroyed. that's why they sent the fbi in a brigade-sized unit in his house to arrest him at gunpoint and invited cnn along to chronicle the whole thing. it's why facebook announced it has deleted his personal facebook account and is banning him from the platform. his alleged crime is a connection to something called misinformation, whatever that is, it's all an excuse of course,ll his real offenses

supporting the wrong presidential candidate, and on top of that, mocking the people in charge. they hate that more than anything, and so they are destroying roger stone and they are getting away with it as they always do. we told you at the top of the show that tom friedman of "the new york times" does not want joe bidenhe to debate. he's saying that because many democrats are saying that privately. biden is ahead, there's noer reason to risk it by talking. can biden get away with that? it's part of an ongoing conversation that we have had with our friend dana perino who as you well know hosts the daily briefing and joins us tonight. thank you for coming on, couldn't resist bringing you back. you are usually right w when we have the dispute but in this casehi i said there is no chance joe biden is going to debate donald trump and you said that's such an offense against precedence that he must end my contention, i'll leave it with you after this, is that tom friedman's column today is thehe

opening of a series of columns like that that will convince the biden people they don't have to debate. >> i will say that you and tom friedman, being an agreement was a plot twist i did not expect in 2020. i think tom friedman -- am i wrong that tom friedman isfr considered the person who is most consistently wrong in washington, d.c., over his entire career? >> tucker: probably ever come up probably history. >> but i do think part of this nkis party elders are may be concerned that joe biden could blow it, but that's exactly why i think he has to debate. the questions about his mental acuity's and his capability, if he doesn't debate, all of those will definitely be on the table. i think he has to step up, he owes it to the voters, i think

that he has to prove the president is wrong when the president says he has lost a step, he has dementia, he's sleepy, i think debates are the way to do that.up >> tucker: isn't that already up for debate now? biden is hiding, he says it's because of the coronavirus, trump is essentially the same age asam biden, he's physically fit, biden is staying home, trump is everywhere. biden is conceding he doesn't want to answer unscripted questions and he is still ahead. why did they change that formu formula? >> it's a good point, i can see the strategy but i don't think it will work. i don't think the racist tighter than it appears and regardless, i doow know that it will tighten even further, this is not going to be a landslide either way. it's going to be a close election. here's the other thing, tom

friedman is using this column of his to talk about donald trump's tax returns.'s what he said is that joe biden should not debate -- he should say "i will not debate you unless you release your tax returns in 2016 and 2018." and that would be the reason, that would drop president trump out and get the tax returns. i don't think that's going to happen, i think that's litigated but what happens tomorrow morning? you have the supreme court finally going to decide on this question of whether the president can be compelled to release tax returns at 10:00 a.m. i think that's what tom friedmao is trying to get at in addition to hoping that joe biden could skate by with out having a debate, i don't think that's possible. >> tucker: can i give you my theory of the case? my theory is if you're such a good person and you believe so fervently in the system and that's a compliment because i do too, that it's too offensive for

you personally that anybody if either party could be elected president without standing in a debate at all, you won't allow that that could happen? >> don't you think there are enough americans that think like we do, that that would be so offensive, it would be a reason not to vote for that person if they skipped a debate? >> tucker: yes. i hope so and maybe i'm getting too cynical as i get as old as i'm becoming but i'm starting to think -- if you won't even take questions. if you say that certain questions are out-of-bounds by their nature, you're a public servant, you have to answer all questions, it's our government. and you get away with it. >> i have to tell you this morning when i woke up and i started reading the news andad i saw that column, the first thing i thought was "tucker is going to crush me on this tonight, because that's exactly what you brought up last week." but i'm going to maintain that biden will debate and if i'm wrong, i will let you off on the other bet that you owe me.

>> tucker: if you are right, i'll be impressed. dana perino great to see you. weekdays at 2:00 p.m. we are out of time, we hope you have the best evening. shelter from the ongoing storm, sean hannity is right >> sean: welcome to "hannity." tonight we are at a tipping point. everything that is exceptional, everything that's great about this country, the greatest country god gave man, our united states of america, i tell you tonight it's in jeopardy. in 118 days, guess what, you're the ultimate jury and the very way of life that we cherish in many ways is at stake. i will give a long explanation. everything we value and cherish like capitalism, liberty, freedom, the constitution, the rule of law hangs in the balance because the most extreme radical socialist democrats are planning, and they are saying it, to fundamentally transform and change america.
