from the hospital by the end of the weekend we wish her well here in new york city tonight. that is "the story" on this wednesday, july 29th. almost the end of july. have a good night, everybody. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." believe it or not, this is joe biden's third attempt to run for president. history is lost when you live in thinthe eternal present as we ae now. the first time biden ran was in 1988, that was before most of the people who work on the show were born and he was caught lying about his biography and speeches and forced to drop out. biden suggested to audiences that he had grown up in a coal mining family in wales. that's not true. joe biden is actually from america, his father sold cars in wilmington.

biden went to catholic prep school in the suburbs. it took 20 years before biden ran again and when he did, it did not go well. in 2008, joe biden got a total of 1% of the vote in the iowa caucuses. he dropped out that night. joe biden, whatever his strengths, turned out to be so bad at running for president that even barack obama, supposedly his close friend, repeatedly refused to endorse him. "he just can't win," that was barack obama's view. then the wuhan coronavirus arrived. democratic lawmakers checked on the country, millions lost their jobs, americans huddled in their homes, cut off from one another and deeply miserable. from his basement, strategically cloistered away in silence, joe biden shot ahead in the polls. not because of anything he did, he just happens to be there. as of tonight, joe biden could win the race. unfortunately, if he does, joe biden cannot govern the country. he has all but admitted that, he

said he won't run for a second term. so biden's running mate will be the most consequential vp pick in american history and soon we will know who it is. apparently the announcement is coming in the next week. senator kamala harris in california is the front runner, she certainly the most well-known. needless to say, they love her. she's one of them. the public, though, has been much less impressed including democrats. harris was so unpopular with democratic primary voters that she never made it to the first vote in the primary. when she dropped out in december, harris was pulling around 3%. the wrap and exit polls is that she's a fraud, she doesn't really believe in anything and she will say whatever it takes. that is also harris' primary strength. here she is promising free health care to illegal aliens. >> so you support giving universal health care, medicare for all to people who are in this country illegally? >> let me be very clear about

this, i am opposed to any policy that would deny in our country any human being from access to public safety, public education, or public health, period. >> tucker: now wait a second, you may be wondering. i'm sitting in my house, maybe unemployed, paying a huge percentage of my net worth for health care. so why should people who aren't even allowed to be in this country in the first place get it for free at my expense? by the way, how can a government that's already $27 trillion in debt afford to pay for the rest of the world's medical bills? those are all good questions. kamala harris has no answers, fixing the problem is not the point of the exercise. winning is the point. over the years, harris has been willing to do pretty much whatever it takes to win, including use the power of her office to crush political opponents. as the attorney general of california, harris relentlessly

defended her big donors, when a journalist criticized planned parenthood in a documentary, kamala harris spent the police to his home. he later described the authoritarian nightmare harris unleashed on his life. >> they got a highly political search warrant to conduct a political raid on my home disease the under covered footage, black letter california law that you are not supposed to get search warrant to seize the unpublished materials of a journalist, citizen journalist, professional journalist but that's what kamala harris went ahead and did in order to cover up for them and protect them from increased further scrutiny for the crimes of selling aborted baby body parts, sometimes from criminal partial-birth abortions. >> tucker: so i think what we can conclude from this episode is that kamala harris or any politician willing to use law enforcement to stop journalism she doesn't like probably doesn't care too much about civil liberties or equality under the law, and

indeed she doesn't. harris supports allowing universities to hire an employer based on the skin color of applicants. she'd like to rewrite the constitution to eliminate the electoral college because it's inconvenient. just ten years ago, barack obama would've run away from them, that's a much the democratic party has changed. if you're looking for more evidence of that change, you should also know that joe biden is considering congresswoman karen bass of los angeles as his running mate, she's also on the short list. unlike kamala harris, karen bass is not a fraud. karen bass means it. she's sincere. an unapologetic left-wing bomb thrower who spent decades working to help fidel castro and his cold war against the united states. karen bass kept praising fidel castro all the way to his death four years ago. in the 1970s, karen bass belongs to a group that the l.a.

police department accused of treading revolutionaries in "terrorist tactics and guerrilla warfare." bass apparently visited cuba multiple times a year. karen bass is not a mainstream figure. she literally cosponsor to the new way forward act, that is a lunatic bill that would force the u.s. government to re-import at taxpayer expense hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens that we've deported for committing crimes. in many case, violent crimes, for real. karen bass is so extreme that like kamala harris, by the way, she's currently trying to repeal california's main antidiscrimination law. bass wants to make racial discrimination legal as it was before the civil rights movement. we are not overstating this. karen bass has issued press releases bragging about it. you may not of heard about any of this, the details are rushed so shocking that virtually no media outlet bothers to cover them but it is all real, look it up. keep in mind, this is the

person, these are the people that will soon be running our country. pedro gonzales writes for a couple of the journal of american greatness," we are happy to have them on the show tonight. thanks so much for coming on. here you have two potential vp picks, both of whom have explicitly endorsed eliminating the biggest states antidiscrimination law. it's hard to believe that's true. it is true, what should we conclude from it? >> that both of these people are willing to use ethanol-politics for political power. i think you framed it very well that harris doesn't mean it, she pays lip service to progressive policies but she doesn't mean any of the things she says. bass really believes in the things that she sang and what i think is so dangerous is she has a good way or a talent for

taking radical ideas and making them appear moderate. but at the end of the day both of these candidates are going in the same direction and that is a very bad place for america because both of them have no problem with essentially portraying white people as the group that needs to be disadvantaged for other groups in this country to succeed. that is insane. you're talking about saying that all the problems in this country for all these different groups are the fault of this one group and in order to address these wrongdoings, this history of coming you know, american sin, we need to repeal antidiscrimination laws. that's insane. >> tucker: it is insane and it's immoral but it's also the single most divisive way that you could govern the country. i can't think of a way that would divide a country more deeply and more permanently, can you? >> no and for bass, it's not surprising. you set a lot of the stuff is not public knowledge but bass is

a divisive character, she has been since the beginning of her political career. later this month she's going to be attending the national coalition of blacks for reparations alongside senator cory booker and this is a conference where, since the '70s i think, they've been pushing for reparations and last year a key speaker was louis farrakhan and karen bass will be attending later this month and this person is being considered for vp. so if you want divisive, she is as divisive as it gets but again, she's very good at concealing these views and sort of playing them down. >> tucker: i'm pretty hard to shock, you just shocked me. i wasn't aware of that, i read the news all day. why is none of this cover, these seem like relevant facts. >> it's not covered because it doesn't fit the narrative,

republicans are bad, conservatives are bad, white people are bad, the democratic party is going to save america from trump, from his supporters and the ideas that his supporters hold true. you don't hear because most people in the media are so pathetic to people like karen bass and so pathetic to people like harris even though most of them i think realize that she is deeply cynical. >> tucker: deeply cynical is that exactly the phrase i would use, i don't know if it's a compliment or an insult in this context. happy to have you on, i hope you come back. the state of oregon is sending state troopers into portland to restore order in the city. the city has seen nearly 60 days of almost nonstop violence. the department of homeland security will begin a phased withdrawal of law enforcement once federal property is secure and that includes the federal courthouse. thanks so much for coming on.

are you confident that this will solve the destruction of portland? >> no, not really. you have to go by the history of what's happened here, tucker. this started two months ago. two months ago. if the mayor and the governor did their job two months ago, there would've been no additional federal marshals in there, we wouldn't have had to worry about the courthouse, wouldn't of had to worry about the federal property but they did not do their job. so the president dispatches the marshals, dhs to go in and secure the courthouse. that only happened two or three weeks ago. when you listen to these lunatics, the mayor, the governor, they're talking about oppression. they don't live in a sovereign nation, oregon is not a sovereign nation, there is no oppression. we responded to violence, we

responded to our sin, we responded to the looting, the attacks on the courthouse and the attacks on law enforcement. the portland police want to do everything in their power to get in there and end this and they've been prevented from doing so by the mayor, who is actually the police commissioner, and by the governor. >> tucker: so if all the news has this distressing piece up today that suggests that the permanent class the department of justice has resisted tamping down this violence. career bureaucrats have resisted sending more fbi agents, for example. do you think that sounds plausible, having been around law enforcement all your life? it's awfully frustrating. >> it is frustrating and i can tell you, i talked to the guys in portland on a daily basis. portland pd, members of law enforcement in oregon, they want to go out there and do the job and they were not allowed.

the dhs people, the u.s. marshals want to secure that site. nobody is going to tell these guys not to do this, they want to do the job that has to be done. you know, and i think the president has taken a stand, you're not going to take the courthouse, you're not going to take federal property and if you do we are coming after you. >> tucker: i believe that completely, i think there are probably a lot of bureaucrats in the way. great to see you tonight, thank you so much. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: americans tech oligarchs troops to washington to testify before congress today, a new opportunity for politicians to defend to people they represent against the most powerful people in the world's. we tell you after the break.

♪ >> tucker: americas tech monopolies are subverting our democracy, interfering with our presidential election far more aggressively and effectively than vladimir putin never did. mostly they're doing it in secret, most voters don't even know it's happening but sometimes the interference is brazenly obvious. just this week, they censored a video of doctors expressing views on science at the tech oligarchs feared would hurt

joe biden's election chances so they snatched it off the internet. those same tech oligarchs testified before congress today. it was a perfect opportunity for republicans to represent their voters to protect the country. but mostly they didn't. in some cases they embarrass themselves. congressman jim sensenbrenner of wisconsin confronting mark zuckerberg from facebook. unfortunately he asked about some thing twitter did. >> it was reported that donald trump jr. got taken down for a period of time because he put something up, the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine. why has that happened? >> congressman, first, to be clear, i think what you might be referring to happened on twitter so it is hard for me to speak to that. >> tucker: right, wrong company. are these people even trying? maybe they are throwing the fight on purpose. at one point, he questioned

jeff bezos of amazon. here's how it went. >> let me ask mr. bezos. sadie at&t example was applied to amazon, so you might have no more of a one stop shop, you have to go to separate places for books or groceries or videos or electronics. however the consumer is helped by that? >> sir, thank you, they would not be. very clear. >> oh, mr. bezos, would it be good for america if we curbed your power? no, it will be bad. okay, next question. he never followed up, nor did he ask another obvious questions. he didn't ask why amazon, the power to deny charitable contributions to christians or

whether bezos has used his personal newspaper, "the washington post" to promote coronavirus lockdowns because amazon profits from the quarantine? or why the world's richest man, someone who made $13 billion in one day treats so many of his workers like bangladeshis in a sweatshop. jim sensenbrenner forgot to ask any of those questions. apparently he still living in 2002 where tech mobile's are heroes and rigid free-market orthodoxy seems to be working. in the last election cycle, google was jim sensenbrenner's second largest donor. ask yourself, why would a left-wing company in california donate to a supposedly conservative republican and wisconsin? maybe you just saw why. before today's hearing, a transparently pro-tech memo leaked online. the memo downplays google's obvious market dominance, that's not a small thing in an

antitrust debate. and then to suggest markets will magically solve political bias intact. it's simple, stop complaining. an opinion host at "the hill," he swallowed this topic for quite some time and we are happy to have them on tonight. it why don't you just start your own google? >> i don't have access to hundreds of billions of dollars in capital and the market dominance that google hasn't even if i did it's very likely that google would not allow me to ever get as big as they are. so it just goes to show you how republicans really missed whenever it came to these hearings today, tucker. they told us that they care about bias and i'm heartened to hear that they care about censorship. but why exactly is bias such a problem in the first place? it's because of the market power of these company so if you're not willing to ask critical questions about the market power

of these companies then you kind of given away the entire game or the solution to the bias that you purport to care about so they can go to their voters, they can say, well, we confronted mark zuckerberg or so-and-so about bias but we are not going to actually do anything about it whenever it comes to know, i don't know, fulfilling their public responsibilities as a member of the united states congress. the one here's what i don't understand. these are politicians, they respond to basic stimuli. they want to win, they don't want to lose. the most powerful companies in the world are now weapons in the arsenal of the democratic national committee, they are working to stop the president for from being elected and republicans from taking the senate, for example. do they care? >> jim sensenbrenner is still going to get his check from google. many of the conservative infrastructures are funded by google's and many of these tech giants you're talking about, they love being in opposition because then they don't even have to pretend to do anything and they can continue to cash

their checks, they all have lobbying groups that are waiting for them. i've been a personal crusade highlighting how many republicans, yes republican staffers are working for the chinese communist party controlled tiktok organization. they don't care about patrioti patriotism, voters, data, they care about one thing and that's making money and paying for their second homes. >> tucker: it does seem like, i want to end on this really quickly, their voters care. your average nonprogressive, understands that small groups of people control all the information are probably too powerful to have a democracy. you can't have a democracy and that kind of a system, do you think voters understand that? >> voters absolutely understand that, they keep asking the representatives, please fight for me, please stand up for me and over and over again you get what you got today which is an embarrassing display of, can you imagine a member of congress in the 1900s asking john dee

rockefeller of jpmorgan whether they thought they were too powerful or what the market would be if the government were to break them up? is patently absurd. >> tucker: these guys are way more powerful than rockefeller. thanks. congressman jim jordan is a conservative who was there today, the highest ranking for public and on the committee, thanks so much for coming on. you tweeted today tweet that was heartening i think to a lot of people, you said "big tech out to give conservatives, clearly true. it's time they face the consequences." to the many frustrated viewers out there who don't think republicans have forced them to face any consequences for the past four years, tell us, simply, with the sponsor wants lenses are going to be. >> you got to work on 2:30, we are looking at that right now, you may have the justice department looking at current antitrust laws to go after these companies right now and frankly we may have to change the law and we also have to continue to do what you've been doing and thank you for doing that, calling them out every time we see the bias, every time we see

them become the facilitators of the mob to cancel people, we have to continue to call them out. twitter went after me two years ago. i've been talking about this for a couple years. they shadow band four members of congress, only four get shadow band by twitter and of course we are told "it was just a glitch." what did you put in the algorithm? i think i said that on your show. >> tucker: you did and we agreed but i'm a talk show host, we've got 4 million viewers or whatever but my job is to talk. lawmakers are tasked with running the country and passing our law by a definition and these companies operate provided them by congress and congress has never done anything to rein them in and so we've got, what, 96 days until the election, either going to be any consequences until then? >> you just mentioned are the most important thing, in 96

days, 97 days, whatever that number is, it's important that we reelect donald trump and take back the house because do you think joe biden, kamala harris, and jerry nadler are going to fix this? you think they're going to stop big tech from attacking conservatives and censoring conservatives? i don't think so. republicans aren't in control. we are working on the senate, working with the senate on this 230 issue, looking at every remedy we can because her has to be a remedy for what they're doing to conservatives. the most important thing is to take back the house and make sure donald trump is reelected. >> tucker: it seems very difficult for any candidate or party to win anything if all the information about the race is controlled by people working for the other side which is where we are now. let me ask you, jim sensenbrenner has taken money from google, google is your second-biggest campaign contributor in the last cycle, why do you think they would give you money? >> look, if they want to

exercise their first amendment liberty to give me money, i raise $3 million last quarter, god bless him, that doesn't change who i am. you saw that today in the committee, i went after them for the things you just read, tucker. in 2016, google tried to tailor their features to help clinton in key states, that's from the head of their multicultural marketing. >> tucker: i'm a talk show host, we talk about this all the time. they somehow have a liability exemption where they can't be sued for garbage on their site. where's the effort to do that? >> i just like to know, ones are going to happen? >> we are working on it right now with folks in the senate, our staff is working with senate staff on that issue. what's the best way to structure that language, we are looking at that. also at the justice department is doing, bill barr is looking at this issue as well. now we may have to write some other law. there are three possible remedies here. all i know is there is a big

problem and there has to be a remedy, we are looking at what is the best course of action to take but none of it happened, none of it happened if jerry nadler is still in charge of the judiciary committee and joe biden and kamala harris get elected as president and vice president. >> tucker: i am certainly not advocating for jerry nadler having any more power than he does, obviously. i just, again, i think most people watching feel justified frustration that we are right at the edge of the election and it's pretty hard to win anything if these people continue to interfere in our democracy. >> no, i do. the good news is in 2016 in spite of what google did, the american people saw it for what it was an donald trump was elected. that's why i raise that issue in the hearing today twice with google. >> tucker: thank you for coming on, appreciate it. >> you bet, thank you. >> tucker: well, coronavirus shutdowns destroyed countless small businesses but they were especially tough on restaurants.

even some business is brave to defy the orders died anyway. talk to restaurant owners from colorado who learned a deep about the way government works. plus, airlines used to give up peanuts and ginger ale on flights and now they are giving out face masks and something else. what will be coming down the aisle the next time you fly? new video. ♪

be one looks like boarding the plane will be the same going forward, robots can be coming to the aisles. matt finn is going to explain what we will encounter on board. >> the device looks like the beverage cart down the aisle that emits ultraviolet light that is supposed to significantly reduce bacteria. the devices are putting back

being put into service in new york and florida as part of a pilot program. the ultraviolet light can clean a cabinet in less than 10 minutes but can be dangerous to skin and eyes of the plane must be empty. jetblue is slated to be the first airline to test the light which honeywell set has been used in hospitals and demonstrated to be over 90% effective on all kinds of pathogens. studies are underway to determine effectiveness against covid-19, preliminary results from boston university indicates ultraviolet light can inactivate covid-19. other airlines are in talks to bring these robots on board so you may see when the next time you are at an airport, whenever that is, tucker. >> tucker: interesting, kind of ominous. i am anti-robot. thank you. well, coronavirus shut down quarantines destroyed countless small businesses, restaurants hit especially hard. a study released by yelp found

the majority of the restaurants temporarily closed by shutdown orders will never again reopen. so in may, a very popular local restaurant in castle rock, cast, colorado, divided states shutdown order about the business closed anyway. they served their last meal on sunday. the owners join us tonight. >> april, jesse, the reason i'm so anxious to talk to you as you wrote on facebook post on what you learned about your government as you went through the saga of having your restaurant closed to defy the order. >> this environment for a business is brutal. you know, it seems like you worked so hard for something and then you get so restricted that you can't function normally and

it doesn't seem like there's any consideration. >> tucker: you all wrote that the government in your government in colorado, your state government is actually picking winners and losers. some people are treated like criminals, small business owners, some criminals are treated like heroes, how did that make you feel? >> yeah, it's a little disheartening. even still currently, bars that don't serve food i still currently closed right now. 10:00 p.m. last call for restaurants that do serve alcohol. because i guess the coronavirus doesn't affect people after 10:00 p.m. but walmart, home depot, no restrictions, no instructions, nothing like that. >> tucker: so the giant multinational corporations that spend so much in campaign contributions get to stay open. >> exactly. >> tucker: how much did you

send to the governor campaign and do you wish you to send more? >> we spent the big some of 0 and i wish we could've sent some negative numbers. >> tucker: it does seem like, and i'm not alleging a conspiracy here, but it does seem like every one of the public health orders has almost been designed to help corporations and hurt people like you. >> we know it's easy to pick on us little guys, right? we don't have big pocketbooks where we can just, you know, change things on the fly or build new things, build new plexiglas things at our restaurant, we can't do a lot of the things that the bigger corporations can do and it's really hard as someone that's already struggling. >> tucker: you've had your business for a number of years, you fought to that early period where restaurants had to close,

you are about to expand and you got hit with this quarantine and you are out of business. april, what are you going to do next if you don't mind my asking? >> we actually did expand. we were in business for seven years, we just started our second location in august 2019 and that location is still operational, it was a baby, a baby business. it's still having all the struggles of a new business, and having the covid restrictions just pulled the rug out from underneath us. >> tucker: do you know what you're going to do now? >> we are going to run our colorado springs one and keep on fighting these restrictions. we have a lawsuit pending with our lawyer and we are going to try to reverse the orders and try to come you know, helps us not happen again to small businesses. >> tucker: just running a restaurant, that's not a crime. thank you so much for coming on tonight and good luck. >> thank you, tucker, good nig

good night. >> tucker: apparently we are just days from learning who joe biden would like to run the country, his vice presidential pick. the most important decision he will ever make. dana perino is here with a short list of possible candidates. that's next. ♪

musical >> tucker: apparently joe biden plans to announce who he is picking as vp sometimes in the next week. it's a highly consequential decision because, well, you know why. just yesterday, biden staffers forgot to tell us where he was before he took the stage and here's what happened next. >> good afternoon, everyone. welcome to the community center. actually, that's the one where i used to work. it was a joke, didn't know where we were. anyway, it's great to be here and back in a place where, you know... >> tucker: we are not mocking that, by the way, many of us

live long enough to be in the same place. things got worse when the candidate forgot what year it was. >> we had a relatively small population and at the time, and hispanic population, mostly puerto ricans, american citizens already pay but you know the 20/20 census which is now two censuses ago, or soon to be. >> tucker: he's not going to run the country. which lucky person will get you should joe biden win? dana perino is as knowledgeable on the subject as anybody in the world. cohost of the "the five," always happy to have her on our show. who do you think is likely, what does this tell us about candidates? >> you did a great job listing many of them in the opening monologue tonight. i do think that senator kamala harris is a real possibility, even president trump said she would be a good vice presidential pick for joe biden. the thing is when she was

running for president herself she didn't run a very good campaign and she became a worse campaigner as time went on. there's three things joe biden needs to think about when he makes this choice. first, he has to have somebody who is vetted, who has already had stories run about some of their past, somebody like kamala harris because she ran for president is somebody that you know little bit, she's been vetted. somebody like karen bass, congresswoman from california that you talked about at the top of the show would have to be introduced to america. the other thing... >> tucker: not to cuba, they know her there. >> exactly. this is a person who, as even joe biden has said, needs to be ready from day one. so one of the things you've seen candidates do over time is somebody like obama because he was young, he wanted somebody that was an old washington hand, he went for joe biden, that was a good choice for him. somebody like donald trump picks

a mike pence because that reassured conservatives and evangelicals. so for joe biden, does he need to go for somebody that has more vigor, a little bit youthful and also, whoever he chooses, he has to know that that person is going to plan to run for president starting november 4th. >> tucker: yeah, starting literally day one. i hate to press you since you're not just a guess, we are friends, but i cannot resist getting on tape you are a prediction for who he's going to pick. >> you know what? i think we could be surprised. i think that there might be somebody else even in a week. i will say that i do not believe that susan rice, who was president obama's national security advisor and is rumored to be on this list, i do not think she is going to be the choice, i think it would be a bad choice for him, i think the right would love nothing more

than to have susan rice be the choice. never campaigned. you have to have somebody was going to be willing to go after president trump and thrash his record. somebody like, harris has shown she can do that. look at tammy duckworth. from illinois. you know, she wants to fight, she's scrappy. i think susan rice is not going to have it so my prediction is it will not be susan rice. is that enough? >> tucker: no, that's interesting. susan rice is smart, i will say that. i don't agree with anything susan rice says. >> tucker: she would be a great chief of staff, i don't think that will help him on what is going to be close elections. >> tucker: stacey abrams, attorney general, my call. >> may be. >> tucker: i will be in bermuda, thanks. in school districts across the country, administrators are adopting a curriculum that is explicitly anti-american and

also, "the new york times" designed it. one u.s. senator says we ought to defund schools that teach our children to hate our country. that seems sensible. he will join us after the break.

♪ >> tucker: chicago, buffalo, new york, washington, d.c., and some of the school's plan to teach material 41619 project. that is in a historical curriculum based on essays published in "the new york times" magazine. it couldn't be flimsy or. students will learn if they follow the curriculum. cities like the united states actually founded in 1619 because that is when the first african arrived. they will learn american capitalism only exist because of slavery and american evolution continues and all of that is untrue. senator tom cotton introduced legislation called saving

american history act and it would pull federal funds from schools that use the curriculum. he's been attacked unfairly and highly aggressive and we are happy to have senator cotton on tonight. thank you for coming on. let me just say i watch the attacks on your character in response to this legislation and it is disgusting. i am glad you are facing them down. why do you think it is important to pass this? >> tucker come as you say the 19 project is a radical work of historical revisionism to indoctrinate our kids to hate america. to teach them that america was founded not on the natural quality of mankind and the freedom that flows from that as the declaration says but founded on racism. nothing could be further from the truth in 1619 project debunked by historians of the era like sean willits, and some of those are liberals. even the lead author recently admitted in response to my

legislation that the 1619 project is not a work in history. it is a work in journalism and i would say activism but your tax dollars should not be going to fund an effort to teach our kids to hate america. "the new york times" should not teach american history to our kids. >> sean: if the person who wrote it admits it's not history, why would we teach it as history and taxpayers across the country fund this garbage? why are not more senators joining with you to stop the brainwashing? >> that is a good question, tucker and especially since it happened the last few days in response to my legislation. the lead author said this is not his script of journalism. i would say activism and i would suggest the school board like you may not believe buffalo, washington reconsidered their decision to use a work of journalism, not a work of history debunked by the leading scholars of the era. >> sean: it is so interesting the attacks have been so unfair. and i just watched this. they are so fair and ferocious,

they are designed to send a message to other senators, don't get involved in the stuff. let us have full control of your kids minds. and it appears to be working. >> it's not working with me, tucker. look, the radical left can engage in all of the attacks against me that they want. but i will not back down when it comes to defending our country and defending what is great about america and teaching our children to be proud of america. >> sean: yeah, how about we just not lie to our kids and call it education. they are just lying. i'm rooting for you. i think this matters. very important. and bless you for doing it. thank you. >> thank you tucker. nothing else matters. what matters is what our kids believe because they are taking over soon, sooner than we expect. and if they grow up learning

that this country isn't worth defending or caring about or loving, we are in deep trouble. it is worth fighting against that. that is it for us. tune in every night 8:00 p.m. the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and group think. and with that, we turn it over to sean hannity. >> sean: tucker, changing and dangerous new york. welcome to "hannity." moments away from a special "hannity" investigation into new york city's rapid, dangerous decline, homelessness, drug use, violent crime wreaking havoc on the entire city. you want to see what $1 billion cut to the police budget looks like and the dismantling of new york's prestigious street crime police unit? you want to see what that looks like? we have that exclusive date. comrade de blasio, you might want to take note of this. this is all happening under your pathetic watch. this is your number one responsibility, and this is a
