to noon. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." things have changed so fast, so dramatically this year that it's hard to remember what a very different country this was on new year's morning. back then, a little over sevenhi months ago, the u.s. felt politically volatile. it definitely was. there was an election coming. but it still felt fundamentally american. there was no mistaking this country for any other country. we were not mexico. or luxembourg or burundi, we definitely weren't china. most of our consumer goods did seem to be manufactured days about our way of life, our system, our society, seemed to be the very chinese were

enslaved. was the difference not one and a january for example, dr. anthony fauci at the time, not yet a the american medical association to talk about america's response to the explained the authoritarian measures the chinese government had taken in america none of that would b cities. so rather than say historically it doesn't do much good, which is true, i think it's important to wait and see that maybe the chinese, because of the state of

their society, that they are able to do that. i mean, as you well know, there's no chance of the world that we could do that to chicago or to new york or to san francisco. >> tucker: as you well know, there was no chance in the world that we could do that to chicago or to new york or to san francisco. that's what fauci said. note his use of the word "to." it was doing it to his people, not for them. in other words, these were punishments, not remedies, and none of that whatever be around here in a free country. it just couldn't happen in america. his words seemed quite now, like a fax machine or a or black and white photograph. fauci has since become one of the most strident advocates of the chinese response to coronavirus. but he'sor hardly alone in that. yesterday the mayor of new york announced that he plans to erect armed checkpoints around the p premiere of the city and use plainclothes government agents to follow citizens to their homes.ci it would have been impossible to

imagine any of that in january. yet his announcement didn't seem especially shocking.'t we are used to it now. that's all similar to china we have become. it's a big change. c but like all seismic shifts, it happened incrementally before it happened overnight. for years we watched our leaders prostrate themselves before the chinese government. most of us just assumed they were greedy, that's why they were doing it, china was paying their bills, so they bowed. we never imagined they actually admired the chinese system. but they did. and that became clear with the arrival of the coronavirus. the first tip was that resolute refusal to admit where the virus came from. one strong evidence emerged, from chinese scientists, that the disease originated in a lab in wuhan, our leaders immediately and adamantly dismissed it as a conspiracy theory. they didn't want to know more. their first instinct was to defend china. they didn't want the chinese system discredited.

that seemed confusing, but we soon learned why. the democratic political activist isal eq manual was amog the first to reveal how the left plan to use the pandemic to change the united states. here he is on msnbc four months ago this week.ee >> realistically, covid-19 will be here for the next 18 months or more. we will not be able to return to normalcy until we find a vaccine or effective medications. all that economic pain worth trying to stop covid-19? the truth is, we have no choice. >> tucker: oh, the truth is we have no choice. except in a democracy we always have the choice. that's why it's different from an autocracy. in a democracy on the big questions the public gets to decide what the public wants. the people rule. if that's the whole point of the american system. but the left had no plans to let the public decide anything.

so instead, they issued resolute decrees, remain at home, wear a mask, do not congregate with others. no one asked voters what they thought about any of this, democracy played no role in it. the orders came down, men with guns and forced the orders, the government used sophisticated technologies to track down anyone who disobeyed them. just like in china. here's los angeles mayor eric a garcetti. >> this has really been marvelously embraced by 99.9% of people. we see it in the traffic data. we see it in a cell phone data, but we are going to hunt down that last 1% and say you've got. to get inside, you've got to cut it out and you've got to distance. >> tucker: most people obey, but "we are going to hunt down the last 1%." in other words, no dissent of any kind aloud, just like in china. in china, thee government loads this obedient city of sins into trucks i and carts them away. we have that happening.

in los angeles they just starve you out, the take away your water and your electricity. >> these large parties are unsafe and can cost them their lives. that is why tonight i am authorizing the city to shut off los angeles department of water and power service in the egregious cases in which houses, businesses and other venues are hosting unpermitted large gatherings. >> tucker: recognized that?og in some ways, all authoritarian societies are the same. they are characterized by corruption, a lack of social trust and a deep cynicism about government. all those attitudes are endemic in china. suddenly they are nearly universal in this country. the public understands that our leaders are lying to us. politicians use lockdowns for political ends. in the name of public health they were award supporters and they punish their opponents. they are hiding this anymore. they've done it since day one o but most of us wrongly assumed that our bill of rights would prevent them from going too far.

that was our backstop against tyranny, but we were wrong. the bill of rights has not prevented themth from doing essentially what they want to do. ft state after state, governors for example have targeted the faithful on the assumption that most traditional christians do not vote democrat, therefore they must be punished. banning the exercise of religion is unconstitutional, obviously, it's a direct violation of the letter and the spirit of the first amendment. it never happened before, but they have made it happen, they've done it anyway. as in china, our government has enthusiastically persecuted christians. here's new jersey governor phil murphyri explaining. >> you have closed church services and synagogue services and arrested people for attempting to attend them. did anyone say that may be practicing your faith might be important to someone's mental health? >> listen, i think we had a very good, good common ground with faith leaders of literally every

faith who understand this. >> tucker: so listen carefully, governor murphy says he has reached agreement with those faith leadership "understand this." he doesn't say anything about the faith leaders who "don't understand this," the leaders who inside like to worship their god as the constitution guarantees that they can. there's no common ground for them. they will be arrested just as they are in china. where can theyth fight back?re in a free society, self-defense is the most basic right. all other rights rest upon it. self-defense is illegal in china and suddenly it's illegal in this country too. then democratic parties militia loot stores, deface our status, attack people with impunity. they are rarely punished for doing it. yet americans are try to protect their families from the violence face the full range of the state. they risk going tol jail. they have been indicted. as in china there are no two standards of justice. the party has decided who can be

armed. everyone else must submit. it wasn't always this way in the united states.in in fact, until recently, we had a functioning constitution. but anyone who remembers that is a threat to the state, history itself is a threat to the state. in china, there is no history. like religion, the past is purely a political tool to be shaped by temporal leaders seeking to protect their power. in place of god, the state offers secular cults in which citizens worship party approved political martyrs. doesn't sound very american, but suddenly it is. >> we are here to honor george floyd. for those who wish to, we will now kneel for our moment of silence. >> tucker: anyone who challenges the cults, who refuses to join it, who won't

kneel before it is punished. and then their complaints are scrubbed from a permanent reco record. chinese censors scour the internet to make certain danger ideas never reach the public. does that's unfamiliar to you? that's where our tech oligarchs learned it. the united states in other words, very clearly is becoming very much like china at very high speed. that doesn't mean the two countries are identical. there are still real differences between them. in china for example, leaders still think beyond the next election. theyd don't have real elections, so they can take a long-term view. in china they understand countries in which the population is dividedco against itself, countries in which citizens have nothing meaningful in common with one another are weak countries and over time, countries like that are doomed. and so china emphatically rejects identity politics. it's illegal there. leaders in china don't narrow cast to tiny constituencies based on their "identity." the idea is appalling to them.

the chinese focus instead on national identity. they don't worship diversity, they promote unity. and that's why long-term they believe that they willte win. the chinese also believe, and this is another striking difference, that their economy is worth saving. they didn't destroy it with coronavirus quarantine, harsh as they were. unlike the united states, china was a poor place until fairly recently and so they know firsthand that poor countries are powerless and they don't want that. in other words, the chinese care about themselves and their future, and that's one thing we can actually learn from them, but we don't seem toro be. chris bradford is the senior editor of "the federalist," he joins us tonight, we're happy to have it. thanks so much for coming on. do f you notice the wholesale countrywide change in attitudes at least among our leaders but among them iny the last seven months? >> yes especially. >> tucker: yes. especially in the last seven months. >> tucker: all of a sudden we resemble what we said we hated.

>> they've been laying the groundwork to that for a while. to your end point, american left is different from a lot of the global elite liberal left in there the only one that don't like their country. the cubans, the soviets, the chinese, they are all fiercely patriotic. we don't have that, but we have a lot of the other things. we had the insidious phrase that you're on the wrong side of history. our silicon valley and our tech giants build a lot of the technology that the chinese are now using to oppress their people. "the new york times," to barack obama have prayed the chinese system to pass some of the ordinances like the new green deal and what they think is absolutely essential that we are seeing it more and more. and now we are seeing their foot soldiers, which the chinese use, mao used to really instill fear and make everyone know in china that not a single person is above the law to attack institutions you thought were untouchable, whether it was the founders and then it got to the saints. it starts off with tearing down catholic saint statues and

desecrating churches, and before you know it places like "the washington post" are attacking my neighborhood priest and we are talking in l.a. with garcetti, they're going to turn off the power, they're saying they're going to go after parties. they're going to go after churches in places that refused to shut down, places like harvest rock that are suing the state of california and saying that they have a right to gather juster like the protesters do. it's a double standard completely, it's a new system. >> tucker: we are going to spend a lot of the rest ofes tonight's show in specific ways comparing the way america is evolving to the way china is. but ihi want to get back, becaue i think it's a really interesting and smart point at what you said at the outset, the difference between the revolutionaries in our country is that the american left hates its own country. so what that looked like long-term, how can people who hate a country run it? >> i don't think they can. i think that unfortunately if

they were to win, if the liberal left were to win and those were very much against the liberties that we cherish, pick and choose where to win and at the same time hate our country, it's going to be difficult for this republic to stand. we were warned very clearly by the geniuses that came together and designed the system that it's a very unstable system. it relies on a culture that is united, it relies on people who are moral. it relies on a republic. r right now they are moving closer and closer to mob rule, corporatist technocratic role run by people who think this country is evil at its core and trying to divide us in a way that you point out, china is not divided. a country that's divided likech that is going to have a typical time -- difficult time standing. i worry about that, what happens if the selection goes this way or that election goes that way? i don't know if republicans or democrats or other party are able to deal with these. it's going to be up to us on the local level, the churches, the civil organizations that they are targeting right now, because they know those of the only chance we have a resisting this

kind of uprising. >> tucker: it's pretty easy to destroy things, you divide people, that's the first step. but for them to endure, there has to be some common purpose or identity. you have to be united in something and i don't hear anybody thinking what that is. >> even at them. >> tucker: even anthem. especially then anthem. while, mobs of people, really a coalition of the unhappy, is tearing down statues,ng desecrating monuments, but that destruction is more than simply symbolic. it's a deliberate effort to erase history to separate us from our past and its useful lessons and distract from the problems that are affecting americans today. in chicago, for example, more than 50 people have been shot with guns this week. politicians are now moving to erase american history altogether. state representative lashawn ford is calling on the illinois taboard of education to abolish all history classes and all schools statewide, claiming that

teaching american history leads to racism. jason hill is the author of the book "we have overcome," professor at depaul university in chicago where we are happy to have a montagnais. professor, thanks so much for coming on. so eliminating all history,el explain if you will what you think the idea is behind this. >> well, thank you for having me again, tucker. i think what we're seeing in the educational system is systemic nihilism, so let's go back a step further. a couple weeks ago rutgers university declared that grammar was racist. grammar is the science that deals with the proper method of oral and written communication. when you attack grammar, you attack language, which is the method of cognition, you attack man's mind. if you attack his ability to reason. if you attack man's mine, which means you leave us on the level of grunting farm animals, so you leave us incapacitated to reason, to think, and then you

take away the history. you take away human history. you take away our constitutional rights, our bill of rights, our second amendment, first amendment, the timeworn principles which we use to defend our way of life.. you're looking at systemic nihilism. you're looking at the antichrist as far as i'm concerned. you're looking at a bunch of nihilists and anarchists that want to destroy a system and replace it with nothing, nothing at all. they want to destroy the good f for the sake of it being the good. i have been warning -- i talked about this on b your show, that these postmodern nihilists that started from back in the '60s when we had the state discipline attacking reason, valorize same feelings as the only criteria for adjudicating disputes, one's feelings and one's feeling of being offended as their own

criteria and for adjudicating disputes and for dispensing with reasoned objective reality and logic as the construct of imperialist racist white man. that's what we're seeing today and so you dispense with -- you dispense with historyer altogether. >> tucker: i'm transfixed by what you just said. i hope that this finds its way on the internet and is viewed by many, professor, because i think you just put it as crisply as i've ever heard it, what's happening and it's a scary as you say it hurried so much for joining us, i hope you keep teaching for a long time. >> thank you. >> tucker: christianity is under attack in this country, not the episcopal church but actual christianity. churches are closed, rioters are burning bibles in the street. we are not connecting the dots, probably because we don't want to, but that doesn't make it any less real. next. ♪ so what's going on?

i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh...i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 8 million dogs. nice. and...the talking dog thing? is it bothering you? no...itching like a dog is bothering me. until dogs can speak for themselves, you have to. when allergic itch is a problem, ask for apoquel. apoquel is for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of atopic dermatitis in dogs. do not use apoquel in dogs less than 12 months old or those with serious infections. apoquel may increase the chance of developing

♪ >> tucker: since the day it was founded, the united states is been a refuge for people from the world to worship their gods as they choose. that's precisely why so many of our first european settlers came here. when they wrote our constitution, in the first amendment to the

bill of rights, the explicitly particular religious freedom. unlike countries around the world, particularly like china, which openly persecute christians, unfortunately america as we noted in the last block is becoming much more like what we say we hate. many states have canceled in-person church services under the pretext of protectingur us from the wuhan coronavirus. places like new jersey and california consider christianity "nonessential" unlike abortion clinics or liquor stores, lotto ticket kiosks. none of this is related to s science, of course, it's about o punishing people they don't think about for them, and if you don't believe it asked the rioters, they were down to burn a stack of bibles in oregon, if you tried it with a quran, you would be in prison immediately. the bible is no problem. why? because democratic leaders in congress despised traditional christians because they don't vote for them. here's house majority whip jim clyburn explaining his view on

fox. >> i don't know anything about burning bibles -- >> another thing that's outny there. >> everybody's got their own religion. i know the bible, both new and old testaments very well so just because -- that's their busine business. so burning a bible doesn't do anything about burning down a federal building. i don't know if i've seen -- what federal building has been under threat. >> tucker: what does that even mean? it doesn't mean anything, but we will tell you what it isn't, and that's a declaration of disapproval of rioters burning bibles. and if you can't say that, there's probably a reason you can't say that. what is that reason? erika stop the right, author of the book "if you a could keep i" we are happy to have a t montagnais. thanks so much for coming on. why is it so hard for a democratic leader to say

unequivocally i'm against a tax on -- why is it so hard for republican leaders to do anything about it? >> it's ignorance. it he reminds me of biden. animated wax works dummy who has no idea of our history. he just wants to cling to power. he hasn't thought it through, he has no idea, just like, you kn know, maybe 50 years of americans have no idea, we have forgotten that freedom is utterly impossible on the american model without the values we got from the bible. it doesn't mean we can force people to be christians or anything absurd like that but the point is all of the founders understood that the bible -- it wasn't just a sacred book for, some people, it was what gave us the west and what led to the idea of freedom and self-government and when you a attack that, you're not just attacking a few people who believe in that book, your

attacking foundational ideas that most of our certainly career politicians have no clue about anymore. >> tucker: so christianity among other things limit the excesses of the state, this is why all authoritarian governments hate it, because when your population worships a. actual god, that suggests that you are not god and there'sre something that you can't do. so without it, there's nothing they can't do, isn't that the whole point? >> that is precisely the point. say he is lord in china or try it in north korea, try it in trop or chaz or whatever it was called, there are certain things that are so fundamentally threatening, the bible and people who say "i have a higher authority than the state," i will bowl to nothing but the gy that i worship, those people are tremendously frightening to

authoritarian leaders. hitler was one of them. he played patty-cake with theure church until the gloves came off and he made it very clear that those people are the enemy, they are my real threat and if i can defang them, if i can take power, then they will be utterly defanged and if i can keep them quiet -- so any questions who are not absolutely -- i don't mean just christians, any patriotic americans, any people who understand the role faith has played in our history, if you do not stand up and push back with everything you have against the idea that we can be a secular nation, a secular nation will ultimately be china. it will be a place where the faucis of this world will and can tell you what to do by force and when people are burning bibles and american flags, you might as will be cutting your hands off. these are the two things that have created more human flourishing that have lifted human dignity on a level we've

never seen in the history of the world. those of the two things. if you're burning those things, something suggests to me that you don't understand that. >> tucker: you. we should also say they went after it in a big way, the orthodox in new york and new jersey who persisted in worshiping their gods. >> of course. >> tucker: they were arrested for. eric, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> tucker: politically motivated prosecutions are a hallmark of a banana republic. now it's coming here courtesy of the new york attorney general and the governor andrew cuomo. the attorney general of new york has decided to use her powers to destroy a political group that she doesn't like. the national rifle association.a we will tell you how and why she's doing that, next. ♪

>> tucker: it wasn't that long ago you may in fact a member that the irs under barack obama was forced to apologize for

targeting, harassing, persecuting conservative nonprofits. it took several lawsuits because they keptno lying about it, but the irs finally was forced to admit the obvious, that they were doing it and that it's wrong, you shouldn't target organizations because you disagree with their political elites, that's corruption. we might have a new administration soon, it won't be run by joe biden if he wins, obviously, it will be controlled by the same people who went after conservative groups under barack obama, they will be in charge. what will they do once they are? we have a preview tonight, thanks to the attorney general of new york, letitia james, the nra, james has decided, must be destroyed immediately. >> just a few minutes ago my office filed a lawsuit against the national rifle association to dissolve the organization in its entirety. >> tucker: it's hard to overstate how third world this lawsuit is. the attorney general is alleging that the national rifle association must be destroyed because it's getting too involved in politics,, which of

course it's allowed to dupe, legally. she's also upset about what she calls u self-dealing, not clear exactly what that means.t even before james took office in 2019, she promised to bring them to a commercial with a man and i will find you the crime. james is from that school. we got some incentive to provide the marching orders -- the nra says that her predecessor, eric schneiderman, or member him? he had to leave because of personal problems, admitted that he was pressured by "powerful political interests" to bring in major lawsuits against thela nr. why? because democrats blames the nra for trump's win four years ago. and by the way, they did help get donald trump elected. the nra has, for decades, been the single most effective get out the vote, late campaign operation the republicans have. and this year they were planning, apparently, to spend

up to $70 million helping republicans. now they won't, why? because they've been sued, so defensively they will probably hold back a lot of that money for their legal defense. so if you wanted to short-circuit republicans in november's election, you would go after the nra, and that's exactly what they've done. now there's one person we know who is not troubled by all of this and that's joe biden. >> sifter gun owners out there who say, well, it biden administration means they're going to come for my guns. >> bingle, you're right if you have an assault weapon. the fact of the matter is they should be illegal, period. 150 million people have been killed since 2007, more than all the wars, including vietnam from that point on. carnage on our streets. i'm going to tell you if i'm elected, i'm coming for you and gun manufacturers, i'm going to take you out. >> tucker: he's an idiot come of course. the facts were wrong, but the point remains, they will disarm

you if you don't support them politically. that isu the plan, just like in china, and this is the first step. associated editor of political journal, he has a good sense of what the attorney general of new york is up to. he joins us tonight, seth, thanks so much for coming on.uc are you allowed come in the united states, just refresh my memory because things are changing fast, if you're the government, toch shut down your political opposition with lawsuits, can you do that? >> well, i don't think you're supposed to. i think that kind of goes against the spirit of the law. perhaps not the letter. they seem to do that pretty we well.ha i think you're right that it is an attack on -- you know, it's an electorally based attack, bub also it's a major distraction from the fact that shootings have gone up radically in new york city in the last few months.

this is a typical diversion attempt to blame the shootings on someone other than the bad ideas of mayor bill de blasio and governor andrew cuomo and the democrat party. and the last few months they've led thousands of people out of jail. they've changed the loss of basically no one gets remanded on bail. they essentially sat on the police and made it impossible for them to do their jobs effectively, and so as a result, gangs are involved in just a spate of violence all over brooklyn, the box, upper manhattan. and shootings are up like 200% in new york city. so i think a lot of this is -- you know, whenever this happens in chicago or d.c. or new york, the local leaders blame the nra and responsibleam gun owners and they say there's an iron pipe line guns coming into our cities, but magically they only go off when they get into theet

cities. >> tucker: so the nra exists to preserve your rightht to defd your family froms violence. if you have leaders who are y simultaneously encouraging violence and then working to prevent you from defending yourself against it, you should be concerned, shouldn't you be? >> i think you should be very concerned. there's a lot of violence on the streets of new york right now, y robberies are up, assaults are up. knife things are up. i think ideally everyone would be armed. new york city has very strict gun laws, but it doesn't seem to be stopping b them. >> tucker: you. i would say just the opposite. seth, thank you so much for coming on site, thank you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: so bill de blasio is famously may be the most inept mare in the united states, part of the way that manifests itself, tells people to do things that he wouldn't do himself. many example, the latest room

yesterday, reporter asked the mayor with the mandatory implicit bias training. the brainwashing sessions ubiquitous across america now. we are told this is necessary to guard against the scourge of micro aggressions or like the leaders tell us as businesses are burned to the ground that we must attend the session. here's how bill de blasio responded. >> you often talked about the implicit bias training thatof members of the nypd have to go through. w i'm wondering if you have done that same training or your team at city hall o to address her on implicit biases and to learn how those micro and macro aggressions attack your behavior and decision-making. >> i think it's something that everyone of us should be thinking about at all times. i think it certainly conversation that we have had for years about how this society has coded us all in a very

negative way that has to be weeded out. that's part of why we also will be, very soon, instituting a commission on racial justice and reconciliation, to formally identify the racist realities in so many of our institutions. >> tucker: yeah, this guy can't get an msnbc show soon enough. but if you listen carefully, bill de blasio doesn't go to implicit bias training, because why wouldd he, because unlike you, he's a good person. in a conversation with hillary clinton,ll bill de blasio uttered a phrase that would get everyone else in america fired but certainly sent to implicit bias training. here's what he said. >> i just have to say thanks for the endorsement, bill. took you long enough.

>> sorry, hillary. i was running on cp time. >> tucker: oh, bill de blasio, examine your privilege! but of course he won't, that's for you to do. next up, a teenager in the l.a. county jail system was prescribed estrogen in an effort to control his behavior. think about that. speaking of china. if his lawyer joins us next to explain what happened and why. ♪at

♪ >> tucker: officials of the los angeles county juvenile detention center forced a 16-year-old inmate to take estrogen in order to change and modify his behavior. hard to believe that happened but apparently it did. civil rights attorney representing the teenager in the suit and we are happy to have themre tonight. thanks so much for coming on. >> thank you. >> tucker: tell us how this happened, why happen, if it's ever happened before. it sounds almost impossible to believe.

>> yes. so my client was a 16-year-oldld male who was detained downtown near downtown los angeles at the juvenile hall and about two days after he first came and arrived there, he was seen by doctors without his parents permission' and they, for whatever reason, decided to diagnose him with a condition called oppositional defiant disorder. otherwise known as odd and there was no psychology test on. if there was no psychiatric testing done. and the problem is that oppositional defiance disorder, otherwise a psychological issue that needs that type of testing and what exactly happened was they came down with that diagnosis and on the same day they prescribed him a dosage of estrogen and they never told his parents or him but they were

going to make him take it. and the theory is that with odd, it's associated with higher levels of testosterone, which is also correlated with higher levels of delinquency and so, we believe in this lawsuit that he was prescribed on the same day this level of estrogen in order to o counteract his testosteron, which they deemed was elevated at the time. the problem is that that's an unfounded medical treatment. there is no scientific proof that that t exists. and what makes it even worse is that they refused to tell him what they were forcing him to take and when he refused to take the medication, saying i'm not going to take this medication, you haven't told me what it is, they told him he couldn't refuse and because he had a pending juvenile the link once the case, he felt that if he continued to refuse, it would have negative

impact on the ultimate results or punishment he was going to receive in the juvenile court. >> tucker: so this -- this -- t he believes, you believe, caused him to grow breasts. >> immediately after taking the medication he developed a condition called [inaudible] and what that is is a growth of the tissue in the breast region and essentially what happened was, you know, all the kids of the juvenile hall noticed immediately and were making fun of him when they were showering or when they would have to go outhe to exercise, go to the pol to go to p/e. his parents, who visited him on a regular basis, all noticed right away that there was some type of growth on his chest and being a 16-year-old male was already pretty self-conscious

and trying to get used to is developing body -- yes. >> tucker: it's grotesque. it's also a metaphor for what they're doing to the contrary, right, they hate testosterone above all else. i wish we had more time. this is a remarkable story. taking your word that it's true, but i just have never heard anythingki like it and i hope ts is the only time it's ever happened and help you prevail, thank you for coming on tonight. >> thank you. thank you. >> tucker: major cities on the verge of completely gutting its police department, worrying now that's just the beginning of the changes they make. it's hard to read the scripts and think it's real, but it is real and we will have details after the break. ♪

>> tucker: things are going to be more re radical and cutting f officers and hundreds more said to be chopped next year. the proposal coming next week,

hosted in seattle following closely and joining us tonight. jason, will this happen? >> yes, it's almost certainly going to happen on monday. it just to give some context we have about 1300 officers right now in seattle. if we need to have about -- for the size of seattle. if instead of investing in police officers that are going to cut up to 100 in the coming weeks. if the vote takes place on monday and they will get rid of school resource officers and they actually protect students, s.w.a.t. team members because well i guess we don't need them given that we've had many mass shootings over the course of the last few years. most alarmingly, because we've been talking about the homelessness crisis, they're going to completely got something called the navigation elteam and this is a specialized group of officers and social workers who go into homeless encampments filled with human wastes and use needles and they connect these folks with shelter. they don't allow themsh just to camp out wherever they want to camp out. because they are removing the

encampments, the council decided that it is inhumane. more humane to keeping them in their own filth and so the homelessness crisis will get a lot worse here in seattle. while we are having a surge in gun violence likese the rest of the country that's likely going to get worse as well. >> tucker: dark forces have dissented. very quickly, is anyone standing up against this? >> no, not local government but the sunday there's going to be a pro police rally and usually conservative simple pro cop folks because we have jobs and lives and responsibilities unlike the left and so we're actually going to get together thisis sunday and hopefully enoh people will come out to tell the council there on the wrong side of this and the three poles that came out saying the exactly same thing that we don't need the 50% cut and see if they're actually going to listen to the right side this time. >> tucker: they try that in colorado and people got hurt. good luck. jason randy, thank you. we are out of time and will be

back tomorrow night. the show is always now the enemy of smugness, groupthink, pomposity standing life from new york society. >> sean: >> sean: new york city, which means you are stupid to live here because you pay more and if andrew cuomo cooks you dinner and buys you a drink, you're going to pay tens of thousands of dollars if you are dumb enough to come back, and i'm dumb enough to be here. pmo tucker, thank you. >> tucker: at least he is cooking you dinner! >> sean: i'm glad. busy night tonight. welcome to "hannity." the left is getting very desperate and the attorney general trying to dissolve the national rifle association with a new lawsuit. really? just 89 days before the election. sounds like weird timing to me. so is the state of new york using taxpayer money to interfere in the 2020 election? why now? we'll explain. i think there are other priorities the state should be concerned about, like safety and the lives of citizens. we'll investigate that.
