♪ >> tucker: good evening, and welcome to tucker carlson. a dramatic scene in washington this afternoon, a man shot outside the white house. here is video from the moment it happened. >> it looks like they are just about to go down like topping records soon. >> excuse me. >> what's happening? >> tucker: john roberts was there when it happened inside the briefing room. he joins us tonight from the

white house on an update on what the story was about. >> good evening to you. we just got some new information from the u.s. secret service that says the investigation involved a shooting ongoing. a secret service officer was both transported to a local hospital and no time was the you white house complex breached. he was about 10 minutes to six. that was out on the north lawn. he heard a rapid succession of gunshots. it was going on at the corner of 17th and pennsylvania avenue just on the other side of the eisenhower executive office building. within a couple of minutes, the secret service agent who was stationed here with the president in the briefing room walked up to the president and said "sir, we have to leave, there has been shots outside the white house." the president was taken to an area outside the oval office where he waited a few minutes. you'll remember that when there

was protest going on across lafayette square, across the street from the white house, the president was whisked down to the bunker for a short time. he didn't want a repeat of that, so he got back to the briefing room just as soon as it was possible. again, according to the secret service, at no time did any individual bridge the grounds of the white house. at no time where the protect ease and danger. the secret service officer had a suspect taken to the hospital. no word on their condition, though one source told me the injuries didn't seem to be life-threatening. >> tucker: thanks so much for that. craziness, but it seems almost normal at this point in the nation's capital. over the weekend, 21 people were shot in a single incident and washington. more than half of them were women. one was a d.c. police officer. it was the single biggest mass shooting in america this year.

and you probably heard nothing about it. members of conferenc congress dk arms. news organizations barely touched the story. when they did, they moved on fast. you wouldn't help the biden campaign to talk about it, so they didn't talk about it. as far as we can tell, neither cnn or msnbc even mentioned it. 21 people shot in a group in our capital city and they acted like it didn't happen. but it did happen. we are showing it to you on the screen right now. 21 african-americans shot by gunmen, yet the media spent all weekend telling you about how simon cowell fell off his electric bike in malibu. because really, black lives matter. msnbc wants you to know that. it's grotesque. but it is now the role. dead bodies don't count unless they are politically useful dead bodies.

last month, gang members shot 15 people outside of a funeral home in chicago. we played some of the video of it on the show. it was very upsetting. the other channel did not play it. none of the hosts even mentioned the shooting. they didn't care. politicians didn't care either. bowser claims to care about black lives very much. black lives matter painted in yellow on the road leading to the white house just to underscore how much she cares. so how did muriel bowser respond within 21 african-americans were gunned down in her city? well, she talked about her coronavirus lockdowns. bowser has band gavin darian's of more people. this enraged muriel bowser. here's what the mayor said about the shooting yesterday "it's important as a community that we have a zero-tolerance for this kind of activity."

now to be perfectly clear, she was not talking about the mass shootings when she said we need zero-tolerance. she is happy to tolerate the violence. she often encourages it. what bowser won't put up with as citizens violating her lockdown orders. her chief of police reiterated that's point. in other words, shootings are acceptable as long as the police aren't involved. the media wholeheartedly agreed with this. violence does not bother them, they encourage it regularly. disobedience bothers them. this week motorcycle riders gathered in south dakota for their annual rally. some of them forgot their masks. this outraged our news media. the people on motorcycles were too masculine, too patriotic to

vote for joy biden. in other words, they bled onto the sidewalk. this is what your news anchors talked about. to speak of the bike rally is throwing tens of thousands of people to a small town in south dakota but could turn into a coronavirus super spreader. very little social distancing is what we are hearing. >> tell people what the odds are. tell them what the risks and dangers are, and let them decide. expect them to be responsible. >> tucker: to others, a reckless affront to common sense. and a coronavirus super spread spreader. oh, super spreader? otherwise, men who are unapologetic-no why male. in georgetown, one of the richest neighborhoods in the city, certainly in the country, a group of thugs making sure

that no one was sleeping. in georgetown, black lives matter are very common. they bought themselves peas but pain the indulgences with the correct political slogans. in fact, the neighborhood being safe is a crime. and they made it very clear. [shouting]. >> did you see that on cnn? meanwhile, back in georgetown, just in case the residents didn't feel threatened they then barricaded cambridge. it's the main bridge from

georgetown out of the city. blocking main arteries out of cities is an obvious threat to public safety. it's far more dangerous than any over attempted cookout. the police didn't stop it, they helped the mob. and once again the media collectively ignored all of it. what exactly did the liberal residents do to deserve this kind of abuse and harassment from a mob of joe biden voters? that's the core question. but no one on television wanted to talk about that. so they just ignored the entire thing. they are doing it all over the country. story after story ignored. it disappeared down the memory hole because it is politically inconvenient. in los angeles, for example, they voted to slash the l.a.p.d. budget by $150 million. he's very opposed to the police. but that didn't stop him from calling the police. since april, it turns out that cops have been called to his home eight separate times.

in his defenses that he didn't make the call. now, somehow the l.a.p.d. made the call. does that make sense? no, it doesn't make sense. but it's good enough for the newspapers in los angeles. guy who votes to defund the police calls them eight times to geif the lunatics from coming to his front door? last thursday, in portland, oregon, they don't have a government. they threw paint on an elderly woman. she made the mistake of trying to stop them from destroying a building. here's why this is so interesting. as the mob attacked her, they explained their agenda. "this isn't your world anymore" they shouted. put your mask on! boy, does that tell you everything. in chicago, they have dropped any pretense of ideology. this isn't about the election, they just want to steal things.

and in effect, the authorities they are, as they are in so many places, are allowing them to do that. early this morning, caravans of looters sacked downtown chicago. here is part of it. [shouting]. >> tucker: what country is this? and what is the just of purificatiojustification ofthat?

a lot of them believe it was justified. prefects for that was a false report that a teenager had been executed by the police. it was a lie, as it turned out. he had been killed after shooting at the police. we are so used to violence, justified, that few people seem to notice this difference. joe biden honored michael brown, the man killed in ferguson, missouri, after he violently attacked a store owner on tape. joe biden doesn't remember that part. he seems to consider him a martyr. it's hard to know who in america still believes these lies. most people no longer seem to believe anything they hear from politicians when everything is political, we learn to trust nothing. but one thing that israel, and will always be real, as the debris left behind. bullet holes are real. so are burned to stores. so are boarded up windows and terrified neighbors. that will always be real. and we have it.

so what will be the aftermath of all of this? what are america's cities going to look like a year from now? there's no question people will flee georgetown. they may have blm signs in their yards, but nobody wants that. no matter what they tell you. no matter what color they are. any other place where order and decency have disappeared, people will not live long with chaos. no matter what they tell you, no matter what signs they put in their yard, they will leave. and many of them have already left. we are about to see one of the great demographic shifts in american history. unless the insanity stops, our biggest cities will revert to what they were 50 years ago. broke, dirty, and dangers. on the bright side, it will have a justification problem. so a lot of college professors can have that.

we are happy to have you on the show including tonight. thank you so much for coming on. the extent to which we have seen this before every day makes my head swim. we have seen almost a perfect replay of this. we know what happens. if you would just briefly summarize what is almost inevitably going to happen when these riots stop. >> this is happened to so many times, like you said. this is being sought back during the michael brown incident, ferguson, baltimore. now it is on steroids. and for a while, shortly after the georgia flight incident, for a few weeks the left and the media gained some advantage. there was a shift in the political and cultural landscape as a result of their narrative that systemic racism and chaos was abroad and they thought that that would have a harm on trump. but it quickly spiraled out of

control. the media on the left don't want to report much about it, and they don't want to ascribe at least anything related to systemic racism to this. and that's why they have engaged in effectively a blackout of these incidents. but what we see on the ground as what was predicted after ferguson, after baltimore, and that is more than double digit spikes in the crime rate. 36 of the largest cities in the united states since june have had double digit spikes in homicide rates, let alone all of the violent crimes. that is going to consist of many big cities if not the majority of big cities that have already equaled the 2019 homicide totals by today. again, eminently predictable. and the backlash at the left and the media are witnessing is contributing to the blackout because they are concerned that because of the insanity related to defund the police is now going to go to the detriment of

the left democrats and it's going to have a cultural impact also. people are going to be fleeing the city's, these inner-city neighborhoods -- we have seen this over and over and over again. and now it is metastasizing into the broader environments such as the magnificent mile in chicago and more elite neighborhoods. the left understands that democrats understand that this does not help their candidate in november. and the media is carrying quite frightening right now for the left and for democrats, they will shut this down. >> the problem is you've got millions of unemployed young people who know they will not make as much as their parents. they know their future is dim, because it is. why would they suddenly revert to the way they were a year ago. can the left get this under control past a certain point? i'm skeptical. >> i think it could very well

devour them. this is different than ferguson, and it is qualitatively and quantitatively different than ferguson. they actually tried to change the sociological landscape, and that's going to take a while to put back into the bottle. that's a real problem. especially now, because they are trapped. they know they must defeat trump. they have no way out, they've been writing this for a while, and they don't want to antagonize block th black livesr movement. they are alienating average people who are same way to minute, what happens to me? and here's the real trouble in part four of democrats. 81% of blogspot police presence to be the same or greater because it's black neighborhoods that suffer most. it is spreading out into other neighborhoods, too. it is just two to 3% of those individuals shifting their vote to trump, game over.

>> tucker: amazing. thank you so much for that. the russia collusion story was so crazy it's hard to believe that everyone with a college degree in this country bought into it last year. you thought it was gone, but it's not. it is now back in full force. you need to be afraid, nancy pelosi says. russia is a country that controls us. we'll be right back. hike!

simon pagenaud takes the lead at the indy 500! coming to the green flag, racing at daytona. they're off... in the kentucky derby. rory mcllroy is a two time champion at east lake. he scores! stanley cup champions! touchdown! only mahomes. the big events are back

and xfinity is your home for the return of live sports. ♪ >> tucker: you might've thought this was a democracy in which voters choose their leaders. no, no, no. and this country, vladimir putin alone chooses who the president is. nancy pelosi believes that. watch. >> the chinese -- what they said was that china would prefer joe biden whether they do, that's there at the conclusion. russia is actively 24/7 interfering in our election. they did so in 2016, and they are doing so now. for the american believable tell my people, i believe they should decide, not vladimir putin.

>> tucker: vladimir putin making that decision for us. you thought it was gone forever, because it was too stupid toe continue. but no, the rush of lunacy is back. you will notice that pelosi does want biden to win. russiamp is in an economy the se of texas. unlike china, so pay no attention to the chinese buying full-page info commercials. or a pandemic on the world. note, no, no, russia is the county don't like country that controls our marionette strings. >> with this specificity, does this going into the question of trump allies like ron johnson who has picked up in the running with some of his propaganda against joe biden.

>> here we go again. this sounds awfully familiar. members of the u.s. senate are acting as a russian launderers of this information. that's should stop. >> tucker: senator ron johnson of wisconsin, seems like sensible moderate, right? no. ron johnson is working for vladimir putin. msnbc is on the case. >> russia is doing it again. nancy pelosi said it best with donald trump "all roads lead to putin.". >> they are passing up to the american people information that is an intercepted by the russian intelligence services intended to undermine faith in the american system. >> russia a can't believe were saying this, has friends in the u.s. senate who are helping

russia disseminate their talking points here. >> russia is actively working to "generate joe biden." the senator from wisconsin is also actively working to dumb a great joe biden. are they in cahoots? >> because when you can criticize joe biden, you are working for putin. hard to believe this is all happening. our front has been watching all of this for the past four years. you know glenn beck. we are happy to have them on. thanks a lot for coming. what you make of this? [laughter] speak out i'm living in in'm "alice in wonderland" where if i think -- if i drink that, then i get smaller. if i eat something, i get larger. nancy pelosi beats me. this is a completely upside down world. what they are saying is shocking. it russia might try to interfere on an election which is weird

because that's what i was reporting in 2014. and nobody would listen. they didn't care. then in 2015, 2016, 2017, glossary 18, '19. they are not alone like china. sure, we would rather have the guy we have already purchased and joe biden, but we would never do anything -- we would never do anything nefarious at all. do you have your chinese mask on yet? this is insane. >> tucker: not only is it insane, but it is also very familiar. we spent three years here in this. who do they hope to sway by resurrecting thisre nonsense? >> . really. they have all been bought and purchased in the media. if you want to talk about sway

in the election, let me ask you a couple of questions. why would we listen to a group of people who i think in iowa are still counting the ballots for the primary? who are literally still counting the ballots in th the new york primary. when did that happen? it wasn't ours ago, it was wee weeks. you have 84,000 incorrect ballots sent to the new york voters. incorrecincorrect absentee ball. half a million sent in just virginia. you don't haveir trustworthy machines to do it, now you want to expand and make sure that everybody is voting by mail. we all know that russia and china -- england might be in apt

at this point. they are not serious about fixing this at all. >> tucker: that is such a starsmart point. that is beyond belief. >> may i say -- >> tucker: go ahead. >> real quick, i just have to say, i think god every day that you are on television. i really do. i think you are the only person in mainstream media that is on it every night and people can trust and i thank you for all of your hard work and research and the guts that it takes to do this every single day. thank you. >> tucker: thank you, glenn. i appreciate that. great to see you. >> thanks a million. >> tucker: schools are set to reopen this month. the media doesn't want that because if the country returns to normal, then maybe we want to elect joe biden.

still ahead. andrew cuomo should be apologizing for his coronavirus response putting cobit positive people inside of nursing homes. but as you can imagine, he's not apologizing.

>> tucker: nothing helps the joe biden campaign more directly than hysteria over the coronavirus. the media is doing everything they can to fan it, including stopping schools from opening up. "the new york times," cbs news, cnn, some of the outlets running alarmist articles about children and coronavirus. that is true. this is alsovi true. a total of 15 children in that age range had died of the virus sinceav february. and many, many thousands of died of other causes. marc siegel joins us tonight for a run through the numbers.

dr. siegel, good to see you. >> good to see you, tucker. you know what some of those things have died from? child abuse. which is going unreported. lack of vaccinations against other diseases like measles. not getting proper nutrition. you are going to see depression, suicide, special needs not taken care of. all of that occurs if the schools don't open. of these 97,000 kids all have in common? almost all of them have mild cases. the same time the cdc, this did not go reported, 600 kids hospitalized since the beginning. weigh less than adults have been hospitalized. they get much milder cases. it's what we have to do to reopen the schools is to provide virtual learning for those most at risk. teachers most at risk. we have to have an infrastructure in place. we have to teach our kids about how to take proper precautions. we need our schools to be

centers for learning and centers for socialization and social skills. that will decrease the amount of despair and debts from noncove covid related cases. here is one of the things we have to do, sadly. no hugs,s, please. if you look at best, you will see this pen looks like something you might remember. no smoking, please. let's give these pins to all of our kids. sadly. i'm going to say this, no hugs please, guess what's going to happen? we are going to get 26 candidates for a vaccine coming out. vaccines are going to emerge, we are going to beat this thing, and then this goes in the garbage. and we are all going to hug each other. in thearba meantime, let's showr kids courage. they are looking to parents for leadership. leadership says to open the schools wherever we s can. >> tucker: i don't know if i

can go there. i'm a hugger. sorry. >> me too. good to see you tucker. >> tucker: so far, more than 20,000 new yorkers have died, that's more than germany and canada combined. the governor of new york, andrew cuomo, and the policy put in place is heavily responsible foi this.re his nursing home policy that directed coronavirus positive patience back into the homes and prevented nursing homes for making them go to hospitals. that may have been the single biggest factor and new york's astronomicaastronomical death c. governor cuomo is not taking responsibility. he is blaming everybody but himself. >>he anyone who wants to ask why did the state do that with covid patience in nursing homes? it's because the state followed president trump's cdc guidance.

who can we prosecute for those deaths? nobody. nobody. mother nature, god, and you had this political conspiracy theory that the deaths in nursing homes werere preventable. i think it was all politically motivated. if anybody looked at the facts, they would know that it was wholly absurd on his face. >> tucker: janice dean as our senior meteorologist here at fox. she lost both of her in-laws and facilities licensed by new york state to the coronavirus. she knows a lot abouto this topic, and she joins us tonight. thanks so much for coming on. i don't want to rub salt in this fresh wound, but to hear the governor of new york pass the buck on to the for his decision, how do you respond to that? >> he has blamed everybody except thed person that signed

the mandate, the order to bring covid patience into nursing homes. and that was andrew cuomo. he signed the order at the very beginning. he said listen, if you have a problem with what happens in new york, you blame h me. the bus stops at my desk. he has never taken any responsibility oras accountability, and does you just play it, has blamed everybody except himself. god, mother nature, fox news, "the new york post," mother nature, it's never ends. andneth today, he continued to e fox news and says there doesn't need to be an independent investigation. because a lot of this investigation was done by himself. into his administration. and of course, he came out clean. the people to blame where the nursing care the visitors. and by the way, we weren't allowed to visit my in-laws before they died. so i don't believeie that one.

>> tucker: so you live in new york, work in new york, your family was devastated by this decision. have you had a chance to tell governor cuomo that? >> no, i had a chance to speak today. i filled out all of the paperwork and i sent letters to assemblymen and lawmakers, new york state lawmakers before the hearings today. they were actually august the 3rd. last monday and today. they couldn't fit me in last monday, but they said they would put me on today to give me my 5 minutes to talk about my in-laws.nd and why i hold the governor partly responsible for their deaths. that invitation was responded rd after he said i would have my 5 minutes, and i never got that. i think you for being good on your word and having me on your program today. >> always. even under sad circumstances

like this but i appreciate you coming on and i'm very sorry once again. >> they give for following the story. i appreciate it. >> tucker: thank you. joe biden, once you get underneath the man and what he is proposing, has backed the overwhelming majority of disagreeing with. we are not talking about those very often, why not? that's next. by the way, we are all waiting for joe biden to pick his running mate. that's likely to happen sometime this week. you are hearing once again what we told you last week that susan wright is the front runner for that job. we will tell you when we learn more. we will be right back. simplifies protection. ticks and fleas? see ya! heartworm disease? no way! simparica trio is the first chewable that delivers all this protection. and simparica trio is demonstrated safe for puppies.

♪ >> tucker: america just got a lot poorer and a lot more dangerous. people are veryop worried about those two problems. but over on the joe biden campaign, a major focus remains transgender issues. whatever you think of that

category doesn't apply to a lot of americans. it shows that the word transgender appears more oftenen than the word any quality or the word taxes. joe biden supports allowing biological men to compete against biological women in sports. polls show most americansly overwhelmingly oppose this idea. why doesn't the trump campaign mentioning this? one campaign claims men can get pregnant, which is insane.nd and the other campaign doesn't say anything about it. political reports that toppa advisors to the campaign are reluctant to talk about it because it's embarrassing. so it goes unchallenged. terry schilling is the executive director of the american jeinciples project. he is not embarrassed of it, he thinks it matters. things were coming on. >> thanks having me. >> tucker: this is a question of denying science, biology, and changing the definition of

biological. that's the foundation of all humanca society. so it's not really a small issue, it's a big issue. wise and the reelection campaign mentioning this? >> the thing about this -- frankly, i don't know why people are not pickingit this up. we found that three quarters of americans, including 53% of joe biden's own supporters, oppose allowing transgender boys, boys that identify as girls, to compete in women's athletics. this is a super majority. first and foremost, as a political activist, i'm very concerned aboutti thei their laf willingness to take this as you want. as a father, i have five kids. and hopefully my wife will give me four or five more. my two oldest are girls. and frankly, the idea that thest guys are going to allow my daughters who are both athletes

have their scholarships and their athletic opportunities taken away as incredibly stupid. and we need to push the republican a party to work hard on these issues, because there's no losing this whatsoever. >> tucker: it's not about attacking people, it's fine. i think most americans are very tolerant in that way. but the idea that we have to pretend that there is no is totally insane. so why would we sit back and let people forcee us to not as they say something we all know is false? >> tucker, that's the thing. we are not letting them do that. and that's the whole point of an american principles project. we are building for families. all of these political organizations, they organize gun owners, seniors, but no one is there funding the family. we decided to put this campaign together and not ask permission. and that's what we are doing here.e we are running the ads, forcing the issue, and we are going to show them how to attack joe biden and get some political

points that way. >> tucker: and defend reality, which i think is always worth defending. thanks so much. >> you to. >> tucker: always notice how the least impressive people are also the least self-aware? that's very true at cnn. we have been watching in his spare time and joins us to come down not. ♪

♪ >> tucker: cnn took a quick break from the usual programming encouraging looting and mask wearing outside to come out to take jobs at this channel, watch. >> when you see an entire media company essentially to handle joe biden is there an equivalent on that? >> there really isn't. >> tucker: that's a really good point. if a nobody criticizes trump in the media and i think what we need more of our people

attacking trump. it turns out to people who were work over at the cable news network, they watch this channel full-time so we put together some clips for their edification. >> it is what it is, mr. president. if you are who you are, it's a pandemic. you don't give. a damn. the meg mok i had to carry a certain connotation, especially for marginalized people. >> people are using mind control but how is that conceivable? >> he does not love mercy, he's intentionally unkind, me too opponents. >> thehe president of the united states as a fraud and a con man. >> hughes human he is human garbage.that's whatr

people who hate self-help, joining us now. maybe a dozen that attack the president and where would you find the channel there are no where. >> i can find them anywhere, i've to be careful when i'mpp trapped there and for someone like you cnn that would be on, just indefinitely telling americans, by the way, saying that there is no anti-trump network. you're denying the existence. that's like neil armstrong, neil armstrong denying the moon landing or mcdonald's denying the existence of hamburgers. it exists and you produce it daily and it's a massive industry and cnn is a hood ornament and trump did not need the publicist. just pushing the books, by the way, i don't get why they deny this it's the special sauce. this is like france denying mines and mimes.

just denying mimes. if you took all of the anti-trump content from cnn, all you would have left is a case of empty botox cartridges outside don levin's dressing room. >> tucker: i can get over it. like france denying mimes. i would thinking, bear or baguettes but you went right there and good for you. part-time shrink, do you think that the cnn anchor who made the point was sincere or does not watch his own channel or just a lie so obvious he thought people might believe it? i dickie believes in it. it's a bubble induced bias and it's almost indistinguishable from ay it's a delusion. think about the ways that people have denied. they laughed at the rise in

shootings in chicago. three weeks ago, remember that, they denied to the looting and they like to conflate the looting and the vandalism with peaceful protests. they accuse others of that cri crime. they denied that joe biden is coming before they're nice. he can ride a bike. if he can ride a bike! fantastic. >> tucker: really strange. it's a coalition of the unhappy over there. the one thing that they have in common, it's true. that's totally true. by the way, i don't think you could see it right there. >> that sexist, they also hit tetheir moms. at that sexist. >> tucker: probably some resentment there. >> greg gutfeld, great to see y. >> as always, it is great to see me. >> tucker: we have burned through the entire hour.
