10:00 tonight eastern time for live coverage of the speakers of the democratic national convention and analysis. all that coming up when you stay with fox news tonight for your latest in democracy 2020. see you soon, everybody. a couple hours away. ♪ ♪ speeches of the democratic national convention start tonight in about an hour. bernie sanders, michelle obama, john kasich on deck, used to work here at >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." it's amazing how quickly a civilization goes backward. it takes just a moment to destroy it. as it turns out, that can happen anywhere. just three months ago, this was a different country.

whatever its problems, america in the spring of 2020 was making good on its basic principle. all men are created equal in the eyes of god and in the laws of the united states. most people believe that was true. that's why they came here. this country offered opportunities and safeties to everyone regardless of what they looked like. we were proud of that. we had a right to be proud. and then, over memorial day, a man died in police custody in minneapolis. our leaders responded to his death in an unexpected way. they decided that america itself was a lie. they decided this was not a country founded on the promise of equality. instead, they told us that america was 250 years in expression and cruelty. in ways big and small, they have been working feverishly to undo the country. it didn't take long. just 12 weeks later, here are the results. this is a video shot late last night in portland, oregon,

during a rally at the city jail. a mob surrounded a man and woman in their truck. they beat the woman into the ground. a couple flat for their lives. the mo mob chased them until thy crashed into a building. >> what are you going to do? what are you going to do? [screaming] [horn sounding] >> he crashed into the building! >> tucker: he crashed into the building. the mob loves it. they rejoiced it. they drag him out of his truck and force him to sit on the ground like a hostage appeared the man doesn't fight back. he doesn't resist in any way. watch what happens next. >> back up. back up. sit down. sit down.

you are not leaving, bro. [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] >> tucker: it's hard to watch. they nearly killed him. they beat him unconscious peer we just learned that the man is still in the hospital. the monster kicked him in the head. he has not been arrested. many on the internet seemed to know exactly who he is. but as of tonight, no arrests at all. that's what portland, oregon, is like right now. we've got much more video from portland. we are not going to show you. it's too awful. the rest of the media are ignoring all of this. these are joe biden's voters screaming slurs that they kick people in the head.

they want you to know what nonviolent protests actually look like. when blm lunatics call for the murder of police, and they do, they act like it never happened. here is yet another clip another clip cnn will not be playing tonight. >> your mother's umbilical cord should have wrapped around your neck and choke you just the way you -- i know you've got a gun. go ahead and shoot me. [cheers and applause] you shoot me, i'm going to shoot you back. you need to be charged with murder. that needs to hang you high. not hang you low. they need to send you to the electric chair and let you fry like a piece of burnt bacon. >> tucker: fry like a piece of

burnt bacon, calling for the killing of another american. for months, the democrats have passionately endorsed the violence in the streets. jerry nadler pretended that he had no idea what you were talking about. but this weekend, they dropped the blurry line between violent mopping and democratic officeholders disappeared completely. here is john thompson, who is the democratic candidate in the state of minnesota. thompson, we want to be clear about this, is not some french candidate. he has won the endorsement of the governor of the state, tim walsh. as well as ilhan omar. he isn't simply a democratic candidate. he is also a violent thug. here is thompson the other day threatening a family, women, and children at their home. >> i'm a black man being terrorized!

don't run now! don't run now, racist white people! i'm here! [bleep] [bleep] >> tucker: a normal political party would expel somebody like that immediately. he's a lunatic screaming at women on the front lawn obscenities, threats. a normal country would arrest him. the democrats allowed him on a cynical apology tour when he said that the it was not helpful. he was allowed to do that because democratic leaders agreed with what he said. here's kamala harris explaining that people like thompson are the good guys and everyone like you, you are the bigots and deserve what you get. >> you have one who can say the

phrase "black lives matter" and another who has been full time selling and division in our country. >> tucker: old. so what do you do with people who have been spending full time endorsing hate and division? you know. but in case that endorsement of violence in the streets was too subtile for you, here is massachusetts congresswoman openly calling for political terrorism. keep in mind, she said this. >> hold them accountable. make the email, make the phone call. unfortunately, they are free to go around. >> tucker: there needs to be unrest in the streets, congresswoman said. a day later, a man was beaten nearly to death, apparently for the way he looked. presley supports this explicitly today. today, after that happened. that video has been on the internet all day.

presley spoke at a virtual event and praised cities like portland for "rising up. we showed you what rising up looks like. innocent people kicked in the face until they are almost dead. ayanna pressley wasn't pretending anymore. here is what rising up looks like in seattle last week. >> they are sitting there comfortably comfortable as -- in their house! i can't live here. and you are sitting there having a good time. >> you just are oblivious to -- you are okay with it. we are bringing it to your [bleep]. >> tucker: we don't like the way you look. give us your house. there is no excuse for this. there's no no rationale to

justify this, and there is no society that can undo it if this continues. that just happen. so, where is the so-called "civil rights division" at the department of justice? do they think this is okay? would it be okay if the colors were reversed? oh, no, it wouldn't be? then it's not okay in this case. it is a universal principle. it cannot be selectively defended or it means nothing, which is to say that it means nothing. our leaders no longer care about equality. as of tonight, some americans are not even allowed to drive on city streets, the streets they pay for. take a look at this video from new york city. [bleep] put the [bleep] down. [horn sounding] >> see if i give a [bleep]. see if i give a [bleep].

[bleep]. >> tucker: so, to pass the roadblock on a city street, first you have to swear allegiance to their specific political faction and if you don't, they threatened to hurt you. but keep in mind, this is not beirut. no, really. everything is fine. it's fine. stop complaining. where is the federal government? don't they have a constitutional obligation to ensure that your civil rights are not violated by the way you look? yes, they do. that's what they promised they would do. it's what you pay for. but they are terrified too. nobody wants to be criticized for opposing the mob so they close their eyes and they hope it goes away. but it won't go away. meanwhile, america tumbled backward. bob has seen the rise and fall of this country. he's a civil rights activist. a long time 50 years. a man we turn to in moments like this. thanks so much for coming on.

i don't think it's my imagination. it seems like this is accelerating. it really is. black lives matter has advertised itself as the championship of social justice, but it has literally become a parasite. it has migrated from social justice to an attack on the nuclear family. and also, the burning of bibles, desecration of the cross. they have also taken second world war memorials. ththey have painted a sickle and hammer on it. it was a nuclear family in our christian faith that enabled us to survive slavery and discrimination. but the question, tucker, is where are the voices of dissent of the civil rights movement? where is the naacp?

where is the congressional-backed caucus to speak out against these race grievance vigilantes that are destroying this nation? where are they? >> tucker: the fact that they are christian leaders. where are they? front of the line, they were wearing callers. there were christians. where are those people now? >> well, that's the big question. but the reality is 80% of low income blacks in the country supports the police. they want more's th more police. there are other organizations around, but they are not the ones who have given the voice. we have the gatekeepers that are rewarded by the -- corporate america keeps paying these parasites and our country continues to decline. so, what we are trying to do at the woodson center is really give voice to those people who are standing up for america and want to protect these values.

and so, we really need to call of the civil rights, ask them where did they stand? are they for the desecration of world war ii memorials? are they against the nuclear family? do they really believe that christian faith is homophobic and therefore that the cross should be desecrated because it is a symbol of white supremacy? they need to be called to task. they need to answer which side to the stand. with black america or with the parasites? >> tucker: i agree with that and i think a lot of people watching this, even people i disagree with politically, are horrified by it but they are too afraid. thank you. good to see you. >> thank you. >> tucker: as we discussed violence in the city of seattle has escalated. it has been going on for months. 18 people were arrested in the police union building. several police officers were injured. some officers are tired of being used for target practice and they have had enough.

watch. >> not really. you are wrong. >> sorry for that. don't worry, man. guess what. i'm leaving. two months, baby. i'm out. >> you are going to resign? >> yeah, bro? you are about to resign? >> i am leaving this department here you guys won. >> tucker: so it turns out, you don't need to defund the police once you put people like people who run seattle in charge, the police just run on their own. no normal person would take that job at this point. we are happy to have him on tonight. jason, what is the state of seattle tonight if you can sum it up for us? >> well, there is the sad irony that you just mentioned. about to fire 100 police officers but so many are leaving on their own. there have been well over 100 applications that have gone over

to different agencies because they don't want to work for the city of seattle, a city that despises them, city that made attacking police officers a sport. they don't feel supported by the community. there are a lot of people who have stepped up to support them, but ultimately a lot of these activists are speaking louder. we are pretending still that these are protests. i'm sorry, these are no longer protests. they have not been protests for several weeks. they go out there with the intent of harming these police officers. they show up with bats. they show up with fireworks with the intent of doing damage. they are not showing up to protest for some social justice cause. that's not what they are doing. what i find interesting in all of this is 45 minutes from now, joe biden, starting with the dnc, you are going to get a whole bunch of speeches. and joe biden has made a campaign about the soul of the nation is on the line. i think he's 100% correct. what is happening in seattle, portland, chicago, the soul of the nation is on the line. he's just on the wrong side of

this. you have democratic leaders who are unwilling to call out this violence. some of them, completely ignore it. unfortunatelhopefully some peopp up. >> tucker: it's not going to get better if you don't stop it. really quick, i've got to think there are a lot of normal people in seattle, normal democrats, were reaching the limit of their tolerance of this. >> you would like to think that, and i am hoping that with the chief of police, the first police chief stepping aside because of her treatment, you would think it would embarrass the city. we will find out in the coming weeks but as of right now, i don't see that happening because not enough people are stepping up. i feel like they are also all tl mark too scared to. people are on your side. enough is enough. we are going to lose seattle if people don't step up. >> tucker: e. what a shame. it's great to see you.

♪ >> tucker: well, in a few days, and you will see it here on fox, joe biden is going to accept his presidential nomination. at the same time, alone in her apartment, governor will do the very same thing. she wants to thank you for the impressive level of support she received. she looks forward to running this country. now, she will not be allowed to say that from the stage of the dnc. the whole point of the convention is to highlight a party's most popular position while keeping its crazies hidden from public view. but what if suddenly everyone in the party goes crazy? what if there are no sane people left? then, you get what we are seeing right now. democrats spent the last week outlining a conspiracy that looks so dangerous that it makes russia look like jaywalking.

the president of the united states is working to eliminate the u.s. mail. that doesn't just meaning close in the post office. no, it is far worse than that and much sneakier. trump is stealing the mailboxes. driving through democratic neighborhoods in the middle of the night, tossing them in the back of a station wagon, cackling like the loud man he is. either way, it's the same. with no mailboxes, democrats won't be able to vote. donald trump is stealing the election. and here's the thing, democrats can't call to complain about it. it seems that someone took all the pay phones too. can you imagine? apparently, it was all there. biden was so upset. he was still ranting about it during a virtual fund-raiser on friday. he told the crowd, "they are going around literally with

tractor-trailers picking up mailboxes. you want to go online and check out what they are doing in oregon. i mean, it's bizarre. literally with tractor-trailers in organ. the funny thing is, oregon hasn't voted for republican in a presidential election in more than 25 years. it's unclear what exactly trump might be gaining. but whatever. it's just wrong. former vice president, al gore, went on cnn the other day to make that point. >> tampering with the postal service, putting his knee on the neck of american democracy. >> tucker: stealing mailboxes, says al gore, is nothing less than trump putting his knee on the neck of democracy. the blood is draining from america's face. as you can imagine, this caught the media's attention. without pausing to see if it was

true, they rushed to their cameras to repeat it. >> essential sorting machines removed. new mailboxes literally hauled away on flatbed trucks. >> mailboxes being picked up. what is that about other than voter suppression? speak about the problem. >> people are worried about the post office. you see that mailboxes are being taken away peer what's going on? >> the removal of equipment within the post offices is to undermine the postal service at a time when the postal service is needed more than ever. >> are you listening to this? they are hauling away ambulances on flatbed trucks. his boss, nancy pelosi agrees with that.

nancy pelosi can actually do something about it. that's why she is in charge. she announced that she is calling back congress from summer vacation. nancy pelosi said it is time for a legislature of -- she is trying to "sabotage the election by eliminating the postal service." with no postal service, pelosi said, seniors may not be able to get their social security checks in the mail. now, nancy pelosi is 80 years old, so you would think that she would know that the government hasn't used the postal service to send those checks since 2013. all, in other words we can be pretty sure that nancy pelosi doesn't live on her social security benefits. but don't tell the rest of the house democrats. they are riled up. someone called for the fbi to investigate the postmaster general. not long after they shared that,

they showed up outside of his house. ]horn sounding] >> tucker: this is a big story. so, the question is, who is stealing all of those mailboxes? it's actually an interesting tale if you get into the details of it. consider a recent tweet from new jersey congressman, nikki cheryl, who may not be the smartest member of congress. she posted a photo of her truck filled with mailboxes. it is being systematically dismantled here in new jersey and around the country. then a few year days later, shed at least one has been replaced. we will continue to provide more information as we have it. nikki cheryl is like her own 24-hour news service. just like cnn, she didn't bother to check your facts before going on air.

former national security advisor, susan rice, did do some reporting on the subject. she claimed that mailboxes were being removed to suppress democratic voters. susan rice's tweet was shared by more than 30,000 people. a lot of american side. as a matter of fact, we try to stick to facts. nobody is stealing american's mailboxes. this is another hoax. it's another lie. it was totally made up in order to manipulate. the post office moves mailboxes as a matter of course and has for many years. donald trump did not order this. it is normal. for 2017 report from the usps inspector general, for example knows that the postal service has removed 14,000 dell boxes over the preceding five years. this has been going on since at

least 2009. 2009 was the same year, by the way, that barack obama who presided over this mailbox removal delivered the following assessment of the u.s. mail. >> people say well, how can a private company compete against the government? if you think about it, ups and fedex office is always having problems. >> tucker: wait, what? did you hear that? talk about an uninspected twist. ladies and gentlemen, the great mailbox conspiracy of 2020 turns out to be bigger and more complex than we realize. barack obama is in on it too. so what is this really about in real life? well, last week, the president refused to hand over $3.5 billion to the postal service in a recent negotiation. that was money that would go toward mail in voting. this is what they are mad about. that was a blow to one of

nancy pelosi's top priorities. democrats favor mail in voting. they favor any voting that does not entail actual voters going to an actual polling place. it is not a civil rights issue. votes cast by mail are easier to tamper with. the identities of voters who cast them are harder to verify. mail in voting makes voter fraud easier. that's why we haven't had a lot of it throughout american history and that's why democrats are for it. we have seen fraud. there is no mail and voter fraud. just in the past few months, for example, west virginia. pleaded guilty to altering mail. the usps found hundreds of ballots in a single mailbox from local city council. more than 200,000 mail and votes from the recent primary election have been declared undeliverable. those are local and statewide. imagine this on a national scale

during a presidential election. imagine it's magnified across 50 states. what would be the effect of that? well, there would be no way to ensure the integrity of the presidential election. oh, right, that's precisely the point. in july, "the boston globe" described how a group of biden offers had a secret war game in which they gave up the presidential election this fall. they described one scenario in which he took biden's role. "he shocked the organizers by saying he felt his party when it let him -- he persuaded them to send pro biden electors. oh, not crazy. americans "stopped looking to the media and waited to see what the military would do.

so, john is gaming out how the united states military could put joe biden in office. and that tells you a lot about how democrats are thinking about this election. making up as our stories about how donald trump steals mailboxes may be ludicrous, but stories like that make america even more paranoid and fearful than it already is. and that's the point. prepares voters for the day that the democrats call in the generals. joe biden has made a promise that could destroy the health care system in the country. not many people are talking about it. that's next. on your screen, you are seeing images from milwaukee, wisconsin, where the democratic national convention is about to begin. we will have coverage about the event throughout the night. ♪

>> tucker: joe biden, and this hasn't gotten a ton of attention, has vowed to bring back the individual mandate from obamacare. what effect would that have on the country? dr. marc siegel has been think about this. he is a medical contributor appear we are happy to have him on tonight. doctor, get to see you. >> tucker, i have a message for the former vice president. we are in the middle of it pandemic and you know what? we have a problem. we didn't have enough testing and we didn't have enough personal protective equipping for our doctors and nurses on the front lines. we didn't have hazard tags. we didn't have early treatments for the vaccine ready. you know one thing we had plenty of? plenty of insurance, mr. vice president. plenty of insurance. not once did i hear one patient say i wasn't covered. i didn't have the coverage for this. you know why? because even the uninsured, tucker, because of the coronavirus relief packages, even the uninsured were covered. they got the care they needed. they got the testing they

needed. they got supplies. human services has been looking into that across the country. the last thing we need right now is to go back in time and start talking again about bringing back the individual mandate, which forces people to buy in insurance that they may not need, often crummy insurance that doesn't cover the care they need, especially in the middle of a pandemic. in that kind of thing, instead of paying doctors and nurses more, they are going to get more insurance. i have a message. for survivors out there, survivors of covid-19, you didn't get there from insurance. you got there from great medical care by doctors that were there on the front lines. insurance had nothing to do with it. >> tucker: tell that to the many health care lobbyists. they may disagree. dr. siegel, great to see you. thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: well, we spent a lot of time watching out dominic

joe biden. he doesn't talk much, but when he does, certainly glitches rise to the surface. and this one struck our attention. we will show you what it is after the break. ♪ welcome, today's discussion will be around sliced meat. moms want healthy... and affordable. land o' frost premium!!! no added hormones either. it's the only protein i've really melted with. land o' frost premium. fresh look. same great taste.

fact. not a joke. not a joke. no, no, think about it. i'm not joking. i really mean it. i'm not joking. for real, you think i'm joking. i'm not joking. you hear me? not a joke. >> that is not a joke. i really mean it. not a joke. it's not a joke. it's not a joke. not a joke. not a joke. not a joke. not a joke. not a joke. not a joke. >> you think i'm joking. i'm not joking. >> tucker: we all repeat ourselves as we get older. but the bottom line, it's not a joke. the democratic party, a major party, 1 of 2 is running on the platform that claims men can get pregnant. nobody is saying anything about this. sarah is a white house press secretary, author of the upcoming book, speaking for myself." she joins us tonight.

sarah, thanks so much for coming on. i often wonder as i watch the coverage of this campaign, but politics more broadly, why do we hear so little about the ideas? one party claims men can get pregnant. that's insane. why is that not a headline? >> even if you take men out of the equation and you focus on the point that they support it, that alone is disgraceful and should disqualify joe biden from being president. you hear them falsely talk about how they have compassion and empathy for everyone except for the very most vulnerable people in our society, the unborn children. the fact that they don't stand up for them and do everything they can to protect them i think disqualifies them. any person that is pro-life should have no ability to vote

for joe biden and the democrats who make this part of their party platform and a pillar of what they stand for. not only will they not protect children in the womb, they also won't protect them in their communities. this is a party who never was seen before in our history have we seen a political party disparage the brave men and women of our police force and be so taken by the left-wing mob, they defund the police wing of their party, and allow communities to be completely overtaken by crime. any person that wants to live in a safe community and doesn't want to see this type of thing continue can't in their conscious vote for joe biden and the democrats. this should serve as a wake-up call to every community in america that has been ravaged by crime. this is not a ticket you can trust to make you safer. in fact, its opposite. i think the idea that they are for compassion and empathy.

>> tucker: they are from the corporate position, which is that people are disposable and you can divide the country. the democrats announced today that one of the lobbyists at google, who should i say in the interest of fairness, i know personally and is a very nice person. but still, one of the chief lobbyist at google will be one of their more convention speakers. >> not at all. i think we have seen big tech aggressively start to censor conservatives. where are all of the tech companies censoring people who spread for two years the russian which hunt that tried to destroy our country and take down a duly elected president? where were they? nonexistent. the only start to silence people when they have opinions they

don't agree with. it is a very dangerous road and i think you can see how they work hand-in-hand constantly. i think the convention is a perfect example. and a sad one at that. >> tucker: google lobbyist. it's really revealing. sarah huckabee sanders, thank you so much and congrats on the book. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: well, some people say kamala harris is inauthentic just because she robotically repeats whatever her corporate handlers tell her to say. but we have a piece in which she tells the truth. she admits she lied. we are minutes away now from the beginning speeches of the democratic national convention in milwaukee. coverage starts in just a moment. ♪ i can, absolutely. at newdayusa that's what we're doing. we put our arm around the veterans. when i think of the veteran out there that needs to refi his home, he may want to purchase, we can help them and provide that financial solution for they and their families. it's a great rewarding feeling.

her decision to become joe biden's running mate? well, back in june, she gave the answer. watch this. in those debates, you landed haymaker's on joe biden. i mean, it was like chocolates all over the stage. and now you guys seem to be pa pals. >> it was a debate.

political correspondent, our senior political analyst. he joins us tonight. what you make of that? what do you make of the harris addition more broadly? >> well, there's plenty of history, tucker to participate together on a ticket. let's remind viewers perhaps that kamala harris also said she believes joe biden's accuser who said that he had basically sexually assaulted her. we haven't heard anything about that since then, not from her, not presumably from him either. and the way things are going now, they may never have to answer because neither one of them has answered any questions. look, this is a standard deal here. they get together afterwards. but you would think that they would at least make some effort publicly. she's got a charming laugh, but i don't think she can laugh at

all of this stuff. >> tucker: how long can they go until they have to answer questions before they do for real interviews and have to wrestle with that, et cetera? >> if i were advising the harris-biden campaign, and it's not my place, but if i were, i would keep them away from the press for as long as possible. biden is senile and he has good days and bad. and he may have enough good days left in him to get through a debate. i doubt very seriously that he can get through a series of pressing interviews with solid journalists who want to ask the hard questions without screwing up. he screws up all the time and he does it partly because he always has and partly because his age has left him without a full set of faculty. so, he forgets where he is at times and can't remember basic things and so on. it might not be crippling as a

president, but it might be alarming. he remains pretty vibrant. >> tucker: interesting. so, you're just saying categorically, you believe that he is losing his faculty. >> tucker, maybe you are speaking to me, but i have lost you. >> tucker: we have lost our technical faculties.
