august 182020. the story continues. see you at 10:00 tonight for our special coverage. bret baier and i will be there for night two of the democratic national convention coming coming up. see you then. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." day two of the democratic national convention will start shortly. tonight former president bill clinton, alexandria ocasio-cortez, sandy, will speak. that ought to be worth watching. we'll have live coverage of all that throughout the night right here o on fox news. turns out that only two kinds of people in the world, those who enjoy mandatory corporate diversity seminars and those who don't. if you find yourself in the former category, you must have loved last night's democratic convention. the preachy self-righteousness, the condescension, the shameless lying. the strange mixture of guilt and

aggression. probably all felt refreshingly familiar to you. for everyone else, though, it was a massive turnoff. the whole thing seems like the weirdest infomercial ever made. at one point they dragged out grouchy old john kasich, a man with the charm of a high school science teacher, to try to sell you things. no thanks. who would buy that? if the dnc was in direct marketing, they would be bankrupt by now. but the weirdest moment by far of the night was andrew cuomo speech. cuomo is the brother of cnn's weight lifting correspondent. he's also the sitting governor of new york which is the second-biggest democratic state. his father famously gave the dnc keynote back in 1984. there was never any question that andrew cuomo was going to speak at this year's convention. what we did not expect in a million years was andrew cuomo to talk about the coronavirus. you'd think that would be the last thing, the very last thing cuomo would want to talk about. that of the fact that his top aide is doing six years in prison for bribery. for coronavirus especially.

whatever you think about andrew cuomo and he's a good talker, you can say he's done a good job with the pandemic. citizens of new york state have been four times as likely to die as other americans from the coronavirus. there's a reason for that. andrew cuomo forced corona infected patients into nursing homes, many thousands perished as a result of that decision. it is possible that no leader on earth mishandled the coronavirus outbreak as profoundly as andrew cuomo did. a man with integrity would have resigned immediately. cuomo refused to do that. now he brags about it. literally. last night, cuomo told the audience what a great job he did managing the coronavirus. nobody laughed at him. they applauded, like they agreed. the whole thing was like watching jeffrey epstein boast about his internship program. you could barely believe it was happening. but it was. here's part of it. >> new yorkers were ground zero

for the covid virus had never gone from one of the highest infection rates in the globe to one of the lowest. we climbed the impossible mountain and right now we are on the other side. our nation is in crisis and in many ways covid is just a metaphor. a virus attacks when the body is weak and when it cannot defend itself. the european virus-infected the northeast while the white house was still fixated on china. as they proved their way failed, we proved that our way succeeded. and for all the pain and all the tears, our way worked. and it was beautiful. speak to the european virus? oh, right. the deadly pathogen that escape from a lab in luxembourg last winter. those europeans, always infecting us with their diseases. if only they would stop eating backs. what world is this? it's a world of such pure dishonesty that all reference points have disappeared from sight.

there are no facts left, only assertions. andrew cuomo says the way he handled the coronavirus was quote beautiful. and so it was. cuomo declarative. it's now a reality. this is a very specific style of political rhetoric, departure from what we had before. politicians used to try to convince you of things. the assumption was that you were in charge, you were the voter, which is to say you were the boss. if they wanted the job, they had to win you over. it turned out to be a cumbersome process so they have abandoned it. now they just browbeat you into accepting their program. if you don't like their program, it's your fault. you are the bad guy. you're immoral. michelle obama could teach a masters class in this mode of communication. last night she delivered a taped address from her $11 million state on martha's vineyard. michelle obama it's fair to say has done. well for herself. what she wanted you to know last night was that she was still a victim, she never one who looks like her so shut up and accept

her dominion over you. watch. >> here at home, as george floyd, breonna taylor, and a never ending list of innocent people of color continue to be murdered. stating the simple fact that a black life matter is still met with derision from the nation's highest office. >> tucker: we don't want to be too harsh about this. we are not lawyers but we understand the constitutional limits of the first amendment in this country. no shouting fire in a crowded theater. nokia sizing michelle obama. we know that. so we're going to say this as gently as possible, meaning absolutely no disrespect of course being certain to pronounce everyone's name correctly. but what you just heard was total and complete crock. a never ending list of innocent people of color continue to be murdered? that's what michelle obama told us. well, no. so for this to there have been a

total of eight unarmed black man killed by police in this country. that a never ending list. eight. last year there was a total of 14. so what michelle obama just told you is a total lie, a calculated lie, lie designed to make america more fearful, more angry, more divided, and there e by help her candidate win. that's what michelle obama just did. but pretty much know and pointed it out last night. they were too afraid to because as michelle obama made very clear if you disagree with what she says, you are a bigot. >> donald trump is the wrong president for our country. he has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job but he is clearly in over his head. now i understand that my message will be heard by some people. we live in the nation that is deeply divided and i am a black woman speaking at the democratic convention.

but enough of you know me by now. you know that i tell you exactly what i'm feeling. you know i hate politics. but you also know that i care about this nation. >> tucker: i understand that my message will be heard by some people. michelle obama declared, why won't they hear her message? well, because they are bad people, that's why. half the country is evil. they hate me for my race has the woman whose husband was elected by that very same country twice in a row, hence allowing her to buy an $1,111,000,000 spread on him martha's vineyard. if michelle obama hates politics so much why she giving a political speech at a political convention? isn't there anything else to do on martha's vineyard in the summer? you think someone on television might've asked pat. it's pretty obvious question. but no. michelle obama was talking so they were too thrilled to think clearly. >> michelle obama is riveting, was riveting, one of the best

speeches i've heard her give it i've heard her give many speeches. >> not only that she was emotional and a mother and seemed to be a truth teller. >> she is clearly one of the most talented political minds of our time right now. >> she's also kind of a pop culture figure who also kind of comes across as your favorite extra neighbor. >> she doesn't come across as a politician. she comes across as a mother and patriot. >> she wasn't just putting the president down. she was trying to pick the country up. >> it was all tied together in a beautiful bow by michelle obama. >> she delivered epic shade. >> is nicole just said, it was epic shade but it was elegant shade. >> this extraordinary speech. she's beautiful. >> tucker: a mother, a patriot, a truth teller, beautiful. adjective after adjective piling up like tailings out tiny mind. it was sad to see someone like

andrew yang trapped on one of those panels. young is actually a smart guy and a good guy. his friends must be embarrassed for him. the rest of them really mean it. you probably think a as we lefts secular but not anymore. they are fervent religious fanatics. michelle obama is there l. ron hubbard. everything she does is good by definition. she is the most beautiful, smartest, wisest. if michelle obama played golf she would shoot in 18 every time. in the words of van jones, her speech last night was extraordinary. even though as you know if you side, it was exactly the opposite. the speech was ordinary. it was totally pedestrian like almost everything michelle obama says. you can't admit that. you have to pretend she is air stolid. that's the law. what was legitimately -- the entertainment the dnc provided. most networks cut away after michelle obama finished speaking. they couldn't wait to start slobbering over her but the cameras kept rolling in the few who stuck around were treated to

this. ♪ ♪ >> stop, children, what's that sound ♪ ♪ everybody look what's going down ♪ >> tucker: what the hell was that and how is it going to prove my life. you may have wondered that if you stop at the dnc gave you know hints because improving your life isn't the point. it never is. the point of that performance was the blm signs in the background. they were there to remind you that you have done something very wrong and have no right to resist. be quiet and accept what we give you. you have no choice. you're guilty. washington, d.c., mirror muriel bowser arrived underscore that point. bowser city is falling apart right now literally. then there? for centuries washington, d.c.,

was a beautiful place. you might remember it from your six grade trip. parks and trees and open spaces. a city the country was proud of. now it's open spaces are lined with tents and inside them drug addicted vagrants live and they emerge periodically to scare and harass visitors and local residents. including a hotel lobby that's out of control. under the leadership of muriel bowser, people who pay taxes in washington are fleeing the city. in huge numbers. but that's okay with democratic national committee because muriel bowser is on their team. she may have wrecked our nation's capital, a city she did not build, but she got the politics right and that's all that matters. >> so i created black lives matter plans are right behind me as a place where we could come together to say enough. because we can't just paint those words behind me. we can't just say those words. we have to live those words. >> tucker: yeah, she's living those words. meanwhile your unemployment benefits expire, the restaurant you work at has disappeared forever. at at least you can go to sleep

in your car knowing that far awy in a city run by corrupt bureaucrats, street now has a fashionable political slogan painted across it. that is the message not just a muriel bowser bit of the democratic party. they are going with it. that's what they are running on. in that message was consistent throughout last night. at one point bernie sanders arrived to remind you that the one thing you really care about way more than your kids going back to school or is getting rid of cash available for accused criminals. that's what's important. watch. >> reform our broken criminal justice system. joel and neck private prisons and detention centers, cash bail and the school to prison pipeline. and to heal the soul of our nation. joe biden will end the hate and division trump has created. >> tucker: how out of touch would you have to be, how many years would you have to have spent in the united states senate to believe that ending cash bail would "heal the soul

of our nation." that's not a real position than an actual human being would take or say out loud. but that's fine for bernie sanders because it turns and he doesn't take real positions anyway. here he is on cnn over the weekend. he was asked about how he feels about a wall street favorite, kamala harris, being effectively the next president under joe biden. here's how he responded. >> "the wall street journal" headline says "is kamala harris joined biden ticket, wall street sighs in relief." if wall street breathes a sigh of relief with kamala harris being named to the ticket, what does bernie sanders do? >> well, bernie sanders does everything he can to defeat donald trump, who was undermining american democracy. donald trump lied to the american people repeatedly on every issue. what bernie sanders is going to do is to everything that i can to defeat donald trump, to elect joe biden.

>> tucker: it's just an amazing exchange that lays bare what's really going on. bernie sanders, who at the very least you that was sincere, bernie sanders who spent his entire career attacking wall street, is asked a really simple question. how do you feel about a craven, soulless puppet of wall street potentially running the country in like three months? he can't answer the question. this is the democratic party in 2020. they don't believe anything, not one thing and they're not embarrassed about it. tonight the convention they are featuring a major address by bill clinton and they are doing it on the very same day that a new picture emerged showing bill clinton getting a massage from a victim of jeffrey epstein. but pay no attention to that because amy klobuchar is here with some stale jokes of shredded to tip your waitress is. sorry, your servers. >> you know the president may hate the post office but he still going to have to send them a change of address card come january. >> tucker: you feel your soul being crushed? have you watch long enough?

it's like the final scene in "dos boot." the walls are caving in word and you are covered in sweat and you fill for lookup animal desperate to escape but there's nowhere to go. the mandatory corporate diversity seminar has just begun. victor davis hanson is a senior fellow at the hoover institute and a smart man. we are grateful to have them on the show. thanks for coming on. what's the message that the democratic party is trying to sell to the country right now? >> i think the common theme that you outlined, tucker, they say these things that aren't true whether it's michelle obama talking about black lives being indiscriminately almost daily killed on the street or and andrew cuomo with the worst record of the virus and then breaking as if it was the best because there is no media the way we know it. nbc, abc, the network news, cbn, msnbc, pbs, the progressive movement and the general democratic party. when he says this, he knows no one's going to challenge him so

it emboldens him. the second thing was all these people have one thing in common, tucker. they are never subject to the consequences of their ideology. it's easy for bernie sanders to say he's for no avail. because he has three homes. they are not going -- people aren't going to show up, criminals, hijack him when he walks out of his lakeside estate. michelle obama knows that there were over 100 people killed in one month alone in her hometown in chicago. they weren't killed by white people. they weren't killed by the police. there's been over 400. she knows that. she knows, as you said, there were nine killed last year by the police and eight african-americans perhaps this year. she knows what the real problem is but she also knows that she could go to chicago with barack. she doesn't like politics. meet with community leaders and say we have a crisis in chicago in general and among the african-american community. she doesn't like politics. it would be a wonderful thing to do to stop what's really in urban genocide. it's very easy to say something

from your washington or martha's vineyard estate. $20 million of estate and mansion because you're never going to be subject to the ramifications. black lives matter's not going to show up outside of her mansion and there's not going to be an inner-city shooting match right outside martha's vineyard. so these all become abstractions as you come on and say if you really don't want to do this. finally, getting back when she says we go high when they go low, she's talking right now and her husband's administration has weaponize the irs, the fbi, the doj, the cia, and is the subject of a massive investigation by our federal attorney. will probably end up as many predict, the most corrupt administration that tried to destroy a political king cane , transition period and a presidency. she can say all that because of the clips that you played. those clips you played were not from journalists. they were from activists that

say they are journalists but they are really part of the progressive agenda and movement. >> tucker: it's completely distressing and i don't think i've heard it as nicely summed up as that. professor, i appreciate your coming on tonight. thank you for that. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: is if it hasn't been great enough, bill clinton, former president getting ready to speak tonight at the democratic national convention. we are told he could be enjoying a massage to loosen up before the big moment. we don't know but we do know it comes hours after photographs emerged showing bill clinton with one of jeffrey epstein's accusers and 2002. emily compagno hosts "crimes that changed america" on fox nation. she has more on this. >> hi, tucker these photographs are an ill-timed reminder of clinton's links to epstein as a former president prepares to endorse joe biden tonight at the democratic convention. we are not allowed to show you the images just yet but in them, clinton is seen enjoying a neck massage for my jeffrey epstein victim in never before seen photographs. clinton is seen sitting

comfortably and laughing as the 22-year-old massage therapist rubs his shoulders. the images show clinton, then 56, leaning back while davies kneels on a chair behind them. in his second photo he appears to be smiling as the sweatpants clad davies rubs his shoulders. apparently former president clinton had complained of a stiff neck after falling asleep on jeff epstein's aptly named lolita express. ghislaine maxwell encourage the massage. maxwell, now 58, was arrested in july and is currently being held in a federal detention without bail while she awaits trial for child sex trafficking. after maxwell's insistence, clinton asked davies, would you mind giving it a crack? whitten's office issued a statement that in 2002 and 2003 president clinton took a total of four troops on jeffrey epstein's airplane one to europe, one to europe and to africa which included stops in connection with the wreck of the clinton foundation. site loads from that lolita

express published by dr. in 2015 put clinton on the plane more t. davies who was alleged she was by epstein several times after she was recurred by maxwell said clinton was a complete gentlema. she described it as a shock when clinton boarded the plane and described him as charming and sweet. tucker. >> tucker: emily, thanks. appreciate it. we now know the identity apparently police say it's the identity of the thug and criminal, the monster really we showed you last night being a man unconscious in portland. so what happened? we have an update to that story after the break. it's pretty inspiring the way families

♪ >> tucker: last night we showed you footage that was horrifying. you often hear the phrase "footage that should shock our conscience." this was footage that should shock our consciences. it was pictures of a man being dragged out of his pickup truck in downtown portland, oregon, and beaten. it was horrifying. here's part of it. >> backup. backup. [bleep] [bleep] >> you ain't going nowhere. [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] >> chill, chill, chill.

[bleep] [bleep] [bleep] >> tucker: so we have two new pieces of news to add to this story tonight. first is that police say they have identified the man they believe did it. he is 25 years old and his name is marquise love. investigators are trying to find him. so far they haven't. this thing thing we know is that the victim apparently is out of the hospital. we don't know any details about his condition or if he had long-term effects from what they did to him. it's hard to believe he won't. as we find more will bring it to you. drew hernandez was there and shot video that we showed you last night. he's the host of the youtube show "lives matter." we are happy to have them on tonight. thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you for having me, tucker. >> tucker: give us context for this. that's the part that's missing in my mind. how and why am did they target this guy? >> this deserves context because

black lives matter was holding a rally in front of the justice center and the guest speaker was lester winston and she had some pretty dangerous rhetoric. you covered it. the stuff she was saying, she believes police should be electrocuted. she wished police would've been strangled by their umbilical cords and they were babies. she was saying that they were at war with america and she said very clearly that she is ready to by any means necessary achieve the mission and her goal of justice. so that was the rhetoric about maybe an hour before this took place. it's pretty dangerous and i think we are starting to see that these rallies there's rhetoric that's influencing the actions of some pretty dangerous and violent people that are attending the black lives matter rallies. >> tucker: i bet you 20 bucks that woman went to oberlin. they are all from entitled backgrounds. so the guy who is accused by police, or who police believe did this, marquise love, do we

know anything about him? why he did this? >> well, the way it started was in front of the justice center in front of the courthouse, he was one of them, there was two other black lives matter advocates protesters, they actually started to feel threatened by some other way young men that they were claiming were filming them. so they started escorting him away from the justice center in front of the 7-eleven we see all the video. when they started chasing that guy down, they actually assaulted him first and then a trans woman that defended him got physically assaulted. they robbed her, took her stuff, took her backpack and then they started beating and teeing off on her in front of 7-eleven and then finally the man that we all sang the video getting kicked in the head which by the way was recorded by kalin del mita, good friend, that video, that individual was defending the trans woman. and then their anger from the black lives matter activists then turned on him. what you seen the video is

exactly what happened. a lot of people, you know, hard left, hard left individuals, i would say antifa and even radical black lives matter militants in portland right now are trying to take to twitter and say that this guy was a white supremacist that he was there to run over black people. total lie, fake news. these people are liars. that's not what took place. he was actually defending a trans woman and they did what they did to him. that's what happened. >> tucker: it's just beyond. i am grateful that you were there and that you can clear this up firsthand. drew hernandez, thanks so much. hope you come back. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: if you're like most parents you probably don't listen to the specifics of your kids music. you don't know what the song say. it's something we almost never cover on the show. but one of the most popular songs in america right now is -- it's worth looking up, go ahead and read the lyrics. joe biden approves. he's been praising the woman who recorded it. we have details after the break. live coverage of the democratic national convention as the speeches get started.

that's coming up too. before money, people traded goods.

tools, cattle, grain, even shells represented value. then currency came along. they made it out of copper, gold, silver, wampum. soon people decided to put all that value into a piece of paper, then proceeded to wave goodbye to value, printing unlimited amounts of money as they passed the buck to the future. that's why it's time for digital currency and your investment in the grayscale funds. go digital. go grayscale.

>> tucker: we don't cover a lot of pop culture on the show. not because it doesn't matter, it definitely matters but we try to stick with doing what you know we don't know time about it. we're going to make an exception night for new song by a singer called cardi b. the song is called "wap." we can't tell you what it stands for. we literally can't tell you what the name of the song is much less its lyrics. it was released earlier this month by atlantic records. the chairman of that is a man called craig coleman. to give you a sense of what the song is about and again, we should tell you this is one of the most popular songs in the country and you need to go online and look up its lyrics. here's the woman who sings it, cardi b, explaining to women how they can become more useful objects. watch. >> that dry [bleep] ph balanced.

you want to know why? don't throw my ph balance off. dirty [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] before you [bleep] barbecue ribs the whole day, bacon, egg, and cheese. [bleep] [bleep] he directly put it inside [bleep] now you have bacon, egg, and cheese greece. >> tucker: that's garbage. you don't need to be a puritan to think so. it's garbage. it's aimed at young american girls, your girls and granddaughters and what is it doing to them? can you imagine what it's doing to them? people are getting rich pushing that crap on the country they should be ashamed of themselves but they are not ashamed of themselves. joe biden just did an interview with cardi b, doesn't do a lot of interviews. he did one with her. he sucked up to her and called himself joey b. >> call me joey b. we may be related. tell me what your fans most say to you when they communicate

with you online. what are they most concerned about? >> free college education, free medicare. i've course one from medicare. i have course think that we need free college education. in middle school they give you a free metrocard. and they gave me free lunch. >> if i get elected president, we are going to have free college education, four years of college, flat out. every body gets free for years of community college. everyone wants to become an apprentice, free. >> tucker: again, we are not being prudish. this is not james brown being suggestive on stage. go online right now and look up the lyrics to this song. and then ask yourself if you were joe biden, would you suck up to the person who sang it and ask yourself above all unmask it more than once, what is it doing

targets? the people pushing it clearly are trying to hurt your children. why is nobody pushing back? tammy bruce is the host of get tammy bruce on fox nation. tammy, i wish we could be a lot more specific and i would be willing to go pretty far just to make the point but you literally can't say anything from the song. what does that tell you? >> you can't. because it's also toxic. you don't want to. what it tells you in this i think is an urgent matter is that this is a young woman. it's unfortunate that this is was being highlighted and what she is choosing to do but certainly not a reflection of every other young black woman that's out there. and that's where media really works. our point of view about what's going on. joe biden i have to say probably has no idea. probably had no idea who she is. and what she is singing. and that of course is also, there's a lack of leadership, lack of connection and when that happens you can't make a judgment about what to support

and who it is you're elevating. because you have no idea. as a feminist, this is not, when people go look at those lyrics. feminism was about not being objectified, being respected, being able to infect esp business owners and determine our own futures but my goodness. there is at least a sensibility that women deserve more than being treated like a sex object or like a piece of meat. this is i think most american women feel that way certainly most women of color. they especially know what it's like to be ignored or to be used and to be abused when it comes to the nature of the system and how we view each other. we are working on it. this ironically in this dynamic where they are arguing about even with the michelle obama speech about needing to lift people up and everybody deserving more and better. this is not how we get it. it's a signal to young woman that they should be degrading themselves and none of us want

that obviously. >> tucker: no. this is pushed by rich people, powerful people in order to degrade and destroy our culture. i never thought i would use this word on tv because it's such a 1950s blue nosed cliche but it's filth. it's actually felt. filth. if you don't believe it, look it up and you'll see. democratic convention is about to get underway. stay with fox for the coverage. in the meantime we have found a trend of the democratic national committee's platform that's not getting a lot of coverage that's getting coverage and speeches. will explain what it is. for over 25 years, home instead has helped seniors stay home. now, staying home isn't just staying in the place they love. it's staying safe. home instead. to us, it's personal.

home instead. want restand schools?pen? want the economy to get back on track? you're not alone. and you can help make it happen. stay 6 feet apart. wash your hands. wear a mask every time you leave your home. choose to join the fight against covid-19. do your part. slow the spread.

>> tucker: this is a fox news alert and we don't say that lightly. the two of the democratic national convention begins tonight featuring bill clinton and alexandria okay test. sandy. will be monitoring it. we've looked at the democrats platform and found nothing interesting. they'll think it's safe for african-americans to go outside. as a platform says "it's uncomfortable that millions of people in our country have good reason to fear they may lose

their lives in a routine traffic stop or standing on a street corner or while playing with a toy in a public park." it's scary. is it true? michelle obama echoed this sentiment recently. in fact last night. but again isn't rooted in reality? jason whitlock has been watching carefully. he writes for and is part owner of outtake.com. thanks for coming on. what do you make of it? you hear it a lot. >> i think that fear isn't mechanism, a tool for control. the democratic party, the mainstream media are using fear to control people and to control african-americans in particular. you cannot function properly if you live in irrational fear. again, for those of us that have religious faith, we understand that fear is the friend of evil and the reason you embrace faith

is so that you can operate without fear and you can reach your highest potential. this is just an irrational fear. when they put that into the platform, when michelle obama echoes those thoughts, i am just like, what black communities have actually lived in? because that is not the fear that is pervasive throughout black communities. fear of being stopped by the police and killed. the stats, the facts, the evidence don't back up this fear. so why is someone trying to instill that fear in us of the police? it's like a self-fulfilling prophecy. if you engage with the police filled with fear, you're more likely to make really bad decisions that then provoke them to take action. it's irresponsible what they're doing what they're saying. >> tucker: i never thought of that part of it but you're absolutely right and you're absolutely right that fear makes

every single human being irrational. me, you, everybody. so i wonder what the long-term consequences of this hour, apart from the one you just mentioned. what kind of scar does this leave on the country if you keep saying stuff like this? >> the number one thing you can do to prevent someone from reaching their potential is convince them that they can't. and to convince him that the whole country is against them. therefore why even try? give someone an excuse not to be successful. give someone an excuse to behave improperly when dealing with the police. it's how you ensure failure. i was brought up my entire life to go out and attack the world and anything was a possibility. that was the hope that was put in me. i was born in 1957. my parents lived through the civil rights movement. their goal, their hope for me and my brother, my stepbrother and stepsister was for us to go out and conquer the world.

we are now telling kids you can't conquer the world. so if you're a black kid competing against asian kids, white kids, latino kids, and you've been convinced the whole system is rigged against you, you can't succeed, and the other kid you're competing with our author, the world is on a platter for me. if i go out and attack and work hard all be successful. you have less of a chance of competing against your peers if your attitude and mind-set are right. attitude controls outcome. i'm sorry, it's pure evil. it's borderline satanic. if you really have an understanding of religious faith, the principles taught in the bible, why jesus died on the cross for us. if god is on your side, how can you fail? it is sickening to me what this message and to see a major

political party pump this message into the black community is really disheartening for me. >> tucker: [laughs] you're making me emotional. i think you're so right. jason whitlock, thank you very much for that. >> thank you. >> tucker: well last night we told you of the great mailbox conspiracy of 2020. they are stealing the mailboxes! and the pay phones! it is still emerging at the democratic national convention. is there anything you can do to keep your mailbox safe tonight? we'll investigate. 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 serious infections and may cause existing parasitic skin infestations or pre-existing cancers to worsen. do not use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs. most common side effects are vomiting and diarrhea. feeling better? i'm speechless. thanks for the apoquel. aw...that's what friends are for. ask your veterinarian for apoquel next to you, apoquel is a dog's best friend.

♪ >> tucker: as we explained last night, we are in the moment of the great mailbox conspiracy. they are stealing mailboxes. once donald trump makes off with all the mailboxes and you can't vote, what kind of election can

we have? them by the way, what effect does the coronavirus having? bill hemmer has been studying all of this. >> this is a heat map, okay. the writer your state, the more trouble you have with covid. i look at this map and think about the election, battleground states and where the elections are decided, i think about florida and i think about arizona. here is a trend we are finding arizona, the percentage of change in cases, going to go back in time, tucker. 9%, prior to that, the number was 14%. now we are in late july, 20%, we continue to go back july 20th, 28% and a month ago, mid-july, 37%. the reason i'm showing you that is, watch this number now. you come to a current day and the number is significantly

lower. as flattened as the curve on the backside of that, same case for arizona. the percentage changes they've done in arizona, the numbers there improving in both states right now, will that have an effect on the election? we shall see on that. we talk a lot about mailing, vote by mail, these are the nine states and washington, d.c., that will send a ballot to voters living in the state. that number is going to go higher, montana is thinking about it as well. for reference, in 2016, 33 million americans voted by mail or absentee. they think that number could be 80 million as of today in 2020. >> tucker: wouldn't surprise me at all. bill hemmer, thanks for that. as you know, democrats have told you that donald trump as of late stealing your mailboxes. that conspiracy has now ballooned into an all-out panic

on msnbc. >> we can literally see our ability to use the postal service drinking right before our eyes. mailboxes around the country are being physically removed. >> mailboxes being snatched off street corners, people want their mail and public anger is at a tipping point. >> a list of possible things i could have been in the year 2020, where was the possibility of blue mailboxes disappearing from the countryside and getting loaded on flatbed trucks. >> tucker: mailboxes have been replaced by the usps for decades, obviously they know that. the new book out today, "how enemies is sworn in domestic targeted the american president." my apologies for the lack of time, things are coming on. why are they telling such an obvious lie, what's the point of this?

>> it's started with russia-gage, a foundational moment. with the democratic party officials and press learned at that point was what every third world regime knows, if you tell a lie big and destructive enough, they get people to believe it, they will believe anything so we've seen a series of these information operations starting to investigate, turning into ukrainegate, impeachment, weaponization of the coronavirus down to the riots ravaging american cities and finally we have the mailbox conspiracy theory. the real issue here is, not just if you can get someone to believe anything, if you get them to do it, that's the real danger here. what this is pointing at end appears to be pointing at, delegitimizing the election beforehand in the event to trump winds and laying the groundwork for conflict. maybe moving into as ridiculous as the mailbox conspiracy theory

patently is, maybe moving into very dangerous territory in upcoming months. >> tucker: what i admire so much about your writing is you get the facts and understand why it happened. congrats on the book. tomorrow night we will show you footage from the dnc convention that you haven't seen. i can't wait for that. here's sean hannity, ladies and gentlemen. we went all right, tucker, good show as always. this is now officially the two of the worst infomercials ever made. we are going to dip in briefly, only briefly to give you a flavor, we will give you the full one minute remarks of congresswoman alexandria garcia cortez because that's all they gave her because they are hiding who they really are. we will watch a little chuck schumer and some of his hate to trump rhetoric. just for fun. we are going to monitor former president bill clinton. bill clinton is inter
