representative, jim jordan, thanks for being here tonight. that's th "the story." it's not over. 10:00, join bret baier and me as we take you through the iron state tonight. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: a good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." the republican national convention kicks off tonight. expected to look pretty different from the convention last night. many of the speeches will have actual people watching, human beings. stick with fox if you want to see any of the other networks. they believe they have apprehended the president of the united states stealing mailbox mailboxes.

that story, wall-to-wall. we, by contrast have not gone insane. we will be bringing you the news as we always do. stay tuned for that. we begin tonight with a fox news alert. violence erupted last night in wisconsin. that's a city of about 100,000 people roughly between milwauk milwaukee. he was charged for multiple including assault. he had extensive run-ins with the law. that was including arrest for threatening people and committing violence against police officers. yesterday, he refused police officers to surrender. here is the 10-second video of the exchange. [screaming] jacob lake is in the hospital tonight. he is expected to survive his wounds. the investigation into what exactly happened is underway.

that is the sum total of what we know for certain. we care about this country, so we are not going to pretend to know more than we actually do. nobody knows. we are going to avoid irresponsible speculation designed to create fear in the population. there's been more than enough of that already this summer. trump idevoted to suing companit manufacture talcum powder. ben crump is taken by the utmost seriousness by our idiotic news media. he denounced the jacob lake shooting is an act of racism. to be clear, he does not know if that is actually true. he would have no way of knowing.

they made the very same assumption. they ascended on the city setting fires and hurting people, as is their customary reaction. they wrecked a library. they torched an entire car dealership, a number of garbage trucks, and what they thought was a police cruiser. here is footage of it. [yelling] [bleep] [bleep] [horn sounding]

speeon>> tucker: another civil rights demonstration. police officers found themselves surrounded from outside. at one point, riders through -- he was hit with a brick. he dropped to the crowd delmar ground unconscious and the crowd cheered.

[bleep] >> now what! >> what happened? he got bricked! >> tucker: he got bricked, the man said. apparently it's now common enough that there is a name for it. before yesterday afternoon, kenosha was in ninth place. but it is happening everywhere now, even in nice places. naturally, the violence has metastasized. watch this take from outside chicago. this happened on saturday. if you are confused about what the people who live there did wrong, they are confused too. for that, the mob threatened

them. >> bring your [bleep] down here. look at them! black people used to live here. black people used to live here. >> tucker: get down here, they screams. how long before these people do what they did to the car dealership in kenosha? you may find out. where's the justice department? where is the "civil rights division?" no one pushes back against threats like this, they become violent. no one is pushing back. here's a similar scene from portland, oregon, on friday. >> wake up!

[bleep] >> tucker: you may not live in portland, oregon, but imagine if you did. imagine if they did that on your street, the street you pay taxes to maintain. all of a sudden, the mob is shining lights in your window and screaming threats and obscenities. what would you do? would you cower inside? when decent people stay fearful and passive, things fall apart. many wrongly assume they can buy their way out of the chaos by hanging the right signs in their yards or mouthing the correct political slogan. maybe if i seem sympathetic, they will leave my family alone. no. that's wishful thinking. it never worked. the point is to crush you, to humiliate you in front of your

family. take a look at this church in kenosha from last night. it's a unitarian congregation, so of course they put the fashionably correct words outside. did the mob care? no, they didn't care. they burned it anyway. so who exactly are the people doing this, the people committing violence across the country? well, i'm afraid that the thugs are led by nihilists. all of the politics are controlled by angry people who went to college. educated people with an agenda. watch this interview with the blm activists of the university of illinois. it tells you everything about where the poison in this country is coming. >> protesters say police have no business working with students when they are responsible for striking black lives matter demonstrators. >> i didn't even hit the ground. i still got a concussion. that's how hard a grown white man wearing a uniform that i pay

for him to wear, that's how hard he punched me. >> i don't want the next bill gates. i want the next nelson mandela. i want angela davis. >> tucker: i want the next astonishin --she is a kidnapper. she is a murderer. she murdered a cop. she is an escaped prison inmate who spent the past years hiding in cuba sucking up to the cast castro's. they probably know all about her. they probably revere her. she is exactly the kind of person the illinois will produce. democratic politicians applaud this, the rise of mindlessness. why? because it means more votes for them.

they are no longer hiding it. after last night's riots, the governor of wisconsin took the side of the riots. they took the side of the rioters. does that surprise you? it shouldn't. we spent all last week watching the leaders of the democratic party making excuses for the destruction of american cities furthe. that's how you know it will continue, because they benefit from it. he is an investigative journalist. he took some of the pictures we just showed you. thanks for coming on. give us a broader understanding of what happened in kenosha. >> yeah, so a couple hours after the shooting took place, i was actually documenting those clips you played of the chicago blm

activists making radical claims. i was in chicago documenting that. but the shooting took place and i kind of went with it. went all the way up to wisconsin and literally, right when i arrived, they already had garbage trucks, some blm militants and rioters who were out with semiautomatic rifles policing the police. and right after that, right after the police tear gassed a lot of the rioters, because it was getting very violent, that's when the blm activists, this was all black lives matter, started to loot, started to vandalize, just ripped local businesses to shreds. i don't know how much of monetary value of damage they have caused, but they have shredded this local town to pieces. elected officials are siding with these criminals. they are criminals, tucker.

it's a shame that they are siding with them and not the local businesses that could have possibly locked their business for the rest of their lives. that is a story that needs to be talked about, tucker. i don't know why they do that. >> tucker: what is interesting is that they fund the destruction. so, when we awaken from this nightmare, the entire u.s. economy consists of like five monopolies. we will maybe see a connection between some of the stuff and the outcome. you think that's possible? >> absolutely. because black lives matter is a marxist organization. that's not your opinion. that's not my opinion. that's from their own mouth. the cofounder of black lives matter makes it very clear, we are trained marxists. they are well-trained, well-funded, and well-organized. everything you see is not by coincidence. these are very well-organized. when i am out on the streets, tucker, they are well have been organized. they know what they want to do.

they know what they are going to do. they go from business to business. they know exactly what the game plan is when something like this unfolds. we can't sit here and think that this isn't strategic violence, tucker, because it definitely is. >> tucker: of course, it is. it's also the benefit of one political party. thank you. i appreciate it. >> thank you. >> tucker: the republican national convention starts about 17 minutes from now. we expected to be different from last week's democratic convention. how different? we will see in a minute. plus, if you want to vote in person, you might not be able to. why? run >> sadly, the domestic enemo our voting system right at 1600 pennsylvania avenue, it is really actually shameful. ♪ 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. everybody in the company, they have that deference and that respect and that love for the veteran that makes this company so unique.

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.

the sound of your laugh cry screams. and how you make every day here the best day ever. we can't wait to get you back so we've added temp checks, face coverings, social distancing and extra sanitizing to get the good times going again. we're finally back, and can't wait until you are too. buy now and get two days free at the parks. restrictions apply. ♪ >> tucker: have you been to america lately? a lot of americans really haven't. for months, most of us have stayed close to home. the next time you go on a plane and visit a couple of american

cities, an awful lot has changed in a short time. churches are locked on sunday morning. that's weird. the parks are full of the homeless. when you do see people, they tend to be wearing masks and they won't get close to you. it's a very strange experience. the country has changed a lot. the culture has changed a lot, and really not for the better. so the question is, how long will this last? how long will we have to endure this? when will we get our country back? when can we live like we used to live? ththat question is rarely asked and asking is discouraged. at first, authorities told us that we could resume our lives after the curb was flattened. the curve stayed flat. so, we have a new benchmark for when we can get back. when we get a vaccine everything will be fine once we can vaccinate against covid-19.

they are still telling us that. the state of virginia says that when the vaccine finally does arrive, it will be mandatory. they don't require a vaccine for hiv. they don't require a vaccine for meningitis either. now they have changed that. not true anymore. according to a new announcement from the world health organization, it will not be the end of all of this. it will never end. you will still be under arrest. the world health organization says that reordering society is the goal. "we will not, we cannot go back to the way things were." that's a direct quote from the leader of the world health organization, who by the way it

is not really a doctor. because covid-19 is not a public health crisis really or even a virus. "covid-19 is in fact, this may surprise you, covid-19 is really about global warming. as he puts it, "the covid-19 pandemic has given new impetus to the needs to accelerate efforts to respond to climate change." but you didn't see that coming. earlier this month, gates posted an essay to his personal website arguing the lesson of the corona pandemic is that the rest of us will have to sacrifice even more to save the earth from warming. now, for people who are not billionaire global influencers, this is all pretty confusing. what does the coronavirus have to do with climate change? well, for one thing, china caught both of them. that is definitely not the point they are making. both of them vowed before china they would never criticize the

chinese government. but you can be assured that's not the connection they are drawing. no. for dr. ted rose and bill gates, pandemic and climate change share a very different connection. both are useful pretexts for mass social control. both are essentially unsolvable crises they can harness to bypass democracy and forced powerless populations to obey their command. now it makes sense. ever wondered why our leaders consider the coronavirus a major public health crisis but not suicides and drug overdoses? this is why. when a 26-year-old mother in new hampshire dies, they don't get more powerful. her death is useful t dominic usefuuseless to them. in just a few weeks, doubly virus spread from central china

through europe to every major city in the west. as that happened, the world health organization did nothing to stop it, and in fact spread misinformation as it was happening. those are the facts. so what would a rational person conclude from those facts? globalization has upsides, of course. it also has risks. pandemics spread very, very fast. then, as it happened, our most important international public health organization failed on purpose. it is corrupt. that's a huge problem. but no one is learning that. one was the last time you heard bill gates say those things? never. they never will. they don't benefit from acknowledging the truth. this is true about all crisis. they only take the lessons that empower them. how about global warming? how many rational persons affect

global warming? that's the claim they make. maybe they are right. then you want to take a very close look at the forces behind those carbon emissions. you would ask hard questions about the global economy. you wonder, who is profiting from this system that is destroying the earth? how exactly do the richest, most powerful people in the earth contribute to carbon emissions? that would be the first question you would ask. that's a logical way to think about climate change. and if you began to think that way, you might wind up concluding that people like i don't know, michael bloomberg were in fact climate criminals. their private jets produce more carbon than african villages, not to mention your own neighborhood. a lot more. apparently no one ever criticizes michael bloomberg. he's considered a leader in the fight against climate change. on the basis of the numbers, that is ludicrous.

but if you say it with a straight face and command, you believe it. all of us tend to place ourselves in the baroque center of our own narratives. that's particula particularly th people. but in this case, they are evading responsibility. they are profiting directly from a system they claim is responsible. it's your fault. you are the one who is doing it. you are the one. you have a pickup truck. you forgot to wear your little mask. you are going to -- we will be at the yellowstone club having a drink. it's a scam. it's an obvious scam. here's another data point for you. that you won't see on television. july 31st, the cdc, center for disease control, our primary public health organization funded by the government released guidelines about

patients infected with the coronavirus. how do you track the spread of the disease? in a footnote, the cdc acknowledged that researchers lacked evidence that "masks offer any protection against coronavirus." any at all. health officials worked to track the spread of the virus and cdc suggested that they ignored whether or not people were wearing masks. in other words, it might be completely irrelevant to preventing the spread of the virus. so there is still no proof that masks protect us against covid-19? the cdc put that in a release to the state. it seems like a blockbuster story. why isn't that on page one of "the new york times"? why is the entire media, the entire leadership class of the united states of america ignoring this? masks are obligatory anywhere. he just announced that if he is elected, you will be required to

wear a mask when you are alone outside. what is going on? you know what is going on. fear works. the more afraid you are, the more you will accept. again, it's human nature. the more cut off you are from your family and your friends, the more power they have to control you. this is an election year. democrats want to win in november. the virus is their main shot to win. they are using fear of the coronavirus to achieve that. for example, polling places, they would like to close more of them. why? to force the vote by mail. why? because vote by mail is more easy to manipulate. the latest relief bill would bring ballot harvesting to every state. it's not science. it's politics. here is the key thing to remember. all of us are assuming. this will end if joe biden wins. on inauguration day, no more

lockdowns. don't bet on it. the wuhan pandemic has made our leadership class more powerful than they have ever been. why would they relinquish that? the only politician in america who has ever given up power voluntarily is george washingt george washington. well, the republican convention kicks off right after this. it will be different than what we saw last week. we will find out and about 4 minutes. we'll be right back. ♪

the new democratic party of senator sanders and congresswoman alexandra castillo court is. they seem to support middle-class americans only if they are a part of a specific minority group that they deem important. and if you are not part of those elite groups and you are in the middle class, you are just deplorable. and they don't care about you. you are just ignorant and racist. number two, i think you will see the republicans talk a lot about american exceptionalis exceptio. america is the greatest country in all of human history. many democrats, not all of them,

tucker, but many democrats on the other end, there attitude seems to be, i was born in america, but i overcame it. they seem to, not all, but many of them seem to be of more contempt than gratitude for america. and that's why i think too many of my democratic colleagues have been too supportive, either implicitly or explicitly of the people who are trying to destroy our country by looting and burning and rioting and ignoring the rule of law. and that's what i think will be the differences between the two conventions. >> tucker: i mean, i think those are resident messages. i have to say because i can't resist, because there is rioting and looting and people are being hurt. police officers being hurt. ordinary people being hurt.

small businesses destroyed. and a lot of the attacks are race-specific. they say it out loud. the justice department doesn't appear to be cracking down on them. i'm confused how you can have a message for law and order and yet allow law and order to be undermined as it is been. >> well, you can't. you can't. and i don't think anybody in this country, anybody should apologize for being either white or black. souls have no color. they have no color. we are americans. >> tucker: yeah. i mean, it's impossible to know, of course. but do you think this is going to continue until election day? will someone finally see that you are not allowed to threaten people in their homes at night because you don't like the way they look? if that was some right wing group, you know as well as i that we would shut that down in about 15 seconds but we are putting up with this.

>> what you allow will continue. >> right. >> and our main errors of this city are allowing them to act. too many people in the national democratic party are just giving it a wink and a nod. and they think the chaos, i'm afraid is to their benefit in the next election. you know, at some point, you have to care about america and stop thinking about the next election and start thinking about the next generation. >> tucker: i agree with you. when governor violated the civil rights for the people in arkansas in 1956, president eisenhower sent the feds in. the feds came in and said, you are not going to do that in america. i just hope that will happen really soon like tonight. this is outrageous. >> so do i. >> tucker: amen. i couldn't control myself. senator, great to see you tonight. thanks so much for that.

walk with me what is the result of their decades? baltimore is one of the top five most dangerous cities in america. the murder rate in baltimore is ten times the u.s. average. the baltimore poverty rate is over 20%. homicide, drug, and alcohol deaths have skyrocketed. >> tucker: so, the woman you just saw in that ad, what is she going to say? lisa is a fox news contributor here we are happy to have her on tonight. it's so good to see you. >> hi, tucker. it's always great to see you. so, what i've been told about what she is expected to say tonight is to really fight for the inner cities. to not give up on trying to win

over these inner cities. what you are going to see is some of what we saw which is a blistering indictment on the democratic party and their failed policies, they've had a choke hold for 50 years. she mentions that it is black people who are suffering from these failed policies. we talked about the fact, tucker, that he has lost three sons to violence in the city of baltimore. so, she is going to talk about the need for safety there as well and bring in jobs and opportunity back to the city of baltimore. so, that's what we can expect from her coming up here shortly. >> tucker: it's a pretty compelling point. if i ran my family like the democrats in baltimore, i would be a terrible father, of course. and yet, she has taken a ton of abuse. the newspaper has attacked her repeatedly. have democratic leaders

responded to her at all? >> i don't know if i have seen that, but what we can expect is to see this criticism of what she has done. she has contradicted the narrative on the left and the media about what they say about the republican party and president trump. they say that the president is sexist, that he's racist. here is this young black woman who is taking them on directly, and not only that, but highlighting it. you pointed out how democrats have miserably failed the city of baltimore and how they have failed major cities across america. she has an interesting background as well, tucker. she's 38 years old. she runs a nonprofit called potential me. what it focuses on is workplace development trying to find disadvantaged women opportunities. she also ran in a special election in april. she is squaring off again in november. so, it will be an interesting race. it is an uphill battle.

the district is comprised of 68% republicans. no republican has ever won the district, but she certainly makes an extremely compelling case. >> tucker: lisa boothe, great to see you. thanks so much. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: we are going to go to him and then we are going to -- >> this is an army of patriots who love america and will protect her. we must win this election if we cherish this country as much as we should. so, there is no place to run, no refuge for freedom. it is not just an idea. it is our home. we must protect our home with unbreakable made in america strength. strength i see every day in president donald trump. thank you. ♪ all ♪ >> my name is kim clay sick and i'm running for congress

>> tucker: that was kim klacik from baltimore. this is mcdaniel. >> i am chairwoman of the republican national committee and on behalf of everyone in our party and president trump, thank you for tuning in as we kick off this historic convention. as we speak to you tonight, we send our thoughts and prayers to those facing terrible fires in california, recovering from storms in iowa, and preparing for hurricanes in louisiana and the gulf coast. democrats started their convention last week with eva longoria, a famous hollywood actress who played a housewife on tv. well, i'm actually a real housewife and a mom from michigan with two wonderful kids in public school who happened to be the only second woman in 154 years to run the republican

party. and unlike joe biden, president trump didn't choose me because i'm a woman. he chose me because i was the best person for the job. four years ago, president trump started a movement unlike any other and over the next four days, we will hear from a few of the millions of hardworking everyday americans who have benefited from his leadership. if you watch the dnc last week, you probably noticed that democrats spent a lot of time talking about how much they despise our president. but we heard very little about their actual policies. policies that would have been unthinkable a decade ago. policies like banning fossil fuels, eliminating private health insurance. taxpayer-funded health care for people who come here illegally and defunding the police. their argument for joe biden

boiled down to the fact that they think he's a nice guy. let me tell you, raising taxes on 82% of americans is not nice. eliminating 10 million good paying oil and gas jobs is not nice. policies that force jobs to flee our country or allow abortion up until the point of birth are not nice. the truth is, there's only one person who has empathized with everyday americans and actually been fighting for them over the past four years, and that is president donald trump. in the nearly four years i worked on behalf of president trump, i've seen up close a man who has a deep love for family, a man who has reverence for the office of the presidency, a man with an incredible respect for law enforcement and our military. i have seen private moments where he comforts americans in times of pain and sadness.

>> tucker: republican national convention. i want to bring in -- he has covered old and awful lot these conventions. so, for what you have seen so far, one of the messages tonight? >> well, obviously conventions have a lot to do with symbolism. so, what you saw tonight was a currently produce video of an uplifting video of america and the future and so on. he had a young african-american woman from the district of baltimore followed by a woman from the state of michigan and a mom. so, what the party is doing, as it always does in these times is to put a face forward. and republicans seem intent on putting forward a face that shows optimism, that shows diversity, that shows strong

women. these are the kind of people that the republican party and the policies under donald trump are about. i'm not sure everyone is going to buy it, but i think it's completely understandable that that's the message they are trying to put forward. >> tucker: if you look at the country, this is my take of course, but it feels like a fearful country. people are laboring under these coronavirus' tractions to watch police officers get hit in the head with bricks. i wonder how much of this convention will be given over to promising to protect the country from lunatics. >> i think that's part of what the message from the congressional candidate, kim klacik was about. i don't think she was believing and her presence reflected up belief that trump is going to

win the district that she is running then or many other deeply urban districts like that. but i think the purpose was to call attention to what is happening in that city and in cities across the country where there has been this recent very prominent rise in violence, looting, arson, and the rest of it. from my own experience as a reporter going back decades, it's hard for me to imagine that there isn't a backlash on all the stuff that is going to play into this election. of course, republicans like to play into the election is much as possible. in a sense, they are trying to nationalize that and not have it be seen as a bunch of local issues around the country. of course, they want to associate the democratic party with local democrats. that is obviously going to be part of the message. >> tucker: that's a smart analysis. thanks so much. apparently we are going to be hearing a lot more about the

coronavirus. the energy of the president about the wuhan virus. hey, doctor. >> tucker, this is the tale of two coparties. one party, the lockdown and fear party. the other party is the party of reopening, the party of innovation, the party of research. whichever party you are on, whichever side you are on, we all want to beat this coronavirus. this interview may be ready for tv, but i will tell you what i will remember it for. i will remember it for the look in his face when he talked about covid-19. i will remember when he talked about those he personally had lost from covid-19. and i heard news reports that he is going to be giving some surprise entrances at the republican convention. i wouldn't be surprised if the first or one of the first is him praising first responders or those on the front lines who put their health and their lives at

risk for covid-19 to fight the war against covid-19. speeone interesting. we are going to find out in about ten seconds. thank you so much for that. we appreciate you sticking with us. the convention continues with sean hannity coming up the republican national convention is officially underway. we have a programming note. big announcement at the end of the show tonight about where we'll be broadcasting the next three nights. breaking right now, we received a ten-minute warning that the president of the united states will make remarks and an appearance and be speaking. when that happens, we will bring it to you. also bring you a lot of the convention. we'll get to that in mere moments. a lot to cover tonight. we want you to see it for yourself. we'll also hear from dozens of speakers throughout the evening.
