line! the desert never lies. isn't that what i said? no you were talking about allstate and insurance. i just... when i... let's try again. everybody back to one. accident forgiveness from allstate. click or call for a quote today. tonight, friday august >> welcome to tucker carlson happy friday, what a week it was braid the president exhibitede his party's nomination last night from the white house. he gave a long speech, more than 70 minutes compare that to joe biden's 24 minute. and the presidents wasn't written with soundbites for twitter, it was pretty medium. he spoke at length about trade in manufacturing, jobs, he warned about illegal immigration and the burden of more refugees from dangerous countries prayed he pointed to joe biden's record which is thin, corrupt, and aes life or a bright man who after 50 years can't point to a single policy achievement prayed the best part of the speech came

early on when trump which you already know bear this is not a wicked nation. are cops aren't inherently racist, neither is america. they tell you that constantly but they are lying. the united states has flaws, but it's also the president remindei us last night the most free just and exceptional nation on earth. that's true. in our country free speech is allowed, violence is not allowed prayed what separates american democracy from caliban bureaucracy for example is that in america people can disagree with one another and disagree with the government without fearing for their lives. this used to be obvious. and all of a sudden joe bidenco could never say this out loud. his voters have destroyed cities across the country and murdered dozens of americans. donald trump doesn't have to, so

he said it and as a result, for the first time since the coronavirus arrived here, the president seemed likely to win reelection.. democrats are watching carefully, they know this, they can smell something has changed and they know why. normal people hate the violence they have unleashed. that is why this week finally after months, joe biden gently scolded the rioters. it is too late for that, this is going on for too long. the voters no longer listen to l him. last night at the president spoke a group of biden voters gathered outside the white house to threaten and intimidate anyone who support donald trump. they waited to ambush attendees. the mayor of washington calleded muriel bowser made all of thisen possible. she's been on the mob side since the first day. she allowed the mob to harass and terrify elderly taxpayers as they walked on city streets they pay for.

watch this. the that cops didn't protect these people. muriel bowser will with them protect these people. she won't let them do their jobs. law enforcement in washington dc is in so many places controlled by the democratic party has been completely politicized just as it is in the third world. if you don't vote the right way if you don't vote for them, you don't get police protection. the mob is allowed to hurt you. last night things fell outside so quickly outside the white house that rand paul and his wife kelly into their friends were told to get on a bus and leave the immediate area.

this interplay instigates and we were back to his hotel paired the streets are blocked and no one would let them through. that's when rand paul was attacked along with the officers protecting him. could get these people are not only violence, they're incredibly stupid. could get these people are not their mouth freezers, there are morons, they had nothing. say her name they schade shouted at rand paul paired they were talking about breonna taylor he was killed in a non- noc police raid. prayed as it happens, rand paul that bill was literally called the justice b forreoona taylor act. he has had to face political

violence before in 2017 he was nearly murdered by a bernie sanders supporter paid he was attacked by his neighbor apparently for political reasons and had to have part of his will and removed. it took months to get better. we will talk to him in a minute about what happened last night that he was not the only one attacks. every hand carrying fox news staff, nonpolitical people, was blocked and boarded in the middle of a city street. watch. we want to be clear, we don't think the van was targeted because fox news employees were inside. it seems like the biden voters pounding on it had no idea who was writing in it. c they didn't care. their assumption seemed to bese everyone in a motor vehicle was an agent of white supremacy. they certainly think that if anyone in uniform prayed watch as blm unit takes attack of cop

in washington this morning. >> this isn't happening by accident. it didn't happen five years ago. it's happening now not because police are more brutal or more unarmed african-american people are being killed by the police. it's a hoax. it's happening because the leadership of the democratic party are encouraging it and have been for quite some time. here is massachusetts congresswoman openly calling for violence in the streets earlier this month. >> hold them accountable. make the phone calls, so sended the e-mails, show up there they're needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there is unrest in our lives.

violence in the streets earliert there is plenty to go around barrett get there needs to be unrest in the streets we have been watching what unrest in the streets looks like. she says we need more. so there is more. presley, like nancy pelosi and brock and michelle obama and so many leaders in that party is t racial arsonist. she wants america to despise and fear each other. she is pleased when things burn. presley has no skills, she never created anything in her life she has built nothing. tearing things down is the onlyo way that she and people like her become powerful. so they push hate and chaos. republicans for all their many and very obvious faults don't do this. they don't do anything like this. when was the last time a mob of trump voters torched a wendy's or looted a target? and if you did, if you watch them do that, how would you feel about it you would be repulsed very do you think republican leaders would defend trump voters if they did that.

you think they would encourage them to do it again? that's a rhetorical question. you know the answer be right it's obvious prayed only biden voters do this. the left does this and they've done it for a long time. year ago this month they gathered outside mitch mcconnell's home where his family lives. dear member what this was about? watch. >> he thinks he's about to get >> he thinks he's about to get some rest. >> just add him in the hartford they mock the 77 -year-old who is recovering from surgery. they said that out loud.th it was on tape prayed we probably played it at the time. the rest of us should have

stopped what we were doing that day and demanded, demand from law enforcement, demanded from democratic leaders, an end to the threats, to the lunatic behavior and the implied violence. in it that has a place in a civilized country. but we didn't do that, we let it pass, we ignored it over time. so that threats continued and then the threats became violent as they inevitably do. the question is can we stop it? rand paul is the senator from kentucky enjoins us tonight. thank you for coming on.is >> i will start with you, missus paul, you wrote a very affecting peace in the washington examiner today about what you experience last night. can you tell us what it was like to be in the middle of the threats in the screaming? >> it was terrifying. i have never experienced anything like that in my life.e. i hope no one else does too. we felt completely powerless. before some of the video that i think you have shown where the

police with the bikes were kind of creating a moving barricade for us, in the minutes before the police with the bike showed up, we were completely encircled and surrounded pressed up against two cops who we were surrounded by people who were screaming in our faces, yelling that they were going to fs up. screaming say her name and at one point, at first i was trying to look in their eyes and trying to have any kind of reason or to see someone is a human being and i realized they did not seem us as human beings. we were trump supporters so they absolutely despised us, even though we were in a situation a and may be coded talked to some of those folks and they knew about his background in criminal justice reform and the things that i've spoken out on, we could have had agreement but in that moment it was a bloodthirsty mob and all i could think of was the man who was

kicked in the head in portland we could go. or the man whose jaw was broken or an eight -year-old sequoia turner. i really thought we were going to lose our lives prayed i thought someone was going to throw a brick. it was the most terrifying moment of my entire life.. >> a quick follow-up, given that come at the expense that you had come at you just described it so vividly, what do you make of the news coverage of it? i've seen a couple of different accounts today that suggest it was not a big deal at all. that you're complaining for political reasons npr tonight described it as a peaceful protest. what do you make of that? >> i am furious. i'm very upset, biden and kamala harris are not denouncing this.t you tell me if you're surrounde> by a mob, that will not let you move, that is screaming in your face, that is holding you completely hostage, and youyo cannot walk to your hotel and you're on a dark street, you tell me that's not violent. you tell me that's not an attack. >> there were times tucker, it happened incredibly quick.

you know, it's nearly 1:00 a.m. we have two blocks, we think we can make it two blocks. it looks clear, we make it one blog and write about the time we see the policeman, just as we approach the policeman the mob turns a corner and they say we've got rand paul, we've got a him trapped. 30 people descend on us within 30 became 60 became 90, became 120 and it swelled. we were in a pocky, kelly, i the two officers all in a very small park at pocket, they are pushing us, they are threatening to kill us, and they are p yelling., >> there getting closer and closer prayed. >> elected the policeman and iti said they know who i am.ol i'm in congress, i don't think the policeman knew i was in congress they said you need to call for reinforcement. he's calling for reinforcements but even though there were thousands of policeman, it seemed like forever to come.

the picture and the tenor of this, everything was getting louder and louder and louder. these police were brave, but there were two of them at first versus 120 people. if someone falls to the ground that's when the mob becomesut kicking and stomping people and you are done for. they came up, they were incredibly brave. the president has said this and i will say this again they deserve thanks, praise, and a metal, i will be in the white house when the president gives them a metal because i trulyin believe we would have been killed. the police saved our lives because these thugs would have killed us. they would have stomped us, and killed us and these people don't live in dc either. there is evidence that has come out that these people were paidd and that they came to town at someone else's behest. >> why are we putting up with this? this is the most heavily fortified city in the united states, the seat of our federall

government, they don't own these streets. most of them aren't even from there, why are we tolerating this for three months? we don't need to put up with this, why are we? >> look at where the problems are. portland, minneapolis portland, minneapolis york, what do they have in common?ro democratic mayors. democratic mayors for 50 years and the thing is the president put it well in his speech last night, he said if you want thel country to be portland, if you want the country to be on firegh put somebody in the white house that doesn't care about whether we have police or not. the police are brave and they are protecting us. i am for a lot of reforms for the police, but i never let myself forget that 99 percent of them or more are good people. they live amongst us, they go to our church. we see them in the grocery store and if we want to make it out it's the same misnomer and misrepresentation that all white people our racist. we actually have less racism

than i've ever had in my lifetime. we have been going in the right direction for so long. you look at corporate america universities, you lick it intermarriage, nowhe they're telling you that the world hates you and you might as well break windows and take stuff instead of going to college and succeeding. it just boggles my mind the violence has to stop. >> like right now prayed we can have those debates later once we make it safe to walk on streets. rand and kelly paul, thank you very much. that was compelling. appreciate it. >> thank you, tucker. >> last night joe biden voters assaulted and harassed. he's a former democrat who founded the walkaway campaign to encourage others to leave the party as well.

here is what happened last night in dc. >> that is what the left would called the new york times would call a hate crime, but only if it happened to someone they agreed with politically. they don't agree with the people in that video so they ignored it completely. keep in mind this is the same media establishment that jump with all four paws on the jesse just last year. remember that? to keep their many indications of a hate crime here. they're looking for two suspects apparently wearing make america great again hats though that has not been officially confirmed. can keep that media has cast so much doubt on his story, which i find so personally offensive that a black man is targeted and suddenly he becomes the

victim of people it so outrageous to me. >> the attackers hurled racial and homophobic slurs at him. this is america in 2019. >> these people are saying nothing about this of course. brendan shockley joins us here tonight prayed thank you for coming on and tell us what happened. where you were, and what these people's idea? >> thank you for having me tucker. i was a guest last night at the white house for the close of the rnc convention to watch the speech. it was a magical evening and everything was incredible like something out of a storybook. i was there with a bunch of people from my organization. as i was leaving with two people the fellow man and conservative activist, we were exiting the convention along with a large group of people, and there was a small group of blm hecklers they are to harass people as they

were walking out. the majority of the people exiting went to the right, the two friends of mine and i exited and we went to the left which was a big mistake. we were trying to get back to our hotel and as were walking back to our hotel, four of the people who were with the blm mob that was harassing the majority of the people as they were leaving, was walking down thee street, crossing us as we were walking back to the hotel. that's when they started hurling homophobic slurs at us coming anti- gay slurs prayed. they threw a drink at me at cup in my face and they and they hih libby albert, the girl that was with me. they called us the anti- effort about four or five times as you can see in that video. and i have to tell you, tucker i have endured anti-gay attacks like this at several times in my life.i-

it's been at least ten years and sent something like this happen. what made this bill different as that this time the attackers get to portray themselves as the victims. back in the day when we would endure homophobic attacks, at least they didn't have the to say that they were the victims. >> that is such a good point. to although well-meaning rich ladies with blm signs on their front lawns. and all the hr departments allocating millions of dollars to blm, what would you say to them? >> i would say that this is a group that just attacked two gay men appeared they've attacked people around the country. they are a dangerous group.oo if i may say quickly too because you brought up that way the media covered that and i would like to ask some of those in media, people like anderson cooper, do you have anything to say about the fact that two men

were attacked last night by black lives matter because you have been supportive of this organization. i would like to know what you think that two people in yourck community were attacked by this organization. >> fair question. thank you for coming on tonight. appreciate it. >> thank you, tucker. >> so back to back the b democratic national convention and the republican national convention paired they weren't the same. we will show you how different they were just ahead. we will she >> the party's nominating

>> the party's nominating conventions are over for the 2020 election cycle. they were essentially virtual. amazingly, no one saw this coming from a protection quality perspective, the republicans want a party of hollywood laws the republican shot real fireworks, they found actual people to clap for their nominee, they didn't have to digitally insert anyone. they even managed to exit the convention without anyone getting hurt. all of these are big achievements in democrat run washington, but how do the conventions compare unsubstituted of live old. democrats insisted their convention would be light and uplifting and they hoped you would take their word to it. don't look too closely at the fine print.d if you didn't catch what they

said from the podium, you may i have reached a different conclusion.ha life is very hard for people whe look like michelle obama essays and shall obama. she did next lane when she was broadcasting all of this from the mansion and one of the palest communities on earth, but whatever. watch. >> they see people calling the police on folks minding their own business just because of the color of their skin. they watch in horror as children are torn from their families and thrown into cages and pepper spray and rubber bullets are used on peaceful protesters for a photooptical sadly, this is the america that is on display for the next generation.ly but they are matters of

character. >> is there anyone more privileged than that? by the way, if you doubt her privilege, go read her thesis from princeton. ask yourself, how does somebody who wrote something this stupid wind up this famous. she is telling us that the cages her husband built are bad now throwing rocks and torching churches, is in fact peacefulre protesting. by the way, the country is racist. at the republican convention by contrast, the kentucky attorney general republican called damian daniel cameron was more upbeat he said he supported the president. he did it anyway. he delivered what effectively amounted to a condemnation of identity politics. here is part of it.

>> they believe your skin color must dictate your politics. if you failed to conform while exercising your god-given right to speak freely, they will cut you. >> fundamental fairness. that might sound like a worthwhile goal for a civilized country. but laws and fairness barack obama told us are in facts but expressions of bigotry destroying businesses in waking people up in the middle of the night because you don't like the way they look, that is fulfilling our country's dreams. >> americans of all races joining together to declare in the face of injustice. that black lives matter. no more, but no less. to the young people who lead us this summer, telling us we need to be better, in so many ways it you are this country's dreams fulfilled. >> another pompous rich personon lecturing us.

sometime we will read his wife's thesis. the rioting that these people are encouraging will ever get to where they live, there aren't going to be any riots on martha's vineyard. under those low income housingwi projects that he wants to build in your neighborhood will be constructed in his neighborhood. that's white and one of thisth smartest program removes of their convention, republicans didn't give speaking slots tohi politicians, they brought in people like mark and trish and mccloskey and we're indicted for trying to defend themselves. >> it seems as if the democrats no longer view the democrats job as protecting honest citizens from criminals, but rather protecting criminals from honest citizens.

>> there, they are already being defunded, disbanded, blaming are best and allowing societies worst. democrats have turned their backs on a brave police officer. is in it that they had personalw security proved to protect them. why don't they forgo their security and replace them with social workers? especially since that's what they want for you and me. >> they're turning america into a dangerous country by keeping their own bodyguards which you are paying for. they treated us to an entitled rich girl. she didn't grow up in the hood she grew up in westchester. she learned a lot from the experience. watch.

>> infidelity and gratitude to amass people's movement, working to establish 21st century social, economic, and human rights including guaranteedd healthcare, higher education living wages, and waiver rights for all people in the united states. >> amass people's movement says sandy cortes of westchester. that's what we need bread we fed a lot of masked people's movements around the world. one of them took place in cuba in 1959. maximo alvarez grew up in cuba he lived through the world that sandy cortes would like to create. he fled to florida to survive. he spoke at the convention really one of the best beaches of the rnc. here is part of it. >> i heard the promises of fidel castro. t i can never forget all those who grew up around me. who look like me, but suffer starved, and died because they believe those empty promises. those false promises bread the wealth.y free education, free healthcare

defunded the police? trust the social estate more than your family and your community? they don't sound radical to my ears, they sound familiar. to get they sound familiar.r trust estate more than you trust your own family. that is what they're telling you by the way. that is the theme that runs through it. we often attack the republican party and they deserve it. when you get right down to it there's a massive difference between the party. the bedrock of beliefs of the party are not the same, that is the most obvious take away from the last two weeks. >> over on cnn the governor of new york's brother has a primetime show. is he the man he seems to be on tv?

secret tape recordings suggestbe no, he's a very different man from the one you see on tv. we will explain next. ee on tv. we w w w w w

>> television is a famously phony medium grown marrow wear makeup to work. television television also a overtime is revealing. if you watch long enough you can tell who is real and who is fragile and. you're about to have all of your perceptions conform too. remember all the president's former lawyer that went to jail for tax evasion? he was a committed sleaze ball so it won't surprise you to learn he's very friendly with a number of well-known media finger figures. they have a lot in common. the unethical layer and the. unethical talkshow host. cohen talked all of them

recently. it. it turns out the conversations were tape-recorded. copies have been floating around for quite some times now, none has aired publicly at. who is he talking to? a lot of people. heat in the governor's brothers had a shocking conversation. bottom line, chris cuomo is not the person he pretends to be on cnn. and there is more. this is developing story and wel will have all of it for you next week. to nin. prosecutors have charged kyle rittenhouse with murder, two people shot during the rights this week. one of the people who was there right at the scene in fact no one was closer, was richie mcginnis of the daily caller. ricci mcginnis was almost hit by a gunshot at one point, he

was a critical witness to what has become a very controversial crime. he joins us tonight for details on what he saw. richie, thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. >> you are, we spoke to you the other day, but didn't quite understand just how close you were to the shooting. it turns out there may have been gunshots fired before the one that killed joseph rosenberg. tell us what you saw. >> tucker, i was just about ten or 12 feet behind them as they ran into the parking lot. what i saw was rosenbaum pursuing. and rittenhouse turned around right before he turned around i'm not sure if this is the reason he turned around, but there was a gunshot. that is visible on video. it's not clear weather thatbl gunshot was fired into the air or towards rittenhouse. a turned around immediately after that. at that point, he went from running away to aiming his weapon at rosenbaum. i was directly behind rosenbaum. so i took one or two steps to my right right as rosenbaum was lunging for the barrel of the rifle. he was that close to him. he took the barrel of the rifle and just dodged it around eight

as rosenbaum was falling forward he fired quickly for shots into rosenbaum. at that point, i was maybe 12 maybe 15 feet behind them. my concern as i saw him run away was to provide whatever aid i could that the man i saw gravely injured in front of me. what i didn't realize until after when i reviewed the video footage is that when he ran away he ran around the car and right back up behind me. i was kneeled on the ground. i was preparing to find out where the bullet holes were. when a pair of legs arrived next to me. i just saw the legs, i didn't see anything else. i said what are you doing, call 911.1. i saw that individual grab a phone, and i put it up to their head and i found out later that that was actually rittenhouseb himself who had just shot rosenbaum.

soon after that he ran away. a bunch of other individualsat arrived. you did our best to plug whatever winds we saw. somebody said the hospital was just across the street so i slung rosenbaum's arm over my shoulder, his right arm, the other individual took his left and then some others took his legs and one of the men was holding my shirt actually on his head. we took them to the hospital as quickly as we could. >> and he died. but shots were fired before rittenhouse fired. the guy he shot was trying to pull his gun out of his hands. and then we learn that another man he shot in the arm had a handgun in his hand running at him with that. with the gun in his hand. at that man been charge for attempted murder, do you know? >> not that i know of, but i saw that man in the hospital shortly after i arrived, he came through the emergency room waiting room just with a couple of police officers and i saw his arm.

obviously, you can take a look at the damage i won't describe it on television. it was gruesome. >> there is a lot about this story that bears no resemblance whatsoever to the story thatan we're reading in the newspapers. it since you are to my knowledge the most knowledgeable person about what happens as you were standing right there. i'm grateful you came on tonight. >> thank you for having me.

>> fingerlike and good, a famous slogan, it is the latest victim

of the pandemic. why can't we lick our fingers when we eat chicken? the fox news medical contributor covid the policies of fear. ewy, doctor? >> tucker, let me tell you what the power of science says here. it says that you wash your hands before you eat a meal or after but in terms of the chicken itself, when you cook it, you're killing all germs, so i don't care if you eat it with a knife or fork, i don't care if you eat it with your fingers, you won't get covid that way. this is more about political posturing. speaking of political posturing we've seen that with a virtual democratic national conventions where they say everything isal virtual, but with protest, not so virtual. people up in your face, people by the way, you think you can social distance while you're burning down a building? i don't think so. i don't think you can do it when you're screaming without masks on. i to be fair, we also saw the white house without enough mass and social distancing, but that's hardly the same thing but what i've just described with

the hypocrisy going on with the democratic national convention. i think we need more consistency with public health. more consistency, and we needed across the country. i have a suggestion tonight. i think when they get that test that's coming out that we will have 50-100 doses of in october i want to see as the entity every college and school and every football game, let's put one at the protest two. let's test people and see what we can do about it. >> that is a great recommendation. thank you. >> thank you. >> people have been rethinking a lot of their assumptions over the past couple of months. one of them is is does any political party has been a monopoly on the loyalty of any one group or race? that is a question we will discuss with business partner of

iced tea, the film maker and rapper wrapper right after the break.

>> tucker: do americans have an obligation to vote for a political party based on the way they look? that's a question that's rarely asked and certainly not fast enough, but the election season with that would ask it. if they've been thinking about this and he's had a lot long career in the entertainment business. and i mean come on the basketball league, he's now a business partner with their rapper ice cube and thank you so much for coming on, jeff. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: does any party have a monopoly on the vote of a racial group? >> i think that the democrats believe they have a monopoly. first, i want to say, i'm here to talk to white americans, and

i think tucker, what we have seen on your show is that there's a lot of chaos. there's a lot of unrest and frustration. what we need is a vision for the future to actually go after the problem. what we've got, we've got two parties, trump arguing for law and order whether we need it or not, it's addressing a symptom. the democrats are telling us that we just have to vote because we've got to get trump out. we had to get to the solution after the election. you know, the selection, the black vote can determine who wins. verywi clearly. as you know and we talked about before, demographics are changing and that might not happen. that might not be true for you and so the whole idea of sit back and wait and you'll get your turn, it's been 50 years

since the civil rights and today's the anniversary of the march on washington. the wealth gap between the black families, the white families, it's not changed since 1962. it actually went -- got worse during obama. democrats, republicans both talk about how important it is to have civil rights and defeat racism. i i don't think either party is awfully unracist and i think that most people in america are not racist and they wanthe solutions. someone's got to stop up an ice cube put a contract that's a comprehensive solution, criminal reform, economic reform, justice reform to go to the root cause of the problem and that's not what i hear either party thing.

>> tucker: i wish i had more time because it's very interesting and important subject, but it seems to me that a lot of the times that politicians yell about are designed to keep us from talking about economics. >> i agree. i think for politicians, they're going to fear. look, no one's happy, everyone's screaming and were talking about how the other party -- this is up and down balance and talking about how, you know, mayhem and the end of the world will happ happen. instead of why not come up with something that's exciting, that's bold, that gets people instead of worrying about suppressing the black vote and suppressing black votes from people who believe in civil rights like i do. i think alana democrats talk about like they do. >> tucker: i appreciate you

coming on the show tonight and it's an. interesting point and not made often enough. thank you for saying that. >> let me just say one last thing. if john f. kennedy said those who don't allow peaceful resolutions to happen made -- >> tucker: we are out of time. ♪ >> sean: welcome to this special edition of hannity, countdown to 2020, i'm jacob chafe it's in tonight for sean and last night president trump delivered a remarkable address closing out the republican national convention. pledging results for f the forgotten men and women of the country all while celebrating americans greatness and offering real policy solution to move the country forward. he is a small example. take a look. this election decides whether

we save the american dream or whether we
