9:00 pm
♪ >> this is a fox news alert, i'm rick leventhal in los angeles. we are monitoring my pictures from louisville, kentucky, the latest flash point in the black lives matter movement. at this hour, the city of louisville and others across the country are once again the scene of mass protests filling the streets. kentucky's largest city, the demonstrations turned violent late wednesday. two police officers were shot, suffering we are told are nonlife-threatening injuries. a suspect is in custody and a curfew now in effect until 6:00 a.m. if the protests and violence, heels of a grand jury decision announced wednesday afternoon not to charge three officers directly for the shooting death of breonna taylor last march.
9:01 pm
things have calmed down a bit on the streets of louisville. fox news correspondent matt finn has been there all day and joins us live now. what's the latest? >> rick, the latest louisville police tell us the middle east 46 arrests today and were probably witnessing a few more over here. this been about a dozen or two dozen people detained from a short while ago there were flareups on and off, protesters taunting police, yelling curse words at them and over and over again police are getting on the loudspeaker saying that this became an unlawful assembly and warning people to go home or they will be arrested and it looks like those people never went home and are probably going to be arrested in a short while. this area behind me has really been ground zero for protests and demonstrations for the past couple of weeks and months. there's a memorial for breonna taylor right behind me here in the town square and then just a few hours ago there are hundreds of protesters, some turned rioters here, starting fires, throwing things at police and
9:02 pm
the officers came out in full force, they came out on a tactical gear and they really gained control of the situation but then of course there were people lingering in the area, officers warning them to go home. those people did not and now they are being detained. >> any more information on the circumstances of the shooting of those two officers? >> no. it happened at least a mile away from where i was, so i have no eyewitness information to give you. my understanding is both of those officers are stable, that they are alive, that it was not a fatal shooting, fortunately, rick. >> excellent, matt finn, we will be checking back with you. as i mentioned, louisville just one of several american cities witnessing a new round of street demonstrations, police confronting protesters in new york i filled althea, las vegas and washington, d.c.. and for the most part those demonstrations have been peaceful. in chicago, several hundred people gathered in various
9:03 pm
neighborhoods around the city and at police headquarters chanting breonna taylor's name and demanding justice. we will be keeping an eye on this developing story throughout the night and the morning. i'm rick leventhal in los angeles, now we join tucker carlson already in progress. >> tucker: watch. >> evidence shows that officers both knocked and announced their presence at the apartment. the officers statements about their announcement are corroborated by an independent witness who was near in a proximity to apartment 4. in other words, the warrant was not served as a no-knock warrant. >> tucker: so there you have it. the facts of the case, and we've seen this before, are not what we were toldld they were, becaue real life is always more complicated than political propaganda. there was no evidence of any kind that breonna taylor was murdered because she was black.
9:04 pm
that is alive. it's a lie designed to divide the country and make the people telling it more powerful. instead it seems clear that taylor was shot accidentally because her boyfriend opened fire on the police in an open, dark apartment and he may have done that accidentally. yet in the end the facts of the case didn't matter. blm's version has marinated unchallenged for six months. the mob had ascended in louisville abetted by a reckless media and paid by someone. as the grand jury prepares decision, louisville girded for what they knew what was coming so that authorities declared a state of emergency, police blocked roads, businesses nailed plywood over the windows, even a local children's hospital boarded up its entrance. the doctors and nurses inside knew they were not safe from the mob. today the grand jury finally announced decisions. here it is. one officer has been indicted, indicted on three counts of wanton endangerment. he was not charged with shooting and killing breonna taylor. instead the grandhe jury found that by firing ten rounds, he
9:05 pm
may have acted recklessly. keep in mind, he only fired his gun after one of his partners had been shot by kenneth walker, so should he have not returned fire? how many rounds is a cop allowed to discharge when someone starts shooting at him? no one answer those questions and in fact it's hard to believe would be having conversations this absurd, much less discussing the officers indictment if biden voters weren't in the streets making threats and demanding. o in other words, the mob is now in charge of our justice system. they are clearly having influence on it in louisville and in other cities. we've given you example's before. what kind of country is that? but the mob once more. one indictment and get another fake hate crime isn't enough. they want blood. watch. >> believe [indiscernible] [bleep]. >> tucker: get ready to die, he says to the cop. who says that?
9:06 pm
a terrorist says that, get ready to die. it's not just police officers who have been targeted by the mob, it's the entire city of louisville.th watch. >> [indiscernible]. >> tucker: in louisville, authorities of acted more decisively tonight than authorities and many other cities have responded this summer. they've called in the national guard, local police also moved in apparently enforce the mob is still destroying businesses and private property. there are too many for police to detain. watch this. >> no justice, no peace! [indiscernible].
9:07 pm
>> tucker: so this is how america works now. you don't like the grand jury decision so you break things and you hurt people and you steal what isn't yours. that's how we function now. but no country can function for a long under standard. things will fall apart and that of course is the point of the riot. it had o nothing to do with breonna taylor, most of these thugs know nothing about her. the point, by contrast, is to break america, to overthrow our system, to replace it with something else with other people in charge. that's what this is about. o it's a coordinated effort and it's a well-funded effort. watch the mob unload the u-haul is full of signs, shields and other riot supplies. >> [indiscernible]. >> tucker: so the obvious
9:08 pm
question is who is paying for all of this? who's organizing this? it is organized and expensive. someone is doing it. we have some leads tonight into who rents the u-haul truck you just saw and if we find more we will bring it to you of course, but the broad outlines are already clear and have been for a while. the most privileged people in our society are funding our society'sed destruction. as the riots raged, the blow-dried revolutionaries at "cosmopolitan" magazine in new york, cosmo, tweeted instructions on how to help the riders.io "the louisville community bail fund is using donations to bailout protesters and provide post police support to get them toto a situation of safety. donate now. donate now! that's the command from the hearst corporation, that's the compancompany that owns cosmopo. they made more than $11 billion last year, so billionaires are pushing riots. okay. we've seen a lot of that
9:09 pm
recently. why are they doing that? the same reason kamala harris listed donations to the minnesota freedomns fund, they'l for convicted cop killers. the same reason several of joe biden for president staffers did the same things. the same recent george soros funds radical das who encouragedto him. they allow people to get murdered. why are they doing this? because they want to destabilize the country. and by doing that, create a diversion. the more people are angry at each other, the more enraged they are at cops making 50 grand a year, who effectively have no power, the left focused the t countries on the [indiscernible] of silicon valley and wall street, so that's why they're paying for it. in the media, they bow to their corporate mastersed and they ply along, as they always do. just this afternoon, the kentucky attorney general said he opposes mob violence, which you would expect of course an attorney general to oppose mob violence.
9:10 pm
the hope point of law enforcement ditches to oppose mob violence. it wasn't a controversial statement. here's what he said. >> if we simply act on emotion or outrage, there is no justice. mob justice is not justice. justice sought by violence is not justice. >> tucker: mob justice is not justice. that used to be the most obvious possible observation, particularly coming from someone in the south, which for a long time at a problem with mob justice. you probably thought we all agreed that wasti bad.ag you probably heard the attorney general of kentucky sat that. that sounds sensible. but over at cnn they were enraged. cnn knows that mob justice isn't just [indiscernible], in fact, if the subject of the democratic platform in 2020 so they attacked it. watch this. >> a question the judgment of
9:11 pm
the kentucky attorney general saying "mob justice is not justice." he said it becomes revenge. that word, the mob, and the president having said if joe biden wins, the mob wins, we know this is very politically loaded language. >> tucker: look at yourself in the mirror, cnn anchor, what are you doing? you know what you're doing. you're encouraging violence. criticizing violence is "very politically loaded language"? she's scolding us? really to that's what they're saying. you will hear cnn anchors lecture kentucky's attorney general for calling out rioters, but you won't hear them say a word about what aired on msnbc today. we were watching, here it is. >> your death is irrelevant to the law in the state of kentucky. it doesn't matter, your life doesn't matter.r. this was a black lives don't
9:12 pm
matter whirling. >> if you're not saving your house and you're not safe on the streets, wtf? i mean, where do we go from he here? >> you're not safe anywhere, because i can't go anywhere -- if i go jogging i could end up like ahmad are buried. you can't go anywhere if you'reg black. >> tucker: it's all such a t lie. it's ake lie. it's a demonstrable l lie. the statistics don't back it up, the experience of your life, the matter what color you are, doesn't back it up and the fact that hundreds of thousands of people every year move here who are black to the united states is living reputation of what they said, nothing about that is true. and they know it's not true. the guy who said it has a phd.hd you can't go anywhere after black. yeah, he says from a tv studio. but that's the unified message of the american media. again, they know it's not true. they know that taylor didn't die
9:13 pm
in a no knock police raid. her death is sad, it's a tragedy, but it wasn't an act of racism. there is no evidence of that and if there was we would admit it, but they don't care. w all they care about is getting enough people to believe that this dystopia that they describe is real. why? it's an election year. if enough property burns, if enough public streets are impassable, in the end, people may decide i will vote for joe biden to make it stop. but what then? if joe biden wins on novembe november 3rd, billion dollar corporations like hearst will be fine. theco billionaires paying for ai this, stocking u-haul's with riot supplies will be fine. but where will you be? you'll be on your own. in a moment we are going to talk to bob woodson about all this, but first we're going to go to matt finn. there was some action on the ground just seconds ago and we want to hear from him about what it was. hey, matt.
9:14 pm
>> yeah, tucker, there's a lot of action right now. you can see walking in, moving into jefferson park square in downtown louisville. this part for quite some time has been ground zero for demonstrations and protests. several fires were lit here, or some small fires that are stillt burning. we watched protesters light fire to the justice center and throw bottles of police. now police declared unlawful assembly over a very loud loudspeaker and they have warned people that if they did not clear this area and end their unlawful assembly, arrest would be made. they gave fair warning, that is what's happening here. over to my left there are hundreds of officers in s.w.a.t. gear. they're basically just trying to reclaim this area that a lot of peoplea were gathering in that unlawful assembly. for right now, muchng more calm than it was a short while ago when people were hurling objects at police and lighting small
9:15 pm
fires outside of the criminal justice center, tucker. >> tucker: matt finn on the ground for us in louisville. [indiscernible]. wow. those are life pictures. we will bring in bob woodson now, one of the first group of people weow turn to in moments f this to make sense. what do you think is going on here? >> first of all, your assessment of the situation is spot on. there's an old african problem that one bull elephants fight, the grass always loses. in this situation, the losers are poor blacks. i spent my entire professional life working on behalf of poor people of all races but particularly low income blacks and i can tell you that they are the ones who are suffering. it means that if police are downtown policing rights -- it means they are not in the neighborhoods protecting them. some of these extremists demand that police be withdrawn and
9:16 pm
defunded, it means that it's a death sentence for young people in these neighborhoods because there's a direct correlation between reduction and police presence and increase in violence and murder. more blacks, tucker, are killedt in one year by other blacks than was killed and 50 years of lynchings by the clan. we have a 9/11 every six months. in chicago, there was last week a community group where appealing to buy bulletproof backpacks and bulletproof baseball caps and they had little children, showing people how to use them and they're saying because the city has neglected us -- bulletproof backpacks and they're not buying these to protect themselves from the police as kamala harris and celebrities are saying.
9:17 pm
they continue to propagate this lie that the biggest threat to black young men is coming from the police. and that is just a lie intended to keep black america inflamed and agitated so they can be controlled. we are supporting a group of black mothers called mama's rescue and they are a group of mothers who lost children to urban violence and they are saying nobody is listening to us. i spent the whole day with them saturday and they want to say, and they are saying they are solidly behind the police, but no one really listens to the people in thoseeh communities suffering the problem, because they deserve to be heard from, but they are the ones were losing. we lost 20 children in chicago in the last year, 700 blacks
9:18 pm
that were killed. bulletproof backpacks? they have resorted to that? and the answers can be found where the problem is. and that is supporting grassroots leaders like the [indiscernible] in washington, d.c., that has created a zone of peace for the last three months, but no one comes there to talk about investing in groups in those communities that in fact have began to redirect the children away from self-destructive behavior. but instead, we are saying it's related to institutional racism. >> tucker: i don't think "cosmo" magazine is raising any money for grieving black mothers in chicago or washington. i think you're right about that. i always appreciate it and i know our viewers do, thank you. >> thank you, tucker. speeone's of the pictures on your screen right now are from louisville, kentucky, but there
9:19 pm
are incidents apparently breaking out in a number of cities in the country tonight in response to this grand jury verdict, in which, if you're just joining us, one police officer was indicted for reckless behavior for returning fire. so the chaos that we are watching is organized, that is obvious. provably true. so will there be consequences? will we find out who's paying for this, who is behind it? we will investigate after the break. ♪ it, we investigate after the break. break. ♪ - hello world do you see me? though hidden, i am here waiting for the rest of my life to unfold. soon i will arrive.

♪ >> tucker: welcome back, we've got life pictures on the screen from louisville, kentucky, where rioting has broken out following a grand jury decision this afternoon, one police officer indicted in the shooting of breonna taylor back in march. that was not enough for the rioters, so they are destroying things. why are they doing this and who's paying for it? some of the richest corporations and the most famous celebrities in the country are paying for it. or openly supporting violence in
9:25 pm
louisville today is the openly supported it in minneapolis several months ago.t aforementioned earlier, the multibillion-dollar hearst corporation is soliciting donations to a fund for the rioters. so as an actor called dan leavy. "disgusted, enraged, heartbroken, please contribute if you can, justice should not be a luxury." meanwhile, a woman called linda, kind of left wing gadfly, most recently spoke of the democratic party's convention in august tweeted this today. "rise up all across this country. everywhere, rise up for breonna taylor." this is all in the open. they are calling for violence openly. how can this happen and one of the consequences? matt walsh has been following every day of it, the host of the mat will show we are always happy to have him here. thanks for coming on so if people are not even pretending
9:26 pm
anymore, they're just rise up?di what does that mean? what could it mean other than what it obviouslyy means? >> yeah, they are not pretending anymore and that's why think we have to just keep emphasizing -- although i guess the truth doesn't matter anymore, certainly doesn't matter to the rioters but we should emphasize, as you did, everything we've read about the breonna taylor case is alive. they did announce themselves, they only fired because the boyfriend shot at police first, and also they weren't there randomly, the police had reason -- breonna taylor was on the warrants. they had reasoneoa to believe tt she was involved in her ex-boyfriend's trade in jailhouse conversations that the ex-boyfriend had recorded seemed to confirm that fact or at least strongly indicated. all of that is false but we know that the blm narrative is false every single time. t you look at all the cases the summer, ricardo nunez, jacob light, george floyd, all of the narratives there are false, it doesn't matter because we know that police brutality is just a
9:27 pm
pretense that's used. they had the riot shields and the signs there regardless. there were going to use them no matter what the grand jury said. it's allan just a pretense for this radical left-wing insurrection, this well-funded, coordinated insurrection, i think that's what this is and it's a pretense for that and i think the feds need to be hunting down the people coordinating this and charging them, because that's where looking at. >> tucker: sure. if i went on twitter and said send money to has below, i've a feeling i'd be shut down fairly quickly and if i kept it up the justice department would get involved. people get ont twitter, famous people, very famous people, big corporations and raise money for rioters wrecking our country and everyone says that's completely cool. why? >> well i think people reason say it's cooler that lease they tolerated is that many americans anyway have still been sort of cowed into submitting to the sly that at the end of the day is
9:28 pm
about racial injustice so if you speak up against it then yourhe racist. even if it's a famous celebrity, lebron james is a multimillionaire superstar celebrity, always going around talking about how he's terrified to be black men in america. it, but ifoubt people are afraid to say anything about it because they think that they'll be sort of disregarding the anger and angst of these writers, but it's all a farce. black lives matter, their website just in the lastt few days but they scrub some parts of their website. they're what we believe section used to say things like we want to dismantle the nuclear family. at some point in the last few days, they took all that stuff off and i think the reason that they realized more americans are waking up to the fact that there is all the pretext of radical agenda and so now they're trying to cover their tracks. >> tucker: to some extent it's onon us, isn't it? we are putting up with this. if you owned a business in
9:29 pm
louisville and the authorities said there's going to be a riot because the rioters don't like a grand jury decision, why wouldn't you just put a beach chair right in front of your business and say i'm defendingnt my business? myf property, my life, not goig to boarded up. this is america, why is no one doing that? >> well i agree with you but that also you have to keep in mind the position business owners are in there seen this happen already more if they defend their business the next ththing you know they could be going to jail for that. so let's one burned on your business and defendant and next thing you know you're impatient ough my prison and that's the position a lot of people are in. >> tucker: we are requiring cowardice of ouren population. it's really corrosive. matt walsh, you've been a brave voice on these questions from day one and i really appreciate it, thank you. >> things a lot.
9:30 pm
>> tucker: democrats are running an entiree presidential campaign on the notion that police are racist and they are terrorists. that's in the democratic party's platform. so what are the consequences of it? this iss a war on police. where does it leave the rest off us? danny colson has thought a lot about it, form and deputy assistant of the fbi, thanks so much for coming on. where does this leave the rest of us? i think we may have lost transmission from danny colson. i'm sorry about that. okay. we are going to go back to him when we get that line back up and running. the question is at this point, once democrats defund the police, who will the rest of us turn to, and who will democrats turn to? one city has an answer to that question, they will turn to [indiscernible]. we will explain, next. ♪ .

breonna taylor in part because her boyfriend inside the apartment open fire first. matt finn has been witnessing conversation, confrontations and joins us live from there, what is the situation on the ground? >> there is at least a dozen people being detained right now here on the street. likely going to be arrested and booked. for several hours now there were flareups in which protesters and rioters were roaming around past curfew, they were taunting police, you know, cursing at them and over and over again law enforcement got on the loudspeaker and warned that had become an unlawful assembly. law enforcement warned that people would be arrested if they did not go home and his people that we are seeing tonight probably did not comply and now they are being detained. this is happening here, what's really become ground zero for protests in louisville, in the center of the downtown, a memorial for breonna taylor, but a couple hours ago, there were
9:38 pm
hundreds of protesters here, they started a few fires, they threw objects at police and police came out with a very strong show of force. they had tactical gear. they had crowd control gear, they were warning over and over again that if people did not comply they would be arrested and ultimately that is probably what we are witnessing right now, rick. >> matt finn on the ground in louisville, thanks very much. as we mentioned, that is just one of several american cities witnessing this new round of street demonstrations, police standing guard among protesters in new york, philadelphia, las vegas, and washington, d.c. for the most part, those demonstrations have been peaceful. in chicago, several hundred people gathered in various locations across the city and at police headquarters chanting breonna taylor's name and demanding justice and here in los angeles tonight, hundreds of protesters on the streets in downtown l.a., so far no reports of any trouble there, but of course we will be monitoring these developments on the story throughout the night in the

morning. i am rick leventhal in los angeles. now we had back to "tucker carlson tonight" already in progress. >> their view at this trade. it is really, really bizarre. >> tucker: we say we are from women but we degrade motherhood, we elevate prostitution and pimping, we sanctify abortion, it doesn't sound like we are really for women, does it? >> it's not for women at all. there are so many people that like to virtue signal, if the appearance of being for women, the appearance for being for people of color. we just fired a hundred police officers, getting ready to fire 1000 police officers and running other crops out of towns and yet again we are now normalizing pimps. >> tucker: jason rantz, great to see you tonight, thank you. >> good to see you, tucker. >> tucker: so we are hiring pimps, getting rid of the cops, hiring human traffickers., mark steyn, one of the very few people on television has the whole sweep of history in mind
9:40 pm
as he assesses the president and we are happy to have him on tonight h to consider what's gog on in our country. what is going on in our country? >> well, just to pick up on what you and jason were talking about, in fairness to being a, it's a real job, you get to treat women appallingly, dealing human trafficking, but it's a realal job, it's a hard job, its a tough job. what mr. taylor is now doing is a nonjob. and he's getting hundred 50 grand for it, which is actually more than most state governors get buried i think he makes more than 30 governors, including my own in new hampshire. and we all know this, the left know it, the msnbc guys know it, this is a joke. if you were seriously interested in any of the issues that have been roiling america for the last six months, you would not be appointing a pimps as a street czar 460 grand.
9:41 pm
that's just the usual attitude striking nonsense which is why some jurisdictions in this country are in decline. one reason china is now then number one power in the world is because it doesn't actually pay x-pimps. we all know nonjobs are going to do anything for the alleged issues roiling the country. >> tucker: so why are we paying our taxes? quick question, let me wake you up from a dead sleep and say quit, why are we paying our taxes?hi >> if i were a taxpayer in seattle and you look at other cities in america, your businesses are trashed, you can't even board up the shattered roan business in minneapolis because you have to pay the taxes a year up front before they will let you put
9:42 pm
some plywood in the window. so i think there would be something to be said for a conscientious objector movement, at least against municipal and state taxes, until they get serious about this thing. but as i said, we all know these jobs or jokes. sometimes they are harmless jokes. michelle obama was getting 350 grand to be -- because her husband was considered useful to the people paying her and then when she went to washington to become first lady her job was so criticalhe to chicago the 350 grand job, nobody even replaced that. these jobs are a joke, are part of the reason we are a civilization in decline and as long as you're talking about street czars and 150 grand, you're not serious and you've got no contribution to make to the conversation. >> tucker: is exactly right. at the left is at war with nature. in the end they will lose that work, because nature always wins. in the meantime, they are breaking everything. >> absolutely. >> tucker: great to see a you,
