5:00 pm
>> martha: that is the story of thursday january 13 'th. good night, everyone. tucker carlson is coming up next. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." what happened at the capitol last wednesday was wrong. we said that very clearly at the time. we said it very clearly every day sense since and we will continue to say it. we are opposed to political violence. we hate mobs. no matter who they claim to represent, period. but that's not all we're against. we're also against lying, political propaganda is its own form of violence it. destroys people's minds. in the end it enslaves them. you can judge for yourself what happened last wednesday in washington. rarely has an event been filmed from more angles than that was.
5:01 pm
you know what that was and you also know what it wasn't. it was not an act of racism. it was not an insurrection. it wasn't armed invasion by a brigade of dangerous white supremacists. it wasn't. those are lies. why are they demanding that you believe those lies? you should wonder about that. when your doctor claims that your broken arm is stage fourbreak cancer you need a second opinion. when he demands that you get cheney, you need to run away. because something very dark is going on. and inteed something dark is going on right now. what happened last week in washington was not new or unusual. it was sadly familiar. the right you saw was the perfect illustration why we should oppose all mob action always. left uncontrolled, mobs boil over. violence erupts, people get killed. that is inevitable. that's what always happens. it has happened many times before. not just over the past year, but over the previous years and
5:02 pm
previous entries. in fact, all through human history. that's the way mobs are. wise leaders know that. that's why they don't encourage mobs. let's hope that everyone in washington has learned that lesson. but, of course, they haven't learned it. instead, they are trying to use this moment to increase their own power so they are lying about what you saw. they are calling it a precisely orchestrated coup attempt. they are telling you the chewbacca guy you saw on video the guy in the painted face and viking hat was the leader of super secret commando unit over to overthrow. yeah the man in the coon skin cap may have looked like he took a wrong turn packers game and wound up on the floor of the house of representatives. don't be deceived. this man is a mastermind in the ways of the espionage. the chewbacca guy was the fact the tip of the insurrection spear hide the children marshall the federal troops. how absurd and insulting all of
5:03 pm
this is. first of all, it's untrue. it's a lie. and yet it's working and that's why they are saying it. they are using what happened last week to justify the most sweeping crackdown on cill liberties and free speech in the history of this country. are you surprised they are doing that? you shouldn't be surprised. we lived through something similar this summer. we have seen the template for what they will do and what they plan to do. over memorial day a man died in police custody in minneapolis. there was dramatic video of that happening. people who saw it were upset. in the end, we learned that what we thought happened was not even close to what actually happened but by then it was too late. the usual frauds and demagogues have leveraged that moment to change this country forever. they used hysteria to subdue the population and to crush anyone who dared to ask questions about what they were doing. they tried hard to pull this show off the air for example. to this day, the same group maintains strict ideological
5:04 pm
orthodoxy through threats and fear. not through argument or reason but through coercion. here's an actual headline from the other day from the sports blog dead spin. quote fans relationship phillys other trade for black lives matter hater/batting practice pitcher sam coonrod. the article describes the sam coonrod as a maga guy and suggests that he is a racist. that sounds scary. here's what sam coonrod actually said. this was his crime, quote: i just can't get on board with a couple of things i have read about black lives matter how they lean toward marxism and they said some negative things about the nuclear family end quote. so sam coonrod isn't for marxism, sam coonrod likes the nuclear family so we better crush him. meanwhile, and this was the point all along, a small number of genuinely radical haters and nihilists have stepped into the void where our national conversation used to be and taken total control of the
5:05 pm
floor. they say things that virtually no one in this country actually agrees with, but since no one else is allowed to talk they have a mop be monopoly on what we do next. here's the dumbest and most as narcissist of all of them. jammerring on actually because of the death of indianapolis we need to get rid of the police. >> if so if you are an elected official for any reason is on this call, i'm asking you to ask yourself what are you willing to sacrifice to make sure that over funded police departments are defunded. will. >> tucker: suddenly, let us know if this sounds familiar, a convicted felon dying of a drug overdose was a national crisis as from any national crisis you have got to make some sacrifices. and guess what? every one of your sacrifices is going to make vacuous little totalitarians morons like sandy cortez more powerful that's how national crises work.
5:06 pm
something bad has happened therefore you have to hand the worst people in the world the keys to your life. see how that works? as if you needed more evidence that it's all about what's good for sandy cortez and her friends and not about what's good for you because nobody cares about that. watch her new position, her revised position on defunding the police. this is from the other day. >> many of us, um, nearly narrowly escaped death. there were members of capitol police, um, who were quite heroic, you know, we have many officers, um, and, you know, there was. [clearing throat] also black and brown officers that were confronting white supremacists and putting themselves not just to protect members but they put themselves in harm's way. >> tucker: narrowly escape death. one of the most harrowing thing in life is pass freshman
5:07 pm
sociology at boston university every day is a brand new drama. sandy's heart is still beating fast. she likes the cops now despite the fact that they are white supremacists. what a difference a day makes. and sandy cortez is not alone. congressman woman ayanna pressley of massachusetts has also for the moment changed her view of violent civil unrest. here she was just a few months allege. ago. >> hold them accountable. >> make the phone call, send the email. show up. you know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there is unrest in our lives. unfortunately there is plenty to go around. >> tucker: so there needs to be unrest in the streets, quote. actually, we don't need unrest ayanna pressley has concluded. up rest in the streets is now racist. watch. >> it was a harrowing experience. they were terrorizing members of congress and all who work in the
5:08 pm
capitol. feeling unsafe is not new and certainly being a black woman and feel up safe is not new. >> tucker: no, feeling unsafe is not new for ayanna pressley she felt particularly unsafe. particularly in peril as she attended the single most private school in chicago growing up and it it was even scarier when she arrived like her friend sandy cortez on the mean streets of boston university. so ayanna pressley know its well what it's like to be persecuted and oppressed and that friends, is why you should no longer be allowed to speak in republic or read the web sis you like or watch this show. just today the "new york times" published a column by nic kristof that made that entirely sensible point quote i would like to see pressure on advertisers to withdraw from fox news so long as it functions as extremist madrassa and cable providers should be asked why they distribute channels that peddle lies. you won't be surprised to learn that the rest of the media, our competitors strongly agree with that sentiment. the government needs to shut down fox news, people who watch fox news, meanwhile, that would
5:09 pm
be you, need to be, quote, deprogrammed. presumably in some kind of residential facility. reeducation camps, if you will. now we can't say specifically what the plan is, honestly we haven't thought a lot about it. msnbc though has thought a lot about it. >> there are millions of americans, almost all white, almost all republicans, who somehow need to be deprogrammed. it's as if they are members of a cult, the trumpist cult. and have to be deprogrammed. do you have any idea how we start that process? >> tucker: did you hear that? they are almost all white. do you have any idea how we start that process ask someone else on the set like it's a perfectly reasonable suggestion and not at all dangerously insane. it turns out that many democrats do in fact have some ideas on how to start the process. sandy cortez by the way has been thinking about this since
5:10 pm
sociology class at b.u. she has concluded we need a government commission to shut down media outlets that might criticize her. >> there is absolutely is a commission that's being discussed. several members of congress and some of my discussions have brought up media literacy because that is a part of what happened here. we're going to have to figure out how we rein in our media environment so you can't just spew disinformation and misinformation. >> tucker: you can't just spew disinformation like criticizing sandy cortez you can't do that in this country not like a free country with a first amendment. no, not anymore. this is all moving pretty fast. it always does move pretty fast. don't you worry, it's for your safety. up in canada the heritage minister just announced this week that that country will introduce new regulations to ban social media posts that are deemed hurtful or offensive. we want to protect canadians
5:11 pm
online the minister explained. of course they want to protect themselves, sorry, protect you by protecting themselves from criticism from you. see how that works? right. you're protected when you can't speak. i bet you didn't know that dorsey knows that. jack dorsey ceo of twitter he only looks like a pot head he actually is the ceo of twitter. jack torresy has the plans for the rest of us that will extend far beyond the trump era. silencing donald trump was just the beginning. guess who is next? you are. watch. >> we are focused on one account right now but this is going to be much bigger than just one account and it's going to go on for much longer than just this day, this week. i don't believe this is going away any time soon. and the moves we are making today around qanon for instance one such example of a much
5:12 pm
broader approach that we should be looking at and in going deeper. >> tucker: this is quote much bigger than silencing just one man and it's going to go on much longer than just this week. so maybe jack dorsey isn't so bright. he just admitted out loud what the rest of them are still denying. this isn't really about donald trump. it never was. it's definitely not about what happened last week at the capitol. it is about controlling you and the country you thought was yours forever. sorry, there is a national crisis going on and we have no choice. miranda devine a columnist for the "new york post" which itself was erased by silicon valley before last year's election. she has a post on what we are seeing. thanks so much for coming on. even if you approach this from the perspective we do, and i'm sure you do as well, it's awful. mob violence of any kind particularly against our capitol. i don't think i have ever seen a
5:13 pm
more cynical and sinister response to anything than what we are seeing right now. >> it really is incredible. and, you know, there is obviously method in the madness to try and exsag ger rate the threat to describe donald trump, you know, instead of just saying that what he did was wrong, you have to turn him into a complete monster, demonize him. is he a white supremacist and from there it's just a short step to call all his -- the people who voted for him, the 75 million americans and all their families they are white supremacist as well. and the reason for that is because once you've called them the worst thing that you could, you then are able to dehumanize them and you can inflict any cruelty you like on them within impunity because they are now nonpersons. they don't deserve to exist.
5:14 pm
you can destroy their lively hood, destroy their reputations, alienate them from society, and it doesn't matter because they are evil, white supremacists. >> tucker: you have got to wonder where our defenders? where are the people we spent money too over the last 40 years voted for. why don't they stand up for the rest of us. at some point we need to hold them accountable. the people saying that mob violence is wrong, anyone who is saying that is correct, in my view. but a lot of the people currently saying it were for mob violence like about 20 minutes ago or am i imagining that? >> it's such an incredible back flip. you saw house democrats on wednesday when they are voting to impeach donald trump again pointlessly and they are one after the other talking about how great the police are. you know, suddenly they are for police. suddenly they are for law and order. they are for civility.
5:15 pm
they are for american history. they revere the founding fathers. they are -- they now like borders. >> they like walls when it actually they protect their place of work. they now think that it's great. you need to bring the national guard in to quell civil unrest when it is their peace being kept. they like guns when it's their safety that's at stake. they have done an enormous back flip. and they seem to have zero self-awareness. they don't seem to realize that just not very long ago they were demonizing police as white supremacists and racist. now police are wonderful. and now mob violence, which they condoned and welcomed and spoke about as if it were some sacred duty now mob violence is evil and vile and it's a symbol of white supremacy. and they get away with it.
5:16 pm
that's what is so incredible. the double standards the hypocrisy, they just glide past it and the media allows them to because it's amplifying the double standards. >> tucker: sure, anyone who disagrees or calls them to account is silenced. that's why every day i wake up grateful that we work for a company that's not dependent on silicon valley to get its message to it viewers. i really mean that miranda devine, good to see you tonight. thank you. >> me too. thanks, tucker. >> tucker: this is an amazing story. one of the people who went to washington last week to watch the president's speech, not to break into the capitol. he didn't. was a musician called aerial pink. because pink attended that speech he can no longer make a living in this country. we're not overstating that at all. we spoke to him at some length just a minute ago. we have the interview for you after the break. it's pretty moving and pretty revealing. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪

♪ only in my dreams. >> tucker: ariel pink from los angeles and a trump voter. he attended the speech in washington and went back to his hotel room and take a nap. he did not go to the capitol he is opposed to violence. what he did was a crime. he attended a political rally and now he has been stripped of his livelihood. pink's music label mexican summer dropped him completely. they wrote this on twitter, quote: due to recent events mexican summer and it staff has decided to end our working relationship with ariel rosenberg akaariel pink moving forward. it's a movement that tells you a lot where it's going. we sat down with ariel pink a moment ago and had this conversation. so you are an artist. artists do transgressive things. you did the most transgressive thing came out a trump supporter and went to a rally.
5:23 pm
what happened next? >> i went to the white house to see our president. and went to the hotel, took a nap. end the story. >> tucker: when did you find out that your career had been destroyed? >> well, about two days later. by that point and my label had written me already sort of to inform me that they were getting a lot of heat and a lot of backlash for supporting me and they reassured me that they were not going to tropic me. >> tucker: they always reassure you first, don't they? >> you know, i was just like, you know, i didn't make any apologies. i was just -- i felt like i hadn't done anything. but these articles obviously placed me at the siege. >> tucker: yes. >> which i was not at. and of course i i don't advocate for violence. >> tucker: of course not. >> at all in any walk of life.
5:24 pm
>> tucker: i committed no violence while in washington. >> of course not. i was there for a peaceful rally. that's all it was to me. >> tucker: yes. >> but there was no fact-checking or anything like that. these 130 articles went out in the course of 24 hours and just the backlash was just -- they succumbed to cancel culture. >> tucker: what does your label say after reassuring you they weren't going to drop you, what happened then? >> then 24 hours later they wrote back saying that they texted me telling me that they were going to go public and drop me at that point. >> tucker: so if you are a recording artist, which you are, and you can't record, what does that mean? >> well, and i can't tour either at this point. so, it pretty much leaves me destitute and on the street. so, yeah, i don't know. i'm sort of overwhelmed right now and i don't know be exactly what to do. >> tucker: so for going to a political rally, not participating in violence.
5:25 pm
not seeing any violence. not being aware there was violence when you went to bed in your hotel, for that your career disappeared in one day? >> yeah. that's. >> tucker: your live live hood gone? >> yeah. no apologies, no support. i have had -- my family has been getting death threats. they don't even know that i'm here. i had to sneak away because they were so terrified of me coming on tv. they have been getting it all week. me too, the hate is just overwhelming. and new articles being written just, just people are so mean. >> tucker: you have lived in this country all your life. do you recognize it? >> not at all. not at all. i mean, i'm terrified. i mean, this is what i voted against. >> tucker: right. >> i didn't vote so much for trump as against cancel culture and this environment that's been blazing for about four years that is about to ramp up and get even worse. >> tucker: so i'm so struck by
5:26 pm
the fact that you are not a political person. did you not sign up for this. are you worried that it will destroy you as a person? >> no, i'm not so worried about that. i mean, i have been canceled before. i have been canceled many times. i know how the whole thing works. it doesn't really affect my ego. >> tucker: yes. >> which isn't to say it doesn't hurt my feelings. it does. >> tucker: yeah. >> but i know that it's not real. so i just, you know, i have got family. i have got a small group around me that sort of keeps me centered and i also believe in myself. i know i didn't do anything wrong. so there is no reason why i should feel remorseful about this. >> tucker: amen. so you know how unreasonable and scary and punitive a moment this is. you are taking a huge risk coming on this show. why are you doing it? >> i don't have any other
5:27 pm
recourse like what am i going to do? am i going to be able to get my statement out in magazines? i mean, who is -- right now the narrative is being pushed and there are not very many people that are going to let a counter narrative enter into the fold. i mean, there is no nuance. there is no kind of -- i don't know what -- i don't know, man. i don't know what i'm going to do. >> tucker: you had no choice, basically, if you want to tell your story. >> i had no choice. i had no choice. there is nothing else for me to do. i can't even afford my lawyer right now. >> tucker: last question. what do you think the purpose of all of this is? >> well, i think it's desperation and fear that is driving this whole thing. i think -- i think there has
5:28 pm
been a very big effort to unseat the president or at least not let him have four more years which i think is fair. he lost. and i think he lost fairly. i'm not disputing anything. biden is perfectly fine with me as president. but i think that there was just no -- i think they are still scared and sore winners at this point. people seem to want to kick me down as well. much like they have trump. kick us down when we are down. you know, i believe are -- i don't even know what -- i don't know what the future is with regards to the trump, but i think, you know, -- i don't know. i don't want to comment on that. >> tucker: they are sore winners? >> they are sore winners, yeah. >> tucker: good luck. when reasonable people like you are destroyed, all of us should
5:29 pm
take notice, so i appreciate your telling your story. thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: so the life of a guy who did nothing wrong is just crushed. just let's crush this guy because he said something we don't like. we have no connection article a. it's awful. decent people should stand up and say so and should fix it no one is because they are cowards. happened everywhere. happened to social media company parler. that was a massive effort bigger than just amazon and apple and google. we will tell you who is involved because you should know their names. when this is all over they should be held to account for what they have done not just to parler but to our national life, our intellectual life, our country. plus, there has been a major escalation in the government's war on the atilis gym in new jersey speaking of the strong hurting the weak. the gym owner will tell us what is happening to him straight ahead.
5:30 pm
5:35 pm
♪ >> tucker: destroying the social media app. parler and ripping it off the internet was a team effort. it took more than simply amazon apple and google. a chief policy officer joins us to tell which other companies were involved in this historic attack on free speech and our civil liberties because you should know their names. amy, it's great to see you tonight. thank you for coming on. i'm sorry parler is still not up, as i'm sure our viewers know. tell us if you would, because we want to know who they are, who participated in this attack on the first amendment and on your company? >> hi, tucker, thanks. so other companies that were involved were thrillio who dropped us. we are also having issues with acapta using any sort of acapta
5:36 pm
our program flurry dropped us. there is also people that you weren't really aware of unless you were into the tech the people who actually connect you to the internet and provide nodes and the hosts who domain hosts, et cetera. those are the people on the tech side that i'm not as aware of. there are a number of people involved. and whether they are all working together or whether they are all just caving in to the same cancel culture pressure. obviously at parler we do think that we were singled out unfairly because this content that nobody wants on anywhere on their platforms, this inciting content that is wrong, was unfortunately everywhere as you have read in stories this week from "the washington post and elsewhere. >> tucker: i assume most of them are just greedy solace little robots who will do whatever it takes to continue to loot the country. it's not like they have ideological agenda. >> whether they have an agenda or not, here is one of the things that i think is going on at least with the bigger tech companies, you know, people have
5:37 pm
been talking about collusion is there collusion involved? but what if the truth is actually a lot worse and that parler is just the latest casualty in a sort of it bargain that big tech has made with status government and by this i mean that big tech has made itself dependent on immunity with respect to its two major prongs for monetization that it depends on. so one of them is this content moderation removing pieces of content. they have immunity for that under section 230, and that also includes the curation of feeds and algorithms that they use to engagement. they are all just immune from scrutiny and liability. and then the second, of course, is the data pillaging as we like to call it at parler we don't believe that you should be making money by monetizing personal data of people and both
5:38 pm
of those things have become part of this bar began. i don't know if you saw the "wall street journal" piece it was big tech vs. the constitution. save the constitution from big tech and they talked about the fact that immunity of 230 when combined with the pressure from people in congress telling facebook and telling twitter that they need to remove more hate speech and do more about misinformation this is in effect censorship by proxy. and then with respect to at a time that, if you look at the consent decree between the united states and facebook, the ftc and facebook from last year, you could see facebook was allowed to continue its data mining practices that help monetize it and then at the same time maybe the ftc and doj can get back doors into data under the terms of that consent decree. this is a very cozy relationship that i think is very disturbing. parler's model doesn't depend on either of those things.
5:39 pm
>> tucker: cozy doesn't even describe it. >> it's scary. it's really scary. >> tucker: apple helped write our current imforeign relation law. of some of the liberal children in the current white house considered giving the presidential medal of freedom to tim cooke of apple. who hates the white house and the country. >> i was going to tell you that with respect to this particular fight, i see apple as an ally. i don't know be if you saw that tim cooke has said that parler could come back on to the app. store after we improve our content moderation. so. >> tucker: thank you tim cook. i'm glad. well hopefully he will wake up in a good mod tomorrow and grant us that favor? who made these people god anyway? what world is this? where tim cook gets to decide. >> at least they stand for privacy, tucker. at least they stand for privacy. >> tucker: well, amy, i appreciate your coming on tonight. thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: well, the governor of new jersey is very determined to
5:40 pm
crack town on crime. not murders and rapes but anyone who criticizes the governor of new jersey on fox news. and that would include the people who run the atilis gym. the owners of that gym have refused to stay closed this year. in november we spoke to the owner ian smith. >> so frank and i are currently being fined personally. governor murphy has attempted to pierce the llc. he has fined us $15,497.76 per day. >> tucker: per day? >> per day, yes. >> tucker: well the atilis gym has not paid those fines but the state didn't wait around to litigate adjudicate. they just took $170,000 from the gym's bank account because they can do that because they're the state. they don't have to ask permission. we asked the state of new jersey about this. they gave us this statement quote the state previously obtained a judgment from the court in the amount of
5:41 pm
$134,463.08 which the state intends to collect. apparently the funds were a reference -- new reference were frozen as a result of bank live having been issued due to the state's collection efforts part of the enforcement of the judicial order. keep in mind that all sounds very legal. if you stop paying your rent how long does it take you to get evicted from your apartment probably in new jersey a year or two? this happened like that. they targeted these people ian smith is one of them. he is the owner of the gym. he joins us tonight. ian, thank you for coming on. i'm sorry about this. >> thank you for having me tucker. >> tucker: has the murder rate dramatically declined in camden? the state is focusing a awful lot of resource was. >> i think it's higher actually. >> tucker: i'm sorry. i will stop ranting. tell us what the state of affairs is tonight. >> so, as of yesterday morning, my partner and i checked the bank statement in the morning and we had no money in our bank account. the state emptied out every single dollar that we have. this is in the middle of an
5:42 pm
appeals process and ongoing litigation in the matter of the fines and several other matters regarding the state including a lawsuit against governor murphy and judith% kelly herself. as simple ascii put it this is an interference to our right to counsel. this money in our bank account does not come from memberships. we have not charged our members since april 1st since we originally shut down. this is donations and t-shirt sales that we have used to pay our bills and fights our legal battles it. is a clear and it is a blatant violation of our constitutional rights and our abilities to defend ourselves in the court of law. >> tucker: how long do you think they will allow crypto currency to exist? i'm sorry, just a thought. probably not too long. they can't seize it from you. >> no. they can't. and that's actually one of the most frequent recommendations for people who want to at this point to tone nate is to set up a crypto account. >> tucker: yeah, while you still can. so, now that they have taken all your money and you can't afford
5:43 pm
legal defense, what's your path forward? >> we will be fundraising. we put out a video last night explaining the problems that we are facing and we put out a call to help to the many people who have supported us from the beginning and the many penal who have learned about our story along the way. and we have got 450 t-shirt orders to fill and a lot of depositions coming in. so, from now on, we are going to pull all of our money out and go at it in cash and write checks as we go. there will be no money in our bank accounts. we will continue to fight this no matter what. >> tucker: i just want to very quickly remind our viewers of two things. you haven't spread covid to anybody. i'm reminding the golden sak's guy who runs your state you are being punished for trying to keep people healthy and trim in the middle of a pandemic that kills people who are overweight and out of shape. doing more than he has to save people's lives and of course you are being destroyed for it. ian smith, thank you.

and what cnn told us, this guy was not. we were lied to not just by the media but by the government and should figure out why we were lied to and if there were more people like john sullivan in the capitol. we don't know if there were. let's find out. why not? we got it a pretty revealing email recentfully a kid called elliott morris. it was a copy of something he sent to his teachers the day of a last week's riot at the capitol. elliott morris 16 years old a sophomore at duck berry high school in massachusetts. we want to read to you some of what he wrote dear mr. donovan and mr. kutcher that the toe as the world was shocked by the unprecedented events in 20021 these events should be condemned and wake-up call as to our country to unify and bind together. as i hit hit on zoom listening to each teacher speak about these issues i feel more and more isolated from our community at duxbury high school a view that may not be popular in today's day and age i feel there

could be a more effective and better way to talk about what happened yesterday in a way that makes people like me feel more welcome. the first amendment gives me as well as every american the right to freedom of speech. everyone is entitled to say what they believe. it's inappropriate for teachers to impose their views on their students. i have now sat through four different classes and in three out of four have spoken about the issue of what happened yesterday. the negativity toward our 45th president and the events even those people that are americans like you and me made me realize just how divided our country is. being on opposite sides of the spectrum in never crossed my mind until i went into a.p. government to speak about the election and the protest. this topic is very tough to speak about and has many different sides. that being said neither side is right and neither side should take all the blame the one thing i do know for sure is that we are weaker, divided. teachers seem to lead toward condemning conservatives and praising democrats in all different fields and for that reason i feel isolated from our

community. and enraged that my opinion is viewed as wrong by some students and by some teachers. i am writing this email so my fellow classmates can live in harmony and so that i do not raise my children in a society that is this divided. i wish that all opinions could be heard to their full extent whether people agree or disagree. it doesn't matter what race, religion, sexuality or political belief you come from, a school should be a safe haven for everyone to feel welcome. as of right now i feel others' beliefs are being imposed on me. i'm the eldest of four boys and my youngers look up to me. my brother was in first grade i noticed a drawing in his folder. i pulled out this drawing and heart broken my brother had drew a picture of president trump and said trump should not build the wall. my 7-year-old brother knows nothing about politics. he knows nothing about the real world. he was being manipulated to belief something he should never even have known about.
