2:00 pm
tonight. ♪ ♪ good evening and welcome. happy. a lot going on in this country i right now but the single biggest mystery. why democrat became vicious after joe biden at the white house, his party took congress, you'd think that's what they wanted, if youhe think they woud celebrate click no, they said they started a purge. democrats began crushing even the mildest consent. they shut down mediapapa company called parler because they hadtr
2:01 pm
done anything wrong c but simply because they couldn't control it. they couldn't take the chance that somebody might criticize them so they eliminated them.m. then the arrest of the man, brought him up on federal charges because he made fun of hillary clinton on parler. he's facing ten years in prison. the rival political party, an actual one with soldiers and para- middle military law enforcement. they denounce republicans even with moderate establishment figures with no conceivable threat to anyone. they didn't defend the dangerous terrorist, likened them to isis and al qaeda and anyone who complained will fall back in any way was threatened with expulsion in congress. it doesn't matter what voters decide in november. in the main democracy, you can serve in congress. your distance permitted in the federal bureaucracy. no one disagrees in the beliefs can you work in the u.s.
2:02 pm
government. you saw it. nothing like that has ever taken place in this country before. it's the most sweeping assault on civil liberties in american history. what accounts for this? why are they doing this? it's worth figuring out. the most basicic level of power grab, the democratic party doesn't exist to serve abstract principle, liberty or justice or the bill of rights, no. nor is its primary goal improving lives of its voters if you've been to detroit, you know that's true. no, the democratic party exists to accumulate power. some is never enough. the impulse is to control everything so that's what they are trying to do now. but that is not all that's going on right now look around. watch as democrats erect a prison fence around the u.s. capital.
2:03 pm
why is the fence that? to protect the people inside, to keep the public out of what we used to call the people's house. it's happening tonight as we speak. there's thousands of armed soldiers and law enforcement agents stationed outside the fence. what is their purpose? again, protecting the people inside. then ask, why are house democrats planning federal committee fund to pay for more personal security for themselves? why the renewed peace for law-abiding americans who committed no crimes. why does alexandria ocasio-cortez seemed on the verge of tears as she described how she was almost murdered january 6 at the capital x she's not entirely putting it on, she seems to mean it. if you sense a theme here, there is. the theme is panic. fear and it's real. you're looking at leaders who are genuinely afraid of the people they are supposed to be leading. here is the really interesting thing. they seem much more afraid now that donald trump has left office.
2:04 pm
with donald h trump on, they set a period of actual populism has begun and they may be right. look what happened this week on wall street. trading stocks, exposing entire american finance establishment of the craft and fraud scam that often it is. it's a pivotal moment in this country. once you see something like that, you can't un- see it.an once they pulled the mask from your face, he still remembers your face people's attitudes will change forever because ofec what happened, it is a big deal. the biden administration's response? their first impulse was to brag about the first female treasury secretary, that's what they said. that's not an adequate response to what happened and even the biden people know it. but that's all they had. the truth is, our leaders have
2:05 pm
answers, don't even have explanations for what's going on. even worse, they are deeply implicated in the systemic problems. they know all this, they know their guilt. they know that you know it, to that's why they are afraid. they know why populism is rising. and it is this really is the time to make the decision how to respond. what our leaders do next will define what america looks like going forward. it wouldn't be hard to begin the process of fixing things and bring unity to a country that be badly needed. the first step is always the same. leaders and to into a power-sharing agreement with the people. they do thehe obvious, stop lyig to the, citizens. they stop attacking them and respect their culture. they don't try to control people's beliefs. they treat their own citizens like adults, they treat them fairly. they cut the publicre in on the
2:06 pm
fruits of the country's success. all the benefits of our economy seem tos accrue a small numberf people, that's a problem and they try to fix it. wise leaders know on equal countries are volatile. the systems are not compatible with democracy. our leaders don't seem to know that. they tell us solar cars and mandatory diversity training the real solutions to our problems but no one buys it. they are not real solutions, they are a diversion tactic. populism starts when people start to figure that out and they have and that's why everything suddenly feels so unstable right now because once again, real populism is brewing. in the face of all of that, the people in charge are doing these single stupidest most counterproductive think that any leader can do in the face of populism refusing to admit their role in the decline, refused to
2:07 pm
admit failures and instead, blaming the people they have taken on. they are declaring war on their own population. if you think we are overstating, we are not. as a former cia director describing the enemy. >> domestic violence is much more challenging, i believe that it was inis terms of going after tourists. domestic violence is much more pervasive, numbers are much larger, going after al qaeda ort other terrorist groups in the u.s., the numbers were in the single digits of dozens and finding needles in a haystack. here, there are a lot of haystacks with a lot of needles. weapons ify have the they so choose to use them, they can carry out these deadly attacks. >> so many problems inn this country. if anyone is paying attention, the former cia director is
2:08 pm
isolated the real problem, you. anyone who disagrees susan rice is worse than osama bin ladenma and more dangerous. these people, meaning you, have the weapon. by terrorist, tens of millions of americans citizens who might have a firearm at home and didn't vote for joe biden, they are at the front and we need to hunt them as we hunt al qaeda. you saw the clip, that's what he said. it's hard to imagine a leader saying something more destructive and reckless than that on television in a moment more fraught than the one we are in. it terrifying. this isn't fire in a crowded theater, it's a flamethrower in a crowded theater. it's not going to make anyone more moderate, that's for certain. the opposite. john brennan is creating more
2:09 pm
and it's not just him all the news channels, other than this one right now are repeating this, the american government is at war with its own population. here is cnn. >> my college colleague, national terrorism for 20 years and says it parallels to the radomestic terror that are fighting and points to radicalization online, demonization have the enemy to justify violence, draw to a cause greater than himself, devotion to a cult leader. that said, are we doing enough to combat this threat? >> this is the way law enforcement looks at it. equal or greater and national terrorism. we compared it to a u.s. politician, propagating islamist terrorist, materials, lies. imagine the reaction and get sadly, there's still partisan
2:10 pm
reaction. some denying threat is real and the lie is dangerous. tucker: american citizens are more dangerous than foreign terrorists. people say fox is so extreme. no show on this channel was ever put this on the air ever. if and when did, people resign in protest because it's untrue and completely reckless. for once, we won't even mock him for being a mouth breather. the problem is much bigger, not funny. they told viewers that millions of american citizens are terrorists. that's a lie. it's just not true. you will find the home and security camping up domestic threats in thend past week, gret cost to people's sanity. dhs has no actual evidence thatt trump voters are planning to hurt anyone. no evidence of a plotnc of any kind.
2:11 pm
trust us, they would tell you if they found a plot. the question you have to ask yourself, what kind of affect do lies like that, the one you just heard calculated to terrify you, what effect do they have on the country? especially over time when you tell people they are evil because of how they vote t look and leaders are definitely telling them that everyday, when you train a population to tally every group of americans, keep track of people's genetic background every time you see as picture, really? what effect does that have when you promote group identity even as you intentionally destroy national identity? if you do all that, what kind of country do you? get at the end? you get a scary divided country. you need steel fencing outside the national just like you. it's obvious for all of this, where it's going and it's very that. part of the solution is to stop
2:12 pm
talking like this immediately. no more aging spies and cable news declaring war on american citizens, domestic enemies more dangerous than al qaeda. powermad members of congress dividing people by race so they can convert. white supremacy, white, those are racial attacks. stop lying. we shouldn't talk that way in public. those attacks are making people crazy and over time, possibly making people dangerous. forro real. watch this clip and ask yourself, what kind of affect this woman is having on the united states right now. >> there are legitimate white supremacists that sit at the heart and core of the republican caucus in the house of representatives. there's no consequences for racism, no consequences for insurrection.
2:13 pm
no consequences means they condone it. we are now away from acting to the president, that they had in the oval office. now we are talking about white supremacists organizations as a political tool. tucker: let's be honest for a second, that woman is a tool of corporate power posing as a truth teller. look at her campaign contributions. supporting her campaign? people who want to change the subject from economics to identity politics. that whole post is fraudulent in her case but listen specifically to what she says think about the people listening. white supremacists organizations as a political tool. what does that even mean? we are not sure who she is even talking about. the republican party and kevin mccarthy of california.
2:14 pm
that's not true but it's worse than that. this is a fantasy, a dark fantasy designed to terrify people and make them easier to command. over time, probably not long now, it will have other more insidious effects. talk like that from elected officials to turn some of our citizens for a radical. you don't want to live in a country with very radical people so to be clear, whatever you hear about fox news being radical, we want to live in a country that looks like i don't know, 2005 where race is not the most important thing about you, you have a chance to get ahead by playing by the rules. that's called moderate, democracy. that's the republic we want d. talk like this is an enemy of the country we want listen. whitlock, a journalist. we areod happy to have him on.
2:15 pm
jason, i appreciate you coming on. you have this weird confluence of events where populism is rising as people decide the system is corrupt and it disenfranchises me. at the same time, you have the people benefiting from the system refusing to acknowledge that and attacking the people who are mad i'm not sure where that goes. >> tucker, great monologue. my reaction, a little different than you might expect. they are using race and identity politics as a distraction from the real agenda. aoc andnd others don't believe n the founding principles of this country. they don't believe in the declaration of independence or the constitution. they don't believe in proclamation. they don't believe in what we accomplished in the civil rights movement under the leadership of martin luther king. they are the ones trying to take
2:16 pm
this country, a very dangerous direction, distracting everybody with claims of racism while they try to usher in socialism, marxism and make this countryy very secular. that's what's going on. those of us who are believers, those of us who believe in the principles we were founded upon, i'm sorry if it upset people, this was founded in christianity. christianity led to a lot of progress. it ended slavery, it ended jim crow and brought freedom to all americans, laws that protected all of our a freedoms. they are trying to undo all of that and distracting us with talks of race and anybody who is a believer and believes in our founding supposed, america was pretty good in the christian society. they are trying to silence us,
2:17 pm
calling white people racists and black people who believes in those things silent and make all of us who believe in our founding principles, we are thee bad guys, don't listen to them, they are racist sellouts, they don't believe in this new america we are breathing in. b this global society we are bringing in is going to make everything better. it's not going to make everything better. we are already in the evidence, it makes us worse. it has us at the brink of destabilization. tucker: i think that's right. different invasion is very simple most religious people are universalist, every person is equal before god because we were all created by god so we are all of equal value. they are selling something very different in my view and much darker than t that. >> they are selling something secular, a godless country. i know joe biden is a practicing
2:18 pm
catholic but based on the actions in theca people being in power, based on the way they are trying to demonize 75 million trump supporters and voters, the way we are trying to demonize them is unfair, inaccurate. those people have a voice inou this country, well earned voice in this country. they can't all be reduced to i have impure thoughts. everybody that's walked this planet, except one person in my opinion, jesus christ, has had impure thoughts. has been a sinner. thomas jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, certainly a senior. martin luther king, certainly a sinner, impure thoughts. i'm sorry this fantasy world where liberals and democrats are these perfect people and everybody else is evil and racist and a sellout.
2:19 pm
this is fantasyland. they are not jesus christ. i'm sorry. it's driving a lot of people crazy but including me. i am so concerned about this country and about thehe people being silenced. if those of us who are believers, if we don't put our differences aside and come together and band together and stand on the truth that we know, the country is going to fall. tucker: i believe that completely. thank you. we are trying to keep track, give you some outline of the crackdown on civil liberties now underway. individual parts. a literary agency in the city recently fired, not because of what she said online but because she maintained account on parler speech alternatives to corporate
2:20 pm
social media. the employees name is colleen and she joins us tonight. i appreciate you coming on i wanted to talk to you just to make sure i got this right, you were fired not because you said something outrageous or immoral but because s you used specific social media platforms? >> thank you so much for having me tonight and for all your hard work. you hit the nail in the head in your monologue but you are correct. that's what i was fired for. i created a profile on parler and gab.le i posted the same exact content on twitter as i posted on those social media platforms and that's what i got fired for. tucker: what i am struck by his you've worked for a literary agency and the basis of literature is freethinking. you would think a literary agency would be the last line of
2:21 pm
defense against this. what did your boss say to you? >> actually, it was an e-mail -- [laughter] i had created a profile on parler and gab and because of what they called my political activities, they had to take swift action. tucker: since you worked in the literary world, what you think the future of literature and art is in a country where people can be fired for using the wrong social media platform? >> it'sm chilling. it used to be that being silent was safe on twitter in american publishing but i feel like this signaled to those in american publishing that it's okay to get rid of people who aren't moderate or who are moderate,
2:22 pm
large publicly left of center. they want people left of center. obviously if you are outwardly conservative, yes. you are vilified and silenced but being silent used to mean you would be safe from those actions. now you have to beio. public one left. otherwise, you are out. tucker: a shocking story. i'll save this tape for when we emerge from this. i hope it's soon. thank you for joining us. if you are wondering why art has died in this country, the whole span for visual arts all the way toal comedy, nothing beautiful s being created right now. that's why. nothing grows in an environment like this. since the pandemic, getting rich, very, very rich would be

a way of accelerating the progress in this one certainly is. new analysis shows billionaires in this country increase their wealth by nearly 40% of the coronavirus pandemic came here. the trend was upended briefly this week when an army of amateur day traders drove up thf stock of game stop, a videogame retail much of hedge fund shorted. the hedge fund lost billions and when they did, brokerage houses jump to the rescueum by shutting cudown purchases of game stop shares. everyone saw it happen and many were appalled by it. >> this is a much larger issue and the threat of our country and its fragility and what's
2:29 pm
happening in inequality andan hypocrisy of the political leaders who say you can't open your business and run your business and make a living during the pandemic. will stop past the stimulus bill in time and now you can't trade. what the next thing they will control and say you can't do? tucker: one of the twins who came up with the idea for facebook. what can you do in the face of this? one thing, read negative reviews for the brokerages that stopped trading, changing the rules. but you can'tr because google s on their't side. google removed more than 100,000 negative reviews for the brokerage robin hood which changed all the rules. so you're not allowed to complain, says google. if you are a 22-year-old best buy employee trading game stock stock, you are a bad person. >> i look at the evolution of
2:30 pm
this paradigm of games ship and going online and using social media to make money as a game then became refilled. there's a jealousy, and anger and frustration and the size of theys crowd encompasses that aspect. don't get me wrong, there's struggles to keep the market but has anger behind it and behavior of the mob in many ways reminds me of what we saw at the capital. [laughter] tucker: the people on reddit agree. [laughter] biotech entrepreneur and author of the forthcoming book, welcome. thank you for coming on. i am sincerely worried about the way our leaders are handling this. the rest of us learn wall street
2:31 pm
has corrupted every other institution and notot acknowledging that and attacking the people who benefited for the first time. what is the take away from this? >> this is the spotlight on the woke industrial complex as we know it. we saw it with silicon valley. it's google and apple app store is taking entire applications like parler off their app stores. what are they going to do next? i was waiting for them, sensor racist e-mails from affect coming soon. now banning stock trades because wall street is getting ons, the same app as silicon valley but the worst part is a lot of people lost a lot of this week they whitewashed the whole thing with this woke whitewashed claiming it was hate speech, facebook claiming its adult sexual exploitation and its increasingly farcical, consumers enter for what is institutional lying at its worst.
2:32 pm
tucker: but you can't keep cracking down like this forever before people go crazy and the system explodes. don't they understand that? have to admit i'm wrong, i'm corrupt or whatever but youe can't just turn it back on the people who expose corruption, can you? >> it's not sustainable. told just wait. what district 2.0 version is much more tricky in 2020. dress it up with progressive values, do good woke smokescreens and then to trick liberals into adulation. you trick them because of their love of woke causes. go to the can services they've been taught to memorize the line this is the free market can do no wrong but it's actually not a free market so it is divisive, divide and conquer.me leaving democracy and damaged in it.. tucker: you are so right. they are defending corporations that hate them.
