i don't think it will pass the senate. >> brian: he is ari fleischer. thanks so much, ari, i appreciate you closing the show with me. >> thank you, walter. >> brian: you have been watching "fox news primetime." i'm brian kilmeade. listen to the radio show tomorrow 9 to noon and back here tomorrow night at 7:00. tucker carlson is now. >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." a horrible story from the state of colorado. yesterday after lunch a man walked into a grocery store in boulder and shot 10 people to death. one of the slain was a police officer called eric tally. he had seven children. the younger was 5 years old. your heart breaks for his family. police responded quickly to the massacre and arrested a 21-year-old suspect. watch how cnn described the scene. >> we know that the suspect is in custody. he was injured. they have not released any details about who he was. but we did see footage of a

white man. he was wearing shorts. no shoes, no shirt. he seemed to be bleeding down his leg and he was handcuffed. >> tucker: in other words, cnn told you we don't really know anything about what just happened. we do think a, quote, white man did it. that was cnn's first observation. what they cared about most was the gunman's race. to cnn that was the all-important thing. not the 10 lying dead or the grieving children they left behind, no. the shooter's skin color. so this is what wokeness is. this is how you see the world when you have been so corrupted by ideological mania that you consider even a mass shooting a perfect opportunity to push your race-based political agenda. he was a white man, that's all you needed to know. then we learned the suspect's name he is ahmad alli buy alissa. and that fact raised an immediate problem for the race mongers. does ahmad alissa qualify as a white man? now, honestly, you may be wondering who cares? he just shot 10 people? that's the only fact that

matters. for what it's worth ahmad alissa looked pretty pale too. to the politicized racial classification his race is the only thing that mattered. they decided that people called ahmad alli buy alissa cannot be white men no matter what they look leak. people with names like that are oppressed therefore they are not white. now, that's insanity. but it's where we are right now. it's where they have taken us. so, of course, once we learned his name the entire story line, excuse me, had to be rewritten immediately. amy is a former finance ghoul who now sends angry tweets for a living. highly popular in the progressive community online. sis kind's first assessment of the crime was this almost certainly a white man, again, if he were black or brown, he would be dead. that was amy siskind's hot take

and lots of people agreed with her. then the shooter identity emerged and siskind had to change her view immediately. please don't mention his name siskind instructed her followers we wouldn't want to glorify the killer with his name widely known. pretty amazing to watch this happen in realtime. the great thing about twitter, despite all the downside is you get to see how the lies were manufactured. kamala harris' niece, someone called mena harris white men she wrote are the greatest terrorist threat to our country. police released it was a guy called ahmad. mee. in a harris correct his or herself. she had assumed that alissa was white, she wrote, based on his being taken into custody alive and the fact that the majority mass shootings in the u.s. are carried out by white men. so, ahmad alissa, if you are following along wasn't white but white men are still bad.

got it? you may not have even noticed because you hear things like this every single kay. you hear them constantly. if you step back, have you got to wonder how long the rich and powerful people like amy kiss suspects kind and mena hairs and countless others can continue attacking a single racial group before our country breaks apart. we may find out in the end because no one seems to be stopping them. no one even mentions it. to those who are interested in the tragedy of yesterday, the question remains who was this ahmad aliwi alissa. here is what we know apparently immigrant from syria came here as a child. he is now a naturalized citizen. he is political but not like lay qanon. not a right winger social media posts seem to track pretty inconsistently with cnn's prime time editorial views. a former classmate told the denver most that he saw himself as oppressed victim of racism. in high school he would, quote, talk about being muslim and how if anyone tried anything he would file a hate crime. three years ago he was charged with violently assaulting a

classmate. according to one report this afternoon alissa's name was, quote, previously known to the fbi based on ongoing investigation into one of his associates. then the a.p. reported that alissa may have been delusional. or of course he was delusional, he apparently shot 10 people. as of right now, that's pretty much all we know. there aren't that many facts. but that did not prevent the usual tragedy buzzards from circling the crime scene and speculating the most destructive possible ways about what might have happened. here, for example, is yet another retired left wing federal agent yapping away on msnbc how actually this was an act of racism modeled on misog parlor shootings last week in atlanta? >> is this just a guy copycatting the hate crime, the vicious hate climb atlanta and it is a hate crime by the way and we should be all saying it publicly whether or not the prosecutors, you know, charge it. >> tucker: so that was former

atf special agent in charge jim kavanaugh ladies and gentlemen, agent kavanaugh has literally no idea what he is talking about. no clue whatsoever. is he making all of it up. but msnbc put him on television anyway. now, we work in tv so we can confirm that that is shockingly reckless behavior. the other channels don't care though. they do it all the time. congresswoman ilhan omar of minneapolis specializes in shocking recklessness. that's what she does. after the mass killings in atlanta last week, none of which seemed to have anything whatsoever to do with the race of anyone involved, omar tried her best to make americans hate each other even more. that's how she is repaying the country that rescued her from a refugee camp in africa. law enforcement, omar said, with zero evidence of any kind works to protect, quote: the humanity of white mass murderer he is. what does that even mean? we have no idea though obviously it is bristling with racial hostility so msnbc just rolled with it. >> scapegoat is the evil cousin

of white supremacy and together they reinforce the notion that white is always in the right. the indifference to lives not white must stop. the disregard for the fear of white terror must stop. we must not be count by the terror unleashed by white men drowning in the teach end of racism, xenophobia and misogyny. >> tucker: yeah that's good for the country. white supremacy, that's the culprit, no matter what the color the criminal was. it doesn't matter the criminal's color because it's systemic racism and like carbon monoxide, it's an invisible poison. that is suddenly a very common view on the left. it's certainly barack obama's position. more than any other contemporary american leader, barack obama is a racial arsonist. he emerges at our most vulnerable moments to deepen the wounds that divide us. he sows hate. why would barack obama do this? it would take a psychiatrist to answer that question fully deep

loathing of some kind plays a role it must play a role. today obama took a break from becoming one of the richest people in the world my a subject any for today's killing. a guy who appears to be white shoots a group of white people and barack obama calls it racism. how exactly does that work? can you speak slowly and tell us? well, the former president didn't. he didn't indicate but he didn't need to. barack obama had managed to divide americans a little more than they were yesterday and so from his perspective, mission accomplished. ♪ independent journalist who has been watching all of this now. thanks so much for coming on. i'm struck once again for the second time in two weeks by the instant impulse among people in the media and the democratic party to racialize a crime that has no obvious racial component and to divide the country on the basis of that lie. what do you think is going on here? >> look, tucker, unfortunately, so much of our politics today resembles what you might see in a country like lebanon during its civil war what you might see

in india or israel today where have you leaders in the top deploying sectarian rhetoric pitting race vs. race talking about people ethnic ground tribes and it all our problems flow from that we know that the shooting last week was not bhot vacated by racial hatred. the shooting this week didn't appear to have any racial motivation either. people ready almost willing these events into place to foment a certain kind of political agenda. does it mean anything that that it was a white guy who did the shooting in atlanta? does it mean anything that it was an arab american who did the shooting in colorado? i don't think it means anything. a commentary on the character and derangement of those particular individuals, right? we can't confuse the acts of individuals with acts of entire groups. i think increasingly, media figures and politicians are doing that because they know that there is a deep part of human psychology that wants to divide the world into us vs. them. these politicians, these media figures can tell people that we

will protect us and we will help you fight them, right? and if they are dividing people across racial lines that foment racial polarization and ginn up viewers and media and ginn up votes for politicians. we have to reject that kind of mentality nobody really wins when people are thinking that all white people are criminals or white people thinking that all arabs or. the criminals are the criminals. 9% of people would never do anything like this. yet our politicians continue to hit this button because they know it's a good button to press. it hits a lot of those core human psychological features that i think makes us instincts nally think we should blame some kind of massive group for theres of the sins of a few people. >> tucker: that's exactly right. this guy apparently there is a lot we don't know, but this guy apparently was a left wing muslim. i'm on the opposite side. so, but if i wrote a script saying this is the problem with left wing muslims i would stop

and say, you know, that's really not good for the country to generalize like that. i have to live here, my kids have to live here. what do they think the end game is talking like that seriously? how does this wind up do you think? >> if anyone out there listening or watching has an iphone, they have a product that came from the son of a syrian immigrant steve jobs, right? so obviously, obviously all syrian immigrants are nothing like this guy. i think the vast majority are nothing like this guy. there are deranged people in every single group. the reason i think why so many media outlet and political organizations and politicians keep hitting these racial buttons is because they know that it is speaking to a feature of human psychology that wants to divide the world into us vs. them, right? it's a dangerous game to play because of the kind of game that can create extremism. make people different racial groups. quote unquote racial groups. they are not real. it makes them hate each other and divide from each other and difficult to form friendships and relationships and ultimately create the peace we all want. >> tucker: barack obama is

creating real extremism. we will see real extremism. i say it once a week it's true and really sad and they are doing it. i hate it. i appreciate your coming on tonight. thank you. so, 10 people dead. that seemed like a good pretext to get something you have been call for for a long time if you are a washington democrat and of course they wasted no time in using the murders yesterday to begin the latest attempt at disarming you. you didn't commit a crime but they want you to suffer for what happened yesterday in boulder. watch. >> it's a sad reminder, covid is not the only epidemic in our country. we have to confront the devastating, unrelenting epidemic of gun violence that steals thousands of innocent lives across this country. i have already committed to bringing universal background checks legislation to the floor of the senate. >> for years democrats have pushed for action to stop this killing with common sense reform that will save lives. now we can act and we will. >> this hearing, i hope, will

open a conversation about constitutional common sense ways to reduce gun violence in america. >> inaction has made this horror completely predictable. inaction by this congress makes us complicit. >> tucker: yeah. people surrounded by armed soldiers are telling you don't have a right to have a gun because some lunatic in another state committed a senseless crime. right. common sense gun reform, never more specific. right now the only clear legislative path democrats have to change gun laws in this country would be by eliminating the filibuster and making this officially a one-party state. that would change the country forever. for the next two years democrats could pass any law they wanted and as you know they absolutely would. so far they have not been able to get rid of the filibuster but democrats are already using yesterday's shooting to propose doing just that.

>> the question is in washington actually were or too we need to get rid of that filibuster? i actually think this is going to be another indictment of the filibuster. and this is one more example of why in the least we need significant filibuster reform. >> the problem is in the senate. even with the majority, a slim majority, because of the filibuster, it's going to be very, very difficult to get anything done. you know, the filibuster to many of us is a tool, an instrument for government gridlock. we needto do away with the fili. >> tucker: remember those two lame senate candidates running for the lame party in washington and georgia in january? this is why it was worth electing them but, of course, we didn't. anyway democrats in congress are not alone in their push for gun control, the women of the view agree. the television talk show host sonnies who continue doubtless

body gawrts 10 bedroom and 10 baath mansion owning a gun makes her feel like she is being held hostage. >> that is not freedom because i feel like a hostage right now. i feel like a hostage to the selfish people that insist on owning these types of weapons that is not freedom in this country. you are not a patriot because you think you have the right to own these types of weapons. you are not a patriot. you should be taking care of your fellow americans. >> tucker: okay mansion lady if you are so concerned about it why don't you disarm your body guards, the ones at your house, the ones at work and tell us how you like living in this country thanks to your ideas is becoming increasingly chaotic and dangerous without any firearm around to protect you? you don't want to do that? you want to lecture the rest of us selfish gun owners holding you hostage.

[laughter] it's all pretty amusing. colion noir is a second amendment advocate. he joins us now to assess what's happening to our second amendment rights. coal your, i appreciate you come on tonight. >> thank you for having me, tucker. >> tucker: as you can imagine some lunatic commits a horrifying crime therefore the rest of us aren't allowed to defend ourselves. does this have any chance of happening, do you think? >> now? yeah, largely because of the way things look in congress and as you pointed out earlier in your talking points that's why that georgia election was so incredibly important. i know i made a series of videos talking about that. a lot of people didn't really heed that warning because they wanted to vote along party lines, which again, the lack of independent thought is becoming increasingly, increasingly more dangerous. >> tucker: so i got to wonder like why if somebody does something horrible in boulder does that mean you need to strip from people the single most popular sporting rifle in

america, the one that commits relatively few crimes. i mean, more people are killed by a factor of five by knives than be by rifles in this country, why are they so intent on taking this one firearm away? >> because, honestly, if you really look at it, a lot of people like to undervalue what the second amendment was actually written for. and it was designed to be a check against the government. a lot of people don't like to talk about that aspect. of course, it was also there to allow us to defend ourselves. but, if you think about it, the ar-15 symbolically and literally is the best defense against a tie havranek call government. and not only that it serves as an excellent precursor for them to inevitably get to the point they really want to get to which is essentially the handguns. they can sell the whole idea of the ar 15 needing to be banned and evil and only meant for killing as they like to say which is not true. once be they get that and then as you pointed out it represents such a minor aspect of gun violence in this country then we have another shooting that happens, which it will. and then they will go ahead and

use that to justify further restricting our rights again. so they will take a little bit at a time, wait for another tragedy and take a little bit after that. that's why implore people when they elect these officials there are consequences for this because they are supposed to be our representatives. so, as long as we continue to elect them, without any recourse, whenever they do things like vote for gun control, we are going to continue to see this over and over and over again. before you know it, we won't have a second amendment. >> tucker: yeah. that's right. by the way, democrats aren't even enforcing exlisting gun laws in washington, new york, chicago. they ignore them. kim foxx in chicago ignores the gun laws. >> because it was never. >> tucker: didn't vote for them. i'm sorry? >> oh, no. i mean, look, the conversation about firearms in this country is so disingenuous unbelievable. nothing it do with saving lives. look at hr-8 and the other bill that just passed the house now going to go to the senate, none of those things would have

stopped any of the most recent shootings that we have had. none of them. so why are we pushing policy, that's not going to do anything? other than grant more power to the government. that's the overarcing goal there and i think a lot of pa people really have to start understanding that and take it for what it is. >> tucker: i think this could be pushing the country too far. i hope they don't try to do that. colion noir, it's great to see you. >> absolutely. thanks for having me, tucker. >> tucker: so last night we told you about something that amazing happened in north dakota. the legislature tried to protect women's sports. the governor stopped the bill. next guest democratic lawmaker from floor state, not a republican or a conservative, but fighting for similar legislation to keep girls sports for girls. it's happening in south carolina. you will meet him after the break. ♪ ♪

republican state passed a bill protecting women's sports it. would have banned biological men be from playing in the same teams as girls. kristi noem, who is a very nice person, pretty conservative. the governor of south dakota. effectively vetoed the bill. so why did she do that? it turns out that business interest like the chamber of commerce, ncaa, amazon, pushed her to do it. again, even though most people in south dakota strongly agree with the bill, she says she will not sign it. she said it will lead to too many lawsuits. >> tucker: i thought they were trying to codify what the majority. >> right. >> tucker: of your citizens want, which is girls sports for girls and boys sports for boys. here the ncaa comes in and says if you do that, you are going to lose a court battle and so you say well the bill can't go forward. you have a democratic process that arose from your open citizens. they want this bill and you have stopped it. so i am not really sure how this is defending women's sports with all due respect. >> the bill, tucker, tucker, the bill that my legislature gave me

is a trial lawyers' dream. it creates more and more litigation and regulation that is impossible to comply with for school district and people going forward. what i'm interesting in doing is making sure we are protecting girls' sports and going forward to fight the ncaa. >> tucker: so everyone likes kristi noem how could you not like kristi noem. a nice person and good governor in a lot of ways. the point is when things get really crazy and really ominous when things start to fall apart a little bit, what you believe doesn't really matter. what matters is your toughness, your willingness to stand up in the face of opposition and hold firm. your courage. always on the lookout for politicians who have it. not many. we found one in the state of south carolina. by the way he is not a conservative republican. is he a democrat. he is not afraid of big business. is he not afraid of the ncaa. his name is see area mcknight democratic state representative in south carolina. he recently filed a bill to ban gender are and blockers for

children if you need a bill but we do. many of the constituents in his district support his efforts but his own party has condemned him and accused him of quote bigotry. we are pleased to have him on our show tonight. mr. mcknight, thank you so much for coming on. go tell us why you have done -- you have obviously caused a lot of trouble for yourself by doing. this why did you do it. >> good evening, tucker. i like to say that i caused myself good trouble because all the opposition has done is help me win the republican parts of my district. the reason i did this is simply this. i'm i'm not anti-transgender. i'm not anti-gay. i'm not a homophobe and i resent people suggesting such. it was just this last week that i fought to put in protections in our new hate crime bill legislation that would protect gay people, transgender, lesbians. i fought to put that in there. so when i hear people suggest to me that i'm a homophobe, i resent that i don't hate anyone.

>> tucker: yeah. >> what i'm about is protecting children. and i think that in south carolina, you have to be 18 years old to get a tattoo. so how is it that you can get an irrev cable procedure performed on you at any age during your adolescence? it's ridiculous. >> tucker: well, yeah. we have different rules for children because they are children. so what's the counter argument? i'm always interested. you just made such a reasonable case for your position. do they just dismiss you as a hater? is that it? does anyone actually debate you? >> well, they use what i call sign language. when someone disagrees with you it's shame assault guilt and the need to be right. but the one thing that they say is oh, it should be a procedure that's left between the patient and the doctor. well, i understand that. and they don't want government regulation between a doctor and patient. well, we do have regulations between doctors and patients

because it protects government safety. the government regulates the disbursement of medications. the government regulates what things people can get when it comes to medicine. so why is it now that we have la say fair approach when it documents transgender surgery? it's ridiculous. i will tell you what i have discovered there are gay people, transgender people who support this bill and who have reached out to me. at first i was really scared because i was like okay, they are going to primary me and what have you. but i have people from my community very conservative people who told me i have never voted for you before but i will vote for you now. and one thing that i think my party needs to understand is african-american democrats are very much more conservative than their white caucasian counterparts. they need to understand that. >> tucker: man, is that true, particularly in the south.

i think the more courageous you are, the more empowered you get in the end and eare rooting for you. mr. cezar mcknight, thank you. >> thank you so much. have a good night. >> tucker: thanks. it's hard to believe this happened but it did and this is not the only case of it. a d.e.a. special agent was fired from his job for supporting the wrong presidential candidate. is that legal? we didn't there it was. it happened. we will ask him straight ahead. ♪ ♪

♪

♪ >> tucker: the white house has directed agencies to refer to the biden administration as the biden-harris administration. when was the last time a president demanded that his vice president get half the credit? let's see, never. not once in american history. in fact, the opposite is always true. so, it raises pretty deep questions like who is running the government? who is really in charge? at times it does seem like a third barack obama term just a few months ago obama hinted at what this might look like. >> people would ask me, knowing what you know now do you wish like you had a third term? and i used to say you know, if i could make an arrangement where

i had a stand-in, a front man, or front woman and they had an ear piece in and i was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff and that i could sort of deliver the lines but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony, i would be fine with that. >> tucker: yeah, kind of like a mariannette. someone who doesn't really know what's going on and he could kind of control everything through that unknowing person? just a daydream, fantasy. victor davis hanson a fellow at the hoover institution. we are happy to have him on tonight. thank you for coming on. have you followed this stuff? you are a historian. has any american president ever decided to voluntarily share of half the credit? no is the answer. why is this one doing it? >> i don't know. you can always count on barack obama to be his most candid and worse critic of himself. you know, this is fraught with

irony and karma. we have got to remember this same media that's created this cacoon around the biden candidacy, the transition of the presidency introduced the whole idea to us that you could invoke the 25th amendment, remove donald trump. that was nine days after his inauguration we were told he was not -- remember dr. bandy lee from yale was going to say he was a sociopath and rod rosenstein, andrew mccabe were going to wear a wire to catch him as incompetent and get rid of him through the 25th amendment. and he even took the montreal cognitive assessment test and aced it to show that he wasn't. the that same media is doing just the opposite. they are shielding us from knowledge and we had it a little bit a glimpse during the transition that there were cognitive issues with joe biden but such as it is now, about half the country, tucker, poll that they don't have confidence in joe biden's cognitive abilities which begs the question who is running the country? and is it jill biden playing the

role of edith wilson in 1819 when woodrow wilson for the last basically the last 19 months of his administration was stroke-ridden and inert. is she the conduit that funnels out information? is it, as you said, is it kamala harris and her team? they have this psychological particular of referring to herself as president harris or the harris-biden and that is shared by joe biden himself. or is it senior statesman barack obama who can't resist any current event to weigh in and who has stalked this administration with a lot of his former employers. i don't have the answer but it's getting a little scare request because we just had a debacle in anchorage where the chinese ate our lunch in a diplomatic tit-for-tat. if their way of thinking going the president the most important secretary is the secretary of defense, the most important agency in their way of thinking is the pentagon, when the president can't remember either and trips three times, they may

get the wrong impression. you know, they did that with john kennedy in '61 in june. he said he got beat up by khrushchev and 13 months later we had the cuban missile crisis. i'm worried it's just not -- it's not a media cycle crumb anymore it's geo strategic and security implications. our enemies worried or anxious to know just how in control joe biden is of the presidency. >> tucker: that is such a good point. i feel sorry for biden and i don't want to attack him and i mean that but it's breathtaking it's all happening in front of us and everyone is pretending it's not happening. but i think you are right it is happening. victor davis hanson i appreciate it? >> it is. >> tucker: thank you. remarkable. >> thank you. >> tucker: really remarkable actually. democrats told us if they won the white house and took control of congress they would make washington, d.c. a state. no one believed them because it's just too crazy. d.c. is not a state. it's the most mismanaged city in our country.

but they are serious. democrats are now saying d.c. statehood is actually going to happen and if you are against it, you are a bigot. more on that after the break. ♪ ♪ aliens are real, alright. there's just too much evidence. but ghosts? not so much. i mean where's the proof? show me the data. ooh, iced tea! kill weeds not the lawn with roundup for lawns products.

you know it's silly six-foot five, three hundred pounds i ride motorcycles on the weekends. so the thought of getting a hearing aid, i was.. i was scared. with lively, did a hearing test on the computer, when they sent them in the mail they were already set up for me. this little thing right here, has made me whole again.

a test in minutes, hearing aids in days, better hearing in no time. get started today at listenlively.com the sky is the limit now, on what i can go do. fact i'm going to go riding this weekend.

>> democrats and congress are dead serious about making do making d.c. estate and the constitution expressly prohibits that. they don't care where they want two senators which would tip the balance of power in the congress forever. the democrats used to cloak their desire for more power behind the argument that d.c. residents pays taxes without representation but that didn't work because it was stupid when you don't have to live in d.c. if you don't want so now they have a new argument, more and more in line with their values, it's all about race. >> today, would be 46% black which would make it a state with the highest percentage of black

people in the entire country. if d.c. statehood as a racial justice issue and racism kills. >> so you're a killer if you're against d.c. which is a city, maybe the most mismanaged city in the country becoming a state, but crystal weighed in on this and also wants to make d.c. a state remarkably, they want to keep going, has his sights on the next regime change, would want cuba to become a state and of course puerto rico. what is happening here? and riveting editor at national review online and happy to have him on with us this evening. if so d.c. a state, tell us why this is not a good idea. >> it's great to be with you. a couple of reasons is is a bad idea is it supposed to be a safe space where they can come around the country in the federal government and congress to discuss all kinds of matters and not have the governor or state

lawmakers looking over their shoulders and making life difficult for them. that's why it's a federal district and not just a city inside of a state so that's one thing and that's a theoretical reason for this. the practical reason is in any good in my republicans and conservatives need to try to stop this at all costs is that this is the most democrat and liberal constituency in the country. back in november, donald trump went five to 6% of the vote and 95% -- 92% of it went to joe biden just to give you a sense of how completely lopsided this is so if we have d.c. statehood, we would have two democrat senators for life, they could rob a bank today before the election and get elected and the ideas for them to be in there and remain as permanent members of the caucus and make it easier to get rid of the filibuster and implement the laughs pretty insane and anti-american agenda. that's what this is all about,

maintaining democrat control. >> sean: i spent my life in d.ct so mismanaged it defies belief. they are not even pretending this would be good for the country, i've noticed. >> i think that's true but one way you could prove the situation in d.c. is what i call the grand compromise which is nonrepresentation without taxation and i do understand and i'm sympathetic to the people in d.c. who pay federal taxes and don't have voting members in congress, a nonvoting delegate so let's maintain that, you're free from federal income tax, you have to pay federal income tax and then that entire argument about them having to pay taxes not being represented goes away. more people will go to washington, d.c., in the place will thrive more than it has so far and it'll be very good for a d.c. basically to be the singapore on the potomac if they were free from federal income

tax for that's a very fair compromise on something republicans and conservatives should in question. >> that makes too much sense for that to happen. >> too sensible. >> thank you. it will be back tomorrow 8:00 p.m., sean hannity takes over. >> sean: d.c. statehood is simple, democrats morning to more democratic senators in perpetuity, that's their hope, simple. good show, thank you. welcome to hannity and tonight, we are going to have the very latest on that shooting in colorado, the left rush for judgment and biden's plan to destroy the second amendment now bypassing congress yet again, that other coequal branch of government and using executive action but first breaking tonight, investigative reporter sara carter has never exclusively obtained for this show a shocking email with exclusive details about the migrant facilities
