at 7. be lovers of freedom. tucker carlson is up next. >> ♪ ♪ >> ♪ ♪ >> tucker: welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." oh the drama. the chauvin trial is over. officer derek chauvin was convicted yesterday on all count. the trial went on for more than a month and the testimony was complex and technical. at the center of the case there was one piece of relevant evidence. it was a videotape of george floyd's death in the street of minneapolis. if you have not seen the tape recently, it's every bit as shocking as the day it was shot. you can see that george floyd

knows on some level he will die and he does die. it's crushing. millions of american saw it and were horrified. many decided that officer chauvin must have committed an act of criminal brutality. it's not surprising that the jury yesterday concluded the same thing want the images in that tape seem to tell the whole story. it is possible that even if no one outside of the courtroom in minneapolis had ever seen that tape just the jury it is possible derek chauvin would still be convicted. the tape is that powerful. we don't know that. we can only speculate about it. that's not what happened. the george floyd video went around the world. it it became the centerpiece of a new political movement. political actors harnessed the emotion over that video and floyd's death to control the country and change it forever. this is the key of what we

should think about. in the last month some of these same people went further than that. they worked to change the outcome of derek chauvin's trial. that's one thing we can never allow no matter how we feel about a specific case. civilized counties have impartial systems of justice. they demand that every citizen is held to precisely the same standard under the law as every other citizen is. that aa -- applies no matter the alleged crime. civilized countries don't tolerate jury intimidation. you see it and stop it. ever under any circumstances. that is mob rule. america used to thrive hard to be like that.

-- strive. yesterday the president of the united states threw his backing behind derek chauvin's prosecution even as the jury was still deliberating the case. one of the most powerful member of the united states congress tell angry people they should act out in violence is the jury acquits. we watched minneapolis concede responsibility for the death of george floyd in the middle of the trial before derek chauvin's lawyer could sum up his case. and we saw thugs threaten a defense witness with death. they smeared pig blood on the door of what they thought was his house and got away with it. these were terrifying act. it doesn't matter if you think derek chauvin is guilty. it doesn't matter who you voted for. mobs trying to influence this trial should shock and horrify at least as much as the george

floyd video did. this is a picture of a country moving backward at high speed. the strange thing is that most people didn't seem shocked or upset by any of this. they seemed relieved by the verdict. they watched the troops in the streets and understood what an acquittal would mean. they believed that a conviction justified or not would buy the country peace. many people thought so including many republicans. some said so. if we obeyed maxine waters and ignored the pig blood the chaos would end. after 11 minutes of violence from blm, americans decided to pay the ransom. derek chauvin had to sacrifice for the sins of a nation. on television they told us this was the case. south america on trial.

-- america is on trial. it's all of us, our history, culture and system. we internalized that. but we were foolish to go along with it. a wise country stands on principles. it puts down mobs. it does not obey mobs. it doesn't matter what demands you follow, they demand more. now they are demanding more. the two most powerful people in the united states reacting to yesterday's verdict. no one showed that race or skin color played any role in the death of george floyd. but they are not interested in the details of the case. their plan is to use the trial the way they used george floyd. >> a measure of justice is not the same as equal justice.

this verdict brings us a step closer and the fact is, we still have work to do. we still must reform the system. >> no one should be above the law. today's verdict extend that message, but it's not enough. it can't stop here. >> tucker: it's not enough. we must reform the system. they don't say how but their intent is obvious. it turns that derek chauvin's conviction was not the end of the revolution. it was just the beginning of the revolution. the attorney general himself announced yesterday that the investigation into floyd's death overseen by a racist clark is on-going. it's on-going? didn't we just have a month long trial that presented all of the evidence? yes, but once again that was

just the start. what can we expect next? it's hard to know but there are signs. here are blm activists celebrating the verdict last night in new york. george floyd died 1200 miles from new york in a different region. they didn't know george floyd and probably didn't watch his trial. but justice for george floyd is not the point. every ending ethnic conflict is the point. listen. >> [bleep]. >> [shouting]. >> we don't want you here! >> we don't you want here. >> we don't your [bleep]. >> [bleep]. >> tucker: people with the wrong skin color have to leave new york city and they are not allowed to own restaurants. people didn't use to talk like

this in public. whether they did they were scolded at the very least. you can't have a multi-ethnic nation hold together if people scream that on the street. why are they doing it now? it gets results. radicalism and violence works. that's the lesson. we have taught them that lesson. here's one blm activist who says it out loud. >> it was a mixture of violent and non-violent protests that yielded this result. that's the bottom line. america doesn't listen to us when we march peacefully. i am not saying people will be back in the street. but america must know if you continue to allow us to be murdered in the streets without justice, we will raise hell in america. >> tucker: so violence gets

results. that's a threat of course but it's true. when you burn cities you get what you want. you get corporate hand out us and get the injure verdicts you demanded. rioters know this. -- jury. by allowing wendy's to be torch we gave up our power as citizens. why? maybe historians can explain it. prepare for the next phase. derek chauvin's conviction didn't settle the account. it merely increased the debt. this person is letting us know that derek chauvin was just beginning. national transformation is on the way.

>> now what? chauvin is headed to jail. is america leaded to justice? is justice convicting a police officer or convicting america? the problem is historic. we must in the time to transform this nation. >> tucker: so we have all been convicted of murder. you can't blame this guy who has million dollars. you may paying tuition to support his salary. this transformation he is calling for, what will that look like? newsom is one of the most famous

activists in the country and she announced that police officers should not be allowed to break up knife fights. "teenagers have been having knife fights for eons." you may roll your eyes at this or at newsom and many like her. be assured that the biden administration did not roll its eyes. it takes every word seriously. that means your neighborhood may see reforms like this one. what will happen next? in an affluent neighborhood you will hire private security.

many police officers will be eager to become private security guards because it pays better. for everyone else, what is next? here's data coming from a study: okay,but here's the cost and we are quoting:

are you following the math there? thanks to blm says this researcher, police shot 300 fewer suspects. in exchange up to 6,000 new murders took place many of innocents and children. that's the bargain we have made. we just double down on that. victor davis hanson we have him on tonight. thank you very much for coming on. how do you read not -- not the verdict itself. we watched over a month of this trial unfold, but the response of the people who demanded a guilty verdict to the verdict we received? what does that tell you? >> well, i think it's part of a wider pattern. a lot of people get up and scan the news cycle. whether it's michael brown or george floyd they see this as useful for a larger agenda that doesn't have public support.

whether it's open borders or redistribution or the end of the second amendment, it doesn't matter. they want to use this crisis to indict all of america in the majority population and they say what can we do? what reparation can we do? they are given and things they can do. change the voting laws. you can have a great proportion of this group hired. you can make race based reparations in the department of agculture. but it will never be enough. data doesn't matter. african-americans are slaughtered by police. end of discussion. the "washington post" found in 2019 that 9 were nationwide. based on the people who are arrested. about 50% of african-americans

of the 10 million arrested are shot by police. hate crimes. african-american are overrepresented based on their proportion in the population that commit hate crimes. it doesn't matter. there are other quick rules. class doesn't matter. so the people who are at the forefront of this agenda are barack obama and michelle. or lebron will take a photo-op. the billionaire lebran. -- lebron or oprah talking about the oppression in the rule. it's difference by an elite group of blacks and bi-coastal white elite. they know why 7,000 african-americans are killing

themselves in inner cities and the schools are bad. they do not want to put their kids in the public schools. they don't want to get on the ground in a concrete fashion and say to people, let's preserve the african nuclear family. stop the abortion and fatherless household? i don't want to be around you. i want to call the dean to get my kid in school and i feel wonderful about myself. burr that won't solve the problem. -- but. we know what the problem is. we have to talk bluntly about the black family which is key to restoring black success. most. of the elite know that. >> tucker: victor davis hanson, appreciate you coming on tonight. >> thank you. >> tucker: maximum aggression

that's always the guiding principle on the left. the verdict comes down and the white house tells us that systemic racism and bias are america's biggest problem and may have motivated the police shooting in columbus, highway. -- ohio. the officer shot someone who was attacking another person with a give. knife. the media used this to inflame people. valerie jarrett argued that police should not interrupt knife fights. quote: demand accountability. what does that look like? forest cooper joins us.

you didn't hostage a year ago someone like valley jarrett in public saying police have no right to top knife fights. we moved a long way in a short time it feels like. >> the left is throwing out all of the rules, all of the principles to pursue their objective. as your discussion with victor davis hanson demonstrated, they are not interested in the data that shows how harmful this is. i would like to use an illustration. the years 1995. the trial of the murderer of nicole brown simpson and ronald goldman is taking place. what would we think if the governor, republican pete wilson announced he would personally

look into this case and call the republican attorney general and said, i want you to get the most prominent law firms to volunteer their times. we will bring $20 million in legal resources to bear because we have to guarantee that o.j. simpson is convicted? what would america think, instead of holding that trial in brentwood where he lived and where the crime occurred and where a large percentage of highly educated jurors would have been there, that they instead moved it to los angeles? which is what they did do to get a different set of jurors.

these type of things are examples of what happens when you draw this contrast. we had derek chauvin targeted by the state. that's not due process. even the due process that someone like o.j. simpson who brutally killed two people was entitled to. why isn't derek chauvin? >> tucker: it's making people radical. i appreciate you coming on. cortes is getting to the end of a sophomore year at american university and has theorys of everything. mark stein joins us after the break.

gillibrand announced to the world that everything is infrastructure even her. sandy courtes saw this and thought i need my own big idea. according to this congresswoman everything is climate change. >> it's the pursuit of profit at all ecological costs. the trampoline of rights is a cows of private change. -- a cause of climate change. we are allowing people the right to healthcare and the right to housing and education. >> tucker: the worst thing we did in this country was give

bachelor degrees to dumb people. mark stein joins us to assess. climate change is racism with the infrastructure. what do you think this means? >> yes, everything is infrastructure. infrastructure is climate change. climate change is racism and racism is everything. your reaction is to roll your eyes and mine is to roll my eyes. i would be happy to pitch an eye rolling hour every night on this challenge for these stories. nobody who matters rolls their eyes at aoc. they take her seriously. even chuck schumer who is not an

idiot. he may be depraved but he is not an idiot. he knows that he can't go up against it. when i saw this story, i thought this is ridiculous. racial justice? the transatlantic slave trade reached its height during the ice age when the french and indian wars occurred. so there is no correlation at all with racism and climate change. what am i doing? this is rubbish. i have been in a 10 year lawsuit in washington, d.c. against the guy who invented the climate change hockey stick. he is a scientist and his position is in the last millennium nothing happened and then you tucker got into your

suv and fried the planet. that's an idiotic theory but he is not saying climate change correlates to racism. when you get to this stage planes dropout of the skies. we need to hire some pilots who recognize the racial injustice in flying pliance. if everything is racism, nothing is racism. if everything is infrastructure, nothing is infrastructure. infrastructure is racism and racism is climate change. that is all you need to know. >> tucker: they are destroying any incentive for anyone to engage in reason or measured debate. all they do is scream things that are untrue and it works. maybe we should respond, screaming you are a criminal and

you belong in jail. who wants to live in a place like that where that's the level of public conversation? >> exactly. i said you laugh at this and i laugh at it. the people who really laugh at this are xi and the chinese. it frees up all of their time to talk about something important and something true. >> tucker: so nicely put. thank you very much. obviously there is a lot going on. a revolution in progress. how should people who are not with the program respond to this? we try to find people who felt deeply about this question. after the break we will show you a conversation we had with one of them.

congress and a democrat representing california and smart. went to standard and georgetown. when he speaks you see the democratic parties brain trust on display. this is a tweet in response to a colleague scott perry. perry was making an argument we have made because it's true. that democrats are using mass immigration to transform the country to change who votes so they can control who wins. ted was very annoyed that scott said this. he sent the following tweet and was clearly enraged as he did: we agree with that. then he said this:

in other words, you are being replaced. there is nothing you can do so shut up. with people like ted in charge, they won't get a lot done. the u.s. is changing. the change is rapid and it might be permanent. if you are a conservative leader, you probably ought to be thinking about how can i protect the people i represent from being hurt from this change and preserve the things about america that actually matter? that hasn't been happening. why not? we have a conversation with glenn elders on fox news.com. this is part of it. that's the question. all power centers on one side moving with remarkable speed to transform anything. some large, but unknown number

of americans are not on board with this. they are oppressed in some cases. they are looking to leadership to protect them. what should they ask for from their conservative leaders? >> they should ask for truth which they are not getting. >> tucker: good answer. >> and ask for promises to be kept which is not happening often. one of the reasons the 2016 election happened is people got disenchanted with broken promises from the mainstream republican action. >> tucker: trump was a reaction to what they were getting from their own leaders? >> sure. not only is the republican establishment hallow and broken

but even the conservative movement in a way has let people down. part of what i argue in the piece is conservativism is no longer the right paradigm to think about these things. as you say on the show, so much is gone. so many of our institutions have been captured by the bad guys. what are we conserving? popular culture is a cesspool. the academy is taken over by woke ideology. the federal government is controlled by a bureaucracy. now the corporate world. what happens when large corporations don't believe in property rights or the rule of law? silicone valley is a private sector ministry of propaganda on

behalf of the oligarch. what are we conserving? maybe we need to think in different terms. what we need is to think as revolutionaries or counter-revolutionaries to bring back the stuff that was lost that people are still attached to. it exits not in our laws and institutions but in the hearts and minds of a lot of people. according to the founding charter of this country, if the people decide that the government is no longer protecting their rights, they have a right and a duty, which is interesting, to alter or abolish that government and replace it with something they think will serve their safety and happiness. >> tucker: i don't think you could post that on twitter. >> is that hate speech?

vaccine passports? joe biden assured you. no, the most powerful corporations in the world will provide vaccine passports and mandate their use. if you don't have a passport even if you have antibodies from a natural infection, you can't live here. master card and the chamber of commerce announced a partnership on vaccine passports and they will make global i.d. cards to track vaccinations. chris bedford, let's assume this is happening. what does this mean for the country? >> it's happening right now in front of us and happening to people who are coerced into making this decision. earlier this week speaking to a friend of mine who has a young child and she and her husband

want to have another one. her lobbying firm said she can't travel unless she gets this passport. that will push her out of promotion and out of the ability to earn. these are decisions that are being made by private companies whether or not our governors pretend otherwise. republicans are loathe to tell private businesses what to do. small businesses have had a bad year under government mandates. this is different. this is over the line. trying to coerce citizens into a novel vaccine that hasn't been tested with pregnancy. they won't have access to the aim restaurants or the jobs. a good government needs to step

in. >> tucker: if united airlines said we are against abortion. if you had an abortion you can't fly on our plane. and master card said if you have an abortion you can't have our credit card. wait a second. it's not the government but you are forcing us to make a decision about a medical procedure. it's our body and our choice. why is nobody saying that? >> because so many people are in agreement. it's sad to see how many people in the united states in the name of safety turned in their neighbors and people struggling to make a living. people trying to cut hair in their back yard. tattled on them to the authorities. that's the level of fear that is being generated. a lot of top corporations claiming we are in this together

have been pushing this from the top to bottom. now it's small businesses and there is a chance for conservatives to push back and say no. florida and montana have done this. no businesses are allowed to demand a vaccine from you. if other states do this, you will create a patchwork and get some of the old not so good allies like the chamber of commerce saying wait, we wanted to do business in those states so we need to stop this too. >> tucker: you could have free states for a free country. federalim. thank you. the chauvin trial is over. but the people who benefitted from george floyd's death are demanding still more power. what will happen to the rest of us if they get more power? senator john kennedy from louisiana joins us after the break.

justice. frankly i don't even think we call it full accountability. >> tucker: sandy cortez of boston university, defining justice for america. senator john kelly of louisiana -- john kennedy of louisiana. my understanding was you assessed the justice rendered in the case on the terms of the case. if a guilty person is convicted, that's justice. why is this case a referendum on the whole country? >> i'm listening to the congresswoman and i'm thinking no disrespect but how does anyone get to be her age and believe that drivel? this to me is what this is all about, tucker. no fair-minded person believes that cops, many of whom are racial minorities, get up every day and go to work hoping for

the opportunity to be able to hurt someone, including but not limited to people of color. that's nonsense. but people like the congresswoman, they really believe it. they really do hate cops just because they're cops. they really do want to defund the police which will result in a fantastic impression of hell. the woke-aristas really do believe that when a cop shoots a criminal, it is always, every slow time the cops fall but when a criminal shoots a cop, it's always, every single time, the gun's fault. these folks really do have contempt for america. they should have gratitude but they have contempt. they're not happy and won't be happy until they take a sledgehammer to america.
