niversity of phoenix. i'm lawrence jones. i will see you tomorrow. tucker is up next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." karen pryor was shot to death in his driveway in his home in oakland, california. it was an awful crime and surveillance footage shows the killer firing within dozen rounds before fleeing. no one was arrested for the murder but local media did not seem especially interested in

finding out who did it because they already knew. the coronavirus killed aaron prior, that's what they told us. a local health television station told us that they must be connected. they didn't explain how exactly covid had done that killing, but everyone particularly people in power seemed happy to blame covid, the pandemic today. we heard that a lot. across the country new york city mayor bill de blasio claimed raising prime rates squarely on the virus. >> relief organizations will say pride of the recent crime is up is because there has been a cut in funding to the nypd. what do you say to that? >> this predates any funding decisions, and that's the truth. the perfect storm i mention started in march and april when

everything shut down and we saw the violence start in earnest, may through june into july. it's clearly because things came unglued. >> tucker: it right. it must've been the pandemic, that makes sense. the quarantine did it. we force everyone to stay home and that's whether some the people on the streets shooting each other and pushing strangers into oncoming subway cars. does that make sense to you? no, it's the make sense to anyone but thankfully experts soon emerged to understand why some something that's obviously untrue must in fact be true. "because of the stressors of the pandemic, they are everywhere." you are this everywhere. except we are not seeing this everywhere. that's not true. the coronavirus may be global but rising crime rates are not global. right canada felt that crime

fell. they saw the biggest annual debt decrease in a decade and in sweden and russia crime dropped a to even in mexico which was the middle of the drug war. for normal countries, pretty much all countries the pandemic meant more netflix but less killing. you are seeing the date on your screen. it's from a nonprofit opera from the university of missouri. killing spiked in the late may come well after the pandemic began. homicides, aggravated assaults, and they jumped by 40% during the summer and 34% in the fall when compared to the previous summer and fall.

murders are up 800% in portland, oregon, up 56% in minneapolis, 27 present in l.a., and 40% in philadelphia. you have to ask yourself because your life may depend upon it, why is this country different from say sweden or russia or mexico and you know the answer. it's not covid, it's in our country stupid malicious people took full control. and their policies resulted in a huge number of killings. that's not speculation, they bragged about it. >> there are folks in law enforcement that shared the goals reimagining police. >> reimagining policing in the 21st century. >> to reimagine policing. >> we have to reimagine what

policing looks like. >> reimagining policing, reimagining a sentence and let approach. >> reimagine public safety in this country. >> what can we do to reimagine public safety. >> reimagine public safety. >> we must reimagine what public safety looks like. >> they definitely reimagine public safety and they made the public much less safe. 20 major u.s. cities have slashed their police budgets in the last year and they defunded the police collectively, the cut more than $840 million from law enforcement. in atlanta in the story that we love to read it one city councilman votes to strip 73 million from the police, and at least 25 cities have put police into public schools.

the university's activists have pushed for the same, total abolition of the police. when they said they were going to defund the police, they meant it. at the university of chicago dozens of students swarmed the home of the college president. one of them is an especially entitled young lady called madeleine wright who shouted this to her megaphone. we will fight to abolish this letter ating system. there is a form of over policing and that's where obama is from. the professor wrote dozens of posts on twitter last summer and explained that because chicago's police stopped more african-americans and white people in a predominantly african-american neighborhood, they are racist. he hasn't said anything about the police since january of this

year. why january? that's when a 30-year-old phd student at the university of chicago was murdered in a killing spree on chicago's south side along with two other people, killed for being there. at that point it's possible that even like damon jones realize there's a reason the university of chicago has one of the largest police forces outside of the vatican. the neighborhood around the school is a very dangerous place. that's not the fault of the police and, that's becoming more so by the day. it's happened because people with a political agenda have taken over law enforcement. in chicago for example, the blm activist concluded that leading, concluding, stealing is a form of reparation. >> people in the city are struggling with the pandemic.

>> that makes sure that person has close, because our city obvious they just care about them. not only that but it's reparation. >> she had to steal from gucci to eat. that's insane and only a sick society would listen to something like that. something like that would be dismissed automatically in a healthy society. but in this case not a single democratic politician pushed back. walgreens has closed 17 different stores. why? because prosecutors in san francisco and many other places, but not just there, no longer charge soft lifters so people steal whatever they want. there's so much theft on such a scale that the stores cannot afford to stay open.

they are not closing as a political statement, they are closing because they can't afford to have their merchandise stolen. this is not the country were born in. >> they will close their doors for good november 11. customers say the store is known for being a notoriously easy place to shoplift. >> i've heard walgreens is really easy to steal from. >> why is that? >> if they don't chase you. >> shoplifting has been ongoing problem at this location and may be an ongoing factor on why it will be closed. so to be clear, it's not that americans have been more prone to steal, it is that stealing is now allowed. when you allow something you get more of it. this is the result of intentional policies designed to give us more stealing.

more murder, more rate, or pushing strangers in front of subway cars because of people in charge allowed to happen. it's happening in new york. several candidates for the mayor of new york, people running to replace the bill de blasio of an asset anyone who opposes stealing his "criminalizing poverty." they are not normal people, they are liberals. cynthia nixon certainly felt that description. the cbs in her neighborhood was trying to prevent thieves from walking off of their entire inventory. i can't imagine thinking that the way to solve the problem with basic necessity out of desperation is to prosecute them. so you have to wonder, what would happen if you showed up at something next one's place tonight and try to help yourself to some "basic necessities?" what cynthia nixon understand

your theft is a profound form of social protest or social justice, which he applauded or would you tell your bodyguards to shoot you and then thank them profusely when you did it? it's a tough question, you'd be dead in seconds. cynthia doesn't mean a word about what she said about crime. they are just trying to feel like at people in a world that confuses construction for future. they should be nowhere near power. all of us are seeing the results of that. the police sergeant is murdered in california and she's working to make los angeles a safe city again. thanks so much for coming on. so this may be the country's clearest example of how policy is bad policy is caused crime.

refusing to prosecute in los angeles county has made the city far more chaotic and far more dangerous. what are you all who live there trying to do about this? >> george gascon has really changed the justice system upside down in los angeles county. in fact, george gascon is saying that he is a progressive d.a., it's quite the opposite. he is regressive and he is trying to unwind major forms which are the three strikes law, the three strikes law was any fact in 1996 as a result of the murder of polly kloss by richard allen -- i can't member his last

name at this point. anyway he took her from her bedroom, murdered and her and that would be an extremely violent felon. as a result, the three strikes law came into effect. the other is the gang enhancement as well as the gun enhancement. who shows sympathy to these individuals? these are repeat violent offenders that george gascon is trying to let out in the streets of l.a. >> tucker: so you and many residents of l.a. like you are trying to recall george gascon, there's no reason backed by an where are you in that effort? >> yesterday we kicked off the recall effort, and we are now

starting to collect signatures. i know very positive that we will get those and as a result of that, we should have a special election take place in early 2022. >> tucker: it because it's not black lives matter, is any businesses or rich people supporting your effort? >> and they leave the trail of victims behind. you get that recall effort going, and and they have as many

people as possible sign them. >> tucker: i really hope powerful people come to your aid to, it shouldn't just be crime victims acting on their own behalf. great to see you. thank you. >> thank you, thank you so much. >> tucker: is so lots of people at risk from getting very sick or dying from covid have happily taken the coronavirus vaccine and that makes sense. but there are tens of millions, it may be 100 million americans who face another question. if you've been infected with the coronavirus already and he recovered and natural antibodies to take the coronavirus vaccine and if so, why? if you do that could you be harmed? no one has bothered to investigate that question until now for some reason but we have an answer. trace gallagher has that story. >> as the data comes in the argument becomes very compelling

that the vaccination focus should not be on those who have already had covid. for example, a study from monash university in melbourne, australia shows people already infected will make antibodies for most of their lives. the study found two key things. one is so-called memory b cells patrolled the blood looking for reinfection and two, bone marrow cells produce antibodies for decades. studies from israel in the u.k. have similar findings. in the meantime, talk about missing the forest for the trees. there has been almost zero response to an astonishing revelation made by the heads of our key health agencies. here's the exchange. may 11th, capitol hill under questioning by senator richard burger. it's 47 seconds and well worth it. watch. >> what percentage of the employees in your institute, your center or your agency of your employees has been vaccinated.

>> you know, i'm not 100% sure senator but i think it's probably a little bit more than half, around 60%. >> i can't tell you the exact number but it's around the same range. the same number at our facility and outside of our facility. >> we are encouraging our employees to get vaccinated, we've been doing town halls and education seminars and our staff have the option to report the vaccination status but as you understand the federal government is not requiring it so we do not know. >> so those in charge of propagating and dispersing the vaccines can't even get their own people to buy in and to you of will address all of this on your "tucker carlson tonight" special tomorrow night on the left swore on science. >> tucker: the great trace gallagher, thank you so much. it's kind of an amazing story.

right around half of the employees at nih and cdc have been vaccinated. why have the other half? and since they haven't, why are we requiring college students, all of them, to take the vaccine? young people, many of whom have already recovered from covid? what's the answer. hopefully we find one. who is taking over rush limbaugh's time slot on the radio? that has just been announced, the man filling his spot. join us after the break. ♪ ♪

are you nervous? >> i'm not nervous, tucker. thanks for having me. first of all, you do incredible work. i don't think you should be nervous about stepping in, buck and i are not replacing vents for rush limbaugh because no one replaces a legend, but you can continue the fight. there is so much insanity going on in this country right now. i've done sports for the last six years and it slowly on daily sports radio, slowly just spiraled more and more into the cataclysmic lee ridiculous. so i'm excited finally to be picking up a sword and being able to swing back every single day at all the ignoramuses out there and the idiots and the nincompoops and actually be able to stand up for i think the huge number of people out there who worry every time they get on twitter or facebook or instagram and want to share their opinion

and think is it worth it, am i going to end up losing my job over this? and people who don't feel like they can speak. >> tucker: we get about 1%, and it's too much. i want to throw a story in your grill and get your thoughts on this device that we read it in slate.com, the dear prudence: that begins this way. my husband won't take off his mask even for sacks. we are both vaccinated now, when will this stop? the other added that her husband does not change his mask off and ended smelly and soiled. how many can you imagine can relate? >> probably far too many. first of all if the woman had any sense at all she would leave her husband because if you are

messing up at this point, why do you want to be with such an emasculated loser and be betrothed to him for the rest of your life? i would lose my mind if i was this woman. having said that i am about about to go out to dinner with my own wife, maybe i should put a mask on. it has moved beyond of the theater of the absurd to just the level of mindlessness, the party of science is now embracing fundamentally antiscience beliefs with no legitimate basis in reality. it's mindless insanity. >> tucker: i wonder though, once you've admitted that you wear a mask, a surgical mask, a soiled surgical mask in intimate moments with your wife, there's no going back. you basically just told the

world that you are crazy. can people like that recover? >> no i don't think people like that can recover. you've seen people as all the mask mandates have thankfully finally come falling down, he thought there would be a great mass of people running out into the streets to have a great deal of fun and i think what you are seeing is, this has become the security blanket of many left-wingers and they need to have their mask on because it gives them an identity. it's a security blanket for their life and it's absolutely ridiculous and absurd. >> tucker: ability, obedient little drones they are. congratulations to you and buck and we will be listening. what a cool opportunity and we know you will kill it. >> thanks to ed hartman and julie talbot. phenomenal people, can't wait to do them justice on the show. >> tucker: amen and thank you. for months we have asked, why

are parents sitting by and align their kids to be propagandized and attacked, and some cases destroyed with racist propaganda? the answer comes from the state of maine and one father spoke up and said i'm not for this. he was banned from attending his daughter's graduation and he joins us after the break.

had no idea. we also learned to use blm money to buy millions of dollars worth of houses, she bought at least four. are you shocked by this, it citibank shocked by this? they shouldn't be. way back in 2015 patrice colors posted on camera that "we are trained marxists. but we didn't know has good the training was. pretty effective. on may 15th of this year police in maine told a father called sean mcbride he that he was not allowed to go to his daughter's graduation ceremony. why? he'd been banned from the school district from all school events. why was he banned? because he fought back against what the school's teaching, racist propaganda. the equity agenda, loosing it across the country. it's evil and very few parents have said anything but he did. there've been reports that the school board may have reversed its decision and sean mcbride

he is here to give us the an update. he is the head of a chapter at the school. has a school board school board reversed its decision? >> as far as i know i can't go to the band concert on and there was some word salad where that president said if i met some conditions i might be able to go to graduation but right now it's still up in the air. i pushed back a couple of times on that because frankly i don't think there should be condition that to me going to graduation. i don't know if he wants me to stand on one leg and rub my belly the whole time, i have no idea what these conditions are. >> tucker: i suspect he won't. what's interesting is, the stuff happens all over the country. you live in southern maine and even in southern maine this is happening. you are one of the rare parents who has pushed back, i think you've gotten a lot of positive attention from doing it but tell

us specifically what you did is an inspiration for their parents. >> we got a white supremacist letter essentially on last june 2nd and when i read that, i felt assaulted. it wasn't how i grew up in wasn't how i taught the girls and he didn't want the school teaching is kind of information to my kids. i pushed back to the superintendent and said very politely and said as minneapolis it's burning to the ground you could have talked about the first amendment and peaceful protests and quite frankly i live in the safest town in maine. our police department's top notched. you missed all that. he kind of sad, sorry you took it that way. he didn't double down on that a couple days later with, you're not woke enough to understand what i'm talking about, let her. he basically divided into they are always passive-aggressive and never fight back immediately. so then what did you do >> i went to some school board meetings and asked them to make some changes on what i had found an basically they said no.

from there they tried to cancel me and once that occurred i took the fight to them. i held them accountable to the public comment policy, is my first amendment rights and really tried to push the envelope to help them understand that as a parent, i didn't want that in my community that i lived in for over 20 years. >> tucker: a lot of school board members i noticed, i checked, are not actually from maine. they showed up in liberal environments and then tried to spread their poison. so you name one of the school board members? become yes. she's one of the more radical folks on our school board and is committed to our radicalism but i took a picture of her when she was not standing for the pledge of allegiance to honor our troops. and before i left the room i put that out on social media and half the town lost her mind. they couldn't believe that i took a picture of a government official, elected official, and sent that out to the world. from there i made a small political sign and brought that to a meeting which jeff porter

kicked me out of end up with that sign right across the road that i live on in the mineta 24 hours a day and frankly, the leftists lost their mind. >> tucker: so this is someone who hurt your children and you called us to public attention and you're the bad guy? but the folks that really thought that i was doing the right thing said to me, i support you 100% but i can't say anything because i don't want to lose my job. i got a business town, we are third generation cumberland residents and the canceled culture in that town is so venomous that everybody kind of got canceled out and frankly, i just kind of kept counter punching. it would punch and i would punch back and i would push back harder and we would kind of work through it. so the same process, this was one of the signs here recently and just a little secret,

leftists lose their mind over signs. they are triggered by signs and frankly this had a lot of play and it was interesting. >> tucker: amazing. sean, thank you. i think it's inspiring that someone wasn't going to let the kids be destroyed. some of the best stories from the past year have not come from journalists but privately funded spies that were for political campaigns and corporations. baron meyer, one of the only people reporting on this joint of snacks with what he found. ♪ ♪

collusion >> tucker: the russia collusion story, we spent three years working through it. that was perpetrated in american politics. how does it start? is something called the steele dossier which turned out to be opposition research put together by a british spy called christopher steele. no one ever heard of christopher steele and yet everyone believed him immediately. >> he went through the timeline very well a few moments ago. it's stunning. >> there were substantial portions of what was in the steele dossier which was an intelligence document that has indeed checked out. eco-based on our own reporting and numerous sources the dossier is far from bogus. >> i think we have to stop calling at the infamous dossier. increasingly it's the accurate dossier. >> brace, cut based on our reverting, layers. you don't hear a word about the

steele dossier. barry meyer wrote a book that examines that dossier and the broader relationship between the intelligence community. it's called spooked. thanks so much for coming on. it dawns on me that this is an hour-long conversation that we should have the having but in the next short period of time, tell us the connection between the intelligence community globally. how broad is it? how big is this? >> it's very big talker and thanks much for having me on. journalists get information's from all kinds of places, and from cia and law enforcement agencies like the fbi that but y what i focus on is this booming role of private intelligence or private spies, as i called them.

this industry has exploded in the past decade and their connections with journalists have exploded along with it. >> tucker: if you are reporting out of story one of your concerns is being used by people feeding you the information for some purpose that you're not aware of. it seems like this arrangement is particularly vulnerable to that. >> it should be your first and foremost concern against a journalist. at the time, i spent most of my career with the health and safety report. we broke the story about oxycontin and its illegal marketing and when drug companies were making claims, the reporter would scrutinize them. unfortunately in the case of the dossier end of their situations we have reporters who are into giving these claims the same level of scrutiny and as a result this thing kind of metastasize on its own.

>> tucker: buzzfeed just printed it, flat out, without betting any of it. what has changed, the intel service at private or government can't beat information end and see in print? >> i think it's a result of several factors. there's been a tremendous growth within the media. there's been a fracturing of it, and extremes on either end politically on the media arts. so there's a great appetite for scoops. there is some intelligence and something fresh that no one else has. as a result this becomes a petri dish for these private intelligence firms to kind of feed information. >> tucker: at the report that you are doing on this, and

congratulations on the book. >> i greatly appreciated, tucker. >> tucker: is a whistle-blower from within facebook just exposed an internal document to the show about how the company sensors comments about the coronavirus vaccine. he's been suspended from facebook and he joins us next. >:

>> tucker: earlier this week james o'keefe and project. tossed this country yet another public favor. they obtained the internal documents from a whistle-blower at facebook. the whistle-blower explained that facebook automatically flags comments that express any concern about the coronavirus vaccine. >> facebook uses classifiers and algorithms to determine comments that they call vaccine hesitant, and without the user knowledge

they assign a score, and based on that score will delete the comment depending upon the content within it. >> tucker: according to those documents here's one example of what facebook considers a tier one vaccine hesitancy comments. "if the vaccines are so useful then why do we need to still wear a mask and social distance afterward? fair question but not aloud. he's been suspended from his job at facebook and morgan joins us now. thanks for coming on and for your bravery. it sounds like any real questions at all about the vaccines are not allowed by facebook. >> tucker, that's true. anything that questions a vaccine on their narrative regarding the vaccine which is, everyone should get the vaccine, the vaccine is good and one, you won't have any bad side effects,

that's considered under vaccine hesitancy by facebook's algorithms. >> tucker: is there any motive you can understand? like why would they want to be and people from asking honest questions were reported no side effects? >> honestly, they afraid -- basically my as that is not the right thing to do because basically the users at facebook are not aware this is going on and if you are using facebook for a social platform and censoring that content under comments that's highly immoral.

the one it sounds like you are willing to lose your job or will for coming forward is that dumb academic, is that why you came forward? >> i believe any consequences bestowed upon me by facebook as a result of this linked to project veritas, these consequences don't really way much when it comes to having to live with myself and ask myself the rest of my life, i saw these documents on a have the opportunity to show the public this and what's going on behind the scenes and i didn't do it. so i wouldn't be able to live with myself after that. >> tucker: i consider that heroic, this country used to consider whistle-blowing heroic. have you been treated as a hero? >> among the close company i have now, yes. as for facebook they decided to suddenly tell me to stop my work one day while i was at work, call me into a meeting with my supervisor and a security guard.

they removed my open equipment, and walked me out to my car and basically informed me that they would be having an investigatory meeting with me at a later date which they actually ended up canceling at the last minute. so not a very good reaction from facebook, no. >> tucker: i don't know where you go from here but i hope you thrive, i hope you are rewarded for what you do. thank you, morgan. it's good to see you. >> if you want to support you can go to website and do any kind of donation there for me and my family. >> tucker: a man and i hope many will. appreciate it. sad news, our friend foster freeze died at the age of 81 in arizona. his obituaries described him as a conservative philanthropist or make a donor but those descriptions do not capture the man. you can learn a lot about somebody that where he gives his money. a lot of rich people become philanthropists in order to an d
