be. but the opposite is true. for decades, various mayors of atlanta have attacked buckhead as something offensive or immoral aboutiv maintaining an orderly neighborhood. for the most part, the residents of buckhead have taken this abuse in silence. so they continue to send huge a amounts of money to a cityod government that hates. them. the politicians in atlanta, this has been a very good deal. but last summer things changed. a man called rayshard brooks was shot to death in a parking lot and wendy's by the police

officers and brooks was apparently drunk and had fallen asleep in his car in the driveway. when the police tried to arrest him, he went berserk.. it is painful to watch. he stole a cop's taser and that is when the officer shot brooks. it was a sad story, but it was understandable once you watch the tape and thought about it carefully. but keisha lance bottoms didn't wait to think about it carefully or at all. without pausing for an investigation, she immediately fired the officer and then a issued a press release about it. and later found what bottoms did was illegal, but it was too late. hundreds of atlanta police officers had left the force.oo those who stayed understood ver well there was no point in making arrests. who would want to be the officer? nobody. so response times plummeted and called the police, but they didn't come. criminals found

even when arrested for violent crimes, they were back on the street in days. can you guess what happened next? >> eliana kovitch and her boyfriend were shocked to learn the man in this video who was accused of attacking them was out on bond. the couple was t outside of the mercedes-benz dealership in buckhead last june when a man started to threaten him. >> he took out his knife in his pocket, and he said he had a gun. he kept telling us he was going to kill us. >> the violent words soon turned physical. >> he went around the other side of the car, punched my boyfriend in the left temple, and then he punched me and then he punched me again and i fell to the ground and blacked out. >> he was arrested and chargedun seven felonies for the attack however, he was released on bond five months later. as she and her boyfriend did some digging, they learned moore

had been arrested days before in clayton county. >> misdemeanor battary charges and then released and while he was out on bail from clayton county, that is when he attacked us. >> tucker: that is pretty unbelievable. threaten to kill him and punched a woman in the face, but what did they do wrong exactly? just down the street in buckhead. murder in buckhead is up 50%. robberies, aggravated assaults up by 40%. car thefts, 65%. lenox square mall was one of the first indoor shopping malls in the united states, a great and famous place. now it is too dangerous to visit. beginning last year, someone was shot at the mall virtually every month. december 2019 a macy's employee shot during a robbery. in january a man trying to defend himself from armedry robbery was inadvertently shot by t a cop. in februarynd of last year, a dg

deal led to a battle outside of bloomingdale. in march a parking space outside of the cheesecake factory led to killing someone and someone. so people in buckhead stopped going to the mall. ultimately, the authorities decided they need security and put police dogs throughout the building and set up a network oi security cameras with software to detect firearms. it seemed like it worked, but it didn't, just too much violence. this past april a gunman beat a 60-year-old woman in the mall of the parking lot and stole her purse.e. atlanta police said somehow none of the cameras caught the crime. a witness called james glass said he never saw any police officers or security during the assault, even though the attacker took his time beating the woman because he was enjoying it so much. according to glass, "it seemed like he was celebrating what he had done. he started to rejoice and shouting like he was happy for what he had done to this s h la" that is disgusting and it is still going on.

on monday two 15-year-old killed and shot at apple store. so if they can terrorize them s mall in buckhead, which is one of the most surveilled places in the entire city, what can they do to neighborhoods? they can terrorize it and they are. they are attacking the people residential streets in buckhead. watch this report fox 5 in atlanta. after two crimes in their buckhead neighborhood. atlanta police saturday a man with a gunshot wound on west wesley road. investigators say a man and two others shot at while jogging. hours later on saturday, atlanta police say they found a man severely injured on the scene. >> he did, in fact, strike an individual taking out the trash. >> atlanta police arrested the suspect shortly after the crime. now, investigators are working to figure out a possible motive. >> tucker: the man who was shot

jogging on saturday is -- you should know there is no back story. he didn't know the guy that shot him, but he was just jogging on the weekend like a good citizen and a guy pulled up and opened fire. why? the 911 call is difficult to listen to it, but you should listen to it to understand precisely what keisha bottoms has done to buckhead. here is the call. >> help, help! >> hello, caller? >> is this a house or apartment? >> i'm on the street, and i got shot. >> is the gunman still nearby? >> i don't know. he drove away. >> are you seriously bleeding? >> yes, i'm bleeding. i've been shot. >> tucker: he was shot. plus, something similar to valerie casper on a trail in t brookhaven in buckhead.

she was stabbed four times in the back by a total stranger in broad daylight walking on a trail.ra casper was pregnant with her second child at the time, and she was forced to deliver her baby more than three months earlier because she was stabbed by a stranger. why was she stabbed? these aren't robberies. the only thing was physical injury and terror with brutality. the victims appeared to be purely judged by how they look.t don't call these hate crimes that is not allowed. you can't say that. privately, many people in buckhead suspect that is exactly what's going on. e they have been attacked by reckless politician for years. politicians have ginned up hatred of buckhead for political reasons. so why wouldn't others take them seriously?ne why wouldn't shootings and stabbings be the end result of that? people in buckhead have had enough of this and they don't think it will get better. two bills would allow buckhead to leave the city and run its own competent police department and resume it to be safe in the place. cnn for one hates this idea. cnn headquarters in atlanta has been for 40 years and they know

exactly what is going on in the city. they don't care.er you don't like getting shot while jogging? you are a racist! >> the mostly white neighborhoot of buckhead is pushing to separate from the rest of the city. cnn ryan young has more from atlanta. >> the buckhead exploratory committee reported they raise a half million and pushing state lawmakers to push through a bill to allow their city to pay attention to be voted on in the next election. two predominantly white neighborhoods is gaining traction with republican lawmakers. >> tucker: oh, are you following this? did you get the dog whistles? predominately white so if you are getting murdered outside of the cheesecake factory, you are -- here is the funny thing they don't mean it.ge how do you know they don't mean it? take a look how they live. how many cnn anchors including the ones you saw -- right around zero, not one.ma

and to fundd the hamptons friday afternoon. in other words, their spare time they get a far away from diversity as they can. not just some of them, all of them, every one of them. that is the truest generalization ever made. a recent piece to put the final post describes how the liberals from new york flooded into the suspect in a state of montana. bill gates has been camping out in the big sky recently. them have. why? it is not the fly-fishing. bill gates could not catch a fly rod, no it is not that. the appeal was the neighbors.. outside of the indian reservation, montana and the demographics of 1956 in america. everyone looks the same.19 it is not a melting pot. so no, rich do not believe diversity is our strength. they hate it so much that the first sign of spray paint they

run for the whitest hill they can find. and work you are the racistf because you don't like getting shot outside of the cheesecake factory. that is how it works. bill white joins us tonight bill, thank you for coming on and being brave enough to do that. w tell us what buckhead is like now and why you think it should be independent from the city. >> well, first of all, thank you, tucker for having us on. i was listening to your opening monologue, and i can tell you we will need you to come down here and take you on the road with us. you have hit all the key points. we are living in a war zone. that is how we describe living in buckhead. and what has happened here in the last several years is incredibly dangerous spike in crime. and a complete vacuum of leadership. the police in atlanta are great police men and women. we love them here. they just want to do their job.sh they are not being allowed to do that.

so buckhead and the beautiful families are a very diverse community, and we, in fact, are the most diverse community in all of atlanta. we have decided to file for divorce. and the divorce is final! and what we are saying to thedi city of atlanta is we are going to form our own city. we have two bills in the state legislature. we have raised the requisite amount of money we need right now to move this forward. there will be a ballot initiative on the ballot next november. and we are going to take our city back for the great families of buckhead once and for all. some of the people asked us what are we going to do differently, tucker? how is a buckhead city police department going to do anything differently? and i think your great team, i sent a video in, and i don't know if there is time to show it. but this video is horrifying. it shows a white car driving past a mercedes-benz truck. they are shooting out of a car

at a passersby on the far road and they are shooting and shooting and one of the bullets comes right through the truck and hits one of the people walking. and you can see is the car drives by, there are two blue lights shimmering off of that reflection on the truck.k. you know what those are? those are two atlanta police officers in a parked cars with their lights on. my friend who took that ran down to find out why in god's name they didn't chase that person who attempted to murder all those people? and they were told mayor bottoms told them not to chase cars around atlanta because she doesn't want the police getting in accidents. all those people shot, two police right there wanted to go do service and put the smackdown on the murderer. >> tucker: the same people who

lecture us on democracy which is if i can just remind them self-government, the right control your own government. those people are now suggesting you don't have a right or you are immoral not tove want to lie under people like keisha bottoms, who should be ashamed of herself. >> brian: tucker, that almost you know, racist and this and that and the other thing, all hateful, very disturbing unhelpful language that is fearmongering. that will not stop the crime in buckhead. what will stop the crime is the establishment of the buckhead city police department. we plan on having 300 police officers for a long period of time. there are only 82 cops in buckhead right now with the square footage of san francisco that has 2,000 cops. one of the things we are

positive of, we will put the smackdown on crime once and for all and make buckhead a great place to live again where you can go to the mall and not get shot taking a jog. this poor woman you had on eliana, she is so courageous pediatric nurse and they punched her in the face and the guy was out on three different batteries. >> tucker: what you are doing is modeling for the rest of the country. people don't have to put up wita this. it is not wanting to be shot at the mall. and every american has the right to want that and work for it, i think. n bill, thank you so much for coming on. >> thank you, tucker, god bless you, sir.ht >> tucker: inside the wuhan institute of virology proves that a key part of the story that we have been told with a straight face for moreey than a year is a lie. and there is footage that wed will show to you now.mo ♪ ♪ lives of six million jews

reckless experiments with virology in china. and he claimed that no bats were kept in the lab in december and no baths were sent to the wuhan lab. we collect bat samples and sent them to the lab and release where we catch them! is that true? well, thanks to the footage from australia, we know it is a lie. >> it is not a conspiracy to say that there were live bats at the lab, it is a fact.er as you can see, this video shows bats in a cage at the wuhan institute.en you can also see there are a researcher with a bat with a worm. and we can see researchers capturing bats and a bat off of a researcher's hat. and it in another image, there are house cages, hundreds of them.

we know that the wuhan institute was using immunized bats for experience to see which one could infectee humans.g >> tucker: yeah, a bat hanging off of his hat, okay. the footage also shows that officials in the wuhan lab are very aware that something could go badly wrong. >> [speaking foreign language] >> tucker: sharry markson with sky news australia is the author of the upcoming book "what really happened in wuhan" and she joins us. thank you for coming on and thanks to this amazing tape where did this footage come from? >> this was an official chinese academy of science video for the launch of the may of 2017 and this underground team of detectives that call themselves

drastic who had been investigating the origin of the virus that managed to unearth this video after all of this time. as you say, it shows that much more of what we have been told about the origin of the pandemic from the very beginning was chinese disinformation, which was then propagated by many people who had been working in conjunction with the wuhan institute of virology and compromised in extreme conflicts of interest. as you just showed, people insisted it was a conspiracy theory. he used the term in december 2020, it was a conspiracy theory to say there were bats in the lab. he is an w.h.o. world healthth organization investigator who went in earlier this year. it was completely false. this new footage shows that there were bats being kept in the wuhan institute of virology and he has had to admit

and correct. >> tucker: what is amazing is he had financial conflicts of interest on this topic. he was involved in this. this bat video, many must have seen it before.pl why has it taken more than a year to learn the basic facts? >> i mean there is so much that he and the w.h.o. team did not ask when they went into wuhan. they didn't ask if there were bats. they did not ask where the virus was. this is such a mutual thing. the database with some 15,000 or 17,000 that sample suddenly disappeared from the internet in september 2019 just prior to the outbreak of covid-19.

the w.h.o. team didn't ask what happened to that database. the people, went in and supposedly investigated this were riddled with -- anthony fauci should not advise the president on the origin of the coronavirus given it was his organization that funneled money through a subgrant to the wuhan institute of virology. he can issue all of the denials that he likes, but they will find within nih, gain of r function manipulated the coronavirus in wuhan and it was funded by nih. >> tucker: to this day tony fauci has never been indicted. he is not sitting in solitary like january 11th. sharry, i appreciate your work on this. i look forward to your work thank you. >> thank you so much, tucker. >> tucker: so as just noted virtually everything told during the pandemic about where the virus came from and how we should respond to it turned out to be false. one of the biggest lies early on and andrew cuomo wasn't causing thousands of deaths in nursing homes.

social security just cataloguing the lies. a great job with the author of "charade", and we are happy to have david marcus on tonight. thank you for coming on. this is a book for discussion but one of the biggest ones. >> i think cuomo is one of them. it is sickening to watch all the lives he cost and knowing what he did to the city that i love along with de blasio. but the lies are narrated from the beginning.k it is a lie that the trumpok administration wasn't doing anything in january.is they were working on a vaccine and testing npp much before china reported a single death. the infection fatality rate was a lie even early april from a doctor and vastly lower than what the world health organization was telling us with sort of chinese sponsored fearmongering. so much of the masking debate was a lie. good, solid information was

simply being suppressed and not being told to the american people. it was obviously a lie in the beginning. you can't catch covid at blm rally, but you can't have an outdoor church service. all of these were lies. quite frankly, i could have saved myself a lotso of work abt writing about the true things we heard about the coronavirus and the lockdowns, but my friend that would be a very short short book. >> tucker: you spent many months collecting all of this thinking it through organizingnn it, but what affect did you have one your view and the peoples wo run the country, and what are they now having sifting through all this information? >> i mean, it was shocking. it was really shocking to cover the story and writing a book at the same time. and seeing people in october and november pretending like they had never said things that they blatantly said in march and april. there is myriad examples of that in the book. it was all over the place.

and really, the big tech lies. one of the reasons i wanted to write this book in print, even though that is 15th century technology is mark zuckerberg can't slip into your house and change the words of my book, at least not yet. and i'm worried five or ten years from now when myrc 11-year-old son goes online to find out what happened, they will still be fed those lies. i hope that is paranoia, but iit don't think it is. >> tucker: it's not paranoia at all, but the story with unintended consequences of5 vaccines is a true story i found out conclusively. so i don't think you are paranoid. david marcus, congratulations on the book.t thanks.or >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: so on january 6th that was the day that pearl harbor, 9/11 but actually only one person was shot to death that day. that person an unarmed air force

>> tucker: so within hours literally within hours of the riot at the capitol on january 6, the organized course of propaganda begin telling us again, unison choreographed vote we had seen, not about the election stolen from them but overacted what really happened but instead, a group of cueing qanon white supremacists attempting to overthrow the u.s. government, insurrectionist more dangerous than isis. this was worse than 9/11. this was worse than pearl harbor and they said this. but the amazing thing is thatse that claim totally separated

from reality saying it actually was internalized, not just buy a lot of the population but by republican leaders. a lot of republican leaders. as a result of that in the months they've not asked those basic questions what actually happened that day. here is first among them who are the only person who was actually shot to death that day was a protester called ashli babbitt.. she was shot and killed in the capitol january 6th. here is an amazing thing, we still don't know who shot her. and we don't know why. no one has ever explained and no one has been forced to explain. that is the key. aaron babbitt is the husband of ashli babbitt. he is suing to find who shot her.xp he is joined by the the babbitt family lawyer, carol roberts. thank you for coming on. first, thank you for coming on. i am sorry my genuinely sorry what happened to your wife. who shot your wife on january 6th? do you know? >> i don't know. somebody knows.ou somebody in d.c. know and i

think a lot of people know, but nobody is telling us. and the silence is deafening. >> tucker: i mean, you are an american citizen. did you know in this country you can be shot to death by a government employee and no one explains who did it or why? did that occur to you before january 6th? >> no, no, no thatat never occurred to me and for the more i never expected my wife to be a part of political violence n so. >> tucker: i have to ask, how did you feel about seeing her characterized the way you have? how do you feel about the total lack of interest in her death? >> it sickens me to hear what people say about ashli. there has never been a person ashli ran across in her daily life that didn't love her and wouldn't remember her in some way, shape, or form for the rest of their life. but this is a game. this is the social mediay,

craziness that people just run with a theory and just take off with it. you know, it is up to us. it is up to us and the ones who love her and people like you for not ging up on it. so i appreciate that, tucker. t >> tucker: in my case, it is not politics and i mean that. cops shoot people all the time and i think it is often justified and i've said that but who did it and why, and let me ask you, there have been reports online, it seems credible, but i don't know if it is true. but the capitol hill police officer who shot ashli babbitt was the same officer who left his loaded handgun in a public men's room on the capitol. do you believe that is the same officer? it seems like a reckless person who shot and killed ashli babbitt on january 6th. >> that is my belief. that is my belief. >> tucker: so if it turns out that she was shot for reasons again, they have not explained

to us, by a capitol police f officer who left a loaded handgun in a public men's room do you think that is why they are hiding his identity? >> i don't know. one of the reasons they are hiding his identity, they don't have a good affirmation of the shooting. i think if ashli babbitt had been brandishing a firearm and she was shot here, the officer would be identified byth now and pinning a medal on him. so i don't think we have an explanation for the shooting and why they have not identified. >> tucker: by the way, if she was brandishing a firearm, i that justified. aaron, one last question to you. you're an american citizen. has a politician reached out to you to say, i will find out who killed your wife? >> congressman darrell issa. >> tucker: good. >> he was confused why he was

calling me because he was not my congressman. my business is in his district but i never heard from the congressman who supposedly represents me in san diego. >> tucker: maybe someone can get on that. an american citizen is dead. if you act like it is a small thing, i think we are all in trouble. aaron and roberts, thanknk you r coming on tonight. i appreciate it. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: all the debates right now are about identity. who i am, let's talk about me.ha we are so deep in the well of narcissism that it is pitchut black, and we can't see what we are doing. as we talk about ourselves without seizing, the economy is taking a turn. neil ferguson has noticed this. he's one of the world's leading historians of the economy. we talked to him at great length why this is. why are we not talking about something that matters as much as this? you will hear from him next. ♪ ♪
