5:00 pm
remember how biden is always saying they don't want me to say this? "they" is president. that is not a pronoun thing. "they" is president of the united states. that is it for us. tucker carlson is up next. we've got a lot of breaking stuff in the pennsylvania senate race, and always remember, i am waters, and this is my world. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: this is a fox news alert, polls have just closed in the commonwealth of pennsylvania, there is a very intense primary underway, republicans. primaries and four other states are wrapping up as well and we'll have the up to the moment election results throughout the night. but first, good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." last night a 17-year-old high school senior called paid in kindred received an assignment in his economics cla, what do you want to do when you retire? he answered, commit murder suicide. the teacher immediately reported
5:01 pm
his threat to authorities, who sent him to the emergency room for a psychiatric evaluation. he was there for just 20 hours, we wrote later in his diary, "i got outed because i stuck with the story that i was getting out of class and i stupidly wrote that down. that is the reason i believe i am so able to purchase guns." but he was lying. 's intention to commit mass murder as he later wrote, "not a joke," i wrote that down because that is what i was planning to do. and he was. he was mentally ill come his classmates knew that, he made for strange face facial expressions pay last year he showed up to school for a full week wearing a hazmat suit. boots, gloves, everything, recalled another student beard police and school administrators understood perfectly well that gendron was financially dangerous. that is why they sent him to the psych ward. even his own parents must have known something is very wrong. >> jesse: anyone's diary describes how his mother helped him bury a cat he had beaten to death in a garage and then beheaded with a hatchet.
5:02 pm
on saturday, peyton gendron finally did what he said he would do come he committed mass murder from opening fire on a crowd of strangers in a buffalo supermarket and murdered ten of them. so how did the adults around him let this happen? in a country with functioning leadership, we would be asking that question. the science of mental illness were certainly there. the people in charge missed those signs and didn't take them seriously enough, weren't paying close enough attention. in any case, they didn't fix it, they let a killer slip through. so what did they do wrong with payton gendron and how can we learn from it? we should learn from it if we want to prevent more mass murders. that is not at all what our leaders are asking tonight, hardly. instead, they are asking the only question that ever occurs to them: how exactly can i benefit from this? how can i leverage this tragedy to my advantage? how can other people suffering make me more powerful? it didn't take long for joe biden to find a way. biden flew to buffalo this morning to speak about what
5:03 pm
payton gendron did. there had been a number of mass murderers since biden became president, some racially motivated purely little over a year ago, there was a supermarket massacre that happened to have the same casualty total. a syrian born man murdered ten people in boulder, colorado, and even use the same caliber rifle that payton gendron fought to buffalo. but joe biden did not bother to know my flight to that -- he flew to buffalo to blame his political opponents there. watch. >> heads of state asked me, what is going on? what in gods name happened on january 6? what happened in buffalo? they ask. >> tucker: january 6th and the buffalo massacre. so how is a political protest at the capitol related to a murder spree by a demented teenager in new york state over the weekend?
5:04 pm
what do those two events have in common and who are these unnamed heads of state who are connecting these nonconnected events in conversation with joe biden? you may have wondered that but don't ask because it is not meant to be asked, is a rhetorical device meant to connect everything that might challenge joe biden and a bunch all these things together in the same repulsive moral category. january 6th, mass murder, bubonic plague, it is all the same at all bad and because it is bad, joe biden foreign us today, after 250 years, we are going to have to suspend the bill of rights and we begin where the bill of rights begin, with the freedom of speech. speaker you can't prevent people from being radicalized, but we can address the relentless exploitation of the internet to recruit and mobilize terrorist groups. >> tucker: the relentless exploitation of the internet to recruit and mobilize terrorism. okay. can anyone show, has anyone ever
5:05 pm
shown that this specific case, payton gendron was "recruited and mobilized" by the internet? no, in fact, his own account, he was mentally ill. he snapped. he had been planning this for a long time. he did what his diseased brain commanded him to do. the internet did not make him do it, he did it himself. even if gendron had been "radicalized" by what he read on the internet, what then come exactly? many have been radicalized. pol pot was radicalized by reading dos capital, killed more than a million people, should we ban that book, ban all books come all internet sites that "radicalized" people? what exec is joe biden saying here? he is saying thanks to what happened in buffalo over the weekend, you no longer have any rights at all, including the most basic which is to read what you want. after nullifying the first amendment, joe biden moved to the second amendment. >> the venom of the haters and their weapons of war, the
5:06 pm
violence and the words and that stock our streets come our stores, our schools, this venom, this violence cannot be the story of our time, but there are certain things we can do. we can't keep assault weapons of our streets, we have done it before. >> tucker: so because a mentally ill 18-year-old used a specific rifle to commit these crimes, you can't have that rifle. joe biden's bodyguards can have that rifle, so can nancy pelosi's commit of course they do, in fact, you pay for it all, but they are important and you are not, so you can't. because the people in charge failed to protect shoppers in buffalo, you are not allowed to protect your family even though your family might be every bit as important as joe biden and nancy pelosi and their families. but they are not as important. so we are going to defund the police and disarm you, that is how it works, i'm sorry. and then joe biden got to the
Check
5:07 pm
main point of his speech which was that people who criticize his immigration policies are responsible for the violence you saw in buffalo. here is the president of the united states explaining that. >> the hate that through the media and politics and the internet has radicalized angry, alienated, lost, isolated individuals, and into falsely believing that they will be replaced -- that is the word, replaced by the other. and i condemn those who spread the lie or power, political gain, and for profit. >> tucker: so you lock the country down, lock kids out of their schools for two years, force them to get "educated" on the internet, but it is someone else's fault that they are "alienated?" they have been hearing about the great replacement theory. you've heard a lot about the great replacement theory recently. it is everywhere in the last two days and we are still not sure exactly what it is.
5:08 pm
here's what we do know for a fact. there is a strong political component to the democratic party's immigration policy. we are not guessing this. we know this. and we know it because they have said so. they said it again and again and again. they have written books on it and monographs and magazine articles, they have bragged about it endlessly and talked about it on cable news constantly, and they say out loud, we are doing this because it helps us to win elections. that is not something said once, it is something they have gloated about again and again and again, and we think that is wrong, and in case you doubt us, here they are. >> the blue wave is african-americans. it is white, it is latino, asian or pacific islander, it is made up of those who have been told that they are not worthy of being here. it is comprised of those who are documented and undocumented. >> a couple of presidential cycles, you will be on election night, announcing that we are calling the 38th electoral votes in texas for the democratic nominee for president, it is
5:09 pm
changing, it is going to become a purple state and then a blue state because the demographics. >> the demographics of america are not on the side of the republican party. the new voters in this country are moving away from them. and instead, they are moving to be independents or even vote on the other side. >> and unrelenting stream of immigration, nonstop, nonstop. folks like me, who are caucasian, of european descent, for the first time in 2017 we will be an absolute minority in the united states of america. absolute minority. fewer than 50% of the people in america, from then and on, will be white, european stock. that is not a bad thing. that is the source of our strength. >> tucker: [laughs] so you can play clips of them saying it and you are the deranged conspiracy not! may be the funniest part is they
5:10 pm
may not be right. the democratic party has decided that rather than convince you people who are born here that their policies are helping you in making the country better and stronger, they will change the electorate. again, they say that. we are not guessing. but the funniest part is they may be wrong, actually, judging by recent polling. turns out your average salvadoran landscaper politics are a lot lesser to donald trump's than they are to joe biden and jensen nancy pelosi's. their calculation may be completely wrong. that is not the point, the not the race and ethnicity. has to do with two things. one, the purpose of the u.s. government to serve u.s. citizens. period and two, you should never craft any federal, which is just a nationwide policy, in order to help a specific political party. that is by itself in isolation and moral. does not matter what the policy is. and that is exactly what they are doing. and again, they prank about it, not just democratic party
5:11 pm
politicians, virtually every media figure on the left has been bragging about this for decades. oh, it is a conspiracy theory. really? yours anna navarro from her time as a harvard fellow and this is what she wrote, "the demographiy will grow in numbers and influence, much of under the influence of hallucinogens," -- that piece is called old white straight male voters ain't what they used to be, and quote. if you don't want people to be paranoid and angry, maybe don't write pieces like that and rub it in their face and give them the finger day after day. maybe de-escalate a little bit, you think, joe biden, anna navarro? they are not the only two, this has been the prevailing view on the left for a long time, a political piece from 2013, we could go on for hours, "immigration reform could be a finance for democrats. the democratic party are "pumping as many as 11 million
5:12 pm
new hispanic voters into the electorate a jacket and now that could induced in --" as noted, that calculation may be completely wrong. a lot of people the democrats are importing may wind up being deeply sympathetic to the other party because they are actually not white liberals, that is the secret, but it almost does not matter how they vote, thinking about politics in those terms is immoral, that is wrong, but gaming the system, not democracy, the opposite and they bragged about it for more than a decade. another example from 2013. the center for american progress announced that "supporting real immigration reform that contains a pathway to citizenship is the only way to maintain electoral strength in the future. oh, great replacement theory anyone? these people are lunatics. they are telling you what their strategy is.
5:13 pm
when you note it, they scream at you and call you a criminal. 2018, "the new york times" published an editorial called "we can replace them." [laughs] just in case subtlety is not your thing. right now, america is tearing itself apart, and embittered whiteman unserved and minority swamped. wrote this, "demographic changes will harm republicans for years to come. demographics is destiny." are you allowed to say that? once again, they are wrong and if you have not looked at an electoral map recently, -- you are wrong, the fact you're seeing demographics is destiny tells you the great replacement theory is coming from the left. they do not think it is a theory, they think it is real.
5:14 pm
2021, "the washington post" jen rubin celebrated a report the number of white people in this country is declining. can you imagine? "this is fabulous news," she wrote, now we need to prevent minority white rule." my god, talking like that. is there any more divisive thing you could write? we can give you a million more examples. we are offended by this because it is wrong and we said so. but for saying so, according to carl cameron on msnbc today, we should be thrown in jail. watch. >> you've got to watch out because the republicans have become the purveyors of misinformation, and when a two-party system is broken like that, democracy is seriously in trouble. the president acknowledged that. it is time to actually start building things and may be taking some names and putting people in jail. >> tucker: taking some names and putting people in jail. hmm, who were those people be? well, thanks to a senate might majority leader chuck schumer of
5:15 pm
new york we know, send a letter to the boss is a fox news blaming the show for the mass murder in buffalo is sell as other mass shootings in recent years, according to chuck schumer, this show spreads dangerous rhetoric and needs to be pulled off the air immediately in the name of public safety. again, chuck schumer is a federal official and a lean democrat in united states senate. there was a time 18 months ago that would have been considered a direct violation of the first amendment. we hear it every day. let's throw them in jail. we wanted to hear more from chuck schumer about this. invited him on the show tonight as we always do but because he is a coward, this is the only media appearance and history has probably turned down. we updated, shall be is a senior fellow at the hoover institution and author of "what killed michael brown" and joins us tonight. thank you for coming on. i think the democratic theory about replacing the electorate is actually wrong. i think they are not getting what they think they are
5:16 pm
getting, which is kind of amusing, but the whole notion is offensive to me. student the purpose of a government be, it's only real purpose is to please and enhance the lives of the people who live there, of its citizens. >> indeed, indeed. they seem to have no more arrows in their waiver to fight with, to struggle with, so they are reduced to sort of scraping around for these tragedies like what happened in buffalo. you can turn from tragedy to power. i think it is ultimately probably always, whatever narrative or scenario grabs power, whether it makes logical sense or not.
5:17 pm
>> but at an awfully high cost. it does feel like the social fabric is really volatile, you can file just walking around, it is really obvious, so into a country like that, to throw something like this and say, see, they hate you so much they will kill you, seems like a pretty reckless thing to say. >> it indeed is. reckless to say. i'm not altogether sure what it is that makes them skip over reality, so happy to skip over reality to these sort of fantasy charges that they make, but that gets us nowhere. at this point, they are almost willing to do anything. they seem to have very minimal scruples about how to move forward in american life at this point. my humble opinion is, i have
5:18 pm
written a good bit about it, one of the great courses -- one of the most powerful forces in american life today is white guilt. and guilt was sort of, you have to seem to be going against your own self interest to gain that expiation that redemption that white guilt seems to long for. and it seems to me they are caught in that. at this point. it is taking us nowhere. you can't resolve guilt. >> tucker: no, you can't. except in church. does seem like organized religion is a much healthier outlet for impulses like that. >> absolutely. that is where the human condition always goes, is to religion, as we should. >> tucker: yes. >> that is one of the reasons it is there and they do that all
5:19 pm
over the world. but the left in america, they are not doing that. they are spitting on another sort of dream vision, dreamscape, to sort of rewrite -- part of the problem i think that has happened to the left is they have no -- they have become exhausted. their ideas have gotten, we have been driven by those ideas now since at least the '60s. they have failed unrelentingly. i mean, they fail with a kind of absolute precision. and that -- that is where they are at. >> tucker: yeah, and there is a nihilism in the face of those failures come i think it is insightful point. shelby steele, i appreciate you coming on. >> thank you. >> tucker: so we heard today from the president, you don't have a right to defend yourself because some lunatic committed
5:20 pm
an atrocity in buffalo over the weekend. defending sacramento for quite some time for me during the start of the reaction to what he heard. thank you so much for joining u. what did you make of the president's remarks today? >> i thought it was ridiculous. put things into context come he keeps talking about this idea of weapons of war and ar-15s and how we need to ban them, but he doesn't mention the fact that in the charleston shooting, the guy used a handgun and he killed nine people there. so at the end of the day, overzealous focus on firearms and what, we should be talking about empowering people to defend themselves when things like this arise because clearly knowing someone is dropping the ball, ensure they get through the system to the point where they actually pick up a gun to do this even though they have the preindicators that tell them you know what, this person has a mental problem that should probably be looked into, allows us to protect ourselves. >> tucker: it was a horrifying interview today with a young woman who was in the
5:21 pm
grocery store, and she crouched down and called 911 and whispered and said there is an active shooter, please come help, and the 911 operator said why are you whispering, because there is a shooter, and woman got so annoyed she hung up on the woman in the grocery store and it sort of reminded you, you can't expect help to arrive immediately. why can't you defend yourself? >> no, you can't. even with the best intentions from the government and police and so on, you are your own first responder. that is just the reality of it. so at the end of the day from that perspective, allow me to have the thing for the most effective tool i need to protect that life because when it comes down to it, when i need something to happen within seconds, help is only going to be minutes away. >> tucker: yeah, and that is the right of self-defense given to you by god, not joe biden come and he can't take that away. colion noir, thank you so much. that come what is the phrase they use, hotly contested senate primary in pennsylvania has
