that's a great question. ej from oregon. jesse, just saw "top gun. tom cruise is a winner, and yes, i cried." to i'm always do for a good cry, maybe i will head out tonight and check it out. maybe i will watch tucker instead, he's up next. always were member i'm watters and this is my world. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." it was a week ago today that a deranged teenager murdered 19 children and two teachers in elementary school in texas. you know this because we've had seven days of full saturation coverage and it's all deserved. given that, it's amazing what we still don't know about what happened that day. let's start, just because of the most obvious, with how the shooter could possibly have afforded the firearms he used.

he was 18 years old, he worked part-time at the drive-through at a local wendy's, yet police said he had at least $4,000 of brand-new weapons, including two ar-15 rifles, 1600 rounds of .556 ammunition, a ballistic vest, and 60 magazines. one of his rivals was a high-end model manufactured by a company called daniel defense. according to a receipt that he posted in private message, that gun cost $2,000 and he paid in full. he could have bought effectively the very same rifle at any one store for a third of the cost. but apparently to him, price was no object. that's pretty weird. if police know where he got the money to buy one of the most expensive ar-15s on the market, they are not telling us. nor for that matter have they explained why they lied about the most basic facts of the shooting. for the first 24 hours they told us that a school resource officer fired at the government. he "engaged."

but they must've known at the time they said it that that was not true. they must know the resource officer was not even at the school when he arrived. but they told us otherwise. why did they do that? and by the way, how long was he outside the school firing his gun at people at a nearby funeral home before he went inside and killed children? it seems like a fairly simple question, certainly an important question. last week authorities told us that he was outside the school for 10-12 minutes. here's the claim. >> we got a crash and a man with a gun. and we have responding officers. that's what it is. if it's 12 minutes from 11:30 211:40, that's the information we have. >> tucker: 12 minutes from 11:30 to 11:40. that's the information we have. but that information is clearly wrong because 11:30 to 11:40 is not 10 minutes.

the timeline matters, so what's the real timeline? on friday, the director of texas dps came up with a brand-new timeline. here it is. >> 11:20th, the suspect vehicle crashes into the ditch as previously described. the teacher runs to the room, 132, to retrieve the phone and that same teacher walks back to the exit door at the door remains propped open. 11:33, the suspect begins shooting at room 111, or 112, it's not possible to determine from the video angle that we had at this point in time. >> tucker: so actually -- and that was the director of public safety in texas -- it was only e shooting at people. okay. but here's the key take away from that statement. here's what they want you to believe. the backdoor to the school was open because a teacher at the school left it open after going outside to retrieve a phone. so it's the teacher's fault that he was able to get inside. that's what they said. on friday. but this too appears to be

untrue. the "houston chronicle" is reporting tonight that surveillance footage of the school shows that the teacher slammed the door after running back inside and of course that would make sense since by this point he was firing his rifle, and that same teacher was using the phone in question to make a panicked call to 911. no one disputes that. so why did the authorities tell us otherwise? and for that matter, why did they initially denied that the on scene police commander ordered cops to stand down and remain outside his children were being shot dead inside the school? on thursday, a spokesman for texas dps called that account a rumor, but there was a videotape to show that it was true, it actually happen. so the next day, forced by the videotape, texas dps admitted the rumors were true. watch. >> none at that time.

>> why? >> the on scene commander at the time believed that it had transitioned from an active shooter to a barricaded subject. >> [indiscernible]. >> we are well aware of that. obviously, you know, based upon the information we have, there weren't children in that class and that where risk and it was in fact still an active shooter in that situation and not a barricaded subject. >> tucker: but that's not really an excellent nation of course, because no one disputes that everyone on the scene, including police, knew that he had weapons, was firing them at people to kill people and was inside the school with children. no one disputes that. so why did heavily armed police

units decide not to stop a sailboat or executing children? if not finger pointing to ask that question, these are comp located circumstances and people make mistakes. but we are making long-term poly decisions based on the decisions that happened last week in uvalde. politicians are calling for militarizing america's entry schools and get they can't answer what the military force effectively outside this elementary school refused to stop the killing. so this massacre could have been prevented at some point. it was not prevented. why was that? we should know the answer. but don't hold your breath. no one in power seems anxious to hold themselves accountable for what happened in uvalde. and amazingly -- and this is so perverse it's hard to believe it's true, but it is -- some seem determined to make future school shootings more likely. in california, the state assembly just voted to end the

requirement, the long-standing requirement that was put in place after school shootings, that schools alert law enforcement when students "attack, salt, or physically threaten school officials." that's no longer in place, and according to the democratic party, that's a win for equity. if we know this because the sponsor of the bill, a california state senator, stephen bradford, said so. here's what he told "the daily caller." "black students, latinx colors, students of color and student of disability's are disproportionately referred to law-enforcement, cited, and arrested." so too many latinx students in wheelchairs are apparently being blamed for school shooting so there is no more violence in california school's at all. how does that help prevent the next school shooting? it doesn't. but it starts to sing with helping prevent school shootings is not really the point of this exercise, amassing more power is the point. and we know this from what's happening north of us.

canada's botox dictator justin trudeau wasted no time using the tragedy in the u.s. to his own political advantage in canada. uvalde is more than 2,000 miles from ottawa but because of what he was allowed to do in texas, canadians are no longer allowed to protect themselves. justin trudeau has introduced a bill that would ban canadian citizens from buying, selling, and transferring handguns within their own country. handguns were not the cause of the shooting in uvalde. uvalde is nowhere near canada, and yet justin trudeau is using that tragedy to disarm anyone who disagrees with him. by the way, that law would empower courts to confiscate guns from people, even if they not committed a crime. watch justin trudeau announce this power grab and as you do watch, pay special attention to the masked toadies behind him nodding in unison. >> we are introducing legislation to implement a national freeze on handgun

ownership. what this means is that it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer, or import handguns anywhere in canada. in other words, we are capping the market for handguns. [applause] >> tucker: was actually happening here is that people are justin trudeau know that their rule is illegitimate, they know perfectly well how resented they are, and they spent an awful lot of time thinking about civil unrest. you probably don't. you live in a democracy, so you don't imagine that anyone needs to be disarmed for political reasons, but people like justin trudeau and feel the deep resentment in them and they are fully intent on disarming the population. we reached out to justin trudeau's office today about this new law, we wanted to know if you will apply these laws to himself. that's always the first and most important test of sincerity, if it's good for me, it ought to be

good for you too and vice versa. so in this case, will justin trudeau's state-funded bodyguards beaver be really crushing their handguns, and how about their band ar-15s? we are not allowed to know that answer because we -- "we do not comment on matters related to the prime minister's security," they respond, which means of course not. he's not that stupid, he will continue to protect, protect his own family, you will just not be allowed to protect yours in canada. aaron united states, the democrats are watching very carefully what he is up to as they plan our future here. already the rhetoric of the democratic party has changed. for years democrats, joe biden, the media, have talked about banning ar-15s, the so-called weapons of war, which are not in fact used by any military but weapons of war has been there focus. watch. >> president biden: the venom of the haters and their weapons of war. >> assault style weapons that are weapons of war.

>> and purchase these weapons of war. >> to get these weapons of war. >> finally ridding our streets of weapons of war. >> what we should be doing is taking these weapons of war out of the hands of civilians. >> because they see with these weapons of war due on the street. >> an assault weapon is a weapon of war. with no place, no place in a civil society. >> tucker: they wouldn't know what ends the bullet comes out of. they know nothing about this topic. if they don't even know the basic crime stats. in the united states, rifles killed fewer people every year than for store knives do. the snow effort afoot to ban knives or fists but weapons of war have long been there focus, meaning ar-15s, the single most popular self-defense rifle in the united states. self-defense is the point. on sunday, congressman adam kinzinger has decided, and says it out loud, that in order for him to feel safe, we are going to need to confiscate your rifle. if because he feels unsafe.

watch. >> congressman, you do still oppose a ban on the kind of assault weapons that were used in the shooting. can you expand my private citizens need weapons of war? >> look, i have opposed a ban, you know, fairly recently. i think i'm open to a ban now. >> tucker: can you explain, congressman, why private citizens need weapons of war? cnn anchors need to be surrounded by bodyguards with weapons of war because they are important, but you and your family, no. you don't need weapons of war. for years it's been about the ar-15, but things are changing. joe biden is now calling for a ban on the ubiquitous 9-millimeter round. watch this. >> president biden: a 9-millimeter bullet, those belong out of the body. so the idea that these high caliber weapons -- there is simply no rational for in terms

of about self protection, hunting. and remember, it's not the second moment, it's never absolute. you couldn't buy a canon when the second amendment was bad. >> tucker: there's a guy who can't even recognize his own wife of 40 years in public lecturing us about with the rational basis is for this. "the recent when a rational basis for the 9-millimeter round in terms of self protection." of course the opposite is true. if the 9-millimeter is the main self protection round in the united states, along with the .556, at the round used in the ar-15. both of them are small rounds. people use them to protect their families, and if you take them away, americans will no longer be able to defend themselves in the middle of a crime wave that was wholly manufactured by the same people who are trying to strip your guns from me. and that's of course the point. this is a power grab, and you can be certain that it is a power grab and not an effort to make this a safer country

because the people were calling for it are exempting themselves from its requirements once again. that is the acid test. if you are for a law, will it apply to you? to michael limburg's bodyguards carried the dreaded 9-millimeter, do they have high-capacity magazines? did nancy pelosi's body guards, but what you pay for, do mitch mcconnell's bodyguards carry those rounds? we wanted to know, why wouldn't we want to know, why don't we have the right to know? so we emailed all three of their offices today. like justin trudeau's office, none of them even replied to -- bother to reply to us. i was there they won't be disarming their own bodyguards. they will keep their own weapons of war in the meantime they will continue to pass legislation against weapons they know nothing about. they've been doing this for decades. we did a documentary on this, actually, and we spoke to probably the person who knows more about self defense weapons than any living american, one of

the most popular figures on youtube and truly an expert on the use of firearms for self-defense. here's part of what he told us. >> and of course it is the famous tucker carlson barrel shroud on it. >> hickox 45 is referring to congressman carolyn mccarthy of new york, who famously didn't understand the firearm she was trying to ban. >> do nota barrel shroud is? >> i actually don't know what a barrel shroud -- >> senior legislator. >> so a barrel shroud makes rifle more deadly? >> shrouds that barrel. >> a lot of what people come up with, they do not know firearms, they just do not like them, they hate them, they are looking for reasons to hate them and they don't know anything about the cartridges. a bullet is dangerous, let's face it. a hammer, chainsaw, a ladder, a car. they are potentially dangerous. >> tucker: he joins us now. we are happy to have him.

thanks so much for coming on. so it seems like the rhetoric has changed if the president and people around him are now calling for banning 9 millimeters ammo and the rounds used in the ar-15. that prints most americans from defending themselves, does it not? >> hi, tucker. well, yes, it is the most common, as you said. it's the most common cartridge probably on the planet, certainly in the united states as well as .556, extremely common and like -- light recoiling, very popular for target shooting, planking, it and the .556, the ar round, which is actually fairly light recoiling. and not considered powerful enough even for deer hunting. i think in a lot of states. so there you go. i would like to say also before we proceed, the event in texas

is just -- rips your heart out as a former medical school teacher for over 25 years, it really is unimaginable, for a lot of people say that of how you can even -- it's on thinkable. we hear a lot -- it really is, it truly is, because you get so close to those kids in the classroom, and so whether you are a gun owner or not, it's just horrible. >> tucker: but what's interesting, we always get the benefit of the doubt to law enforcement, i think too few do, but this does seem like a case where we could learn something really important from the action and the failure to act by law enforcement on the scene, but we are blowing right past that and trying to take guns out of your closet. why do you suppose we are not learning the real lessons here? >> i don't know. almost makes you want to put your tinfoil hat on, doesn't it? and i'm not one for conspiracies, really, but these days, who knows.

the thing that really bothers me is through the years the antigunners, they have refused to really assist and get the schools protected, if the schools hardened, get the law enforcement officers in there, get the schools protected. first priority -- this is for eight or ten years, they should have had this done by now. they'd rather focus on the firearms, inanimate objects. that's where they want all their clout going to ban guns and all the rhetoric and meanwhile the schools are not protected. they should have been protected by now. you can't protect against every eventuality, but you can certainly make a lot of progress, and they just ignore that, seemingly. >> tucker: i want to be as fair as possible. the state of california has ended the requirement to report to law enforcement students who make violent threats. can you think of any legitimate reason to do that if you wanted

to reduce the number of school shootings, why would you do that? >> exactly. a very good point, because you see comments online occasionally. think about in today's environment, who would be silly or crazy enough to make a comment or a violent threat, anything related to hurting people with or without a firearm in a public forum to where people could hear you? you either are crazy, or you -- or planning to do something, you know? they need to look into that. >> tucker: yeah, i would say. thank you, great to see it's on. >> good to see you, thanks. >> tucker: so if you were to judge what's happening the white house by joe biden's public comments, you would suspect pretty chaotic behind the scenes. it turns out, that's not even the half of it. a new report described the

white house as rife with managerial breakdowns, meaning it's total lunacy inside. we got details coming up. that's not the only crisis facing the said administration, gas prices have broken records over memorial day weekend, higher than you ever thought they could go and they are continuing to climb, we got details. ♪ ♪

not anymore. here's a line from nbc. "biden is rattled by his thinking approval ratings. there are signs of managerial breakdowns at the white house." nbc also reports that biden's fear is that his aides keep walking back his demented comments. "biden was curious his remarks were being seen as unreliable." i wonder why! as he repeatedly declares war on various countries, and that's just the beginning. politico, no publication has sucked up to biden harder than politico, but politico is reporting that the biden white house is awash in malignant white super messy. are you surprised? not really, of course. "at least 21 black staffers have left the biden white house since late last year or are planning to leave soon. sources blame the "work environment," in other the racism of the biden administration. things have gotten very bad for joe biden, both public facing and internally. what are they doing about it? well, they broke glass in case of emergency and invited a

black americans -- first and foremost, what's happening first and foremost is they are waking up to black lives matter. you have these black americans that were quite literally just given these conditions, they weren't meant to do anything, they never wanted them to actually do anything, they probably were underqualified for the positions that they even had but the idea was what, where getting on her knees literally if you're nancy pelosi, to the black lives matter narrative, she did that notorious bow, got down on one knee, and we are going to do this at show that we are going to hire a bunch of black people but we don't actually care what they think, we just need them to sit there and be black. now the black americans in the white house are waking up and going you know what, that's not okay with me, and they're frantically searching to drum up a new it narrative of hate and this one is going to be asian american, asian lives matter, quick, grabbed me k5 and hopefully america is going to fall for this when in reality, the gas prices, the inflation prices that it's just an absolute and complete joke. >> tucker: is there anything more destructive than white liberal guilt? it feels like it's hurt more

people than nuclear weapons. >> it really has. and people are starting -- even patrice colors, the person who started black lives matter, basically said if not my fault that you guys gave me her white guilty dollars and i lied about what i did with it and bought myself an entire real estate empire, and that's the truth. it's not just black americans that need to have an awakening, it's up white americans, you have to stop allowing people to manipulate you -- hopefully we're going to start to see that as we head into this election cycle. >> tucker: people who hate themselves are not good leaders, weak men and unhappy women, that's the democratic party. great to see you tonight, thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: brett favre, one of the great quarterbacks in nfl history, also a great guy, it turns out. really an interesting person, one of the best games ever played game the day after his father died. brett favre joins us next. ♪ ♪

subsidies for the trans community while also helping to create these permanent supportive housing units for trans and gender nonconforming youth, so if you are transgender, nonbinary, or genderqueer, whatever that actually is, might end up with free housing. she points out the data, showing that lgbt tepe people, particularly youth, are overrepresented in the homeless population. that is certainly true, but it's just a data point that ignores a big chunk as to why they become, or at least stay, homeless. and it's the same reasons that thousands of other people in san francisco are living on the streets tonight. substance abuse and mental health issues. the home was lgbt population is more likely to suffer drug or alcohol addiction and/or suffer from mental health issue. but their lives are no more important than any other homeless person. she could very easily offer more funding to get the homeless people who are currently on the streets regardless of identity into treatment. but she wouldn't win any bonus points for virtue signaling nor which you quell the anger that she caused last week when she

decided she wouldn't march in the gay pride parade because it actually banned officers from appearing in uniform. so perhaps this is one of those ways that she's earning some extra points. >> tucker: is my memory failing? it was about 20 minutes ago when the propaganda told you you don't care -- we don't care who you sleep with a nongovernment age is dependent on your sex life? it is sort of an inversion, isn't it? >> we are not supposed to pay attention to these things but now that's all we are supposed to pay attention to. jason rantz, great to see you. brett favre is one of the great football players of all time, spent 16 seasons at the cornerback of the green bay packers, we talked to him for about an hour for "tucker carlson today." not much about football, talked a lot about his relationship with his father and how his dad motivated him to have one of the best games of his life in death. watch. ♪ ♪

was shuttling false information about trump into the intelligence process, and now we learned for four years after that lie sussmann was in fact operating this secure work environment, so what reason would there be for that, and what leverage with the perkins law firm have over the fbi given this work they are doing together? >> tucker: i know the story to the extent they can will be ignored by the media, and to the extent they can't ignore they will just say this is normal, there good reasons for this. you are an attorney, you served with a lot of other attorneys. this is not normal, correct? >> i have spoken to former federal prosecutors on the judiciary committee and throughout the country and i have not heard any describe a relationship like this with a private law firm, and especially because michael sussmann was an election lawyer. why in the world when an election where the operating this facility in this way? and are concerned is that politically motivated dirt was

being converted into politically motivated investigations, that's why jim jordan and i are making demands for answers on christopher wray immediately, and it's my hope certainly that we shut this facility down. the democratic party shouldn't have this special access, special portal to the fbi, especially knowing what we do now, and that they were often trying to take this opposition research and then use that for law enforcement and counterintelligence purposes. >> tucker: you can't politicize the country's biggest nonperson agency, that's completely third world, and you've borne the brunt of that as we both know. congressman matt gaetz of florida, i appreciate you breaking that story for us to make him a thank you, amazing. >> we will stay on it, thank you. >> tucker: more news after the break. ♪ ♪
