5:00 pm
adding on to it until you have good information going into the system. the state is helping with that. that's going to be very difficult to congress to make it. >> jesse: ar if you have one beto o'rourke comes and knocks at your door that's what he said he wants to do. >> i don't think he grasps what that means. >> jesse: tucker carlson is up next. have a good night, everybody.
5:01 pm
>> tucker: good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. this is a fox news alert facing almost certain defeat for his party in the midterm elections five months from now, sgrooid has become desperate. he's decided to leverage the murder of 19 children in texas last week for political advances. he just spoke at some length from the white house about the need to disarm the population >> this isn't about taking anyone's rights. about's about protecting children. about protecting families. it's about protecting hole communities. >> to go to school, to a grocery store, to a church without being shot and killed. we need to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines. and if we can't ban assault weapons, then we should raise the age to purchase them from 18-21. strengthen background checks enact safe storage law and red flag laws, repeal the immunity that protects gun manufacturers from liability. address the mental health crisis deepening the trauma of gun violence as a consequence of that violence. these are rational common sense
5:02 pm
measures and if congress fails, i believe this time a majority of the american people won't give up either. i believe the majority of you will act. >> tucker: so to summarize the president's remarks tonight, your constitutional rights are not absolute but in taking them away, we're not actually taking away your rights we're protecting children to which you might ask, am i a threat to children? that question is never answered by the president. the point of this, of course, is to disarm people who did not vote for joe biden, and that is why simultaneous with this, this effort to recategorize the guns in your closet as felonies, democrats have been failing to from gun crimes in our cities where most of the crime is. and if you're at all confused about whether the effort here is selective, that this is enforcement only of certain people, you'll notice the president never mentioned the apparent federal gun felony his own son committed when he lied
5:03 pm
on a federal background form when he bought a handgun. didn't mention that. justice department has completely ignored it. instead, biden's fellow democrats and the house of representatives spent the day debating ways to disarm you, americans who have commit in order crime at all and want only to protect themselves and families. democrats plan to criminalize what they're call large capacity heeding devices, that is specifically any magazine that can hold more than ten rounds of ammunition. as it turns out, that is most magazines in the united states. 10s of millions of americans right now have so-called high capacity magazines in their home. they're not militia members or gun nuts they're normal people. and the reason they have them is because most modern handguns and rifles use that type of magazine, the kind that joe biden is telling you is threatening esoteric. these same firearms, the ones in your house right now will not accept the kind of diminished magazines joe biden is demanding you use. that means in effect all of
5:04 pm
those guns will be banned. which guns specifically? well, of course, the glock 19 probably the most popular. it comes from the manufacturer with a 15-round magazine t glock 19 is not an especially scary firearm, it's a workmanlike pistol. if you have any interest in guns at all you probably already own one. but under this bill the glock 19 would be banned. illegal. a felony sitting in your bedside table and so would many other popular firearms in the united states. this is about saving the children, joe biden just told us but how many lives would this new law save? well, we know the answer. zero. not one. we know that because there's precisely no evidence at all and never has been that larger magazines somehow inspire mass shooting. but of course saving lives is not the point of this. disarming you is the point. florida congressman jeb stuby tried to explained that at a hearing of the house judiciary committee. how did that unfold? >> here's a gun i carry every
5:05 pm
day to protect my wife, my family, my home. comes with a 15 round magazine. here's a seven round magazine which is less which would be lawful if this were to become law. it doesn't fit so this gun would be banned. >> i hope that gun is not loaded. >> i'm at my house, i can do whatever i want with my gun. >> tucker: so you heard a voice in the background. greg obviously knows his way around firearms, that was his gun. but off-camera you heard sheila jackson lee of texas interrupth greg stuby to tell him how to handle a firearm in his own home. is she a gun instructor? what does she know about firearms. she once explained to us that ar-15s shoot 50 caliber rounds and weigh more than, quote, ten boxes, whatever that means. so sheila jackson lee knows literally nothing about by arms and yet she plans, without sham, to regulate them. but only regulate your gun.
5:06 pm
sheila jackson lee has no intention of disarming her own body guards for example, or own constituents. the democrats bill contains an explicit exemption for body guards even she understands they may need more than ten rounds. and washington post american law enforcement officers ubiquitously carry handguns with more than ten rounds and often more than fooerngs often why their rifles carry 30 magazines not ten. why would sheila jackson lee's body guards need all of those bullets? why would anybody need all those bullets as chuck schumer often asks rhetorically and the answer is because it's a dangerous world and if you're serious about protecting the people you love you will be serious about the firearm you carry. we know for a fact now democrats are not serious about protecting you or your family and that's why they defunded your police and called you a racist for
5:07 pm
complaining about it as your city co-latched. what they care about deeply, what they care about anything at all is protecting themselves and that's why their body guards will continue to get any kind of magazine they want. and what they want are high capacity magazines. democrats spent the rest of the day trying to figure out how to ban what joe biden has called ghost guns. ghost guns, they're scary. several states turns out already tried to ban ghost guns but every state has run into the same problem. no one can say what a ghost gun is. it's a made-up term. it has no meaning. as a judge in nevada put it late last year when he struck down a ban on ghost guns, nevada would face the risk of discrumb marry enforcement of prosecutors as they in their sole discretion without guidance could label almost anything an unfinished frame or receiver if it in any way resembles a firearm frame or receiver. in other words any gun could be
5:08 pm
a ghost gun if democrat opttives say it is. that's how they like it. they say a ghost gun is a firearm including parts that does not have a unique serial number engrate by a licensed manufacturer. okay. but the question is, which part of a firearm should require engraved serial number? that's the question. on that question hangs whether or not your possession of this object is a felony or legal. now, according to the bill, any, quote, essential components of the firearm would require an engraved searial number but here's the point, merit garland gets to make the call. this bill grands merrick garland who is a craven and ruthless part sane we know that for a fact grants him the sole authority to define what an essential component is. and if merit garland decides you have an essential component that does not have an engrate serial number, you're going to jail. see how this works. once again the point is not to
5:09 pm
stop school shootings, there's never been a school shooting with a so-called ghost gun. if you were interested in stopping school shootings and all of us should be you would take a look at why they happen in the first place. what do the people who commit them have in common. but no one on the democrat side is doing that. so this isn't an attempt to stop school shootings. it's not an attempt to make this a safer country. this is exactly what it looks like. the beginning of a plan to confiscate and criminalize firearmss in the hands of the law abiden in this country. if you doubt that nancy pelosi has already announced she will introduce legislation banning assault weapons next week. assault weapons, what's an assault weapons, any gun her body guards have that you should not be allowed to have. also a red flag law that would allow the government to seize firearms from anybody it wants whether or not they committed a crime. now, under our current system you have to be convicted in order to be punished but under
5:10 pm
red flag laws if someone doesn't like the cut of your jib you lose your constitutional right. now that's baldly unconstitutional and you know it is because democrats are suddenly talking about packing the score in order to make it law. watch. >> you will not stop us from advancing the protecting our kids act today. you will not stop us from passing it in the house next week, and you will not stop us there. if the filibuster obstructs us, we will abolish it. if the supreme court objects, we will expand it. and we will not rest until we have taken weapons of war out of circulation in our community. each and every day, we will do whatever it takes to end gun violence, whatever it takes. >> tucker: uh-huh. in our communities. really? what's the murder rate in your community, pal, and what exactly have you done to make it better? nothing. mr. jones wants power they all do and to that end he wants to end the filibuster destroy the
5:11 pm
entire judiciary to, quote, end gun violence. a move like that raises a lot of questions, for example, does mondare jones have any idea what he's talking about like the details, because you're a lawmaker. fox's hillary vaughn caught up with him wanting to know what weapons of war he wanted to ban. interesting exchange watch this. >> you mentioned you want weapons of war out of circulation. what is a weapon of war to you. >> assault weapon. assault weapon. >> is that like semiautomatic handguns and rivals. >> semiautomatic weapons would qualify as assault weapons and they should be banned. >> that would take almost every gun out of people's hands. >> that's not true. handguns for example would not qualify under what i just described. i'm sorry. i've got to go. >> okay. >> tucker: so, yes, mondare jones just explained, yeah, all semiautomatic weapons which
5:12 pm
hillary vaughn says handguns, yes, handguns. you want to take people's hands guns away? no that wouldn't qualify as assault weapons even though he just defined it as any semiautomatic weapon. so clearly mondare jones knows what hillary vaughn was trying to tell him that most firearms in this country including most handguns are quote semiautomatic weapons. we don't have 22 calibers that aren't causing a ton of school shootings. but when she points this out he runs away. and probably not back to his district to lower the murder rate. he just didn't want to get into details. so what are we looking at. today a guy onle twitter spike cohen summed it up nicely. the us government has been arming ukraine because they're allies. the us government has been seeking to disarm russia because they're opponents. in totally unrelated news, the us government seeks to disarm you. well, exactly. that's the framing. that's the truth. anyone who tries to disarm you by definition considers you an
5:13 pm
enemy. that's what you do to your enemies. you disarm them. your friends, your allies, your children, people you love. why would you want to prevent them from defending yourselves? you never would. you certainly wouldn't scream at them from the podium about how they're killing children if that's what they want to protect their own family that's what you do to your enemy. yet somehow a lot of republicans specifically in leadership, month come and lindsey graham don't seem to understand this or maybe they do. one who does is congressman greg stuby from florida he joins is right now. thanks for coming on. that was one of the most amazing exchanges i think i've ever seen. you're in your own home and sheila jackson lee tells you to put down the gun. what is this really about? >> well, and she also in that bill they tell you how to store it. joe biden just talked about you have to have a trigger lock so when the person is breaking into your home, make sure you have your key next to you to get your trigger lock off your gun and respond appropriately. i was trying to highlight to the
5:14 pm
american people that this isn't just a magazine ban on rifles. this is every single semiautomatic weapon that takes more than a ten round magazine would be banned, three of which i just happened to have and i showed to make it very clear that a ten round magazine doesn't fit in it so by having the magazine ban you are effectively banning all of these handguns that millions, hundreds of millions of americans use every single day to defends themselves, their families, to protect their home stand. >> tucker: why not make it really simple? why wouldn't congress require that the laws passed restricting and banning handguns apply to their own body guards. if they're sincere if high capacity magazines are dangerous then why should sheila jackson lee's bodyguard get to carry them. >> and cori bush is on that committee and she spends hundreds of thousands of her campaign money every year for body guards and security and i can guarantee they're using the exact same weapon that mrs. jones you just highlighted talked about banning as an assault rifle or assault weapon.
5:15 pm
>> tucker: but why shouldn't the laws apply to the people who make the laws? >> they absolutely should. >> tucker: seems like a fairly solid principle. >> they absolutely should and that's the hypocrisy of the left. of joe biden has all the security, nancy pelosi has all the security, the capitol police have all the security yet they want every day americans like you and me at our homes and businesses as we drive, some of us have concealed carry permits to not be able to use the very weapons that we can utilize to protect our homes, families and loved ones and that's exactly what this is about. >> tucker: time to say no and thank you for doing that. congressman greg steube from florida. >> tucker: a national radio show knows a lot about gun rights joins us tonight. thanks so much for coming on. i'm confused as to why anybody holding off as a republican would even engage on this issue. there is no good faith effort to try to prevent school shootings something that all people want and instead is an effort to
5:16 pm
disarm the law abiding so why are they even playing along with this sha raid? >> that's the million dollar question, tucker and thanks so much for having me, too, by the way. i wouldn't count republicans out of being on the wrong side of that because there's a couple in the senate that seem to think it's okay, red flag laws and the undoing of due process. but you bring up, i mean, the point that should be the focus of everything, which is protection. that's the solution, right? the president of the united states has already said that he is not in support of hardening schools for instance. now he is contradicting the recommendations tucker from the marjory stoneman douglas commission and the sandy hook commission as well. both of those commissions after those horrific tragedies concluded that we need to look at strengthening our school security, multiple layers of protection. we cannot have a serious discussion in this country about stopping these tragedies until we are ready to discuss hardening soft targets. and further more i'll add this. if we're going to use criminal
5:17 pm
usage of legal to own inanimate objects as justification to pen al eyes all lie abiding people then we need to look at how many good law abiding people use firearms to protect themselves every single day. you're looking anywhere between several hundred thousand up to a couple million depending how that lot determines ggu. so that's an important part of this e questions that no one on dc at least on that party's side, they don't want to address that and that's key. >> tucker: and they're exempting themselves from their own restrictions. they should be required to live in the world they created. they made this country incredibly more dangerous than it was five years ago by defunding the police. they fly private, they've got body guards. why shouldn't they live with the consequences of what they did? >> and can i add, tucker, the gun free school zones act, schools have been gun free zones since 1990. if the federal government is going to make it where people can't carry on campus and leave our kids unprotected that's not
5:18 pm
acceptable. if you're going to disarm the people who want to protect those kids then the government needs to step up and put sros in schools. because i'm not the type of mom that's going to stand there and gets face to the ground while nobody goes in there to stop an active chuter. >> tucker: that's for sure. dana loesche good to see you. >> thank you tucker. >> tucker: if you're concerned about so called gun violence and we are as we should be, thousands are shot to death every year mostly in our cities. if that bothered you said, those are your constituents or you're a decent person who cared about human life, then you would do something about the violence where it was occurring. but they're doing the opposite. they're letting gun criminals off in city after city across america. buck sexton has been following this shocking trend, host of the clay tomorrows and buck sexton show happy to have him. thanks so much for coming on. how can you scream about gun violence and then as a matter of policy let gun criminals go?
5:19 pm
>> this all stretches back years now to the end mass incarceration talking points that progressive prosecutors whether krasner, gas cone kim fox, philadelphia, new york city, look at the prosecutors in all these places, they were talking about ending mass incarceration that meant bring down the number number of people overall irrespective of anything out in their county and city prisons and what we've seen on the gun fronts specifically is a lot of diversion program a lot of dropping of the charges. in the case of philadelphia you had more than half last year, and this is on the philadelphia da web site you can go check it out. more than half of prohibited possessers, people previously criminals or not allowed to even have a firearm, they had their cases dismissed entirely. so these are often people that have already had a criminal record that are under no circumstances able to carry a gun, they're carrying a gun illegally and they just make the charge go away. same thing in new york city. our friend joe borelli of staten
5:20 pm
island had a great piece in the post looking at about how about 4500 gun arrests in new york city, about a thousand, something like 900 and change effectively were made to go away. and they're either going for a lesser sentences, plea bear begans for lower charges saying it's a minor drug charge. actually you decided not to charge the gun crime. they're doing this time and time again because they don't want to seem to be coming down too hard disproportionately where there's already unfortunately far too much gun violence. >> tucker: yeah, but letting violent people with firearms weak doesn't help the population of cities. people are already carrying the brunt. >> amazing when they're talking about magazine restrictions and gun show loopholes we all know most is coming from handguns related to criminal activity. a lot is gang violence and centered majorly in cities across the country. if you wanted to do something about that you think you would handle more the criminal element
5:21 pm
through the judicial process through the criminal justice process. but what we've seen the district attorney's office in new york is a perfect example and people have kind of woken up to this tucker, they have made it so hard and onerous to from lower level gun crimes meaning possession, lower level crimes across the boards intentionally that they have to let a lot go effectively stop prosecuting people because that will make us safer. >> tucker: right. so our voters get guns, yours don't. we've seen this before. that's what this is. buck sexton, i appreciate you coming on. thank you. >> thanks tucker. >> tucker: there's a lot going on in the world now. however you feel about long prison terms we should tell you about another increment in the story ever creepy porn lawyer. remember him? we've got that coming up. plus a california task force just issued an amazing report calling for reparations to solve your racism. we've got deals that straight ahead. ♪♪

5:27 pm
court for his sentences he wanted to be sentenced remotely but manhattan judge shot that down saying the gravity required face to face justice and nobody was happier with that ruling than stormy daniels who tweeted, quoting here see you there blank except i'm flying in first class, ha ha. of course he was found guilty of stealing about $300,000 of her book advance and when the judge sentenced cpl to four years he let him have it saying his crime was out of quote, desperation, his can behavior egregious and blamed it on blind ambition. then low and behold the very man who stole from his client and refused brett kavanaugh due process stood up in court and spoke for 12 minutes acknowledging a series of mistakes and poor judgment quoting i have destroyed my career, my relationships and my reputation. he went on to say he would forever be branded as a disgraced creepy porn lawyer. okay, we put the creepy porn
5:28 pm
part in but he did say the rest. as for jail time, he is already serving 2.5 years for trying to extort $25 million from nike so the first 18 months of his new four year sentence will be served concurrently meaning 2.5 for nike and 2.5 for stormy daniels and if my mathis correct that puts him, cpl back on cnn by mid 20 27. tucker? >> tucker: we'll be tuned in. trace gallagher, thank you. >> you bet it. >> tucker: find someone better than trace gallagher, we dare you. well, california has a lot of real problems. train robberies have come back, the energy grid is failing. but those are too complicated to solve so the state of california has established something instead called a reparations task force. that task force just released a 500 page report because that's what task force do. it's called for a child support
5:29 pm
forgiveness, free college given away on the basis of race and the planting of trees to create tree shade equity something you probably didn't know existed. in addition, the report demands and we're quoting, a long-term truth and reconciliation commission. like they have in south africa it worked so well. dr. ben carson is the chairman of the american cornerstone institute and author of the fantastic new york times best seller created equal and we are honor to have him join us. drvm carson thank you so much for coming on. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: what do you make of the recommendations of this commission in california? >> well, i'll tell you this is really a troublesome area. the whole concept of reparations. i do a pretty deep dive on it in the new book. but, you know, you have to recognize that maybe there's some other factors that are involved in some of the discrepancies that exist between the races, when you look at
5:30 pm
wealth, for instance. yes, there is a wealth gap, five to ten x wealth gap. but if you look at nigerians and guinea anns there's little or no wealth gap. if you go and study those families it's that the bachelor's degree is a baseline that's where you start and there's tremendous emphasis on family and family structure and faith those things make a big difference. and if you take traditional black american families who have those same families there's very little wealth gap too. perhaps we're looking at the wrong things trying to blame somebody else. if you believe you are a victim you are a victim. and, you know, you take things like critical race theory, the 1619 project, all of the things that try to the get black people to feel like they're victims, try to get white people to feel guilty.
5:31 pm
the advantage of making white people feel guilty is then you can defund the police, you can put dangerous criminals out, you can leave the southern border unguarded and nobody will say anything. they'll just hang their head and hope you don't call them a nasty name. these are not things that should be going on. you know, in america. they're just not the right kinds of things to happen. and, you know, when you look at the advantages of this nation, i have a friend and a neighbor in florida, he was born in the cape verde islands where the whole slave trade started off of the western coast of africa and he had to go down to the creek and take buckets of water out in the morning. that's the kind of poverty he grew up in. came here as a like a nine or ten year old, excelled in school, and today is a billionaire. >> tucker: yeah. >> black skin. >> tucker: exactly. >> this is not to say that all our problems have been resolved. they have not. >> tucker: right. >> and i do a deep analysis of
5:32 pm
that. but let's look at the correct things. let's look at family structure. let's look at our faith. look at those things that are deteriorating in our society. look at the things that the marxist leaders said would take down america and see how those things are happening. that's what we need to be looking at. there's a reason we have these brains. >> tucker: well, exactly. dr. ben carson congrats on the book. most famous people i know have ghost writers writer write their books i know you wrote this yourself. so congrats on that. >> absolutely and my wife helped. >> tucker: great person. great to see you tonight. >> thank you. >> tucker: thank you. so the head of the biggest bank in the united states just issued a warning that's terrifying if you think about it. and we'll have it for you straight ahead.

the coastline of orange county and sometimes on the dock. they're just abandoned, they're left with life jackets and fuel tanks and things like that. but it's happening because people like my opponent, katie porter, we call her open border porter, and joe biden, and the woke left in congress put out a welcome matt for all the illegal immigrants to come to america. they basically say come to america we'll give you cash payments and free education and healthcare, and, in fact, we'll even give you a pre plane ride somewhere if you want. and the problem with this is, we don't know who these people are. they don't have advisable means of support. some are gang members and some are human traffickers and some are drug runners that are bringing the scourge of fentanyl and the playing fentanyl brings to america with tens of thousands of deaths. and the problem is, the rule of law is the cornerstone of any country. and we're not enforcing the rule of law here and we need to do that. so how to do we do that. we secure our border, we remove

the welcome mat for illegal immigrants that katie and joe biden have put out there and we change the catch and release program. it's a really silly program. think about this tucker, they catch and release into the united states. they should catch and release back to mexico and that's how we're going to clean up the border and clean up this scourge. >> tucker: so katie porter is the one who told us to stop complaining about inflation and to shut up and have an abortion. how did someone like that who's not from the state of california who's one of the craziest people in the whole united states congress get elected in orange county california? do you have any idea? >> that was a tough year for republicans, 2018, she got elected and she didn't have a well-funded opponent last time and she didn't have a record the first time she ran. but this time she has a record and she has a record of things that support her ideology more than how her ideology impacts the everyday person in orange county. for example on drilling, she doesn't want anymore drilling and yet she blames the high price of gas on corporations. and then, of course, she sends a
5:41 pm
letter to joe biden saying, government spending doesn't cause inflation. and then she advocates for $20 trillion. tucker, she's voted for $20 trillion in spending and then goes shopping for a pound of bacon and wonders why it's $10 a pound. she's just out of touch with this district and now she has a roshgsd i'll have the funding to point that record out. >> tucker: she's just the embodiment of life style liberals and it doesn't work at all. scott baugh good luck thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: the government printed trillions of new dollars, our treasure secretary janet yellen used to run the fed and is responsible for inflation assured us no this is not going to cause inflation. watch. >> we've had several months of high inflation that most economists, including me, believe will be transtory. >> i, personally, believe that this represents transtory factors. >> are higher prices here to

thinks the fed can handle this. that hurricane is right out there down the road coming our way. >> tucker: peter schiff is an actual economist the ceo of pacific capitol joins us tonight. thanks so much for coming on. jamie diamond is a pretty understated guy most of the time. hurricane, do you agree with that? >> well, i do except i think it's going to be a category 5 hurricane so i think he's sugar coating it a bit. >> tucker: and what, if you were in charge, if you were janet yellen, you were the treasury secretary, what would you do to avert it or lessen its effects right now? >> well, unfortunately there's no way to avert it. i mean, but what we have to do is deal with it in a responsible way, something that janet yellen has never been a part of. >> tucker: no. >> she's complaining about inflation but she helped create the inflation when she was chair of the federal reserve she kept interest rates at zero for half of her term and then when she finally started to raise them it
5:44 pm
took her two years to get to one and a quarter. then when you go back to her tenure as the president of the federal reserve bank of san francisco she was there during the housing bubble and financial crisis and at the peak of the housing bubble she assured the nation in several speeches that there was no housing bubble. and then she went on to say, even if there was a bubble, if she was wrong, and it popped, it would do no damage to the u.s. economy. so she was incompetent at the fed and she's still incompetent as secretary of the treasury. >> tucker: well, yeah. i mean, that was demonstrable. this was the most shocking, from my perspective, the most shocking appointment joe biden made. how in the world could he have appointed janet yellen of all people on earth treasury secretary? how did that happen? >> well, you know, it's all politics. had he not a pointed her he might have appointed somebody equally bad. there's so many bad people to choose from because they pick these people for political reasons. it's not because they actually know anything about the economy.

teacher, a counselor can flag for a court that a child, a student, a patient is exhibiting violent tendencies, threatening classmates or experiencing suicidal thoughts. makes them a danger to themselves or to others: 19 states in the district of columbia have red flag laws. >> tucker: wait a second. california last week just prevented schools from reporting people with violent tendencies because of equity or something. but biden is arguing that we should punish people who haven't been convicted of a crime and under our system for like 250 years, you don't get punished until you're found guilty. now biden is saying if we don't like you we're going to punish you and the point of course is to disarm people who didn't vote for him because you're a threat and that will make us safer. right. but it doesn't make you safer. a woman called nicky guesser heard that before. in 2009 her husbanded was murdered in front of her by a stalker in a restaurant. the killing occurred in a

5:53 pm
violating gun-free zone laws when they go commit murder. >> no, i think it makes good people an actual target. if you read some of these manifest os that these sick os leave behind, you'll see that they plan this stuff months, years in advance sometimes and they choose gun-free zones because they want to get a high body bag count. and what better place than a gun free zone where no one can stop them immediately. >> tucker: if you wanted to make a country safer, why would you disarm law abiden people? >> exactly. >> tucker: yeah, exactly. well, i'm sorry that -- i mean, you paid an incal cue lab price for this. nikki thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: we'll be right back.
