people who cannot tell you what a woman is knows so much about an ar-15 rifle. exactly. they don't know anything. that's all for us tonight. tucker carlson is up next. always remember, i'm waters and this is my world. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening, welcome to "tucker carlson tonight"! my publicist announced with a straight face he plans to run again in 2024. we'll address that at some point tomorrow, but first another crisis in the news. after the killings in buffalo a few weeks ago you heard people talk about something about red flag laws. the government informed us could and mass shootings tomorrow

simply by taking the guns away from mass shooters before they commit mass shootings. it's not complicated. it's such an obvious solution that you had to think about why we weren't already doing that. who doesn't want to prevent mass shootings? only the gun lobby, everybody else cares about children. americans say they want red flag laws. why wouldn't they? like supporting black lives matter or fighting climate change or getting the covid shot or standing with the brave people of ukraine. red flag laws seem like one of the ideas that no decent person could possibly oppose. you want crazy people to have guns? of course you don't. who would? so naturally, you are for a red flag laws. you may soon get red flag laws across the country. what would that mean if we do? to things you should know. first, red flag laws will not end mass shootings. but red flag laws will end due process. due process is a simple concept but it's the key to everything

good about america. in our system of justice, citizens cannot be punished without first being charged with a crime. politicians cannot just decide to hurt you, throw you in handcuffs, loft dell mike luckett and gerald simply because they don't like how you think or vote. before they punish you, they have to go through a formal process in which they describe which simple law you broke and how you broke it. they have to prove it. for serious crimes with big penalties, the government has to convince a group of the fellow citizens first, called the grand jury. the government must convince them you deserve to be punished or they cannot proceed. if none of this is new, it's the way we've done things in america for more than 200 years and it's exactly why we have and have always had the fairest justice system in the world. people move to the country from all over the globe to benefit from it. but the red flag laws will end this. under red flag laws, the government doesn't have to prove you did anything wrong in order

to strip you of the most basic rights. all required to punish you is a complaint and possibly even an anonymous complaint when somebody says you seem dangerous. that complaint doesn't come from a grand jury, it can come from anyone including 70 who hates you or simply doesn't like your politics. it doesn't matter because the jury will never see it. on the basis of the unproven complaint you lose your freedom and ability to defend yourself and your family. how could that possibly happen in this country? the supreme court said unequivocally said it can't happen here. it ruled in a case. seeing the personal firearms of a 68-year-old man whose wife called in a complaint after they had an argument. the man committed no crime and been convicted of a crime and judged by doctors to be sane. get the authorities took away his guns anyway. he sued under the fourth amendment and the case went to the supreme court. the result was not even close.

the supreme court sided with the gun owner in the case in a rare 9-0 decision. if that means that every justice, liberal and conservative agreed authorities cannot just seize your property or throw you in jail if they don't like the way you look. red flag laws are unconstitutional. period. if we don't have to guess about that. yet biden administration is pushing in any way why? because they don't care. how is joe biden able to ignore supreme court decision from last year? simple. he declares an emergency and does what he wants. he's done it before. at the white house did the same thing with the eviction moratorium and vaccine mandates last year. it's an emergency, we don't have time for a new process. you can see why democrats love emergencies, nothing gives them more power more quickly. they declared the atrocities in uvalde and buffalo an emergency, unlike the daily mass shootings in baltimore in chicago, cities they run and killings therefore

the ignore. on the base of the emergency, they can move forward with gun confiscation. the white house now wants congress to pass a law paying states to enact red flag laws. here's the amazing part. at least ten republican senators are backing the effort from biden administration. virtually that's guaranteed to pass. what's the reasoning? here's one of the senators. john korman of texas. >> you have colleagues on any other chamber who are already coming out against this before you put out a proposal. >> not surprised. some people will not want to touch this with a 10-foot pole. because they are concerned about the politics of it. but this is a time where hopefully we can transcend that personal political and do what we think will save lives. to me, that's the ultimate goal. we can do something sensible because that does not undermine the rights of law-abiding citizens under the constitution

to keep and bear arms. of >> tucker: two things to notice about the sound bite which is so revealing. the first is the use of the term sensible. that's a democratic talking point approved by the dnc, sensible gun safety regulation. if you have john cornyn taking nancy pelosi's language. doing it on purpose. you hear him describe anybody who disagrees with him, why would you disagree? according to john cornyn, anybody is concerned about the politics of red flag laws. not the wisdom of red flag laws, not whether or not red flag laws or constitutional come up at grubby politics. in other words says john cornyn, everybody who disagrees with me is alone and unethical. if you are not used to eat hearing demagoguery like that, you should know john rob portman of ohio, north carolina, mitt romney of

course if you talk on the bill cassidy of louisiana, susan collins. lindsey graham of south carolina, on board for any bad idea, and pat toomey of pennsylvania. interesting to see lindsey graham on board, the person who encouraged capitol police to shoot more trump voters who has no problem with violence. no, all the senators names that we just read, have the backing of the top republican mitch mcconnell. what are they backing when they back red flag laws? we can take florida's experience as an example. in florida, the police can seize guns from people opposing "significant danger based on any relevant evidence." that's it. any relevant evidence. it raises some obvious questions. most obvious is if you can seize people's guns before they committed a crime, why can't you

imprison them without proving they committed a crime? if you can take the guns, why can't you take their hopes? empty their bank accounts. some paranoid? that just happened in canada. what's stopping it from happening at here? we know authorities are abusing the red flag laws in the books. in a recent interview, she said clients were able to hire lawyers who have vastly higher odds of getting the fire arms back to the government. of course. it laws like this always penalize the weakest. she said courts are taking a better safe than sorry approach to avoid a political blowback. if police are taking advantage of that. if court records show cops in florida show up to the homes of citizens and prevent them with stipulations. if you agree in writing to surrender your firearms, you have a chance of getting them back after a year. as it happens, that's a pretty tempting offer if you have armed people in your living room. but it is and it remains, we don't have to guess about it because the supreme court just

ruled on it. it's unconstitutional. it's for several reasons, a clear violation of the search and seizure prohibition. even people who wrote to the current red flag laws admit that. in new york, assembly member cosponsor of the red flag laws said it's all over the place. you have places where you have one file and the other where there's 38. for unconstitutional search and seizure. armed authorities showing up at some of these home and taking their personal property. look at this. this is a god, the very same member of congress who had -- with a chinese spy demanding that cops disarm ben shapiro because ben shapiro says things

the government disagrees with. please tell me this lunatic doesn't own a gun. reason number 1,578 america needs red flag laws. if eric swalwell wrote that. now, what would qualify as a trigger for gun seizure under the red flag laws that he supports and republican support? here's the video that ben shapiro made that eric swalwell thinks qualifies him for red flag laws. watch. >> if you come to tell me you're going to indoctrinate my kids and then i can't pull my kid out of the school and send my kid to a school that i want them to, i can't go to the church or synagogue i want to. if you make that national policy, but national policy. if people aren't going to stand for that. i've got two choices. leave the country early. choose to pick up a gun. only the choices you have left. how can you say something like

that. the constitution was created in order to protect. >> tucker: writes preexist government. the governing documents make that point. on the basis of the fact of quoting the founding documents of the country. eric swalwell says the police should show up at ben shapiro's house and take the firearms away. does anybody believe ben shapiro is a violent threat to anybody? no, he's an ideological threat and an ideological threat is the only kind of threats people like eric swalwell actually care about. you know that when you look at the laws they're pushing and the republicans are back. if the laws were actually designed to fight gun crime, they would have forced prosecutors to enforce existing gun laws against people who are committing all the murders. it's not ben shapiro.

los angeles and many other cities, that's not happening. that's why criminals openly support. watch. >> i told you last time. trying to reelect somebody else. it'll leap your life up with withoutparole. >> tucker: yeah. that's one tape we can play as we often do, a video in our cities. so people who are favored by the regime can do whatever they want. vote the right way, commit whatever crimes you want. baltimore will happen. at mass killings on an ongoing basis for decades and nobody will say a word. but if you're disfavored by the regime, no punishment to strong or infraction too small.

none of the gun legislation, john cornyn and the other pompous buffoons are signing with nancy pelosi. support none of the legislation will do anything about the core problem which is das lord george cass : failing to enforce existing gun laws. by the way, george himself named one example is breaking. if a whistle-blower he said he was fired for complaining about the habit of illegally carrying firearms aboard airplanes. why haven't the cops red flagged george and disarmed him? is anybody going to red flag hunter biden who lied on a federal drug form? was at a drug addict carrying in illegally obtained weapon? no, of course not. red flag laws aren't designed to punish the political loyal. that's what you get scenes like this in the world. police do nothing about. watch. >> [shouting]

>> tucker: so, hey, john cornyn, your legislation do anything about that? is anybody who's okay with that and what's happening in downtown chicago or downtown baltimore, pick a city. if every day of the week, get back to me about that with the ar in my closet. by the way, not worried about what you just saw. at last year his office missed 60% of the felony cases that into his office, most coming to about gun infractions. only 68% of those cases. another d8 in philadelphia has a similar record. larry krasner's office dismissed 65% of all gun charges.

does that seem high? it is, 2015 that figure was 17%. new ideology? new outcome. by the way, the outcome is more dead people. but this law does nothing about that. it ignores it completely in favor of redefining you as a violent threat and giving the authorities control by biden administration's right to march at your house and disarm you. what are they ignoring? let's see, last year in philadelphia we saw a record set for homicides. this year, more than 200 people have been shot to death in the city of philadelphia which is in a huge city and it's getting smaller. the 14-year-old boy was killed in a drive-by. a man was shot five times in west philadelphia. on sunday night a man taking care of his mother in north philadelphia was shot in the back of the head. if you're worried about gun crimes, gun atrocities, we

actually hate violence. if you would do something about this and punish the people who are committing gun crimes. but no. they prevent you from defending your family and buying and holding guns. why is that? well, we don't need a guess because they're telling us. watch with the attorney general of the united states and this guy is the attorney general. he's more than a craven political act, he runs the doj. mr. merrick garland, the biggest threat facing the country today. >> the fbi's view, the top domestic violent extremist threat comes from racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists specifically those who advocate for the superiority of the white race. >> tucker: that's a total lie actually. we have numbers to prove it. but you know it's a lie, there is no justification, rationally, for what merrick garland just said. it's ridiculous, obvious or anybody living in a major city knows that. why did they keep telling you

that? because nothing the biden administration is doing, nothing that's happening in congress right now will actually address gun violence. that's not the point, john cornyn. the point is to allow the democratic party to become more powerful. it feels like it to send its armed agents to raid the homes of ben shapiro, another disobedient people of the democratic party doesn't like. red flag laws aren't what they seem. eric schmidt is one of them, the paternal general of the state of missouri. thank you for coming on. i think you can see. you're steeped in this for people that aren't, the idea you stop a mass shooting before it starts is that it seems appealing and rational. tell us why red flag laws are problematic. speak of the first thing is the republicans need to back away from the dangerous dance with gun grabbing democrats. it's a dangerous road to go down

and you'd be eviscerating two fundamental rights. but the red flag laws are nothing more than a green light for gun confiscation and why in the world would we give more power to the same people who are willing to arrest folks in the name of safety and an emergency for taking their kids to a playground during covid and locking down businesses and creating a ministry of truth by the way, which was going to tell people what they could say and when they could say it. coordinating with the government to cancel people. we've been told for years now that words are violence. if why wouldn't we believe that these folks are going to weaponize red flag laws to punish their political opponents? it's very obvious that's exactly what they are going to do. if you eviscerate the protections we hold sacred in the country. we need to make sure that this doesn't happen because red flag laws are very dangerous. i can't believe the republicans are going along with the democrats here. their answer to every question is gun control.

this is not the road to go down. it is very dangerous. >> tucker: so nicely put. i appreciate you coming on tonight. thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: what's dangerous is when the spread between the government and the people reportedly represents gets too wide. republican senators are for what you just read and how many republican voters are for it? not too many when they find out what it is. that makes the country unstable. democracy keeps the country strong and calm. the second voters think they have no recourse with the people they elected don't care about them, things get crazy and volatile like you're seeing. speaking of crazy and volatile come out the stock market plummeted and what does that mean for the country and for you? fox news trace gallagher is on that beer >> tucker, the definition of the bear market means when the market falls. falling 3.9%, now down 22% for the year and the bears are roaming.

if 500 components that make up the s&p 500, 495 of them were down today. how long does the bear market last? unknown, but during the great recession more than one decade ago, it lasted 517 days. today's drop is all because the inflation report came in higher and hotter than expected and to slow down inflation and bring down sky high prices, the fed is talking about raising interest rates in rapid succession meaning that by the end of the year, rates could jump by 2.5%. the highest increase since the mid-1990s. that's an indication that the fed is running scared because raising rates ends up costing jobs and causing pain. speaking of paying, if you have money in cryptocurrency, you know that bitcoin is down 67% from its high back in november. while the markets pulling down, the president points out elsewhere. to speak on doing everything in my

power. i'm bringing down the cost of gas and food. >> considering the markets and their approval numbers, pretty much moving in lockstep some of the blame game doesn't appear to be catching on. finally, there is one index that's rising every single day. the volatility index. up 110% since january. that means investors have extreme anxiety over the future economy. by the way, outside the window, gas, $7.27 per gallon. tucker. >> tucker: beyond belief, trace gallagher, thank you so much. great to see you. record high inflation i suggest just heard, joe biden should do something about it. we will have a guest later this hour who has a plan to lower inflation. the number of shoulder and identifying as transgender skyrocketing, not born that way obviously. it's propaganda at work. that's next. ♪ ♪
