well for three years that he's incapable of serving as president. knowing that, they foisted him on the country and why did they do that? of course to carry out a task in the revolution. the historic protections of free speech and self-defense in the united states. to hobble domestic energy production, scram or gender roles until nobody can think clearly. hope -- that was the job like several species of marsupials, joe biden's task was to do one big thing was change the country forever and then disappear. we reached the disappearing part right about now. it democrats would like joe biden gone soon. no longer useful, just embarrassing. he complements the holocaust on trips to israel. you can't do that. unsurprisingly, 70% of democratic voters don't want joe biden to run again and you can be certain he won't. no matter what the staff is claiming, there pretending otherwise, but no matter what they say you will never hear

another word from joe biden after january of 2025. the question is who replaces joe biden? the scramble begins now. it's not that we can't say at all in fact, but the only thing we can say is which candidate seems to believe they could be the next democratic nominee. so far, it's an amazing lineup. reveals a lot about the state of the democratic party 2022. first on the list is the governor of illinois. he's an inherited money dolt impressed on the single person who knows him but he spent more than $171 million of his family money to get a job that he doesn't seem to enjoy and certainly isn't good at. he's one of the last people on earth who should be running anything. yet somehow, he convinced himself he's going to be the next president. here is j.b. pritzker in new hampshire in june. >> the republican game plan is

to blame the hardships imposed on the pandemic from those who are following facts and science. they want to cast solutions and something exotic or woke. their whole being is the old story goes that nobody is willing to say that their emperor has no clothes. new hampshire, i'm here to tell you that the g.o.p. is naked and afraid. >> tucker: [laughs] imagine the consultant that convinced j.b. pritzker to leave his collapsing state and had to net hampshire. you could be president! he's running. who else is running? you want to know the answer, look around and ask yourself which elected democrats are attacking ron desantis. the candidate many believe they will face. who is attacking ron desantis? here's california governor gavin newsom who's got a new ad in florida.

watch. >> talk about what's going on in america. freedoms under attack in your state. they are banning books, making it harder to vote. restricting speech in classrooms and criminalizing women and doctors. i urge all of you living in florida to join the fight or join us in california where we believe in freedom. freedom of speech, freedom to choose, freedom from hate, the freedom to love. >> tucker: come join us in california! [laughs] gavin newsom then gave a television interview not saying he's running for president, but suggesting that they'll speculate speculate about it. watch. >> you know the image got a lot of attention and you're not going to announce her presidential run on the show unless you want to to make news. we know that you've said every single possible way you're not running for president.

>> tucker: he's walking outside the white house without his jacket on, flexing a little bit. where does he get those teeth? i'd like to know the man who installed them. those are the two most prominent people that can replace joe biden. the governor of california, gavin newsom, the governor of illinois j.b. pritzker. you're not laughing right now, you're dead inside. not because of the way they look, appearance matters to the democratic party, it's determinative. the party spent the last decade telling us white men are evil and they must be removed from positions of leadership except when their party where white men continue to run everything. lest i remind you of come out like flying private to the global warming summit or going mask lists they pass the hypocrisy test

already. as long as the antiwhite parties going to ignore highly qualified leaders of colors like stacey abrams, instead intuiting to run white men, you think they would choose nonridiculous white men. they are getting behind the two guys running the most to dysfunctional states. how do we know that? be more like your dog. watch action, in your words. if more people are immigrating from california which is fleeing from california than any other state and some are running to ma drug were in a search of better life. california's paying more income tax than any other state and there's more poverty in california than any other state. it leads the nation in homelessness.

people living under rates, american citizens. last year's murders in l.a. went up by 35% already in the first half of this year, homicides in los angeles set a 15 year record. you're going to run on that, gavin newsom? they are robbing trains in your state like its 1880! then it's illinois and we don't want to be mean, both are great states. nice people. illinois ranks third in the migration. new york is in the middle. the chicago neighborhood area lost 170,000 people this past year. highest losses for any metropolitan region in the state. l.a. and san francisco at the top of the list. ask yourself about people moving to the police the person governs or are they moving high speed and other direction? according to the illinois

policies, illinois loses a resident every 4 minutes. how many people is that? well, over a year, that's the equivalent of losing the entire city of springfield which is the capital of illinois. how many are going to florida? well, most of them. one of the reasons illinois isn't safe anymore because people with jobs are leaving. as of july 10th, total crimes in the city of chicago are up 34% year-over-year. who is responsible for this? who's running it? j.b. pritzker is running it. and everybody who lives there who still lives there is to tide to get out and can't afford to flee. every time j.b. pritzker goes out sweating profusely, he gets yelled at. watch.

>> governor j.b. pritzker here. [boos] >> tucker: there he is, the mascot outside! to imagine him going back to his box and saying what were they saying? they love you, governor, they love you! but they don't, and they shouldn't! under j.b. pritzker, illinois became much poorer, much more dangerous, much less free. the violent crime rate in chicago increased by 40%. what has he done about that and how many lives has he saved? no, the real problems j.b. pritzker, law-abiding people in indiana who own guns. it's your fault. watch. >> it's devastating that a celebration of america was ripped apart by our uniquely american plague. a day dedicated to freedom has put into stark relief the one

freedom that we as a nation refused to uphold. the freedom of our fellow citizens to live without the daily fear of gun violence. it's the fourth of july. a day for reflection on our freedoms. our founders carried muskets, not assault weapons. i don't think a single one of them would have said that you have a constitutional right to an assault weapon with a high-capacity magazine. >> tucker: haranguing the public! people have done literally nothing wrong except to try to protect their own homes from the criminals that j.b. pritzker has loosed on the state of illinois. no wonder they are screaming at him. he attacked law-abiding citizens instead and that's the theme. he's the one who imposed a mask mandate on schools in the state based on precisely zero scientific evidence.

none. the kids were being destroyed by this. here's how parents reacted earlier this year. watch. >> why? why are you continuing to enforce a mandate that has been ruled null and void? >> this type of evil is exactly what the law was intending to constrain. you continue to perpetrate this evil carico the judge's words, not mine >> wears our family choice? you want your kids to wear masks? then give them masks. you want them to take them off? then take the masks off. it's that simple. >> you hurt her so much with this. everybody talks about everybody's got to be safe and have everything, and left so many children behind. she was going to be able to see other kids smiles, kids would be able to understand her, and she'd stopped being picked on because they couldn't understand

her through her mask because her speech has been delayed even more than her special needs. i will never forgive myself for not fighting more. i feel that i have failed her for not fighting more. >> tucker: you'd think if you inherited as much money as j.b. pritzker has come a billions, you would need to listen to the teachers unions. why do you care what the teachers unions thank? think? ironically, the national focus of anti-children's policies. anybody who dislikes children as thoroughly and intensely as the teachers unions do. but j.b. pritzker not only listens to the teachers unions, he's their carico once you start thinking about rationally about what science says no bearing whatsoever on the public health policy, god knows where you will line up. j.b. pritzker's case, he banned families from stepping on boasts

because it's dangerous. >> it's restricted to two people on boat and you can't have five or ten people in a boat. >> it's a family, they'll have to pick two of them at the time. >> tucker: hey, grease ball, where did you get the right to tell me how many people can come on my boat? nobody asked the question! on the boat or on the dock! nobody said anything! so "primetime," they love you! but nothing changes the bottom line. it gavin newsom and j.b. pritzker run the dirtiest, most dangerous state in the country with the worst cities. chicago, san francisco, los angeles. all places destroyed and the basis, they become convinced they run the country. they have to be president. if that's not hilarious, what

is? these are ridiculous people. j.b. pritzker can barely walk to the podium. so, who's the consultant who managed to keep a straight face while telling j.b. pritzker you can be president. we love that man's name. people love you, you can do it! jason whitlock is the host of "fearless" and joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. find some inherited money mouth breather like j.b. pritzker and whisper in his ear he can be president, why didn't you do that? >> what i should have gone into is television production. that's what the democratic party is into right now is production of tv shows. look at the january 6th deal. i wish i had told you this beforehand when i knew you're going to talk about the two guys. literally, this is a casting call and an episode of "cheers." pritzker is norm and

gavin newsom in sam malone. pritzker's job is to walk into the bar and make sam malone, gavin newsom look better. gavin newsom is the candidate. they are running pritzker, the only guy who could be a worse candidate then gavin newsom is j.b. pritzker. they'll run him out there so everybody falls in love with the instagram model gavin newsom. sam malone. he thinks we are so dumb, the public is so dumb, they have reason to believe we are this down because we fell for it. donald trump's are racist and joe biden's going to save the world. they are doubling down on the stupidity and say we are going to put this pretty face gavin newsom on a terrible game plan for america, we are going to destroy all your rights and take your freedoms away from io. but at least you're going to have the pretty instagram model gavin newsom to look at and you like that better than old

joe biden. >> tucker: intake stones if he runs california to suggest you're going to run for president. if he had improved, but he's done the exact opposite. what's he going to say about that? >> joe biden is president! gavin newsom has every reason to believe he can be president. a homeless man in san francisco as a reason to believe he can be president. it's a democratic machine getting behind them and running a television campaign because again, that's all this is. this is hollywood people thinking america is so stupid, everything's just a reality tv show, an episode of "the real world" with manipulate everything. let's run the governor of illinois, he's going to make you forget how awful things are in california. i lived in california for ten years and i fled two years ago

because of the crime, because of the high taxes, the homelessness. because of the taxes. it's a joke in california. but they're running a bigger joke opposite. >> tucker: such a smart point. jason whitlock, thank you, great to see you. >> thank you. >> tucker: you have to ask after a lifetime of public service, how did nancy pelosi get so darn rich? how did her husband turn into such a remarkable investor? you want to know which stocks to pick? paul pelosi is the man, he just spent millions on a stock right before he voted in congress. maybe that's the secret, we've got details. plus, last week we spoke about the politicians who should not be running for the country. pretty specific about that. >> i'll never forget it for as long as i live and in order for healing to occur, what happens

next must be personal and painful for everyone. i thought them a really, why is that? what happened next was personal and painful for everyone. cities burn down and people died. why should what happened between a cop and george floyd in minneapolis be personal and painful for everybody else? what are you talking about? you are trying to please the people whose opinions you actually care about at "the new york times." doesn't mean she's a bad person, i like her. i don't want you in charge of anything. because, because -- [applause] the second things get intense, the second the other side really unleashes and starts yelling so loudly that you can't think clearly, i want a leader who can still think clearly. ♪ ♪

how did she get so rich? her husband operates an investment firm and he's met a lot of remarkably well-timed trades over the years. the other year, he made another one. he snapped up between 1,000,005,000,000 worth in stock of a semiconductor company. turns out congress is voting on a subsidy to the semiconductor industry. charles a senior correspondent with fox business and joins us to assess. thank you for coming on. is there any way to get paul pelosi stock tips before he does the trade? >> this dude is a rising star on wall street. they got nothing on this guy. he's remarkable. here's the thing, tucker, it brings up the notion is he insider trading and given tips? the sec and the doj brought cases on insider tips via pillow

talk. i don't believe this hits the insider trading bar. a lot of the information about the legislations bouncing around. it has to be material, nonpublic, misappropriated. it doesn't hit the barriers. but it's limousine liberalism arrogance on steroids. he knows he has an information edge. not saying it's illegal, but he knows he has information. he and his wife talk about stuff. he knows what's coming down the pipe and he's got sources and not just her. it's really disgusting looking and you want to understand why people distrust government is because of stuff like this. >> tucker: that's exactly right. >> not because some dignitary went to the trump hotel, i wrote tons of stories when donald trump was president. trying to and cuddle up to the donald trump administration.

no, this is the bad stuff, getting an edge, knowing it flies in the face of fairness. i'm not saying it's illegal and as a matter of fact i don't think it's illegal based on what i know on insider trading, but it looks like. >> tucker: just put it in a blind trust but they won't. >> it's hypocrisy, and for someone who lectures us on the evils of capitalism, it's really disgusting. >> tucker: amazing, charlie gasparino, great to see you. thank you. we are learning much more detail about how hunter biden sold his father's influence to america's rivals and enemies. fox news kevin corke has the story for us. >> good evening, tucker, from 20082 mag 2016, he met with his dad 30 times at the white house or at the residence and he often did so just days after

returning from overseas business trip. according to "the new york post" which is reviewing a lot of material from hundreds now infamous laptop. the gatherings as you can imagine raised a very serious questions about the veracity of the president's claim he knew nothing about nor ever discussed overseas business dealings with his son. here are a few examples that would suggest otherwise. april 15th 2015, 8:15 in the morning, meeting off the ivory coast and at 9:00 chatting it up with his dad over the naval observatory. february 2012, recorded by russian oligarchs in moscow a four days after their return, meeting with his father in the naval observatory. hunter associates and joe biden meeting with the former president of columbia whose business hunter had been quoting for months. long before the evening, he told the former colombian leader i'm checking on my dad's schedule. the implication that hunter was relaying messages to his father on behalf of foreign clients.

critics have argued that if that's true, joe biden is a liar. it wears, he can be compromised. it would mean multiple violations for hunter, something obviously worth keeping a close eye on as we continue to unpack everything. tucker. >> tucker: what a story. it kevin corke for us tonight, thank you for that. keep in mind, joe biden has said in public i knew nothing about my son's business dealings with china for example. that's alive. we can prove it. we've got much more on hunter biden's calendar. we will have it for you. while camellia thomas is a man biologically, yet for some reason was nominated for the ncaa woman of the year award. will talk to a real female athlete who's up for the award about how she feels about that next. ♪ ♪
