couple more second, but, listen, i want to thank you for joining me. thank you for being an impersonator of elvis, celebrating his life, having passed away 45 years ago today. >> god bless you. if you come to town, i'll pick you up in my pink cadillac. >> sean: thanks for watching "jesse watters primetime." tucker carlson is up next. >> tucker: good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." by all accounts attorney general merrick garland was shocked to hear about criticism on the raid of mar-a-lago last week. he lives in such a tiny world of left wing activists and sycophants it didn't dawn on

him. so if you watched garland carefully, his press conference the other day, you may have noticed that he appeared highly annoyed by the idea of having to stoop to explain himself to mere citizens. he found a solution. being a liberal, merrick garland's first instinct was to seize the role of victim, because when you're a victim you've already won the argument. you don't have to explain yourself. you don't have to change your behavior. you're by definition the good guy. the victim always is. being oppressed means never having to say you're sorry. so as garland explained in the press conference, the fbi was the victim. mean old fox news was asking unfair questions, and that's wrong. the real problem isn't that america's most powerful law enforcement agency is corrupt, no, the real problem is the people have dared to complain about it, and they must stop

immediately or else they're domestic terrorists. as gary put it with genuine outrage, i will not silently stand by as the integrity of the fbi is unfairly attacked. of course, media organizations loved it, something they revere more than a victim, victims are holy, so they immediately took gary's side. they're being mean to the fbi. stop it, guys. that's not allowed. but if you take three steps back and think about it for a second, garland's position, you're not allowed to criticize me, i'm the attorney general of the united states is pretty weird. according to merrick garland, the onus is on american citizens to respect the fbi. obey. it's your duty. but, of course, that's not true. in a democracy, the onus is on the fbi to earn the respect of americans. they work for you. remember? and lately, they've not been

doing a good job. people know they haven't been. the public's confidence in the fbi has plummeted by double digits in just the last few years. unfortunately there's a reason for that. it's a huge problem. we need the fbi. you can't just defund federal law enforcement. there are a lot of federal laws, most of them are silly. some aren't silly at all. they're very serious and must be enforced. so we have to have an fbi, and it has to be an fbi we can trust. we can't trust it until its behavior merits trust. until it's honest, to the extent it can be transparent, consistent in the way it enforces the law. we have to have a federal law enforcement agency like that. we can't just make it go away and hope for the best. we're nowhere near that point, because the people are supposed to be overseeing the fbi have ignored egregious examples of corruption over many years. they're getting hard to ignore, because they're just so obvious

now. it's not just the raid on mar-a-lago. consider the gretchen whitmer kidnapping case. you may remember that story from the fall of 2020. you may have followed it a little bit and heard how it ended. so it seemed like a terrorism plot was in fact a setup by the government to make a group of ordinary people in michigan look like terrifying right wing extremists. those violent white nationalists joe biden is always mumbling about. turns out there aren't enough of those people in real life. they're pretty rare actually. it's not a very racist country. the justice department had to go create some. they did. that's not just our opinion. that was the finding of the federal jury in michigan. so it's a shocking story really, but the details of that story are even worse than that. they are beyond belief. we'll tell you what they are in just a minute. first to set the scene, here's gretchen whitmer herself, governor of michigan, announcing that she was the intended target

of a terrorism plot. this is from october 8th, 2020. >> earlier today, the attorney general was joined by officials from the department of justice and fbi to announce state and federal charges against 13 members of two militia groups preparing to kidnap and possibly kill me. if you break the law or conspire to commit heinous acts of violence against anyone we will find you. we will hold you accountable and we will bring you to justice. >> tucker: oh, we'll bring you to justice. i'm so important that militia groups have organized to take me out. what a self agrandizing position. the last thing, we'll bring you to justice, they tried to do that. they had a trial and retrial. thanks to that we have testimony and cross-examination that reveals what actually happened, how the fbi engineered this plot. now, most of the media were

paying zero attention to this. here's the outline, in 2020 a veteran was working for the u.s. postal service, scrolling facebook one night, and says he found a pro second amendment group called wolverine watch, and happened about it. chapel testified that he was concerned by the group's criticism of law enforcement. so he went to a police officer friend of his and asked for advice. none of the messages within the group violated any law, but somehow within a week chapel ended up connected to the fbi, to several fbi agents, including a special agent called jason chambers. now, we learned through testimony in the trial this week why chambers was interested in the case. it turns out that chambers in violation of fbi policy was running a side hustle. he incorporated a security firm called esc intel.

he saw his work on the whitmer case was a way to promote his own business. we know that, because throughout 2020, someone affiliated with the business, their twitter account, repeatedly tweeted nonpublic information about the kidnapping case that dan chapel was building for the fbi. so it's not surprising given the built-in incentives here, which were against policy once again, that chambers appeared to do everything he could to make sure the investigation went according to plan. now, no investigation can go according to plan, because there shouldn't be a plan. investigation is the process of finding out what happened. an investigation is not the process of orchestrating things to happen. that's exactly what this became. in all, the fbi with chambers as the handler, paid chapel, big dan, more than $60,000 in the course of a few months. today chapel testified he made more money working for the fbi in seven months than he did working for the united states postal service over the course of an entire year.

so there's a lot of money moving from the fbi, the federal treasury, to this informant. so the fbi told chapel that in exchange for all of that money, you need to start assembling a group of right wing extremists for the fbi to prosecute. they did that with the fbi's help. within a few weeks the fbi created a new facebook group called patriot three percenters. this is why you should be careful of facebook. oh, okay. so chapel and several members of that group attended a protest at the michigan state capitol. look at you bringing people together, the fbi handler texted chapel. throughout that protest, which didn't look different from the january 6th protest, chapel kept in close touch with federal agents. he informed the feds that a 37-year-old man called adam fox was at the state capitol during the protest. adam fox has to be one of the least powerful in our society.

he lived alone with his two dogs in the basement of a vacuum repair shop. why? because he had no money whatsoever. in fact, he had so little money that in order to get running water to brush his teeth or use the bathroom, he had to go to a nearby mexican restaurant and use their men's room. chapel began texting this diabolical mastermind fox hundreds of times, but fox seemed inherently monitored, writing things like this, quote, our goal is to restore the constitutional republic. fox said, in our hearts and minds, we are not domestic terrorists. ooh, sounds very dangerous. based on those text messages, the finn gave chapel more instructions. they provided chapel with several $5,000 limit credit cards, and told him to give those credit cards to fox and tell him to spend it on guns and ammunition. so fox despite the fact he had no money at all, had to use the men's room in a mexican restaurant to brush his teeth, refused. on five separate occasions, he refused to take the credit cards

to buy guns and ammunition. then what a terrorist. then in july of 2020, chapel suggested that fox and others fire rounds into the governor's mansion, as well as at her cottage, but the alleged plotters, including adam fox, again refused. they didn't want to hurt the governor. ultimately, in august of 2020, the group started to splinter. chapel and other informants were struck to keep the group together. no, keep it together. keep the threat real. they introduced another undercover agent pretending to be an explosives expert. he showed the group a video of a bomb that blew up a vehicle to prove he knew what he was doing. where did that video come from? it was made by the fbi. is this shaking your comments a little bit. these details are real, by the way. they came out at trial. then the bureau recruited a convicted felon and longtime fbi inform called steve robson to introduce a new idea to fox as well as to barry croft.

this time he was to kidnap gretchen whitmer. robson with the fbi's money organized several events, including a national militia conference in ohio, training in wisconsin, and a meeting in delaware. fbi orchestrated all of it. on july 18th, 2020, at one such militia meeting -- again, organized by the fbi -- oh, right wing extremists. ha-ha-ha. in this case, they created them. so at this militia meeting, an alleged plotter rejected out of hand the idea of kidnapping gretchen whitmer. didn't want to do it. no, i don't think so. kidnap the governor? no. we're not crazy. we just want a constitutional republic. okay. then the topic came back up in august. then another defendant, daniel harris, equally adamant, no snatch and grab, he said, i swear to f'ing god. clearly they said emphatically, outfit explicitly, they're not people interested in kidnapping

gretchen whitmer, the governor of michigan. the fbi kept pushing. the fbi informants drove the defendants to gretchen whitmer's home. then they suggested killing the governor of virginia, also a democrat. of the on september 5th, 2020, fbi special agent tweeted, quote, mission is to kill the governor specifically. what country is this? to pressure one of the defendants, a man called barry croft into doing that, one fbi agent admitted this week that a female informant slept in the same hotel room as croft. it was a honey trap. fbi agents also testified this week that they regularly got high with adam fox. they smoked weed with adam fox. she said he was so high, in fact high in all of his meetings with them. again, that's against fbi policy. you can't just give drugs to people and hope they do

something bad. well, after all of this failed to produce a kidnapping plot, it fell on yet another fbi agent to build a criminal case against the defendant. trask convicted of beating his wife called donald trump a piece of excement. really? yes. after all of this, the person in charge of the field office overseeing the whitmer investigation in 2020, a man was promoted, not fired, promoted to lead the d.c. field office in late 2020. are you connecting the dots here? in other words, the guy who made sure that fbi informants were active during a rally in the michigan state house in 2020 as part of this concocted plot, that same guy went on to become the guy who oversaw the

investigation into -- wait for it -- january 6th. the election justice protest they're calling an insurrection. just remember, don't ask whether the fbi used informants to entrap anyone on january 6th. no. you can't do that or else you're insurrectionists yourself. nor are you allowed to ask why agents were involved in the raid in mar-a-lago, even though that's in florida and he's in washington, because it turns out questions like this are hate speech. watch. >> all the buzz on the internet, and all over the airwaves, is it does have an impact. >> well, i mean you can say buzz. >> well, i'm calling it buzz. >> there's a lot of hate speech coming from pro-trump media outlets. >> anger, a lot of anger. >> simply because donald trump is being investigated.

>> tucker: oh, it's hate speech. if there's one thing we know about hate speech, it's not protected by the first amendment. you've heard that part of the constitution, where it says you can say whatever you want, as long as msnbc doesn't designate it hate speech. if they call any criticism of the fbi -- that would be joe biden's personal defense force -- they call that hate speech, what they're really saying is you're committing a crime. you can see where this is going. the truth is there are still questions about the fbi's behavior on and around january 6th. given what happened in michigan, where we know beyond question that the fbi tried to create an act of terror, it's fair to ask what exactly did happen on january 6th. why is the fbi still hiding footage critically of the person who planted a pipe bomb outside

the dnc on january 6th meanwhile kamala harris was apparently inside, something she lied about for months. what exactly is going on here? we're not alleging anything. we don't know the answer. but we know for a fact, given the fbi's behavior, and we report this with great sadness over the past several years, it's worth getting to the bottom of this, in fact we have to to restore confidence in federal law enforcement. no one is asking these questions really apart from revolver news. here's what they've come up with. watch this. >> camera one shows the pipe bomber walking up to the dnc grounds at roughly 7:40 p.m. he sits on bench one. he gets up and walks off screen. according to the fbi, he walks the length of the dnc building and 10 minutes later he comes back to the same bench area and sits on bench two. there at 7:52 p.m. camera two captures the pipe bomber sitting on bench two, and we're told planting the pipe bomb by the

side of the bench next to the bush. we're told the pipe bomber plants the pipe bomb there, but can't see it. camera two is occluded by a giant bush to block the scene. it's very frustrating, because we can't see the moment the pipe bomber plants the pipe bomb, but the fbi can. that's because the whole scene sue be captured on camera one as well, and much more clearly than camera two. camera one has a clear shot of both benches. if the fbi released the full tape from camera one, we could see the pipe bomber planting the bomb. >> tucker: okay. so what exactly happened outside the dnc on january 6th and why is no one asking that question? why has the department of justice not told us? we've heard everything they want us to know about january 6th. why not more about this? darren beady of revolver news, one person pressing for answers,

joins us. thank you so much for coming on. will you explain to us, for those of us confused by the tape, that was evocative, raising questions, what is going on here? >> well, first, what it definitively shows, this piece that revolver.news available right now, shows definitively and without question that the fbi is with he would hoing, hiding, concealing from the public critical footage of the pipe bomber actually planting the bomb, actually placing the bomb down. the question is why would they do that? why would they hide precisely the piece of footage that would be most likely to help them get the public to catch and identify the perpetrator? furthermore, given that we know that they're hiding this footage, and that the bomb was placed outside of the democratic national committee building, allegedly by some mauga trump

supporter january 6th pipe bomber, why aren't democrats demanding to merrick garland, to christopher wray, that they release this piece of critical footage? >> tucker: what do you think the answer -- i mean, that's so bizarre. they're constantly telling you that right wing extremists are the great terror threat we face. here you have a case where somebody put a pipe bomb outside the dnc, and they're not interested in finding out who it was. that doesn't make sense at all. >> it doesn't make sense at all. if people read the full piece at revolver news, this is one of many absolutely mind blowing coincidences related to the pipe bomb situation. keep in mind, this pipe bomb allegedly planted the evening before wasn't discovered until after the rnc pipe bomb was discovered at 12:40. that means there was an entire

morning of people walking by, of pedestrians, of motorists, of dnc security, who didn't see it, and even the secret service itself, which we know by reports swept the area, checked entrances. the pipe bomb was placed just feet away from an exit to the dnc building. and the secret service missed it? and they missed it so that the actual pipe bomb would first be discovered at the rnc, discovered at 12:40. so when it was reported, the capitol police reported it a minute before the first assault on the capitol perimeter. everything was timed in such a remarkable fashion as to be frankly unbelievable. i think everyone needs to pose these questions very directly and very forcefully to merrick garland, to christopher wray. we need answers at this point.

>> tucker: and why is the january 6th committee not interested in this? i don't know what the answer is, but it's certainly bizarre. thanks for your reporting on this. >> thank you. >> tucker: so the real threat to the country, as everybody knows, is not domestic terrorism, it's street crime, the degradation of daily life for people who live in cities. nowhere is that clearer than in new york city, our largest city. drug addicts have taken over a lot of the place, including upscale neighborhoods. we'll show you the evidence on-camera next

>> tucker: even if you don't like new york, you should care about new york, because it's the country's biggest city. it was sad to watch for eight years as an incrediblebly dirty man ran the city, bill de blasio, and made the city much dirtier. he left last year, and people thought, well, this could be a turning point, it will get cleaner and safer, but that's not happened yet, not even close. fox 5 in new york just shot representative footage from the city on your screen you're, you're seeing a woman defecating near a tree, and a man inhaling keyboard cleaner on a sidewalk.

drug addicts are taking over the city, because they have more rights than you do, we know that because people have stopped sending people to jail for things like huffing keyboard cleaner on the street or defecating on trees. here's fox 5's report. >> people living on west 21st concrete between eighth and ninth avenues are trying to cope with an influx of drug addicts, who turned their once lovely neighborhood into a 24-hour drug and sex den, all of this happening in front of a school. we were there in june at ps-11, where children have seen too much nudity, sex acts, drug use and threatening behavior. after buying crystal crack and meat men, users walk down west 21st street looking for a place to get high, just like this person appeared to do in front of our cameras. in this these exclusive surveillance images, you can see the illegal drug use. residents say the problem is

getting worse, despite their efforts to get help and increase security. >> last week w i was gardening over here, and i tried to chase someone urinating on a car, and the person called a knife on me. i called police and back away. >> how much longer can you put up with this? >> not much longer. i've started thinking about selling my apartment. a lot of people in this area have been talking about that. >> tucker: so sad. that was reporter lisa evers, by the way. cities need to be run for productive law-abiding people. that's why we have cities. that's why we have civilization. they cannot be run on behalf of people whose lives and behavior destroy civilization. can't invert the formula or everything else falls apart and people leave. that's why new york city has lost hundreds of thousands of residents in the last two years. eric adams is the new mayor, but the city is getting worse. let's hope that changes. speaking of change, all of a

sudden out of nowhere it is acceptable in the media to engage in overt race hatred. here's the most latest example. journalists are celebrating a book called "the last white man." it's a fictional account, but effectively it celebrates the elimination of an entire race, which used to be called genocide, and we're against that, but not anymore. the author of the book said it would be, quote, the beginning of something great if an entire race disappears. "wired" magazine agrees, calling the book a glimpse of a future without white people. of course they're batting that. when did we get behind the idea of genocide being a good thing? they're saying it out loud. what should we say? pedro this seems like a sea change. you didn't used to be allowed to say i hate an entire race of people and hope that their

extinction. "wired" magazine wouldn't have their back on that, but through? what is this? >> it's important to do an overview of "the last white man." basically a character suffers through an apockko lips. a book like this, somewhere between racial permationist literature could only be written about one group. that privilege is reserved for whites. there's a whole industry for this stuff, tucker. there are no shortage of eager consumers who eat this stuff up, because they believe, truly, that there's no limit to the amount of demeaning that we can inflict on whites. and again, it goes beyond bad

books, like "the last white man." i'll give you a different but related of this phenomenon. the minneapolis public schools and local teachers union have recently instituted a new policy in which when it comes to downsizing and layoffs, the rule is white teachers must be laid off before any teacher of color. in other words, they've codified racial discrimination against whites. in real life, not in fiction. in an age where we talk a lot about discrimination and hate speech, we've actually formally instituted it in the united states against the group who we blame for this stuff, and that is obviously white people. >> tucker: yeah. i mean, racism doesn't ever end well. at this scale, it will end badly. i hope they stop it immediately. it's beyond belief. i appreciate the clarity. thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: liz cheney lives in northern virginia, always has.

for some reason she represents wyoming in the house of representatives. thankfully, it looks like she's going to lose re-election tonight in the primary, but she's going to be a lot richer. liz cheney got extremely rich, not representing wyoming. how did she do that? do they pay that well in congress? we've got the numbers next.

>> tucker: it's primary night in the state of wyoming. you know what that means. it means that very soon liz cheney will have an endowed charity, writing a national for "national review," and releasing a book from simon & schuster called "democracy." that's just our guess. she'll lose tonight, because god exists. we want to ask the question, how did liz cheney get so rich? she's been a member of congress for six years. in 2017, her net worth was $7 million, a lot for someone

with no skills, but that's what she has. now she's worth more than $44 million when we looked at her financial disclosure forms. probably an honest answer for this, but how did liz cheney make more than $36 million in six years of public service? that's $6 million a year. good dig. she didn't report any earned income. her top listed assets were city bankings $3 million, and money from her husband and a family trust. we don't know. whatever the case, it's not wyoming's problem anymore. after tonight, liz cheney is going back to where she's from, virginia, probably running for president too. we look forward to that with great joy. maybe she can become kamala harris' running mate. a lot of leaking from the doj recently, but somehow they have

not released anything about jeffrey epstein, including his client list. why is that? well, elon musk, big picture man, if there ever was one, asked that question recently, quote, no one in the media cares, he wrote. well, that's true. while we're on the topic of epstein, why didn't the magistrate represent several of his several employees including thinks pilot and schedule. hmm. weird. a podcast host, who doggedly follows the story, joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. you followed this full time, one of the few who does. why haven't we got any of this information in the form of leaks to the "new york times," do you think? >> in my opinion, it has to do with how far it goes. this is such a gigantic in scope of operation that he was running that if they really dug deep that it would be almost

earth-shattering what they would discover. if you take a look at similar cases in new york at a similar time for similar crimes, r. kelly, keith rainiery, both hit with rico charges, but epstein, maxwell, no rico there. i wonder why? >> tucker: yeah. it's kind of weird. they grab some of alex jones' text, that he's the real criminal, not jeffrey epstein, right? the second they got his text, you know everything, every embarrassing thing he ever said will be in the "new york times," but they're affirmative protecting jeffrey epstein, not even alive anymore. it's one of the weirdest things i've ever seen. >> it's been going on since the "vanity fair" article back in 2002, the puff piece on jeffrey epstein back then. maria farmer outed this guy in 1995, 1996, nobody followed up on it, pursued him the way they

should have, and it was happening under the nose of the fdny, who loves to get on their ivory tower and preach down to the rest of us on a regular basis how bad we live our lives. meanwhile, he was running around in their district, for four presidencies, hanging out at the white house, and nobody cares what's going on until the survivors themselves decide to take the case to the people, and we see what's happened since then. there's been an avalanche effect. they've had to react to it. >> tucker: really quick, you keep reading suggestions that there's a trove of videotape of other people at epstein's properties. do you think that's true? >> well, what i can tell you is all of the survivors who had access to his townhouse, all of them that had access to palm beach, they all said that there were surveillance rooms in those houses set up for that specific purpose, to take video of everybody who came in, and to document it. so we're talking about the people that actually lived through this telling us that,

and nobody cares? i mean, when ""the daily mail"" is leading the charge to go after somebody like princess andrews, not the gray lady or "washington post," that tells you everything you need to know about where the legacy media is at. >> tucker: exactly right. he was connected to various intelligence agencies, which might be the real answer. bobby, i appreciate you're staying on the story when few others are. thanks a lot. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: so wall street in a lot of cases now making investment decisions based on something called esg. esg? what happens when you invest according to esg. you can attack an entire country, but a new firm is pushing back against this trend run by a friend of this show, very smart person, giving americans the opportunity to invest without being subjected to other people's political agendas. he's going to roll it out live after the break

large out-of-state corporations have set their sights on california. they've written prop 27, to allow online sports betting. they tell us it will fund programs for the homeless. but read prop 27's fine print. 90% of profits go to out-of-state corporations, leaving almost nothing for the homeless. no real jobs are created here. but the promise between our state and our sovereign tribes would be broken forever. these out-of-state corporations don't care about california. but we do. stand with us.

>> tucker: so the federal government has a habit decades-long habit of classifying information you have every right to see, because it

gives bureaucrats power. they have clearances you don't. interesting information, including a lot of information on ritual cattle mutilation. over the years, a couple of u.s. senators have called on the fbi to investigate the mutilations, because cattle are a commodity o. ranchers lose money when they die. there's been a number of federal investigations into cattle mutilations. we looked into how the government suspended to all of this. it's fascinating. >> on multiple occasions, sitting u.s. senators have demanded the fbi investigate these mutilations. the fbi has declassified hundreds of documents related to mutilation. they detail the lengths law enforcement has gone to solve this mystery. in september of 1974, there was a surge of mutilations in the great plains. the situation drove senator carl curtis of nebraska to demand an fbi investigation into what he called a series of incidents stretching from oklahoma to

nebraska. the bureau referred the good to the fish and wildlife service. in 1975, senator floyd haskell of colorado, a democrat, followed up with the fbi once more. fbi director clarence kelly responded by acknowledging the reported use of an unidentified helicopter near the scene of a mutilation in colorado, but the director shrugged off the case, saying these actions do not constitute a violation of federal law, and therefore are not subject to fbi jurisdiction. in 1978, senator harrison schmidt, a former astronaut, who had walked on the moon, reached out directly to then attorney general griffin bell, requesting that the justice department reexamine its jurisdiction in this area. schmidt was deeply concerned about the mutilations. he told a local paper, either we've got a ufo situation or we've got a massive, massive conspiracy that is enormously well funded.

>> tucker: it's like a lot of other stories, what they told you was crazy, a conspiracy, turns out to be real. so esg may not being something you deal with every day, but it's completely changed the world, how wall street allocates money. it is not good at all. we know that because countries all over the world have been pushed into following its precepts, in sri lanka, the netherlands, ghana, all of these countries have pursued high esg scores and hurt themselves. so is there an alternative to esg? well, you need to be pretty sophisticated to think not, but there's an alternate to it.

the executive chairman and cofounder of strife asset management, joins us tonight. there's been a lot of complaining about esg. i think virtually everyone realizes it's a bad idea to let ideology control your investments, but you have an alternative to it. what is it? >> tucker, we're solving a problem through the market, asset managers are using the money of everyday citizens to damage the american energy sector, most harmed by the esg demands. they tell companies to produce less energy. that's led to a generational american energy crisis. higher gas prices, less successful american energy companies, begging foreign countries to supply america's energy needs. we don't need to wait for politicians to solve that problem. we can solve it through the market. that's what we're doing.

what strive did last week, we listed on the new york exchange an exchange traded fund, an energy index fund, call drll. drill. it delivers a really simple mandate to u.s. energy companies as a shareholder to drill more, to frac to do whatever allows companies to be successful without regard to anyone else's climate change agenda or social agenda, leading energy companies to be less successful and make more money, but even more importantly for the country to also shore up american energy security. people don't have to wait until november to vote for. people vote every day with their dollars. my hope is that we've got over $100 million in the first week that makes this the fastest launch of the year, and appears to be driven by grassroots support, everyday citizens joining this movement. what i hope to see is this energy fund get bigger than the comparable energy fund offered by blackrock or other asset

managers to send a powerful signal to the american energy sector that actually there's a new citizen mandate that demands energy companies be the best version of themselves rather than vehicles for advancing social ideology. >> tucker: a lot of people participate in esg whether they want to or not, investing your money without your knowledge in things that hurt huh. is it possible for normal people to participate in this alternative? >> oh, actually this is designed for restoring the voice of the everyday citizen in the american economy, starting with the energy sector. one of the interesting things about last week was the average trade size that we saw in the new york stock exchange, drll, drill, was less than $5,000. the other index funds, or other etf that launched over $100 million in the first week, it was millions of dollars on average. this is a bottom-up revolution, i think, tucker, where we can power every day citizens with acknowledge and their own capital to send this different message to american energy

companies, which is pretty simple. >> tucker: man. i'm rooting for you. we'll be right back.
