sure can. they can do whatever they want to. leslie from brandon, mississippi. why a navy suit every night? you look much better in black. a black suit? i don't think so. i mean, i'm not gutfeld, in more ways than one. "tucker" is up next. always remember, i'm watters. this is my world. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." john fetterman is a trust fund kid, took money from his parents deep into middle age, when he decided what to do with the rest of his life, be the u.s. senator from pennsylvania. the problem is fate intervened, and he can no longer speak. we feel bad about that. everyone does. because of that stroke, he needs electronic assistance in order to communicate with other

people. he can't talk on his own. it's not a right wing conspiracy theory. it's not q anon. he uses a software program to understand those around him and to talk. this software is not a hearing aid. fetterman doesn't need a hearing aid. he's not deaf. he's not hearing impaired. instead this program takes words and rearranges them into language that john fetterman can understand, because his brain can no longer do that for him. that's sad for transhumannists, though, it's thrilling. this is an amazing moment. this is neil armstrong on the moon. here you have one of the most famous politicians in the country merging with a computer. this is the future they imagine. they're thrilled for it. for everyone else, for the voters of pennsylvania, it raises questions. for example, where does the

software end and john fetterman's consciousness begin? we don't know. we can't know. but it's obvious that pennsylvania could very well be sending a computer program to the u.s. senate, where inevitably it will be hacked. yesterday msnbc sat down with john fetterman and his thinking machine to assess where the man ends and the machine begins. the initial impressions were not at all encouraging. >> we had a monitor set up so that he could read my questions, because he still has lingering auditory processing issues as a result of the stroke, which means he has a hard time understanding what he's hearing. once he reads the question, he's able to understand. you'll hear he also still some problems, some challenges, with speech. i will say, katie, just in the small talk prior to the interview before the close captioning was up and running, it did seem that he had a hard

time understanding our conversations. >> tucker: well, good for her for admitting that. that's a rival channel. that's msnbc. she should tell viewers that, and she did. she said before the machine was turned on, john fetterman couldn't understand human language, not even small talk. once the machine was plugged, she sounded nearly human. don't worry. everything will be fine in the senate as long as there's not a power outage. not like the electricity goes down in this country. we have renewables to keep john fetterman voting for the next five years. build more wind farms. that's the plan. she did ask a follow-up, how do we know your machine isn't going to break, john fetterman? can we see a doctor's report on this? here's you how that exchange went. >> can you do this job on day

one? >> of course. >> so you're say you're on the road to full recovery. but right now voters really have to take your word for it. we've asked for your medical records. we've asked to have a conversation with someone from your medical team to interview your physician. you've declined those requests. why? >> i feel we have been very transparent in a lot of different ways, when our doctor has already given a letter saying i'm able to serve, and to be running. >> i mean, respectfully that letter from your physician, that was six months ago. don't voters deserve to know your status now? >> being in front of thousands and thousands of people, having interviews and getting around all across pennsylvania, that gives everybody and the voters, they can decide if that's the issue. >> tucker: he's reading that off a screen. by the way, we're taking him at

his word that there's not a staffer backstage typing out the answers because he he can't formulate that. you can feel sympathetic, that's sad to watch, but he wants to run the federal government, a body of 100, the most powerful legislative body in the world, and he wants to be a member of it. over at cbs, ed o'keefe asked the obvious question, will pennsylvanians be comfortable with someone representing them who had to conduct a tv interview this way. that's a mild way of putting it, but it's a fair observation. the guy is reading off his answers off the screen with the reporter three feet away. that's the definition of impairment. and again, this is a very serious job. but others in the media scoffed at the idea that was a problem at all. in fact, far from being a problem, it was an asset, because if the equity agenda means anything, it means that incompetent people ought to be

in charge. that's equity. as one councilwoman put it, questions about him, it's enablist. we need more diversity in elected office, including people with speech impediments. we desperately need that. that's absolutely right. actually we're not talking about a speech impediment. she's telling us he has a stutter. remember when they told us joe biden's speech, he had just a stutter? it didn't prevent him from understanding people's speech. "the new yorker" answered that question with a question. would they treat a deaf person like this for needing assistance? oh, so if you have questions about john fetterman, you hate the deaf. you're a hearingist, bigot. we're going to close down your

bank account at jpmorgan. enablist. again, it's not really relevant to the senate race in pennsylvania, because once again john fetterman doesn't have hearing problems. he's not deaf. this isn't deafness. this is brain damage. so "the independence" tried to tie up loose ends and used an analogy. how is this different from tammy duckworth or madison cawthorne needing a wheelchair? oh, so this is exactly the same as being wounded in defense of your own country. it's a war injury. ha-ha-ha! and then john fetterman's wife, who came into this country as an illegal alien, by the way, wondered the same thing. and we're quoting, truly appalling. have these journalists never heard of the americans with disabilities act? really curious to learn how they

tealfeel about wheelchairs and glasses, end quote. really? so your questions about john fetterman's mental health, the acute of his brain, his ability to talk and listen and reason, use his higher faculties, those questions are banned by the american with disabilities act, because he's not only an incompetent guy trying to take over the country. no, he's disabled. quote, is it the position of nbc news that a senator with glasses cannot be trusted in office because they use assistive technology to assist their disability? ha-ha-ha! so unbelievable. not only can you ask questions about the guy, whether he can represent you in the united states senate, he's fine. and, by the way, the reason he's not fine, is the reason to vote

for him. they're hitting you from both sides. ha-ha-ha. if you know he's profoundly disabled, you're a bigot. whew! they got you coming and going. have you heard this before? does it sound kind of familiar, where they take something with an obvious impairment and use him to accrue more power for themselves? it's not really about the disabled person. it's about them. and then if you ask questions about it, shut up, bigot! does the term greta thunburg come to mind, the girl who's always lecturing you about global warming? she needed help and concern from adults. at the age of 11, she lost 22 pounds, because according to her parents, she was so depressed about global warming she couldn't eat. then she was diagnosed a whole suite of serious problems, ocd, mutism, and asperger's.

the people around her didn't see it as sad at all. they saw it as an advantage for them, because she could be used to accrue more power to them. and you weren't allowed to say anything about it, because she was disabled, which, by the way, you weren't allowed to notice. >> you will come to us young people for hope. how dare you. you have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. we are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is fairy tales of eternal economic growth. how dare you. >> tucker: you look at that, and on one level you think why is this person lecturing me, someone who's had never had a job before, in charge of our energy policy? that's crazy. then the other level, the more deep level, the more important level, you realize what a tragedy you just saw.

here's someone who is profoundly troubled, who needs real help and care and empathy and love from the adults in her life, but she's not getting any of that. instead she's being carted out like a sideshow freak for the profit of others. they're using that child in exactly the way they're using joe biden and john fetterman -- and, by the way, kamala harris, the dimmest person to ever work in american politics -- none of them have any idea what's going on, being used by people for the benefit. those people. but you can't say anything, because you would be against people with disabilities, and the ada prohibits you from doing, right? you're supposed to accommodate greta's disability, pretend her words are profound. just like the fake poet at biden's administration. oh, she was so great. we dare you to say she wasn't. ha-ha-ha! she was ridiculous.

in greta's case, of course the media loved it, because they could use her too. she could die and they wouldn't care. they'd find someone else to use as a marionette for their own political ambitions. watch them. >> perhaps the most impressive and impassioned remarks have come not from a prime minister or president but a 16-year-old. >> a teenager on strike for the planet. >> our house is on fire. >> "times" person of the year. >> change is coming, whether you like it or not. >> she's leading a generation of climate kids. >> that's a horse to be reckoned with. >> the swedish girl who inspired so much. she said she was in a deep depression when she understood the warnings of science, but turned the depression into action. you can see the result here today. >> greta's passion does reflect what really is happening. we're still arguing whether or not it exists? >> tucker: she turned that

depression into action. well, no, she didn't, actually. she's living in hell, like most emotionally unbalanced children. she's suffering, but you don't care because you can use her. you did nothing to support her, to love her, to cure her serious mental illness. no. you used her to take more power. if anyone says anything about it, if you think children shouldn't go on television to talk about climate policy and energy, then you're a bigot. you hate children. you ate greta thunberg. by the way, as you sit and watch the results of the lunatic policy she's espousing without even understanding europe's energy grid collapsing then you're a bad person. as fox reported, attacks expose

what she must face. no. they used her suffering to her own benefit. "the washington post" complained autistic young people reserve attention and respect. really? whose pawn is she? yours. there was a study of analysis of ageism, enablism, and youtube videos about climate activist greta thunberg. oh. so again you need to listen to her because she's not well, but if you note she's not well you're a bigot. it's the same, exactly the same dynamic you're watching with the president of the united states, joe biden, who is not well and everybody knows it. joe biden mourned the deft of congresswoman jackie walorski publicly, and then asked, totally befuddled, why isn't she

here at the event. if you noticed that happened, you're the ageist. >> come on. you can't go after him for not giving aid to florida, not tackling the infrastructure, he's giving aid to ukraine. so you can't go after him for that, but you can go aof him for forgetting that someone has passed. she passed last month, not like 100 years ago. >> i think what it really shows is that this country is so ageist. this country has a problem with age. i think they need to stop weaponizing his age. i hate that about this country. >> tucker: ha-ha-ha. this country is a problem with age. so if you don't like the fact the commander in chief, the guy that commands our nuclear arsenal is deranged because of age, which he is, then you're the bigot. but underneath all of this is this single most cynical political move in the history of

this country. that is elevating joe biden precisely because he is fading away. because he is demend. that's why they chose him. they had an option actually. his name was bernie sanders. we're hardly endorsing bernie sanders' program, but bernie sanders can think clearly. the democratic party hated what he had to say. so they picked a guy, who had nothing going on downstairs, flatlining mentally, so they could control him. that's exactly what they're doing with fetterman. chris bedford is the executive director of common-sense society, which we badly need. chris bedford, thank you so much for coming on. >> good to be here. >> tucker: so you're a bigot if you want a senator who can use language? >> that's kind of wild to see one of those examples that you posted of tammy duckworth, somebody in a wheelchair, beat a sitting republican senator, senator mark kirk, because he

had suffered from a stroke. because he had suffered from that stroke in office, he lost the endorsement from the "chicago tribune," got hard questions by reports about his ability to do the job. fetterman told us a few months ago, aside from missing a word, mushing one or two up, he was fine. now we see he's completely not fine. people want to call it ableism. the point of an election is whether or not you're able to do the job. you don't get a participation trophy just for showing up here. >> tucker: ha-ha-ha. >> we're at a point right now, they make you say a man is a woman, a woman is a man, they make that greta thunberg is the voice of the future. how easy is it to say tonight wonder if he can do the job, because that's just enablist. that seems so easy after all the other lies we've been forced to say to keep our jobs. >> tucker: they're going a step further. again, they're getting it from both sides.

they're saying the fact that he isn't actually able is the reason to vote for him, because as the moron on the new york city council said we need more diversity like that, the enabled, the incapable. >> when i was a kid, i had a rack of trophies. i said to my dad, what's that giant trophy? he said, you get that if you win something. which blew my mind. i wasn't that great at sports. they're trying to push it. you get it based on your identity, on showing you, you get it based on the fact that you tried. that doesn't cut it if you want to be one of the 100 most powerful people in the world. voters have to decide. that's why they finally put him on the campaign trail to answer questions, because the ghost candidate wasn't going to cut it with the voters anymore. >> tucker: so cynical. i can't believe what's happening. chris bedford, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> tucker: so-year and a half later it's clear that blm was a scam.

did it improve the life of a single black person in america? no. it did change the country forever however. our friend candace owens has a new documentary, and she takes a close look at what that was. she joins us to explain.

- [narrator] if your business kept on employees through the pandemic, getrefunds.com can qualify you for a payroll tax refund of up to $26,000 per employee, even if you got ppp. and all it takes is eight minutes to find out. then we'll work with you to fill out your forms and submit the application. that easy. getrefunds.com has helped businesses like yours claim over $1 billion in payroll tax refunds. but it's only available for a limited time. duckworth or madison cawthorn needing a wheelchair? oh, so this is exactly the same as being wounded in defense of your own country. it's a^ war injury. ha-ha-ha! and then john fetterman's wifet,

we desperately need more affordable housing, but san francisco takes longer than anywhere to issue new housing permits. proposition d is the only measure that speeds up construction of affordable new homes by removing bureaucratic roadblocks. while prop e makes it nearly impossible to build more housing. and the supervisors who sponsored e know it. join me, habitat for humanity and the carpenters union in rejecting prop e and supporting prop d to build more affordable housing

>> tucker: remember the blm movement, may of 2020, when every high school girl in america was required to put a black square on her instagram page? remember that. blm, everyone is for blm. mitt romney marched with blm. what was that? it was a scam, actually, it turns out. it was a scam. it hurt the country. candace owens has done a documentary on this. there was a video on instagram complaining about candace owens' reporting. watch this. >> so we are headed there. we're yet to see black people in this neighborhood. there's definitely somebody home. hello. i was just looking to speak to whoever is at this property. sir? hello? i don't know if he's going to

get someone. i see a very cute german shepherd it looks like. >> this morning i woke up to candace owens being outside my house with a news crew. >> i can't see how this purchase helped black lives anywhere in america. i can't even find a black life on the property. the dog is not even black. so there's that. >> so they're literally trying to destroy us. they're trying to destroy me. they're trying to destroy the movement. i really -- i just need us to be stronger. >> tucker: when you live in a multimillion dollar home in laurel canyon, it can be hard. candace owens is the person who caused the suffering you just saw, the producer of brand-new documentary. one of the bravest people we know, one of the smartest. thank you very much. first of all, thank you for doing this. that whole moment is forgotten. why did you think it was

important to make a documentary about it? >> because of exactly what you said, because they want you to forget it, right? they da these things, sort of pump you in the face, and move on. they say, nobody look any further. we're moving on to a different narrative. it's important to pause, reflect, ask a very big question, which no journalist was interested in at the time. we were required to put up a black square or donate to black lives matter, make a statement on line about how black people were suffering, so black lives matter would receive $80 million in one year. nobody asked where the money was going. they turned me into public enemy number one for talking about george floyd, not in the capacity of a hero, but had enough fentanyl in his system to make him die. that made people angry, because they were invested in black lives matter. they robbed americans. they robbed americans' emotions,

extracted emotions, used black pain to create confusion and take millions upon millions, tens of millions of people from people. where did the money go? the documentary explores. people will be shocked. i hope people are behind the transgender movement, because that's where a lot of this money went. then there's a dead trail. one thing you're afforded, when you decide you're transgender, you can change your name. you don't know who these people were originally, but they received hundreds of millions of dollars in cash. >> tucker: i can't control myself. i know, because i was there, and i watched it. you were basically banned from all media, including conservative outlets for telling the truth, the factual documented truth about george floyd. you were not allowed to tell the truth, which really was -- >> exactly right. >> tucker: let me ask you, do you know anybody, apart from the ladies living in laurel canyon, and the transgenders you just mentioned, any normal black person who benefited from blm?

>> no. it's the exact opposite. i can tell you millions of black people who suffered because they live in the inner cities that were looted and rioted. they picked up left, because crime is allowed to take place, and these are zones in which there can be no policing. these people are suffering economically, because of the blm scam, which benefited nobody. there are a lot of questions. in my personal opinion, this was a money laundering scheme. it's interesting that the individuals, decided to host a joe biden inauguration party at the black lives matter house. my personal charity, after i announced i was doing this documentary, we received a letter two weeks after the trailer dropped from the irs saying they were going to investigate my charity. i welcomed the investigation, because i'm not a scam artist. i do real work in the inner city communities. this is biden's irs once again saying you're not allowed to investigate anything that the

media is complicit in. >> tucker: that's unbelievable. you're a brave person. they're going to come for you at some point, as you know. candace owens, appreciate it. thank you so much. >> absolutely. thank you so much. >> tucker: so all over the west illegal aliens, people who show up in a country without permission, are being housed in very nice digs. some of the best hotels in the world. including in great britain. it's an amazing story. why is this happening exactly? we'll speak to a man who runs a hotel who's faced this. we'll be right back

hello, i'm franklin graham. it's hurricane season. we've already seen some incredible devastation. many people find themselves in different kinds of storms in life. and we need an anchor to hang onto in these storms. the anchor that we need is jesus christ. he said, "i'll never leave you, or forsake you, and if we put our faith and trust in him, we know that he will take us through the storms of this life all the way to heaven one day where we'll spend eternity with him. god sent jesus christ to this earth to save us from our sins. he took our sins to a cross where he shed his blood and died and was buried, and on the third day, god raised him to life. would you like to invite him to come into your life and be the anchor of your soul? you can do that by praying this prayer with me right now. just say, "god, i'm a sinner, i'm sorry, forgive me. i want to turn from my sins. i believe that jesus christ is your son. i want to trust him as my savior, and follow him as my lord.

if you prayed that prayer, call that number right now that's on the screen. god bless you.

hi, i'm karen. i lost 41 pounds with golo and i've kept it off for a full year. i've been dieting for decades. with golo, i can enjoy my life. i don't feel like i'm restricted, i feel like i'm just living my life. >> tucker: eric adams is the mayor of new york, often brags that new york city is a sanctuary city. in they showed up, he declared a state of emergency, and he's giving the illegal aliens far better housing than average new

yorkers can afford. watch. >> the city is scrambling to provide resources for the thousands of migrants arriving in new york city. city officials are still struggling to answer exactly how many migrants, including children, are currently living in the city. but the city shelter system is already overwhelmed. they will be opening up 11 hotels for asylum seekers, and they will be designating a new shelter just for migrants. new york is a right to shelter city, meaning the city is legally required to provide transitionial housing for those looking for a place to stay. >> tucker: he somehow up in a country uninvited, break that country's law in getting there, show total contempt for that country's culture and law, and then the authorities reward you with something better than the people who live in that country and pay taxes get. okay. it's a humiliation exercise obviously. it's not just happening here. in cornwall, great britain, the british government is demanding

that hotels house asylum seekers. the owner of the hotel says he's been offered a million pounds by the government to house migrants for a year. we thought that was an interesting story, and we wanted to talk to the owner. thank you so much for joining us. so a million pounds. i mean, europe, an innkeeper in the end, it's a grand inn, but that's your job. why wouldn't you take the money? >> to be honest with you, when i first heard about it i thought it was a joke. i called the company myself. it was a bona fide offer. my concern was initially, these asylum seekers would trash the hotel. obviously camelot castle, you know, sits at the b birthplace f king arthur. it's a historic location.

what was shocking was that the person that was an agent for the government set, oh, don't worry, just take photographs of the rooms, and if the hotel is trashed in any way, well, the government will pay for the entire refurbishment of it. well, of course, that's not government money. that's taxpayers' money. philosophically i'm completely as opposed to the idea. although for a fleeting second you think, well, it was a very generous offer. but, you know, such -- this is -- people talk about cultural destruction. and what happens is, is that such an activity would completely destroy the local community. they expected us to lay off most of our staff. many of our staff have worked

with us for, you know, many, many years. some of them are elderly. you know, when you change the economy of a local village in england, a countryside village, and you have in excess of a hundred of these asylum seekers, who don't understand british culture, coming into the area, of course, it would completely disrupt the local community. so personally, i'm completely philosophically as opposed. my personal view is that this is deliberate cultural destruction. >> tucker: yes. exactly right. >> yeah. you know, it was shocking. you know, they just expected us to lay off all of our staff. i think they said, well, you need to keep three staff on. i mean, to give you an idea, it

would be aiken to president biden putting up illegal immigrants in the waldorf astoria in new york. it's that type of an outrage. i must say, i decided to go public on this story, because i sincerely can see this is happening all over britain. i said obviously some hoteliers are going to take the money, you know, because this government ih a way that the economy is very tough over here. so some people are going to take the money. and sure enough, i've been getting emails in from all over england, from people saying, my, gosh, these people have come in to our town, obviously culturally, if you have people from a different community, it's a different effect, you know. and it destroys the community.

>> tucker: of course. well, as you pointed out bravely, and so fluently, destroying the culture is exactly the point of the exercise. exactly. i can't tell you how much i appreciate your coming on and saying that. john mappin, god bless you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: we talked to an entrepreneur that told us she lost her business because of lies written by "the washington post" technology reporter. she's suing lorenz now. the ceo and founder of the center for american liberty joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. tell us what this suit alleges. >> well, as you mentioned, tucker, taylor lorenz, who has jumped around from various publications, now at "the washington post," has made her career out of clout-chasing, increasing their stature by

picking victims who happen to be on the upswing in the public eye and attacking them viciously, first of all, trying to side up to them, make friends with them, and ultimately gutting them like a fish, using that material for her pieces. along the way, violating all kinds of ethical rules in journalism. in this case, she focused on a client, running influencer houses and managing talent on tiktok, you know, believe it or not, it's a huge industry worth billions of dollars, and our client was on the upswing there. given five hours to respond to her hit piece questions in writing, which is her mo, the mo of other dishonestly journalists, she was provided with information debunking many of the lies she published in her story, and having written information in hand, debunking these guys lies, she went aheadd published anyway, and followed it up with posts on social media, lying about our client'

business practices, specific cubbing, the way these houses were set up and safety and security around them, calling our client a bad actor on social media, and basically destroying our client's career and causing her damage in the tune of millions of dollars. now, this isn't the first time taylor lorenz has tried to do this. she beefed with her co-workers at "the new york times," last week at "the washington post," and other journalists. this lady is a one-woman wrecking crew. i'm hoping this we will be the ones to hold her accountable. >> tucker: she's a bully who needs to be restrained. i appreciate you telling us about this. harmeet dhillon, thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: joe biden has pardoned a bunch of nell owners

right before the midterm election. why did he do it? that's next.

prop 27 sends 90s from online sports betting to out-of-state corporations in places like new york and boston.

no wonder it's so popular... out there. yeah! i can't believe those idiots are going to fall for this. 90%! hey mark, did you know california is sending us all their money? suckers. -those idiots! [ laughter ] imagine that, a whole state made up of suckers. vote no on 27. it's a terrible deal for california. we win. you lose.

>> tucker: well, wasn't that long ago, like last year, that pretty much every big corporation in this country followed orders from the biden administration to make the covid vaccines mandatory. then all the liars got on tv and said they're the best. then all the entertainment figures and the late-night comics repeated that. "oh, you've got to get the vaccine. if you don't, you're an idiot and should be fired." of course, they were all acting on the instructions of the biden administration. most democrats went through it, even those that knew this was the large propaganda campaign propagated in history. some didn't go through with it, scott street, but decided in the end that civil liberties were more punish politics. as an attorney, he's fighting back against companies like disney and twitter that really hurt people on the basis of propaganda campaign agenda on the part of the biden administration. we talked to him. here's a part. >> i hear people say, everyone

knows vaccines are mandatory. everyone knows that mandatory vaccination is just normal, even though it's not. the question really becomes, like, there's a defense which the employer can raise to say, look, you know, i'm invading your privacy rights, umm, but i have to. right? so this is the -- this is the -- this is the excuse used very, very early on when people thought the vaccines prevented transmission, right? we all thought we were told by dr. fauci the vaccines would stop covid. right? you take this vaccine, you're for the going to get covid. you're not going to spread it to anybody. under those circumstances, you know, couldn't an employer require something like this? maybe, maybe not. but when you get to a point where it's -- yeah, this doesn't stop the spread, doesn't stop you from being infected, only affects how sick you get, i think the justification for it

evaporates. >> tucker: what's your guess as to the motive here? >> my guess, tucker, it's about control, which i'd actually argue it was always about control. it's about unit discipline. it's i'm your boss. >> tucker: ha-ha-ha. unit discipline. >> that's a quote f, seared in y memory. i'm your employer. i told you to do this. you said no. now you need to be punished. >> tucker: so there are some liberals still liberal on the questions of civil liberties and free speech, who really believe it is your body, your choice. there are a few. we're always happy to talk to them. watch the whole conversation on "tucker carlson today" on foxnation.com. biden understands his party may face a repudiation next month.

he used student loan debt, using taxpayer money, and drained the strategic gas reserve, impoverishing the understands, and now pardoning thousands of people who possessed marijuana. all to do with human rights, bt politics. 2,000 people in california were prosecuted for marijuana possession. >> i strongly believe in the -- and the majority of americans agree -- nobody should have to go to jail for smoking weed. [cheers and applause] right? so we start with that. then we are, to your point, urging -- and the president has been very clear -- we're urging governments in states to take our lead and pardon people who have been criminalized for possession of marijuana. congress needs to act. we're 29 days away from the

midterms. who are you voting for? i encourage you to vote accordingly. >> tucker: so obviously kamala harris doesn't care, these people don't care about the ramifications about anything they they do, they can't see beyond the next election. what are the ramifications? our guest has written about crime for many years, joining us tonight. thank you very much for coming on. so for people who are saying, no, you shouldn't send people to jail for possessing marijuana, what's your retort? why do you think this sets a bad precedent? >> well, they're not being sent to jail for using marijuana. this is a complete lie. you know, this is an incredibly telling moment about the democratic world view, tucker, with voters rightfully terrified about the ongoing post-george floyd crime wave, this is a moment to rebrand the democratic party as the party of law and order. what does biden do? he accuses cops of racism that

whites and blacks use marijuana at well rights, but the criminal justice system treats blacks more harshly. drug treatment admission status show that blacks are addicted to and abuse marijuana at much higher rates. at any case, partner use is , possession convictsin 2014 way big blunt. these possession convictions are always pled down from more serious charges. what's this initiative all about, tucker? simply bashing america yet again for endemic racism. that's the fundamental democratic world view, where america's cities continue to descend into anarchy. >> tucker: boy, and they certainly have. these are drug trafficking charges that have been pled down to possession. that's what you're saying? >> exactly.

nobody goes to federal prison for possessing a joint. you're either a drug trafficker or you've committed an even worse crime. so you plead down. there's nobody not even in the federal prison system today for marijuana possession. but there were only maybe dozens in the past. but again, this whole thing is built on this lie, that the aclu put out there that blacks and whites use marijuana at equal rates. that's not true. the criminal justice system is not racist. america is not racist. it's the democrats who are destroying the country. >> tucker: i think that's a fair assessment. heather mac donald, thank you for that, always, for your data. always appreciate it. important straight ahead, a shocking update on the fishing competition we told you about the other night.
