and last night, tucker carlsen did not do that either. he deflected and refused to acknowledge that a clear connection exists between messages on his shows and views championed by mass shooters. he dismissed the shooter' is 180 page rent as a product of a diseased mind while omitting that the shooter's mind was diseased and warped precisely by online conspiracy theories that are echoed regularly on his show. the plain fact is that the shooter responsible for the violent murder of 10 innocent lives espoused the same false and racist conspiracy theories that tucker carlson as pushed to his audience 400 times and which far too many maga republicans including former president trump are happy to magnify. tucker carlson should come out and not just condemn racial violence, not just condemn replacement theory, but refused to give these falls and racist conspiracy theories a blackboard. let me say it again, anchors like tucker carlson and all maga republicans and voices of influence across the political spectrum should not just denounce racist vi

but what extremism researchers know is tucker carlsen's rhetoric is very present on these forums.of people on these forms view tucker carlsen as an ally in presenting messagi to a layman'sudnce. so its not unlikely this shooter encountered tucker carlsen, his rhetoric, and a statement about immigration, people of color, would not be unlikely he encountered them online. it is important to point out that presenting a strped down version of this theory, which is what tucker carlsen does -- he does not explicitly make references to racial superiority or explicitly make references to anti-semitiswhen he talks about the great replacement. but what he does do is give viewers context clues that allow them to make those connections themselves. he regularly attacked jewish billionaire george soros is an enemy western civilization, uses racialist land which when discussi the theory. and what that does is make it easier for his audience to find these more extremist spaces, make those connections and direct them to a place where when a shooting like this happens and you have one third of the p

carson -- tucker carlsen? i am sure his people are watching this andy will immediately call -- when you be willing to do that? -- guest: the only time foxx whatever happens on is pretty taped. they would not want to get the reality reflected back to them. i think there is a real fear. if i was -- i understand what they are scared because we are able to find a punch. i would not, not because i am not scared. you can come to me and i still wouldn't. the new york times confirm that tucker carlsen is an enabler of white supremacy. he had done a lot of research to quantify how deeply connected he is to real right supremacist. -- white person prime cysts -- supremacists. they quantify how much of that content he is reflecting on to his programming in the relationship there. i would not do it because i don't want to help foxx and i don't want to pretend that there -- is a legitimate conversation. if he changes his tune, i might consider it. i think fox news is a partisan political operation and the single most destru

charlie kirk, tucker carlsen, a lot of people who have done some great things.ause] senator josh hawley, congressman marjorie taylor greene, congressman jim, great advocates for me all the way through. the thing about politics is you realize it can be an ugly business sometimes, but once people -- when people step up and step up early, but i am for you. i love you. thank you for making this possible, and god bless you. [cheers and applause] this campaign i really think was a referendum on what kind of a republican party we want and what kind of a country we want. we went to battle, ladies and gentlemen, in this primary, against one of the grossest organizations in professional establishment washington called the club for growth. i call them the club for chinese growth. [booing] thank you. the question in this primary was do we want to have a border that protects our citizens, do we want to ship our jobs to china or keep them right here in america for american workers and the american people. do we want a republican party that stands for the donors who write chec

when we as a party or movement, or people like tucker carlsen, throw out these theories, we are just as white replacement theory, or echo some of those kind of fear based things, you cannot be surprised when some people take that to the level of going in and massacring people, you just can't. >> that was republican congressman adam kinzinger, calling out his fellow republicans for feeding into white replacement theory, which the buffalo massacre cited as motivation for killing ten people. white replacement theory is the races antisemitic conspiracy theory that a cabal of rich jewish people are secretly filling the country with black and brown people, in order to replace white populations. it is disgusting and dangerous. republicans are acting with outrage that they are feeding into such nonsense, despite considerable evidence to the contrary. congressman elise stefanek, who on facebook is promoting white replacement theory, released a statement on monday blasting the media for associating her with the killings, and moments later, doubled down on white replacement theory in a tweet. p

. >> when we as a party and movement, or people like tucker carlsen, throw out these varies, we are just fish in the waters of white replacement theory, or echo some of the fear based things, you could not be surprised when somebody takes that to the level of gone and massacring people, you just can't. >> joining me now is democratic congressman of rhode island, david cicilline, congressman, it is good to see you. i want to start with ginni thomas's emails. you have justice thomas worried that americans have lost trust in a supreme court vis-À-vis that lake, but he has not set a word about his wife's activities to steal the election, your thoughts? >> this is very disturbing. this is an individual who is actively working and strategizing in an effort to overturn the results of an election and keep donald trump in office, despite the fact that he lost the election. we are encouraging the state to basically send a book a set of electors that did not represent the popular vote in arizona but did support donald trump, there by attempt to keep him in office even though he lost the election. t

i asked the question because at fox news you've got tucker carlsen, the highest rated show in cabell,s often -- in cable, he talks often about great replacement theory. the republican congresswoman elise stefanik invoked the conspiracy theory in her campaign ads last year. you got powerful voices amplifying and legitamizing these cist conspiracy theories. what does accountability look like? kathleen: we might add to that list stephen mler when he was in the trump administration, circulation -- circulating and openly white novel about great replacement theory in europe. i don't know if this set of people believes what they are saying or if they are trying to opportunistically use the movement for their own purposes, whether that is to get ratings or make money or get votes. what we do kw is that once the moment is called to arms, it doesn't stand back down. one of the consequences of this kind of rhetoric is events like the shooting in buffalo. u cannot separate one from the other and you cannot in good conscience say you are unaware of these violent implications of that kind of langua

guest: well noted, i will not go on tucker carlsen. my statement was clear.r met, seen anyone associated, or operate under a better cause, and people. i believe it is made up. i stick with that. secondly, most of the viewers have never heard of critical race theory until it became a popularized conversation on social media and fox news. had never been heard of. in fact, it is a research mostly done in graduate schools, studied in some law schools. it is -- has not been implemented in elementary schools, high schools across the country. it has been a manufactured, fear mongering approach that we have seen over and over again, where they talk about replacement theory, critical race theory, and tea for. all of these things are put out there as a redmeat to generate fear. we must address, who is doing this? why they are doing this, and stop it. host: ed is in baltimore, democrats line. caller: thanks for taking my call, thanks for c-span. when another caller calls in and talk on black on black crime, you dismissed it as a buzzword. it is called the international

what you're seeing is one of the main prop grandists for russian television, somebody who makes tucker carlsente was sent to mariupol and act like this is the salvation area that russia was saving mariupol and i think what you'll see by may 9th which is monday, victory day, is a kind of pseudo-world war ii narrative in which russia is saving the ukrainian brothers. even though they're destroying them and killing them and flattening them and just one city after another, the best they can. they're trying to create an image of salvation and so that's what you're seeing on russian tv and that's being drilled into the consciousness of the russian people. >> you know, it's remarkable, the video the russian tv was showing of soldiers getting medals in mariupol for the liberation, quote-unquote, of mariupol. when you juxtaposed that celebration, that ceremony, with the images we're seeing of mariupol i mean this -- russian forces once liberated concentration camps. now their definition of liberation is destroying mariupol. when you look now at images of mariupol. it is a ghost town, just like it's bee

because what happens is basically what you have is fascist ideas being broadcast by people like tucker carlsenpeople are listening to these. and it only takes one extremely kind of terrorists to translate this idea from theory to practice. and that is dangerous enough. but is tasked with a responsibility, both media responsibility, but institutional responsibility. >> institutional responsibility, jean, federico, 90 so much. up ahead, by pandemic era immigration policy staying in place, leaving thousands of migrants seeking refuge still waiting. but first, the real world impact of the supreme court decision. we're going to talk to a woman helping patients find abortion care in oklahoma. care in oklahoma if you've been living with heart disease, reducing cholesterol can be hard, even when you're taking a statin and being active. but you can do hard. you lived through thirty-seven red-eye flights in a middle seat. eleven miracle diets... forty-two college campus tours... four overseas postings... one minor stroke... and four citywide blackouts... and now, with leqvio, you can lower your choleste

what did your reporting find about that relationship between the gop and tucker carlsen?igh priest of trumpism. president trump has been out of office since january 2021. he has been banned from facebook and twitter for a while. i think tucker carlson has filled the media vacuum in trump's absence, and one way is to re-spin january 6 as a new lost cause. he did it on almost half of the episodes he did in 2021. he recaptured and restated what had happened. he said they were victims, lured in in a honey pot scheme by the fbi, that the election was stolen and nothing really bad happened that day. he has told that story again and again. he tries to make the aggressors into the victims. amna: what about a response from tucker carlson himself or fox? nick: he declined an interview. he said on his show last week that i was trying to shut him up, like a bad dinner party guest. that is unfair because i am a really fun dinner party guest. he says now he has not read the story. he seems really well-informed about the story since it came out. fox defends him, but of course, he is the

america also appearing thursday was fox news personality tucker carlsen, who praised orbÁn an a prerecordedd io -- video. former white house chief of staff mark meadows will address the conference today. and those are some of the headlines. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. we begin today's show looking at the crisis of white supremacist violence in the united states and the response to saturday's racist mass shooting in buffalo, new york, where an 18-year-old white gunman killed 10 people, all african-american, at a supermarket in the heart of the black community in buffalo, new york. on wednesday, the house passed legislation to bolster federal resources to prevent domestic terrorism. this comes after president biden visited buffalo tuesday. pres. biden: look, we've seen the mass shootings in charleston, south carolina, el paso, texas, pittsburgh, last year in atlanta, this week in dallas, texas, and now in buffalo. buffalo, new york. white supremacy is a poison. it is a poison. it really is. amy: investigators say the gunman spent months

her first day was asked if the white house should push back more, call out people by name like tucker carlsen py a role in the media. my question for you is do voters hear these ideas challenged enough? if not, how does that happen? >> part of the problem is we have media bubbles. there is not cross-pollination, so there are people paying very close attention to this and are very outraged and there are other folks who probably will not hear much about this at all. >> yeah. [laughter] what she said. we are in bubbles. the american population is vulnerable to receiving conspiracy theories and accepting them as reality and there is no defined truth and that sort of social isolation allows people to go into the dark recesses of the internet and find things that confirm their belief. >> it is front of mind for those of us in the media. how did we get that truth out there? another topic that does overlap, primaries! we have some tomorrow. north carolina, pennsylvania, and others. i just got back from the keystone state, fantastic few days there. republicans in the senate race ve three very conserva

influenced by these racist ideas which have been held on conservative networks by people like tucker carlsenr lives? >> it is enormous, katie. and the threat is really going. why this attack reminded me so much of was a attack that we thought was the capstone on all of our fears about the rhetoric moving into violence. when am i talking about? i'm talking about the el paso shooting in 2019. when i have been working in government i spent a decade working on counterterrorism. and then when donald trump took office we started to grow worried that his rhetoric was going to fuel a rise in domestic terrorism. we were warning that that was the case and we said that the numbers were starting to point in the direction that we see cases we call them, domestic terrorism cases, we're taking upward. then in 2019 an individual went and shot multiple people in a walmart in el paso, and cited the invasion as the u.s. southern border. it had a long manifesto that mirrored donald trump's rhetoric. it was, like i said, it capstone example of how that rhetoric and vitriol was turning into violence. we have now

rise of white supremacy in this country and how it has become mainstream through people like tucker carlsenif and i could be completely wrong. the more you fight them, when you talk about the steele becoming a part of the mainstream like marjorie taylor greene. the stronger and more united they become. and the less folks that are in leadership positions speak out. >> well that's exactly what's been happening. i -- daniel and i used analogy all the time on our podcast. it's the pena car tuned. where the majority is charlie brown. and when it comes to this increasingly reckless experience republican party and conservative movement there like lucy. and we say okay lucy this time you won't lift the football, will you? and lucy says, sure at the summit with the football. and even every single time she loves the football. and you see every single institution especially our media institutions bend the knee and normalize these individuals. going okay, we're going to have an olive branch, are you are not going to hurt us? no no, we're going to kill. you like okay, here's an olive branch. and so you

i got one question for you, would you be willing to go talk to tucker carlsen? r one, tucker wouldn't do it. the only time fox would have us on is pretaped. that is an -- an indication of what their intentions are for. there is a real fear there. one of the few places out there that is able to hold foxx accountable. we are able to pack a pretty good punch. number two, i wouldn't. not because i'm scared. he will come -- he could come to me. tucker is not just a missing former. the new york times confirmed this, tucker carlsen is enabler of --. the guy is mainlining. they did an enormous amount of research to quantify how deeply connected he is to real white supremacist. actual white supremacist groups that embrace the term because that is what they believe. his connections to it, they quantify just how much of that content he is reflecting on to his programming and all of the relationships there. i wouldn't do it because i do not want to help foxx and i don't want to pretend that is a legitimate conversation. if tucker were to renounce all the nationalism and chan

you had a more on from washington blame tucker carlsen you had the guy from georgia blaming everybodynder the sun, including all white people. you do not understand you are encouraging this kind of stuff from happening when you do not blame the shooter, when you blame tucker carlson. the lady says it is donald trump's fault. it is pathetic. you allow this stuff to go out over the air. and how come when a sick white person that the fbi should have been following, how come it is white supremacy, but when a black man shoots white people on the subway it is not black supremacy? one a black man in minneapolis drives into a crowd of a parade -- the media reports it as a car drove into a crowd. they did not mention the fact it was a black man who had the same type of file hatred on the internet. the last caller mentioned democrats have to unite and get together and start embracing the second amendment. where was anybody when a bernie sanders supporter targeted republican politicians on a baseball field? did anybody blame bernie sanders for that. host: we will go to bob in east hampton, massa

they want to do it with russia and tucker carlsen. pathetic.st: the war in ukraine -- host: whether you think it is going to have impact on the elections here. guest: it is getting attention from the public, not as much as it was, but a lot attention from official washington. if you look at, there was not a lot of rally around the flag effect for biden, publix opinion on handling it has been fairly negative. widens approval rating has been negative. i do not think ukraine will have a bearing on the midterm. host: at least important enough to spend money on. j.d. vance over the acid about ukraine, here is -- i do not care about what happens to ukraine one way or another. >> ♪ i do not care about what happens to ukraine one way or another. guest: this has come up in the primary for u.s. senate in ohio, ended up winning. i guess you could say, it didn't hurt him all that much in the primary, it was a splintered field. the late trump endorsement, important in vance winning. i think -- there is a lot of eastern european enclaves in eastern ohio, one

there is a huge article in "the new york times" about tucker carlsen and fox and how he stirs white nationalismbasis for his popularity with his television show. there's nothing new there. that goes back through the history of this country. "gone with the wind," "birth of a nation." those films are all about celebrating confederacy. white nationalism has been fundamental to this country and we are in full fight over critical race theory, which is also a battle over what is the identity of this country. are we in fact a multiracial democracy, or are we primarily straight fist white male christian nation where others are allowed to exist. that remains the driving fight and struggle within this country. host: let's get another caller in. larry is in north carolina on the republican line. hi. caller: how you doing? host: good. caller: the woman prior to my call about answered what i was going to ask. what i want to know is like when abraham lincoln died, grant, his first year, restored the south was working well than the democrats got control and it was all kind of under the table deals. i have a l

still was motivated by some of this racist rhetoric that has even found its way into tupper carlsen -- tuckern's show on fox with regularity. with that sort of thing we have to be more careful with. to think an 18-year-old killed 10 innocent people and three were seriously wounded, that is a horrible thing and was motivated by hate. david: what would your act do to help with the situation? sen. durbin: we want to report the crimes as they occur. this notion of walking around the problem, the director of the fbi made it clear they want to go after it and collect the data. we have to break down these groups. they are recruiting young people into their ranks. david: we have heard from the president and others we badly need more funding to fight covid. there may be another wave this fall and it has not made it through yet despite the urgency behind it. in part because republicans are saying we want to take care of that title 42 provision that excludes because of covid. are you going to have to get in on that? sen. durbin: shame on us if we are not prepared for the next variant of covid-19. we wen
