I WILL SEE YOU HERE BACK TOMORROW NIGHT AT 7:00. TUCKER WAS UP NEXT. ♪ ♪ >> Tucker: AMERICA WENT INSANE OVER THE WEEKEND AND IT’S BARELY AN OVERSTATEMENT. PEOPLE IN THEIR 80s WHO HAVE LIVED IN THE U.S. ALL THEIR LIVES SAID THEY’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. THIS WAS WITHOUT PRECEDENT IN THE MODERN ERA. A SMALL GROUP OF HIGHLY AGGRESSIVE EMOTIONALLY CHARGED ACTIVISTS TOOK OVER OUR CULTURE FORCING THE ENTIRE COUNTRY TO OBEY THEIR WILL. ALL HAPPENED SO FAST AND WITH SUCH FEROCITY THAT NO ONE RESISTED IT. PEOPLE SEEM BEWILDERED, EVEN STUNNED BY WHAT WAS HAPPENING. STATEMENTS OF FACT AND OPINION THAT WERE WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF REASONABLE CONVERSATION SUDDENLY A WEEK LATER WERE ENOUGH TO GET YOU FIRED FROM YOUR JOB AND A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WERE FIRED. AN AWFUL LOT HAPPEN THIS WEEKEND. FOR THE NEXT HOUR, WE WANT TO ASSESS THE AFTERMATH OF IT ALL TO SUGGEST WHAT IT MAY MEAN AND WHERE THIS COUNTRY IS LIKELY TO GO FROM HERE, BUT FIRST, WE WANT TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF WHAT HAPPENED. WE ARE GOING TO BEGIN TONIGHT IN MINNEAPOLIS WHERE THE BLACK LIVES MATTER RIOTS FIRST BEGAN ALMOST TWO WEEKS AGO. IS THE VIOLENCE THERE RAGED, SOME DEMOCRATIC LEADERS CAME TO A CONCLUSION THAT DIDN’T ON THE SURFACE MAKE INTUITIVE SENSE. WHAT THEIR CITY REALLY NEEDS, THEY DECIDED, IS LESS LAW ENFORCEMENT. IN FACT, NO LAW ENFORCEMENT, SO THEY BEGAN TO DEMAND THAT MINNEAPOLIS DEFUND THE POLICE. THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT THIS IDEAS HOW UNPOPULAR UNPOPULAR WITH THE PUBLIC IT IS. ALMOST NOBODY IN THE COUNTRY SUPPORTS IT. BUT THE ACTIVISTS UNDETERRED KEPT PUSHING THE IDEA AND WITHIN DAYS PRESSURE MOUNTS ON THE MAYOR OF MINNEAPOLIS JACOB FREY TO GET RID OF HIS CITY’S POLICE DEPARTMENT. THIS WAS A PROBLEM. HE HAS GREATER POLITICAL ASPIRATIONS AND THIS WOULD BE THE LAST CONVERSATION YOU WANTED TO HAVE. SO HE DID HIS BEST TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT WITH A MIX OF MANIC ENTHUSIASM AND FEIGNED EMPATHY. WELL PRACTICED IN THOSE AREAS. HERE HE IS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WITH HIS PREFERRED BRAND OF
COMMUNITY OUTREACH. COMMUNITY OUTREACH. ♪ ♪ DIDN’T WORK. THEN OR NOW. ACTIVISTS WHO WANTED ACTUAL ANSWERS, SO HE TRIED STEP TWO IN THE PROCESS, GROVELING. >> I’VE BEEN COMING TO GRIPS WITH MY OWN BROKENNESS IN THAT SITUATION, MY OWN FAILURE, MY
OWN SHORTCOMINGS. OWN SHORTCOMINGS. >> Tucker: AGAIN, GOOD TRY. AGAIN, NO DICE. BLACK LIVES MATTER TO THEIR CREDIT WANTED A REAL ANSWER TO THEIR QUESTION. IT WAS THEN THAT JACOB FREY MADE A FATAL MISTAKE. HE PUT HIMSELF IN A POSITION WHERE HE COULD BE ASKED THAT
QUESTION DIRECTLY. QUESTION DIRECTLY. HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED NEXT. >> YES OR NO, WILL YOU COMMIT TO DEFUNDING MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT? WE DON’T WANT NO MORE POLICE. STATEMENT I DO NOT SUPPORT THE FULL ABOLITION. >> YOU’RE WASTING OUR TIME. >> GO HOME, JACOB, GO HOME. GO HOME, JACOB, GO HOME. >> Tucker: WHAT A REMARKABLE PIECE OF TAPE THAT IS. AS A BIG CITY MAYOR IN THIS COUNTRY EVER BEEN MORE THOROUGHLY HUMILIATED? THE CORRECT ANSWER TO THAT NEEDLESS TO SAY IS UP YOURS, LADY. I’M NOT GOING ANYWHERE, I RUN THE CITY. YOU DOUBT THE ENTIRE CROWD WOULD’VE CHEERED JACOB FREY IF HE’D SAID THAT? PEOPLE ALWAYS ADMIRE RESOLVE EVEN WHEN THEY DISAGREE WITH THE POINT OF VIEW, BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT JACOB FREY DID. HE SLUNK AWAY LIKE A CHILD CAUGHT DOING SOMETHING FILTHY. THE MOST TELLING MOMENT CAME JUST BEFORE THAT WHEN THE WOMAN AND SUNGLASSES THREATENED TO DEFEAT THE MAYOR IN THE NEXT ELECTION. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU? IT TELLS YOU THAT BLACK LIVES MATTER IS IN FACT A POLITICAL PARTY. MAYBE THE STRONGEST POLITICAL PARTY OF THE UNITED STATES AS OF TONIGHT. ITS MEMBERS BELIEVE THEY CAN RESHAPE THIS COUNTRY AND SO FAR, THEY ARE PROVING TO BE RIGHT. HE COULD ALWAYS TELL WHICH POLITICAL MOVEMENTS ARE HEADED UP BY HOW STRAIGHTFORWARD THEIR MEMBERS AND SYMPATHIZERS ARE ABOUT WHAT THEY BELIEVE. STRONG PEOPLE SAY WHAT THEY THINK OUT LOUD. THEY ARE NOT EMBARRASSED OF THEIR BELIEFS. THEY THINK THEY ARE WINNING. WITH THAT IN MIND, WATCH THIS CLIP THIS MORNING. THIS IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE MINNEAPOLIS CITY COUNCIL LISA BENDER. SHE EXCLAIMS THAT THE DESIRE FOR SAFETY, THE DESIRE NOT TO HAVE YOUR HOME AND IS AIDED BY VIOLENT CRIMINALS IS IN FACT A SIGN OF RACISM. >> DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE WORD DISMANTLE FOR POLICE FREE ALSO MAKE SOME PEOPLE NERVOUS FOR INSTANCE, WHAT IF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, MY HOME IS BROKEN INTO, WHO WOULD BUY CALL? >> I HEAR THAT LOUD AND CLEAR FROM A LOT OF MY NEIGHBORS, AND I KNOW IT COMES FROM A PLACE OF PRIVILEGE BECAUSE FOR THOSE OF US FOR WHOM THE SYSTEM IS WORKING, I THINK WE NEED TO STEP BACK AND IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD FEEL LIKE TO ALREADY LIVE IN THAT REALITY WE ARE CALLING THE POLICE MAY MEAN MORE HARM IS DONE. >> Tucker: HELLO, POLICE, ARMED MEN ARE BREAKING INTO MY HOME, HELP. TO SHUT UP, RACIST, CLICK. THAT’S THE WORLD LISA BENDER IS CALLING FOR. HOW MANY PEOPLE AGREE WITH LISA BENDER? THAT SOUNDS REASONABLE, CALLING THE POLICE DEFINITELY QUALIFIES AS RACISM. IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE EVEN AMONG CNN’S AUDIENCE THAT VERY MANY PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT WHEN IT IS SO OBVIOUSLY NUTS FOR IT ON THE OTHER HAND, IT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER AT THIS POINT WHAT THE PUBLIC THINKS ABOUT ANYTHING. IN THE CASE OF THIS IDEA, MANY DEMOCRATIC LEADERS ARE ALREADY SOLD ON IT. HE WAS FORMER CONGRESSMAN KEITH ELLISON OVER THE WEEKEND. KEEP IN MIND AS YOU WATCH HIM SPEAK THAT HE IS NOW THE CHIEF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER IN MINNESOTA. HE’S THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. SAYING IT’S WRONG FOR POLICE TO BRING GUNS TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CALLS, SERIOUSLY. >> WE SEND OUT PEOPLE WITH GUNS AND THEY ARE TO USE DEADLY FORCE NO MATTER WHAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE. THE PROBLEM IS SEXUAL ASSAULT, WE BRING SOMEBODY WITH A GUN. THE PROBLEM IS SOMEBODY IN THEM MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS, WE SEND SOMEBODY WITH A GUN. >> Tucker: WE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING, THAT IS KEITH ELLISON, KIND OF AN UNFAIR EXAMPLE, HE HAS LONG BEEN A CRAZY PERSON WHO WAS ONCE ATTACHED TO THE NATION OF ISLAM AND BACK THEN CALLED HIMSELF KEITH HAKIM. MORE RECENTLY, HE ENDORSED ANTIFA AND THAT IS ALL TRUE BUT UNLIKE OTHER RACE BAITING EXTREMIST, HE MAY HAVE A PROMISING POLITICAL FEATURE, VERY INTERESTING TO IMAGINE IT. HE COULD BE THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES. AT THE VERY LEAST, HE WOULD BE FIRST IN LINE TO BECOME THE U.S. ATTORNEY FOR THE STATE OF MINNESOTA, THE TOP FEDERAL PROSECUTOR THERE. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN THEN? WE MAY LIVE TO FIND OUT. ALL OF THIS PROBABLY STRIKES YOU AS VIOLET DIED CRAZINESS, ELIMINATE THE POLICE, REALLY? BUT THINGS CHANGE FACT. LOOK AT HOW QUICKLY THEY CHANGED JUST OVER THE WEEKEND. THE SKILLED TRENDS BOTTOM IF THERE EVER WAS ONE IS ALREADY ACTING AS IF TO DEFUND THE POLICE, A PROPOSAL THAT NO SANE PERSON EVEN MENTIONED IN PUBLIC JUST LAST MONTH IS NOW THE DEFINING CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE OF OUR TIME. YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE A BIGOTED DINOSAUR, A BAD PERSON TO OPPOSE IT. >> THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS. THIS RIGHT NOW IS ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS. YOU ARE AN ELECTED OFFICIAL OR ANY REASON ON THIS CALL. I AM ACTING YOU TO ASK YOURSELF WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO SACRIFICE TO MAKE SURE THAT OVERFUNDED POLICE DEPARTMENT’S ARE DEFUNDED. >> Tucker: SO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU JUST SAW. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ ISN’T JUST A MEMBER OF CONGRESS. SHE’S MAYBE THE MOST FAMOUS MEMBER OF CONGRESS AND IS ALSO A SURROGATE FOR JOE BIDEN SO A LOT IS ON THE LINE HERE. SHE DIDN’T SAY THAT ACCIDENTALLY, SHE HAD A REASON FOR SAYING IT. WHY DID SHE SAY THAT? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? AS USUAL, THE TRUTH BEARS NO RESEMBLANCE WHATSOEVER TO WHAT THEY ARE TELLING YOU. THINK ABOUT IT, DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS CONTROLLED THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN VIRTUALLY EVERY BIG CITY IN THIS COUNTRY. NOW THEY ARE TELLING YOU THEY WANT TO GET RID OF THOSE POLICE DEPARTMENTS. THEY DID, THAT WOULD MEAN LESS POWER FOR THEMSELVES SO RIGHT AWAY, YOU KNOW THERE’S LYING GOING ON. DEMOCRATS DO NOT RELINQUISH POWER VOLUNTARILY. DEMOCRATS NEVER DO, SELECT THE FIRST THING TO KNOW, SOMETHING OBVIOUSLY IS GOING ON HERE BENEATH THE SURFACE. THIS HAS TO BE AN ATTEMPT TO INCREASE THE POWER OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BECAUSE EVERY POLICY THEY PUSH IS. ALWAYS. AND IN FACT, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT’S HAPPENING. YOU WILL HEAR THEM ADMIT THAT. INSTEAD, THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE POLICE. IN TAKE THE PEOPLE WHO CURRENTLY HAVE BADGES, MANY OF WHOM VOTED FOR DONALD TRUMP AND SWAP THEM OUT FOR NEW PEOPLE, PEOPLE WHO HATE DONALD TRUMP AND HATE THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR DONALD TRUMP. THAT’S WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING, AND IT MAKES SENSE GOOD LAW ENFORCEMENT IS ONE OF THE VERY FEW INSTITUTIONS REMAINING IN THIS COUNTRY THAT THE LEFT DOES NOT YET CONTROLLED. DEMOCRATS HATE THE POLICE BECAUSE THEY DON’T CONTROL THE POLICE. VERY SIMPLE. REMEMBER 35 YEARS AGO WHEN DEMOCRATS WERE CONSTANTLY ATTACKING THE U.S. MILITARY? YOU DON’T HEAR THAT ANYMORE. WHY IS THAT? IT’S VERY SIMPLE. THE LEFT TOOK OVER THE PENTAGON. NO REASON TO ATTACK PEOPLE YOU CONTROL, WHICH THEY DO. AND THEY PLAN TO DO THE SAME THING TO YOUR LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT. WHAT DEMOCRATS ARE PROPOSING ISN’T SOME FORM OF RADICAL LIBERTARIANISM, NO. IS THE OPPOSITE OF THAT. WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING IS A POWER GRAB. DEFUNDING THE POLICE AS A MOVE TOWARD AUTHORITARIAN SOCIAL CONTROL CLOAKED IN THE LANGUAGE OF IDENTITY POLITICS. ALREADY IN THE MIDDLE OF A TOTAL BREAKDOWN OF LAW AND ORDER AS WE WATCH OUR CITIES BURN, YOU ARE SEEING NEW MOVES TO PREVENT YOU FROM DEFENDING YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. JUST LAST TUESDAY, WAS RUNNING FOR CONGRESS IN GEORGIA POSTED THIS AD ON FACEBOOK AND WITHIN TWO DAYS, FACEBOOK PULLED IT DOWN. >> I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR ANTIFA TERRORISTS, STAY OUT OF NORTHWEST GEORGIA. YOU WEREN’T BURN OUR CHURCHES, LOOT OUR BUSINESSES, OR DESTROY OUR HOMES. >> Tucker: SO FACEBOOK HAS A POLICY AGAINST VIOLENCE, NOT THE VIOLENCE AND ENGULFING OUR CITIES, BUT THE VIOLENCE OF YOU DEFENDING YOUR FAMILY. THEY CREATE THE CHAOS, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DEFEND YOURSELF. YOU ARE IN OTHER WORDS WHOLLY DEPENDENT UPON THEM. IN THE FUTURE, THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WILL HAVE GUNS ARE PEOPLE ON THEIR TEAM, AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT DO YOU FUND THE POLICE REALLY MEANS. MEANS A WOKE MILITIA POLICING OUR CITIES AND ENFORCING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ORTHODOX. IMAGINE IF THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION DEPARTMENT HAVE THE POWER TO ARREST YOU. IMAGINE IF THE BLACK LIVES MATTER RIOTERS HAD WEAPONS AND IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION. THAT’S WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. PARTISAN LAW ENFORCEMENT. IT’S HARDLY WITHOUT PRECEDENT. IN FACT, IT’S A RULE. THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO BRING IT HERE. WHAT IS AGAIN A STRIKING IS HOW FEW AMERICAN VOTERS SUPPORT THIS, VERY FEW. PULLING FROM JUST A WEEK AGO SHOWED THAT ONLY 16% OF AMERICANS FAVORED CUTTING FUNDING FOR POLICE DEPARTMENTS. THERE WAS ALMOST NO PARTY DIVIDE ON THAT QUESTION SURPRISINGLY. THE NUMBERS WERE VIRTUALLY THE SAME FOR REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS. THE DIVIDE WAS ECONOMIC. YOU MAKE A MORE THAN $100,000 A YEAR, YOU ARE MORE THAN TWICE AS LIKELY TO THINK CUTTING THE POLICE WAS A GOOD IDEA, AND THERE’S NO MYSTERY THERE, OF COURSE, THEY CAN AFFORD THEIR OWN SECURITY. JEFF BEZOS DOESN’T NEED THE POLICE, HE’S GOT HIS OWN. UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE REST OF US, AND IT IS UNFORTUNATE, JEFF BEZOS AND PEOPLE LIKE HIM ARE THE ONLY ONES ALLOWED TO TALK RIGHT NOW. IT’S HARD TO OVERSTATE HOW VICIOUS THE CRACKDOWN ON FREE SPEECH AND FREE THOUGHT HAS BEEN IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. HERE’S THE NEW RULE, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO QUESTION BLACK LIVES MATTER IN ANY WAY. FALSE. THAT RULE HAS BEEN IN FORCE WITHOUT MERCY EVERYWHERE AND NOT JUST IN THIS COUNTRY. IN VANCOUVER, A MEN’S BASKETBALL COACH WAS FIRED FOR LIKING A TWEET THAT QUESTION BLACK LIVES MATTER. MEANWHILE, A PLAY ON THE L.A. GALAXY WAS FIRED BECAUSE HIS WIFE SAID SOMETHING CRITICAL ONLINE. NOT HIM BUT HE DIDN’T DO IT. HIS WIFE. DOESN’T MATTER. THEY CAN TO THE PLAYER ANYWAY. IMAGINE BEING A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT RIGHT NOW. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO REFUSE TO SHOW AFFIRMATIVE SUPPORT ON THEIR INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS WERE SHUNNED BY THEIR FRIENDS. JOURNALISTS WHO ASKED TOO MANY QUESTIONS WERE FIRED OR SILENCED. AGAIN, NOT AN EXAGGERATION. YOU THINK PEOPLE IN MEDIA WOULD RESENT THIS, PRESUMABLY SOME DO, BUT ALMOST EVERYBODY STAYED QUIET ABOUT IT. SOME APPLAUD IT. "THE NEW YORK TIMES" RAN AN OP-ED DEMANDING THAT PEOPLE DISOWN THEIR OWN FAMILIES IF THEIR FAMILIES FAILED TO SUPPORT BLACK LIVES MATTER ENTHUSIASTICALLY ENOUGH. TELL YOUR RELATIVES, TELL YOUR FRIENDS THAT "YOU WILL NOT BE VISITING OR ANSWERING PHONE CALLS UNTIL THEY TAKE SIGNIFICANT ACTION AND SUPPORTING BLACK LIVES THROUGH PROTEST OR FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS. GOT THAT? SORRY I’M A MOM. I KNOW YOU ARE OLD AND ALONE AND MISS YOUR GRANDCHILDREN, BUT WE ARE SHUNNING YOU UNTIL YOU SEND MORE MONEY TO BLACK LIVES MATTER MATTER. IN AN ENVIRONMENT LIKE THIS, WE’VE NEVER LIVED IN AN ENVIRONMENT LIKE THIS, BUT YOU CAN IMAGINE. MOST PEOPLE GET THE MESSAGE VERY FAST. AND THE WEAK ONES ARE QUICK TO JOIN AND JUST LIKE THE GOOD LITTLE RED GUARDS THEY’VE ALWAYS BEEN UNDERNEATH IT ALL. HERE IS MITT ROMNEY. >> VIOLENCE AND BRUTALITY AND MAKE SURE THE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT BLACK LIVES MATTER. >> Tucker: HE JUST WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT AMERICANS UNDERSTAND THAT BLACK LIVES MATTER. AS IF AMERICANS DIDN’T KNOW THAT THAT. BUT ACCUSING YOUR ENTIRE COUNTRY OF RACISM TURNS OUT TO BE A PRETTY SMALL PRICE FOR SOMEONE LIKE MITT ROMNEY. WHAT HE IS REALLY WORRIED ABOUT, WHAT ALL THE FINANCE MOGULS FINDING THIS MOVEMENT ARE WORRIED ABOUT IS THAT SOMEONE SOMEWHERE WILL ASK THE OBVIOUS QUESTIONS. HOW MUCH HAVE YOU MADE, HOW RICH HAVE YOU BECOME BY SENDING JOBS OVERSEAS, BY CHARGING OBSCENE INTEREST RATES AND BY OTHERWISE HARMING THE POOR AND BLACK COMMUNITIES ECONOMICALLY? ALL THE BASIC CRIMES ARE ECONOMIC. MITT ROMNEY DOESN’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT AT ALL, SO HE MARCHES. AND BLACK LIVES MATTER COULDN’T BE HAPPIER ABOUT IT. THE COMPLICITY OF PEOPLE LIKE MITT ROMNEY GIVES GROUPS LIKE BLACK LIVES MATTER STRENGTHS. A BLACK LIVES MATTER IS BECOMING MORE POWERFUL BY THE HOUR AND THEY KNOW IT. WATCH THIS INTERVIEW FROM SATURDAY IN WHICH A BLACK LIVES MATTER ACTIVIST CHEERFULLY ADMITS HE MAY SOON INCINERATE PEOPLE WITH GASOLINE. >> IT MEANS A LOT OF THINGS. COULD MEAN FOR THE PEOPLE AND IT COULD ALSO MEAN FIRE INTO PROPERTY. WE ARE HOPING THEY COME OUT AND TALK TO US AND GIVE THE YOUTH SOME DIRECTION BUT IF THEY DON’T, THEN GASOLINE IS AWFULLY CHEAP. >> Tucker: THE AMAZING THING IS NOT JUST THAT HE SAID THAT, THOUGH THAT’S SHOCKING ENOUGH. THE AMAZING THING IS THAT HE SET IT ON TELEVISION LIVES. HE WASN’T WORRIED ABOUT BEING ARRESTED. IN YOU WERE STILL NOT ALLOWED TO ATTEND CHURCH SERVICES OR GO TO BIG WEDDINGS. TOO BAD YOU ARE NOT FRIENDS WITH MURIEL BOWSER. HE COULD DO ANYTHING. HE HAS RENAMED A PARK BLACK LIVES MATTER PLAZA AND NO ONE CRITICIZED HER FOR IT. PRACTICALLY SENT HER FLOWERS. >> HAVING A MURAL OF BLACK LIVES MATTER IN HUGE BLACK LETTERS ACROSS THREE BLOCKS LEADING UP
TO THE WHITE HOUSE, AS I SAID DO TO THE WHITE HOUSE, AS I SAID DO YOU WANT TO SUNDAY, BAD MOVE THAT YOU MADE. >> IT IS A REPRESENTATION OF AN EXPRESSION OF OUR SAYING YOU KNOW, BUT ALSO IDENTIFYING AND CLAIMING A PART OF OUR CITY THAT HAD BEEN TAKEN OVER BY FEDERAL FORCES. >> Tucker: WAS BLEEDING GRATIFIED BY THE SUPPORT SHE RECEIVED, SO SHE ALSO HAD BLACK LIVES PATRICK WOW MATTER PAINTED ON AN ENORMOUS YELLOW LETTERS. A KIND OF A BOLD MOVE IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, MAKING A STREET PARTISAN. IMAGINE A BIG CITY MAYOR NAMING A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE NRA AVENUE OR PLANNED PARENTHOOD BOULEVARD. IT’S IMPRESSIVE IN A WAY, BUT BLACK LIVES MATTER WASN’T SATISFIED BY IT, NOT EVEN CLOSE. THE D.C. CHAPTER RELEASED A STATEMENT ATTACKING MAYOR BOWSER FOR NOT GIVING COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CITY’S POLICE DEPARTMENT. "THIS IS TO APPEASE WHITE LIBERALS WHILE IGNORING OUR DEMANDS. BLACK LIVES MATTER MEANS DEFUND THE POLICE. GOT THAT? BLACK LIVES MATTER MEANS DEFUND THE POLICE. SO THAT’S WHAT BLACK LIVES MATTER MEANS. NO ONE REALLY EXPLAINS THAT. NOW WE KNOW WITH INTEL AND PEPSI AND AMAZON ARE SUPPORTING WHEN THEY SEND MONEY. DEFUNDING THE POLICE. SUDDENLY IT FEELS LIKE ALL THE ADULTS HAVE GONE TO SAINT BARTH’S AND TURNED OFF THEIR CELL PHONES. WHO WAS RUNNING THIS COUNTRY? WHO’S IN CHARGE? ANYONE? YET AMAZINGLY, SOME REPUBLICANS IN WASHINGTON SEEM GIDDY AS THEY WATCH THE COUNTRY GO INSANE. DEMOCRATS HAVE GONE TOO FAR THIS TIME, THEY WILL TELL YOU. WE ARE GUARANTEED TO WIN IN NOVEMBER. PROBABLY GOTTEN TEXT TO OF THAT AFFECT RECENTLY FROM FRIENDS. SOUNDS GOOD, BUT THEY ARE WRONG. THEY ARE TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY WRONG ON MANY LEVELS. BUT ONE THING IF YOU CARE ABOUT A COUNTRY, YOU’VE GOT TO TRY. YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO TRY YOUR VERY BEST TO PROTECT AND DEFEND IT NO MATTER WHO IS HELPED IN NOVEMBER. THAT’S WHAT PATRIOTISM IS. NOT ABOUT YOU, IT’S ABOUT AMERICA. EVEN AS A MATTER OF PEER POLITICS, THIS IS A MINDLESS ANALYSIS, A STUPID CALCULATION. BAD IDEAS ARE LIKE CANCER. WHEN YOU IGNORE THEM AND PRETEND THEY ARE NOT THERE, THEY SPREAD. MOST PEOPLE AS WE NOTED CURRENTLY OPPOSED DEFUNDING THE POLICE. THAT IS WHERE THE POLLS STAND RIGHT NOW. BUT WILL THEY FEEL THAT WAY IN THREE MONTHS? HOW ABOUT IN THREE WEEKS? IN AN ENVIRONMENT LIKE THIS, YOU DON’T KNOW. THIS MOVE FAST. COMMISSIONER ONCE OPPOSED MOCKING AMERICANS LIKE ANNEALING TO ATTACK THE COUNTRY IS RACIST, NOW HAS ANNOUNCED HE IS WITH BLACK LIVES MATTER. >> WE ADMIT WE WERE WRONG FOR NOT LISTENING TO NFL PLAYERS EARLIER. AND ENCOURAGE ALL TO SPEAK OUT WILL BE PROTEST. WE AT THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE BELIEVE BLACK LIVES MATTER. I HAVE PERSONALLY PROTEST WITH YOU. >> Tucker: OF THIS IS SO GOOD FOR REPUBLICANS, EXPLAIN THIS. WHY DOES THE LATEST ROUND INDICATES THAT JOE BIDEN’S LEAD IN THIS RACE IS GROWING? AND THAT’S NOT A SMALL THING IF YOU PLAN TO LIVE HERE. YOU DON’T WANT TO LIVE UNDER ATTORNEY GENERAL KEITH ELLISON, SO WHY IS IT HAPPENING? MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE REPUBLICANS IN WASHINGTON HAVE DECIDED TO SIT THIS CRISIS OUT. THEY HAVEN’T BOTHERED TO EXPLAIN WHAT’S WRONG. THEY HAVEN’T BOTHERED TO TELL US ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT MIGHT BE FLAWED ABOUT BLACK LIVES MATTER, AND THEY DON’T PLAN TO. THEY ARE TOO CYNICAL, TOO FEARFUL. THEY ARE GOING TO PEN LIKE IT’S NOT HAPPENING, REPEAT PLATITUDES, READ BUMPER STICKERS ON THE AIR, NOD SOLEMNLY, AND DO NOTHING TO PROTECT THE COUNTRY. WHY WOULD VOTERS REWARD THAT? DEMOCRATS BY CONTRAST WHO ARE COMPLETELY WRONG AND ARE LEADING US DOWN A PATH THAT WON’T END WELL AREN’T SHAMED IN THE SLIGHTEST OF WHAT THEY BELIEVE. THEY BRAG ABOUT IT JUST LIKE THEY KNEELED IN SUBMISSION. >> WE ARE HERE TO HONOR GEORGE FLOYD. FOR THOSE WHO WISHED, WE WILL
NOW KNEEL FOR A MOMENT OF NOW KNEEL FOR A MOMENT OF
SILENCE. >> Tucker: NANCY PELOSI DOING >> Tucker: NANCY PELOSI DOING SOMETHING CRAZY AGAIN. KEEP IN MIND, IT WASN’T JUST NANCY PELOSI, NOT BY A LONG SHOT. MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL GUARD KNEELED TOO. SO DID A GROUP OF FBI AGENTS, SO DID THE PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA DONNA JUSTIN TRUDEAU WHO OTHER DAY WAS WEARING BLACK FACE. THE POLICE CHIEF OF WEBSTER MASSACHUSETTS WENT EVEN FURTHER THAN THAT. HE LAID ON THE GROUND AND COMPLETE SUBMISSION. AND THEN THINGS BEGAN TO SPIN COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL NOT JUST IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT THROUGHOUT THE WEST AS THE CROWD SWELLED AND THE DEMAND FOR TOTAL IDEOLOGICAL CONFORMITY GREW LOUDER, THIS LATEST CULTURAL REVOLUTION BECAME A PARODY OF ITSELF AS THEY ALWAYS DO. IN LONDON, PROTESTERS VANDALIZED THE STATUE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN BECAUSE WHAT IT ABRAHAM LINCOLN EVER DO FOR BLACK PEOPLE? A MOB DEFACED A MONUMENT TO THE FIRST ALL-BLACK VOLUNTEER REGIMEN IN THE CIVIL WAR BECAUSE BLACK PEOPLE DYING TO END SLAVERY SOUNDS LIKE WHITE SUPREMACY TO US. AROUND THE SAME TIME, A LAW PROFESSOR FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO CALLED FOR AN ARMED COUP TO OVERTHROW THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, BUT THAT DIDN’T FELT GET A LOT OF PRESS BECAUSE IT DIDN’T SEEM PARTICULARLY NEWSWORTHY UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCE. WAS THAT KIND OF WEEKEND. WHAT IS GOING ON? WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? EVEN THE OUTLINES ARE BLURRY AT THIS POINT, BUT WE KNOW THIS, NO MATTER WHAT THEY TELL YOU, IT HAS VERY LITTLE TO DO WITH BLACK LIVES, IF ONLY IT DID. DEMOCRATIC LEADERS CARED ABOUT SAVING THE LIVES OF BLACK PEOPLE, AND THEY SHOULD, THEY WOULDN’T IGNORE THE MURDER OF THOUSANDS OF YOUNG BLACK MEN IN THEIR CITIES EVERY YEAR. THEY WOULDN’T PUT ABORTION CLINICS IN BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY WOULD INSTEAD DO THEIR VERY BEST TO IMPROVE THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND TO ENCOURAGE INTACT FAMILIES WHICH WE KNOW BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT IS CENTRAL TO THE LIFE PROSPECTS OF CHILDREN. THEY TRIED TO MAKE BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS AS SAFE AS THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY CLOSE THE PAYDAY LENDERS THAT ADD SO MUCH MISERY TO PEOPLE OF ALL COLORS. BUT THEY DON’T EVEN CONSIDER DOING ANY OF THIS, THEY DON’T EVEN TRY. INSTEAD, THE ENCOURAGE THEFT AND MAYHEM AS IF THAT WILL HELP. WILL NOT HELP. THIS MAY BE A LOT OF THINGS, THIS MOMENT WE ARE LIVING THROUGH, BUT IT IS DEFINITELY NOT ABOUT BLACK LIVES AND REMEMBER THAT WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU AND AT THIS RATE, THEY WILL. ANYONE WHO HAS EVER BEEN SUBJECTED TO THAN BOB KNOWS THE FEELING. IT’S LIKE BEING A SWARMED BY HORNETS. AND THE TEMPTATION IS TO PANIC. HAVE TO KEEP YOUR HEAD AND TELL THE TRUTH. YOU SHOW WEAKNESS OF ANY KIND, THEY WILL CRUSH YOU. ASK YOUR BREEZE. BY SOME ACCOUNTS, BOARDROOM BREEZES ON HIS FOURTH APOLOGY FOR THE CRIME OF DEFENDING THE AMERICAN FLAG. HE DECIDED TO APOLOGIZE AND NOW THEY ARE USING HIM AS A PROPAGANDA WORKING HOSTAGE TAPE AFTER HOSTAGE TAPE. AT A MOMENT LIKE THIS, THERE IS NO ADVANTAGE IN COWARDICE, IN BEING MET ROMNEY. YOU THINK YOU’RE SAVING YOURSELF BUT YOU’RE JUST EMPOWERING THE WORST PEOPLE MY PEOPLE WHO HATE YOU. BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, CONFESSING TO CRIMES YOU DIDN’T COMMIT. IN TELL THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH IS THIS IS A GOOD COUNTRY, BEEN BETTER THAN ANY OTHER. WE HAVE NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF. IMMIGRANTS KNOW THAT BEST OF ALL. THAT’S WHY THEY COME HERE. A MILLION NEW AMERICANS EVERY YEAR. THEY ARE NOT COMING BECAUSE AMERICA IS A RACIST COUNTRY. THEY ARE COMING BECAUSE IT’S NOT. THAT IS ALL TRUE. AND THEY WERE CLEAR MOMENTS WE KNOW IT’S TRUE, EVEN THE PEOPLE CLAIMING IT’S NOT. TRUTH IS A DEFENSE NO MATTER WHAT THEY ARE DOING AT THIS MOMENT. THIS MOMENT WILL PASS, REMEMBER THAT. WHEN IT DOES, WE WILL LOOK BACK AT WHAT WE JUST SAW IN HORROR AND DISBELIEF, BUT IF YOU ARE HONEST NOW, YOU’LL KEEP YOUR DIGNITY AND ULTIMATELY, YOU WILL
I’d vote for the White Party anyday anytime
It seems evident to Tucker, and basically to everyone else paying attention, that the Democrat party is getting hijacked by the woke monsters they helped create.
The up-and-coming 'anti-racist' contingent is in the process of seizing power from the befuddled Old Guard of left. If you were confused as to why these mayors and governors offered praise and jubilant celebration over the destruction of their cities and states, it is because they are completely terrified. They have been made to recognize that they no longer control their cities, and the police - designed as they are to protect the elite - are politically immobilized.
What will follow in most Democrat controlled cities is the following:
-The compulsory exile of all white politicians, administrators and civil servants from their positions
-'Policing' as such will be divided among a series of new organizations, and one or more of these organizations will operate independent of the Justice System as such. That is, they will be responsible for enforcing compliance with ideology, not with law. These organizations will be exclusively non-white.
-Whites, especially rich whites, will be terrorized and punished in the streets.
Ironically for liberal whites, they will be first to go given their proximity and because they attempt to moderate the more violent tendencies of the woke-cohort. If we have learned anything recently it is that these groups do not want to be moderated.
If all of this seems far-fetched and impossible: you're in for a wild ride. We're seeing the equivalent of a far-left Putsch in Democrat cities, and they're using precisely the same tactics used by violent ideological groups in the past. The ruling class, fearing conflict with emergent, energetic and pseudo-militarized group, hands over the reigns of power.
I don’t know if it was Tucker that said this, but someone made a great point. Donating to BLM is Racism insurance. When you donate to them, they leave your business alone. They leave you alone. You tow the line. You’re not on Facebook being critical of the many facets of their organization. So they don’t dox you or try to get you fired. But if you don’t buy their racism insurance, you’re screwed. Very good analogy.
Just when I thought Democrats were the worst
